Geekdown Podcast

One last hang with your new BFFs before we take off for summer break, and we go out with a pair of heavy hitters: Tokyo Tarareba Girls, the latest project from the woman who gave us Princess Jellyfish, and the celebrated take on Jack Kirby's New God, 2017's Mister Miracle from Tom King and Mitch Gerads. How'd those go over? Surprisingly. You'll have to listen to find out why. Also this ep! One last round of Star Wars stupidity to send us off, a breezy round of chit chat and updates to what we've been enjoying this week, including Megalo Box, Doomsday Clock and the work of Sue Grafton.

The summer lazies are starting to settle in, so it's kind of a meandering wander through an episode of the Geekdown this week through 80s toy lines, the continuing stupidity of Star Wars fans, the squandering of creative freedom and so much more before settling into a chat about the 2014 animated film The Book of Life and the 2016 anime Mob Psycho 100.

It's the tension that fuels this podcast more often than not: can impressionistic, episodic narratives work as effectively as straightforward tales with rising action and climax?
