  • Incredible and Heartfelt Podcast for Anyone interested in Comics and Media!

    Man, can’t praise this show highly enough!

    The Bookclub Bois and all their guests are very down to earth and genuine, but also *incredibly* funny and witty. They bring an insightful analysis to the stories and characters they cover, and the creatives involved In their creation. You can truly tell they love this sphere of Storytelling. They’re incredibly responsive to their community and are willing to talk about a wide sphere of stories coming out, and not just the Big 2 publishers.

  • SPLAINERS gonna SPLAIN

    To Aeric and the Geekspained Posse,

    5 STARS 5 STARS 5 STARS 5 STARS!!!!!

    First, thank you for getting me through the high, the low times, and everything in between. It has been a godsend of song and dance, hot takes, and humor. I stumbled upon this podcast and listened to Aeric give a pitch (what up pitches?)

    I quickly listened to Aeric and Matt Draper discuss their favorite DD stories (part 1), Top 7 Crime Stories, Cap stories, and Miles stories. All of these were very well thought out and ... more

  • Great Book Club!

    Revisiting runs I loved in high school. The guys know their stuff. Maybe definitely walk on egg shells if you’re a guest but I’m finally starting to understand who the “put a chick in it and make her gay” writing is for (generational misunderstanding)

YEAR OF THE BAT Part Twenty-Five: I AM SUICIDE (Batman Rebirth 9-15)
Q: What is your interpretation of Batman's core conflict in this arc?
The speakers discuss Batman as a living embodiment of Bruce Wayne's trauma and self-perception, arguing that Batman represents a coping mechanism that has evolved into a separate identity, with the relationship to Catwoman highlighting the tension between protection and mutual self-medication.
YEAR OF THE BAT Part Thirteen: The Big Burn (B&R 24-28)
Q: Which Nightwing costumes are your favorites and why do you think the look matters for the character's identity?
The group offers enthusiastic opinions on various designs—Disco Wing, modern redesigns, and classic Nightwing looks—arguing that costume design reinforces era, mood, and alignment with other Robins.
YEAR OF THE BAT Part Thirteen: The Big Burn (B&R 24-28)
Q: What do you think about the ethical implications of retconning a major character's backstory in the middle of a long-running arc?
The hosts acknowledge it can refresh a stagnant character, but also note it can alienate readers if done too abruptly; they debate whether this retcon serves the story or undermines established canon.
