    …Oblivion Bar for always being those good friends to talk comics with. I used to support them on Patreon, but money is tight as my wife finishes NP school. Just know all their content is Golden!

    New Favorite Comic Book Podcast!
    Love Chris and Aaron’s back and forth. Their recent‘The Flash” review is hilarious — mostly because of how much Chris hated it 😂 highly recommend!
  • smoothdawg65
    Feel the love!
    Chris and Aaron bring a fun energy to every episode. You can hear the strength of their friendship, and the real excitement they have for their topics. They have put together a top-notch show with incredible guest interviews. The Battle Royale episodes are a particular highlight. Highly Recommend!

    Really like the concept
    I think this is a cool concept of having interviews, reviews, as the main topic for each episode. It gives a fresh outlook and offers a change of pace while also having the same structure feel. Very cool

    Chris and Aaron are so in-depth with their analysis on all things nerdy! I’ve read at least four different suggestions from Chris’ Corner 📚
  • Kodaaboyy
    Just started, but will keep listening
    I just started to listen based on the Unite the 7, but I have exclusively had them on for this past week and I am so glad I can back fill what I missed. This is a great listen, informative and entertaining. The hosts have more than enough knowledge on everything they talk about, but it is still fun. Makes me want to be in the room with them!

  • mexicanjunior
    Great Show!
    Listened to episode 26, great news sections about The Mandalorian, The Boys and Black Widow. I would not pay over $10 to stream it on Disney +. Wandavision sections were very informative and entertaining. I agree that Ralph is most likely Mephisto. Great episode, would listen again!
