Episode #32 – Mild-Mannered Mice

14 12 2009

This week, along with the commentary of Mild Mannered (But Not Really) Girlfriend Carolyn, we open debate over David Peterson’s Mouse Guard: Winter 1152; and let’s just say that tiny mouse-befitting swords will clash! Also, we hear the latest intallment of “Sam Bitches a Lot”, Mike talks about his favorite serial killer (Dexter Morgan) and his comic-book like webisodes, and Alex is forced to lock horns with Carolyn in a heated discussion of Marvel Super Hero Squad. There is all this and much more awaiting you listeners this week on the Mild Mannered Podcast!





Episode #31 – In Which We Find Ourselves On A Boat

9 12 2009

This week, we review Kevin Cannon’s “Far Arden,” an epic adventure of love, loss, and angry orphan punches! Plus, the content of our upcoming holiday show is revealed amid copious gift-giving, and we discover Mike’s personal Kryptonite in the wrapping paper! What is the secret of Sam’s supple skin? What’s the deal with David Gallaher’s secret project he told us about in Episode 10? And did we honestly just make an “I’m On A Boat” reference? The answers lie in store for you on the Mild Mannered Podcast!

Listen here, and tell your friends!





Episode #30 – Too Mild Mannered To Be Forgotten

23 11 2009

That’s right, kiddies, it’s our 30th episode bonanza! Though the gang felt under the weather, we perked up in a hurry when we heard that we’d be getting to interview The Man, The Head, and The Legend: Alex Robinson! Yes, the creator of “Box Office Poison” and “Tricked” joined us for the show to divulge his inspirations, discuss his books (the newest of which, “A Kidnapped Santa Claus,” has just been released by Harper Collins), and ever so much more.

Later, we review Robinson’s third book, “Too Cool To Be Forgotten”! The heartwarming story of a boy, some hypnosis, and a fateful cigarette! What’s the opposite of “Sam Bitches A Lot”? Did Mike survive his hell week with all of his cheeriness intact? And just what’s the deal with the Ultimate Alliance 2 downloadable content? The answers to all of these questions–and ever so much more–lie in this double-sized 30th episode of the Mild Mannered Podcast!

Listen here and tell your friends!





Episode #29: Mild Mannered G-Men

15 11 2009

Don’t shoot, G-men, don’t shoot! Ah, it’s okay, we’ll only talk at you for a while. It’s our review of Ande Parks and Eduardo Barreto’s historical fiction graphic novel, Union Station! Mike might have been off having an action-packed theater weekend, but Alex and Sam somehow found the time to gabble on about the FBI, this year’s Lulu Awards, and the recently released Kick-Ass trailer.

Need to hear a little bit more of Sam’s endless bitching about how Mark Millar is a Bad Man? Want to jam out to our fresh (and also “poppin’”) new musical interludes? Just itching to find out what the best and worst new trades are for this week? We can accommodate all of those wishes and more on this weeks’ episode of the Mild Mannered Podcast!
