the 70's Spider Man ... Nicholas Hammond!44 to the fore!

This week on a near mint, bagged and boarded episode … Crank talks about his current T.V. viewing habits while Mike naps, we recap the recent Wizard World Chicago and then try to remember what comics we've read recently.

Music by the the Vladimirs and that wacky 70's Spiderman theme.

San Diego Comic-Con42 … Yep we missed out.

This week  on a completely superficial and shallow episode of the Crankcast …
Devil's Due Publisher, Sam Wells, stops by to tell us what losers we are for missing the big con, we talk a bit about viral marketing and the entertainment industry and why 'Snakes on a Plane' may not be so good. Last, but certainly not least, we read some more listener email.

Music by the Horrorpops and Forbidden Dimension.

This week on a newly air-conditioned 41st episode of the Crankcast …

Big time comic book writer, Sean Mckeever, comes by to get out of the 100 degree weather and talk about going to Six Flags with Mike. Mike, Sean and crank! commiserate about missing San Diego this year and reminisce on conventions past.

Superman Returns40 … I apologize in advance for the audio … between noisy fans and a fussy Skype what can you do?

This week on a 40th episode of the Crankcast that promises the new sports car in the driveway is NOT the sign of a mid-life crisis …. Jenny the Announcer-girl returns with stories of how she spent her summer …
Chris Taber returns as well to give his take on the summer movie season and … well … Superman Returns. That's a lot of returns! Finally Taber & Mike cry about how they could be on their way to a quarter million dollars right now.

Music by Away with the Fairys and Vancefurd.
