The Jedicole Universe

Hey Kids, Comics! #108 - HKC! Team-Up #5: Teen Titans

Welcome to another fine HKC! Team-Up!  

Yet again Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston explore the history, characters, and other aspects of a comic book super-hero team.  This time they have set their sights on DC Comics' band of young guns, the Teen Titans!

As always, an hour is never enough time to touch on everything they seek to discuss, but they did their best with this Titan-ic topic!  Give it a listen, won't you?

Do It Yourself - Godzilla

Is it "Go, go Godzilla!" or "No, NO Godzilla!", that is the question this time with Do It Yourself.

VegaBomber and Joose are back at it with a whole now makeover of a popular movie.  How did they spruce up and repair 2014's epic American-made kaiju film, Godzilla?  While amazing, this movie did need work.  And your intrepid hosts are happy to step up and do the job.

The Rantcor Pit #23 - Obi-Wan Was a Damn Liar!

The Rantcor Pit is back, if a couple of days late.  But we blame it on Obi-Wan.

 

At least from a certain point of view, that is.  This episode calls Obi-Wan Kenobi to task on his constant deceits and falsehoods.  From his initial appearance in A New Hope to his last retrofitted history in Revenge of the Sith, Ben Kenobi is shown to be not just a "crazy old wizard", but a bald faced liar!

 

Join Cole Houston and Eddie Medina as they try to find the truth about Obi-Wan's lies.

Hey Kids, Comics! #107 - Comiconomy

When super-heroes are a reality and the Earth becomes a crossroads of the cosmos (as well as every dimension outside our own) what happens to the basics of economics?  With super-technology and unbelievable potential for disasters natural and man-made, it simply can't be business as usual!

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston open the books on these and other questions about the economy of a world in which the impossible becomes possible.  From the jobs lost and those created to the costs of being a super-hero when it comes down to dollars.  Cash in on a great new issue of the show today! 

Hey Kids, Comics! #106 - Masters of Kung-Fu

Martial arts have long been a significant part of comics.  From obvious titles Master of Kung-Fu to characters like the Outsiders' Katana, nearly every imaginable fighting style and discipline has been utilized.  

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston enter the virtual Octagon for a mixed martial arts extravaganza comic book style.  Their special guest Master Bobby Blakey adds his expertise on the conversation.

Do It Yourself - Man of Steel

Vegabomber and Joose are back again with another fixer-upper look at one of their favorite movies.  A favorite, but one that needed some work none the less.

This time your hosts set their sights on Zach Snyder's Man of Steel.  Find out how they would have made this latest take on the legend of Superman a much better film.  Wherever it went wrong, they set out to make it right!

Whadjathink? - Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Turn down any back alley in Sin City and you might just be asked, "Whadjathink?" by some strange and menacing character.  Or maybe you have just tuned in the spoiler-rich movie discussion show of The JediCole Universe after all!

Catherine "Mrs. JediCole" Houston and Bobby Blakey take to the mean streets to discuss Sin City a Dame to Kill For.  But they are not going it alone.  Hey Kids, Comics! co-hosts (and cohorts) Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston get in on this wild ride as well for their last comic book movie appearance of the summer.

Did the Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller film noir epic find favor in their eyes?  Well you will just have to find out for yourself.  But be warned!  They tell all so there are spoilers a-plenty ahead.

SPOILER ALERT!

The Rantcor Pit #22 - Responsible Parties

Welcome back to The Rantcor Pit!

 

This time Cole Houston and Eddie Medina bring you a lively discussion on the writers and directors of the Star Wars Saga!  While very much George Lucas' brainchild, Star Wars and all of the films that followed were collaborative efforts.  And after the first outing it seems that Lucas had the foresight to bring in others to both co-write the screenplays and to take on the awesome responsibilities of directing the films.  

 

At least until the prequels...

Hey Kids, Comics! #105 - Challenge of the Super-Fails: Toy No Fair

In addition to discussing the worst comic book-based toys ever produced, Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston also take on the worst comic books ever based on toys!   Truly there is something for every taste if your tastes run to bad ideas when it comes to toys.

Hey Kids, Comics! #104 - Challenge of the Super-Fails: Defective Comics
