    Thanks for the trip(s) back in time.

    Was James Cameron in third place for mentions in Wizard behind Rob & Todd during their heyday? 🤔

  • Awesome!

    Randomly discovered this podcast while searching for back issues online of ‘Wizard’ magazine that I’m currently collecting! So this is a pleasant surprise and a fantastic idea; the magazine gave me hours of entertainment that I fondly recall decades later and this podcast recaptures all that by being a podcast guide to the comic guide. Well done, all involved, I’m a fan!

    I used to read Wizard cover to cover every month. I had a lot of fun reading the magazine. And when I listen to this show it takes me back to those fun times. Hearing all the behind the scenes action and shenanigans from the actual employees makes this show a must listen. Thanks guys!
