Episode 20: Mike and Shag "Forever"




This week on Views From The Longbox...

...all right stop, collaborate and listen, Shag's back with a brand new edition.
...another edition of Out of Context Theater.
...Mike and Shag talk about some of the better comic book series from the mid to late eighties.
...all that and the "all-important" Podcast Pick of the Week.

As usual this episode is not entirely work safe. It's not that Mike and Shag are potty mouths, but they are adults and sometimes the f-bombs and such will fly, so put some earphones on if you're at work. Surprisingly the audio quality this time out was pretty good, so hopefully it will make for a better listening experience, at least in terms of how it sounds if not content.

Views From The Longbox is a comic book podcast hosted by Michael Bailey. Every week Michael will cover some aspect of the wide, wide world of comic books. Each episode will usually run twenty to thirty minutes so Michael won’t be wasting too much of your time with his sometimes incoherent ramblings about the comic books and related items that he has squirreled away in his house. This week's episode includes:


- Hey, another edition of Out of Context Theater.

- A lengthy diatribe on why SPIDER-MAN 3 still sucks.

- More "reader" mail.

- A quick reminder about the contest going on here at Views and then it's over.

It's Official


Spider-Man 3 still sucks.

Bought it on Friday. Watched it last night. My opinion remains unchanged.

There are parts I really like. The action scenes on the whole are very well done. I think they (as in the movie people) are finally at that point where they can do super-hero action effectively. I liked Thomas Hayden Church. I liked Topher Grace. I even half assed liked Gwen Stacey.

Taken as a whole the movie is ass.

Oh well, that's what they made scene skipping for. Besides I watch movies primarily in the Fortress and I can zone out on the scenes I don't like.
Sigh.
Here's hoping the fourth one is better.
