iFanboy - Comic Books
The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they...

Eventually, Josh makes a bold, entitled statement about a connection between G.I. Joe and This is Spinal Tap, and he gets it mixed up. The management would like to apologize for his ineptitude and disciplinary steps have been initiated. That had nothing to do with what was otherwise a perfectly fine episode of this program. They talk about comics. Again.
