  • The Best Comic Book Podcast

    The title says it - this is, bar none, the best podcast about comics. Matt and Chris are hilarious, have great guests, and if you don’t want to listen to them rank all comics against each other you’re wrong.

Episode 772 - Lynch's Spawn
Q: If you were to speed run a video game, what game would it be?

Q: What is the main reason in Flash Gordon that everyone is depicted as attractive, and how does this tie into the franchise's DNA?
Dan explains that early Flash Gordon was designed with a strong emphasis on sex appeal, which carried through various adaptations, including the serials and the 1980s movie, and it's a defining DNA of the franchise that influences character designs and presentation.
