  • I love the podcast but I have to be honest. The audio level issues and how every episode has the vocals going from quiet to LOUD and back and forth the entire time, drives me nuts. Also, I love these guys but when a podcaster says "you know" ALL the time during conversations and interviews, it also drives me crazy. I know it's not on purpose but I have to be honest and hopefully over time he learns to not say "you know" all the time and gets the audio figured out. When that happens, itl get a 5

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

J.M. DeMatteis Interview – Spidey ’94 Chat, Hero Squared, Working With Keith Giffen, John Lennon Concert Memories!
Q: What was it like collaborating with Keith Giffen over decades?
We had a mind-melt kind of collaboration where the plot and dialogue evolved in tandem; the process was about reacting to each other's instincts and keeping the work alive with fresh ideas.
J.M. DeMatteis Interview – Spidey ’94 Chat, Hero Squared, Working With Keith Giffen, John Lennon Concert Memories!
Q: How did you manage humor and genuine superhero drama in Justice League International and its spin-offs?
Keith Giffen and I developed a natural rhythm where he provided plots and I crafted dialogue that grounded the characters. The humor came from down-to-earth interactions, while the plots allowed for melodrama to breathe.
J.M. DeMatteis Interview – Spidey ’94 Chat, Hero Squared, Working With Keith Giffen, John Lennon Concert Memories!
Q: What went into Spidey 94, and did you have to revisit the animated series to write it?
I wasn't deeply familiar with the original show, so my editor, who was, guided the direction. I watched Spidey 94 to capture the feel, but I approached it as a balance between animation-inspired tone and comic book storytelling.
Nicholas Morton – The Crusader Storm!
Q: What went wrong in the Second Crusade and why did it fail so spectacularly?
The discussion emphasizes misaligned expectations, the Turks' effective mountain warfare, and the Crusaders' internal disunity and poor strategic choices, including failures to adapt to Turkish tactics and the challenges of coordinating multiple armies.
Nicholas Morton – The Mongol Storm, Deep Crusader Chat! Including Assassins & Templars!
Q: Why do you think medieval Middle Eastern history remains so relevant or compelling today?
He argues that the era reveals universal themes—power, religion, commerce, and cultural exchange—and that modern media often grapples with these complexities, making it ripe for adaptation and deeper study.
