Hey Kids, Comics! #125 - The Super-Human Condition: Above and Beyond

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston have a lot on board this week as The Super-Human Condition continues to explore the effects of being a hero or villain can have on psychology, society, and more.

This week the bar is raised beyond the reach of most, unless they happen to be "born that way".  In other words, mutants.  But the "Children of the Atom" are not the only players in this big league.  There are also those who accidentally became permanently imbued with super powers.  Or those who chose to be mutated toward that end.  All of these possibilities and more are discussed in this week's issue.

Hey Kids, Comics! #124 - The Super-Human Condition: Man Plus

Do clothes make the man? How about body armor?  Or theability to cloak oneself in  impenetrablemystic shielding?  What about seeminglyordinary objects imbued with immense power? If you have these things, and oh so many more, that can certainly defineor “make” you!

“The Super-Human Condition” continues as Andrew Farmer andJediCole talk up the psychology and the nature of super-heroes.  This issue explores how even the most mundaneof human beings can thrive in the realm of the super-hero by virtue ofhyper-enhancement.  From cybernetics tomagic to exoskeletons to power-of-the-gods level firepower, punching up whatGod gave you can turn any milquetoast into a powerhouse! 

Check it out today as “Man Plus” continues the latest storyarc.

Hey Kids, Comics! #123 - The Super-Human Condition: Peak Performance

The latest story arc of Hey Kids, Comics! begins now!  

Taking an in depth look at the psychology of the super-hero (and super-villain), Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston begin to analyze exactly what it takes to be such a crimefighter or criminal and what being such does to the psyche.  In this first chapter the very pinnacle of human achievement is discussed.  Characters like Hawkeye, Ozymandias, and Batman (naturally) have honed their bodies, their minds, and their skills and training to the most proficient and ultimate levels a normal man may achieve.  Then they have chosen to fight criminals, despots, intergalactic monsters, and even godlike entities alongside other heroes who are often godlike in their own right.

What can compel a human to enter the realm of those more than human and manage to hold their own?  Your hosts will certainly endeavor to find out!

The Rantcor Pit #30 - Speeders, Walkers, and Cloud Cars! Oh My!

The Rantcor Pit is back with the second half of our vehicular exploration of the Star Wars universe!  This time Cole Houston and Eddie Medina are looking at all of the vehicles that are pretty much stuck on the planet where you find them.  In other words, they are not going to be traveling to the stars.

 

Walkers, speeder bikes, bongos, landspeeders, and other land, sea, and air craft are the focus of this "auto show" of Star Wars!

Hey Kids, Comics! #122 - Journey Into Toys

It is a return to the Aisle of Toys with Andrew and Cole this week!

With the International Toy Fair fast approaching, your hosts are again thinking about toys, especially those based on comic books, with a little something more in the mix.

Get ready to hear a couple of guys who are silly for toys as well as a special appearance by Mrs. JediCole.

Do It Yourself 6: Interstellar

Welcome to the latest edition of the movie review show that tells you not only what the critics think, but everything they would have done differently in the bargain!  Yes, it's time for a new Do It Yourself!

This time Vegabomber and Joose set their sights on Interstellar.  Discover for yourself how they would have preferred to see this post Apocalyptic epic of mankind grasping at the last hope of survival pan out in the end. 

BS with SB Volume 2: 14 F'n Months Later!

Welcome to a long overdue second episode of BS wtih SB!

Fourteen months after the first show, Cole Houston and Stuart Baulk (of Midnight Movie Cowboys) are back at it with a pretty casual, if rather adult language filled, conversation.  

From Australia Day 2015 to how damned many podcasts JediCole is on these days, the whole discussion just moves here and there as two friends a world apart reunite with live mics and nothing much held back during taping or cut out of the final show.

Language Warning:  Fairly free use of "not for the kids" language can be found on this show.

Hey Kids, Comics! #121 - It's Raining Supermen, Hallelujah!

Men of Steel, strange visitors from another planet, Men of Tomorrow, Big Blue Boy Scouts, Last Sons of Fill-In-The-Blank-Planet, Caped Wonders...

Call them what you will, legion are the Superman tributes, parodies, and blatant rip-offs to be found in comics!  Join Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston as they explore the variety of Superman analogues from decades upon decades of such pretenders to the cape in this "uber" episode of HKC!

The Rantcor Pit #29 - Ships of the Line

The Rantcor Pit is back! 

 

Your hosts Cole Houston and Eddie Medina take to the spaceways in a special episode all about the spacecraft of Star Wars!  One of the most iconic elements of the Saga is the various vehicles large and small that conveyed the heroes, villains, armies, and everyday denizens from planet to planet.  From the fighter craft and capital warships to the Millennium Falcon and Count Dooku's odd little solar sailer, there was not shortage of subject matter this outing.

 

So get ready for the jump to light speed (and sound speed while you listen in) as Cole and Eddie co-pilot this chock full of spaceships show!

Hey Kids, Comics! #120 - Occident Express

Set sail for the mysterious continent of Europe with a special new issue of Hey Kids, Comics!  

Okay, so Europe is not THAT mysterious, but you would think it was as relatively little coverage as it gets in comic books!  Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston embark on a journey through the European nations to examine their role in comics, especially that of jolly ol' England.  

Join these "Occidental tourists" by listening in today, no passport required!
