Earth-2.net: The Show

The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon continues with "Flash Inspects the Kingdom of Caves," "Zarkov to the Rescue," "Promoted to Commander-in-Chief," and "The Battle Begins."

September is here, and so are the Previews.

The lead-up to Earth-2.net: The Show 900 begins here with four episodes of The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon: "On the Planet Mongo," "Battling a Plant and an Earthman," "The Prison Ship," and "Can Zarkov Save Hawk Mens' City."

Hannah and Jim wax poetic about one of their favorite game series: Persona. Games covered include Persona 3: FES, Persona 4, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. There's also rampant speculation about Persona 5.

Racist spies, cartoons, and last-minute changes permeate Mike and Tom's discussion of their favorite shapeshifters, as well as the best and worst disguises in fiction. Wait, who was that again?

Jim and Hannah pop their heads back in to talk comics, video games, books, and more. And yes, the segment is still untitled. We're working on it.

The August Previews go as one would expect, but then someone stops by to make a cameo.

Donovan Morgan Grant traveled down to Comic-Con International: San Diego and had the opportunity to interview the cast and crew of Steven Universe! Coupled together are Zach Callison (voice of Steven) and Ian Jones-Quartey (former Supervising Director), Deedee Magno (voice of Pearl) and Michaela Dietz (voice of Amethyst), and Rebecca Sugar (series creator) and Estelle (voice of Garnet). Learn the inside secrets of the show's thematic compositions, what goes into the making of the songs, and how the actors approach voicing their characters!

Mike actually makes it all the way through a Previews episode without taking a break! The intro, though, that took several tries.

Just as Arrow paved the way for The Flash, the success of The Flash signaled it was time for a show that didn't need to abide by the "no tights, no flights" rule: Supergirl. Donovan Morgan Grant and Chris Johnson return for a thorough discussion of the first season of the latest addition to the Superman Family on screen. Plus: what episode did Donovan leave unfinished? How many times does Chris fail to pronounce Melissa Benoist's last name? And what is the startling secret of Superman's boots?

Nearly one year into fatherhood, Pandy joins Christian for the first completely objective (or not) edition of List and Shout, focusing this time on parents: the good, the bad, and the embarrassing. Who should Pandy aspire to? Which lessons should be adhered to? All these questions answered and more! (Disclaimer: This podcast is in no way pedagogically sound, and should on no account be seen as actual parenting advice.)

The Third Doctor returns! That's all you need to know about this month's Previews episode.

As a follow-up to episode 875, in which Dan and Mike discussed the DC event Zero Hour, today they an hour-long, spoiler-filled chat about the one-shot DC Universe: Rebirth.

With the imminent release of DC Universe: Rebirth, Dan and Mike take a look at another of DC's attempts to clean up their continuity: Zero Hour.

A year ago, Mike tweeted the following: "Prepping for a new segment: Give me a number between 2 and 17,518. Go!" Today we finally see the result of that as he correlates the given numbers to comics in his database. And those books are: 52 #41, Gen13 / Generation X, and 52 #29.

In the first of two in-person List and Shout recordings, Christian joins Pandy and Kelly Wilson to play a variation on the Marry, Do, Kill game over tea and biscuits. Which character do both Kelly and Christian hate but Pandy swoons over? What is the best lesbian couple in all of fiction? And where do gay penguins and hammer humor fit into it?

Hannah and Jim talk about the cons they've attended over the last few years. Cons discussed include ECCC 2015 and 2016, NYCC 2015, C2E2 2015 and 16, and CAKE.

Mike coughs his way through the May Previews.
