Magic JMS ,

So. Much. Content.

Thanks to the pandemic I have been consuming podcasts at an alarming rate, frequently running out of content. So as both a comics fan of forty (!?) years and a diehard MCU-lover, this podcast has been a revelation. Every episode is a 3-4 hour extravaganza. Rob is knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent centerpiece as he walks us through comics history and connections to the movies. Will plays the straight man (though I could do with fewer videogame stories, please). And they are both delightfully British through and through.

I’ve just joined the Patreon, where they have a gabillion bonus episodes as well. Yay!

Love It!!!

Awesome show. But it keeps unsubscribing me for some reason…?

Edit: Been a month since I last heard an episode. Got unsubscribed again. What gives????

Mr. Geoff50 ,
