  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Longbox Crusade - Episode 057: Iron Man #5 (1998)
Q: Pat, what did you think about Iron Man number five?
Pat describes the issue as a strong return post-Heroes Reborn, noting the mix of action, character drama, and the return to Tony Stark's secret identity dynamics, while appreciating the pacing and the way the story blends personal relationships with superhero stakes.
Transformers Chronicles: The Marvel Years - Episode 073: Transformers #73 (Marvel)
Q: John, what do you think about the Earth part versus Cybertron there?

Indiana Jones and the Comics Crusade - Episode 25: The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #25 (Marvel)
Q: Were you reading the Indy comics at the time, and do you have a history with the Marvel series?
Jamie explains he did not have much history with the 1980s Indy comics at the time and notes that Star Wars eclipsed Indiana Jones for him during that era, though he later read some and followed certain artists and storylines.
Indiana Jones and the Comics Crusade - Episode 25: The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #25 (Marvel)

Jamie describes his lifelong love of the franchise, early drive-in experiences with Raiders and other films, and how those memories shaped his appreciation for the Indy comics and related media.
Comics To Console Crusade - Episode 12: The Punisher (2005)
Q: How does the game capture the essence of the Punisher comic?
