Married...with Content

We're back! Welll, I mean, we weren't like, gone, really, just not releasing shows. We released a show! And it's a part one of two, so that means we will have released two shows! Nothing will stop us now! One Halloween, long ago, one of our Crossover episodes got religion. Or rather, the discussion about the comic that we were covering with guests Tim Price and Sean, Podcast Host and Man of Knowledge, turned to that topic without having been planned that way, and we wound up having an informative and extremely interesting discussion. You can listen to that here: https://marriedwcomics.libsyn.com/mephisto-vs-the-podcasters-three-god-dracula-and-everything-else   It was well-received by our listeners and we were complimented on how civil and non-jujdemental we came across. Since this surprised us as much as anyone, we thought we'd have them on again for a (slightly) more structured discussion. In part one, we cover the Fantastic Four: Hereafter arc, and talk about death and resurrection in comics, how aspects of the story come across when filtered through the lenses of different faiths (Including how one story element is technically blasphemous for different reasons for different religions, but only if you're really really trying to see it that way.   In Part 2, we will have a no-questions forbidden roundtable on religion, in which we compare and contrast dogma, talk about how each of our religions thinks about the other ones, and all sorts of other things that you'd think would have led to huge arguments, but didn't!  We decided to split this episode, both due to the time, and content:  part one is more comics focused and part two is more religion focused. This will allow people that are not interested in one or the other topic the opportunity to focus on the one they want. After both are published, we may publish one that includes both, for all you completists out there. Here's one of Sean's shows:  https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/show/wonderwoman/   Here are Tim's: Www.thehuntresspodcast.com      

Feeling nostalgic for this year's JL Ape-ril crossover, where great comics podcast from across the sphere covered their favorite ape-related comics? Well, good news! Jon and Maggie have absolutely no sense of time,  so here is the final installment four months late! Man, that was cool of us!  Join us for around three hours of coverage of the entire 7 part series, as well as random disgressions into pretty much any topic you can think of!   Check out these other entries in the crossover: The Outcasters  Dial F for Flanger The Bat-Pod Coffee & Comics  The Fanholes  Once Upon a Geek Campus Comics Cast  Quarter Bin Podcast   Available wherever great podcasts can be found!   Feedback at married2comics@gmail.com

The RodPod is back! Maggie and the two Jons cover issues 13 of Robots in Disguise and More Than Meets the Eye, as well as Spotlight: Megatron, as we continue our coverage of IDW: Phase 2 Transformers comics.   In MTMTE 13, more meta jokes than you can shake a psychic paper at, Ultra Magnus gets drunk, and we learn a secret about Swerve, which would be the most shocking reveal of the episode if it weren't for what's coming.  Spotlight: Megatron adds some context and depth to Megatron and Starscream's releationship, which we, of course, talk about in purely sexual terms. And RID 13, which has that shocking reveal I mentioned. The last few issues have had some pretty insane last page cliffhangers, but you are not going to see the end of this one coming.    Also, Maggie and Jonathan talk about an incident in baseball history without providing enough context, and we respond as only we can to reader feedback.     Jon M Wilson appears courtesy of jonreadscomics.com 

Jon M Wilson and Layne Join Jon back on Krynn, to cover chapters 7-9 of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Listen in, as Jon gripes about and praises different parts of Weis and Hickman's ongoing new Dragonlance series, the trio comes up with ideas for what Jon would call a goth band, were he to be in one, and then be not-perplexed by the mystery this part of the book deals with, and see if you can figure out who the traitor is. (You won't be perplexed)

Just in time for, uh, Thank-a-ween, Mephisto is back, and he's brought more podcasters than you can shake a pitchfork at!
