    Since returning to the world of comics after a long hiatus, I now get to see my child experience all these characters for the first time. However, I realized that I was way behind on the storylines and who's who. Not anymore! It feels like I have a university's worth of information right at my fingertips. Jason and Ashley make the perfect duo; they must never sleep with the amount of research they bring to the show. Keep up the great work, and we'll keep listening!

    Geek History Lesson is the podcast that got me into listening to podcasts. I found the show initially on YouTube, but at that time there was limited back episodes uploaded. So I migrated over to iTunes to catch up on every episode.

    The hosts Ashley and Jason have lots of enthusiasm and energy, which translates into fun banter. Whether you are new to a character or consider yourself an authority, if you like Comics, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy, Geek History Lesson is a must listen podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Action Spies MEGA EPISODE (Mission Impossible, James Bond 007, Is James Bond Still Relevant)
Q: Is a Cold War hero, inspired by a Second World War character archetype, the person that modern filmmakers should be positioning as a hero?
It's difficult because I think the Cold War is a fascinating era of history and how the world powers were on the precipice of nuclear war, which leans into the narrative of the Bond franchise. But we are now 30 years removed from the Cold War, so it might be hard to maintain relevance.
Why Daredevil & Spider-Man Need an MCU Team-Up Movie (Daredevil: Born Again) with Erik Barnes
Q: Why do you think Daredevil and Spider-Man's friendship work so well in the comic books?
They have a great dynamic in terms of one is light, one is dark. It's essentially an older brother, younger brother type relationship.
Does it Matter Who Wears the Mask Captain America with Jonathan London
Q: Why do you think audiences care so much about who inherits a mantle like Captain America or even Batman?
Audiences care because there’s a balance between familiarity and the need for engagement in storytelling through surprising twists.
Should All Comics be All-Ages?
Q: Do we need more all-ages comics?
Yes, more all-ages comics are essential for attracting younger readers and building a lasting audience.
Godzilla 70th Anniversary Retrospective (Fanbase Feature Crossover)
Q: What does Godzilla symbolize in terms of nuclear warfare from a Japanese perspective?
Godzilla symbolizes the devastation and moral consequences of nuclear weapons and their impact on human society.
