  • “Alpha Flight, Unite!”

    Chris and Tom handle the difficult journey of this cult comic series with the sense of ironic humor and occasional historic aside that could be more entertaining than the comic itself. Grab an omnibus and read along with this entertaining mix of Marvel Comics, Molson’s Golden, and poutine. This is my comfort podcast for the end time.

    My only gripe would be the theme music, outdated ska instead of the timeless Geddy Lee classic “Take Off”. Shame. JMH must be rolling over I. His graves.
