  • Celluloid Heroes

    Celluloid Heroes on the Longbox Crusade is my new favorite podcast. I love the look back at 70s and 80s movies, but really enjoy the host’s ongoing story about what those movies meant to him and a whole generation of kids. The personal touch is what separates this podcast from so many other movie podcasts.

  • You’ll Believe a Megatron can Fly!

    The Marvel run of the Transformers comic books series gets the LBC treatment, with honest takes on the classic series from longtime fans and relative newbies alike. The enthusiasm is strong, even during issues that may be “less loved” than others, and the conversations are always fun and as refreshing as pure energon :)

  • Comic shop talk perfected

    Love if Transformers, G. I. Joe, New Warriors and more. These guys talk about any and everything remotely related to the topic at hand and I love it. Plenty of ear worms and ridiculous running jokes from a group of friends with a noble purpose of reading comics.

Q: Were you reading the Indy comics at the time, and do you have a history with the Marvel series?
