Clark, creator of Vampire Brat, Kevin Johnson of Strange City Heroes, and legendary comic book inker John Dell. The guys also chat to some of the fans, a few vendors selling off chunks of their own personal collections, and wrap it up with a chat with convention organizer Ronnie Prudhomme.
At the Movies Episode 4: Star Trek
It’s the number one movie in the country, and it’s setting franchise records all over, but the question everyone from Hollywood to the Klingon Empire has been asking is: what do the 2 in 1 Showcase geeks think of the new Star Trek movie? This week you get two reviews in one! First up, Blake, Mike, Kenny and Daniel give you a perspective from the moderate fans of the series. Then, buckle up as Chase flies solo on the hardcore fan’s opinion.
Episode 118: Star Trek
With a major motion picture hitting this week, Blake and Chase got together online to record a look at the past, present, and future of Star Trek. The guys talk about all incarnations of the franchise, their favorite and least favorite episodes and series, the history of Trek in comics, and why Chase is dreading the movie Blake is looking forward to. Come back on Tuesday for our thoughts on the film! In the picks this week, Chase loved Buck Rogers #0 and Blake finally makes his Free Comic Book Day pick, Ressurrection #0. Our graphic novel pick of the week: The Complete Peanuts: 1971 to 1972.

Week in Geek #20: My Follow the Leader
This week, Blake and Chase weep like little girls over the final episode of Scrubs. Then, it’s time to get into the latest episode of Lost, Follow the Leader. (If you want to remain Lost-free, skip from 7:35 to 25:25 on your iPod!) After the Lost chat, the guys talk about the newly-greenlit Deadpool and Wolverine 2, give a few more thoughts about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Blake explains how Amazon.com has broken his heart, just a little.
At the Movies Episode 3: X-Men Origins-Wolverine
After three outings with the team, Hugh Jackman flies solo… unless you count all the other X-Men in this movie. How does it stack up? Take a listen and find out what the Showcase crew thought.
Episode 117: Free Comic Book Day 2009
Geek Christmas comes once again, as the Showcase boys go to Free Comic Book Day 2009! The guys camped out at BSI Comics in Metairie, Louisiana for the day, talking to the fans, handing out free comics, and generally having a blast! In this episode, the guys manage to find time to talk about Blackest Night #0 and this week’s Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #4, they go through a few more of this year’s free samplings, and host the first-ever live Ask Chase Anything Challenge! Listen as fans of all ages try to summon a question Chase can’t answer, hear the one question that succeeded, and witness the beginning of Chase’s potential intellectual property lawsuit when a bad joke goes horribly awry! And if that wasn’t enough, the guys find time to talk to Kurt Amacker, writer of the new Seraphemera Books horror comic Dead Souls! How good is Dead Souls? It’s Alan Moore-approved!

Episode 116.5: Nola Comic-Con 2009 Part One
New Orleans is America’s party town, but can it host a comic convention? This weekend the Showcase boys descended on the 2009 NOLA Comic-Con to find out. Recording from the floor, the guys talk about the show, share stories of comic conventions of the past, and chat about comics in general. Then, before the clock runs out, they sit down for a conversation with the Star Wars collector club, the Red Stick Rebellion. The Red Stick guys are just the first interview on the plate, though — with a three-part convention episode, there’s going to be plenty more to share in part two!
