Hey Kids, Comics! #174 - To All-Con and Back Again

Welcome at long last to the 174th issue of "Hey Kids, Comics!"  

This issue is running rather late due to post-All-Con constraints on JediCole's part and the inevitable con crud that set in afterwards as well.  But illness did not stop this issue making it out, albeit a week late and with the next issue hot on its heels.

All-Con, the favorite convention of The JediCole Universe, has long been a periodic subject of this show.  2016 proves no exception as Andrew Farmer (who could not attend this year) gets the details about the show from co-host Cole Houston.  Cole talks about his 12th year with the show and a banner year for Games and Theory, the game show track at All-Con.  

That and so much more on the latest HKC!

Hey Kids, Comics! #173 - If You Can't Take The Heat (Daredevil part 2)

In Coles last show away for All-con, HKC heads into Hell’s Kitchen once more for Issue 173.  With Daredevil Season 2 preparing to stalk darkly on Netflix; Andrew is joined by show alum and media czar, Jason “Old Hollywood” Adams to rehash the finer points of the first season of The Man without Fear, as well as speculate on whats coming for us in the next 13 episodes. 

Jason and Andrew also discuss Batman v Superman casting, J.K. Simmons, J.J. Abrams and the Industrimedia complex. Jason postulates on a possible Kevin Smith conspiracy theory, and Andrew yells about the flash a little.

All this and more, in another action packed issue of HKC!  

The audio went a little nuts in the last 10 minutes, we recovered most of it...also I am a sinus monster...full disclosure 

Hey Kids, Comics! #172 - The "10s" Part Two

We are back, dear listeners, to once again navigate the stegian void of linear story telling, with Hey Kids, Comics issue 172.  This week we tackle a myriad of topics in the second part of "The 10s".  Nic joins Andrew once again to ask Yes, And to a bushel of top ten topics, and fear not important questions are answered.  We wreck your paradigm with such pressing issues as "is the joker just really attracted to the batman", and "SugarMan?"

 

Cole is still in the war room for this one, but his influence is all over this issue.  Show your thanks for all his hard work by heading to All-Con this year, and getting involved.  He will return in short order to regale us with tales of entertainment and victory.

Again, this is a rated R show, so out the kids to bed (yeah it's 3 in the afternoon, but you know you want to), and buckle in for part two of THE 10s!

Listen Here

His name is Kevin Spacey

Hey Kids, Comics! #171 - The "10s" Part One

"People Love Top Ten Lists" - Nic

And frankly I can't disagree.  In an issue of HKC, that is equal parts Buzzfeed, and an Improv Experiment, we explore everything from netflix to babes.  There is also a surprising amount of Longshot for some reason.  We are joined by Nic, and record live from Kentucky.  Ample Warning, we are using a new rig, and not all the bugs are worked out, so the sound might get a little wonky at times, just hang in there, and it will be worth your while.

Cole is still out for this one, and just like when your parents go out on a date night, Nic and I raid the liqueur and get a little dirty with it, so put the kids to bed and get ready for the first installment of  the "10s".

Hey Kids, Comics! #170 - The Best Comics We've Ever Played

Once more into the breach, fearless listeners!  HKC is back with issue 170:  The Best Comics We've Ever Played.  With Cole off to focus his boundless energy on what is sure to be an amazing All-Con (side quest), Andrew forges new alliances with old friends to continue the journey into the dark heart of all things Comics.  Joined by Hulking Barbarian, Kurt Maksay; and Guileful Gnome Tinkerer, Jordan Waag, the boys attempt to peel back the layers on the topic of Comic Book Games.  From vast fields of RPG to the peaceful valleys of board games this band plows forward to answer important questions like "Why hasn't Kurt played G.U.R.P.'s" and "Why is Heroclix so much like Freemasonry"?
