Rabblecast 451 - Preacher, Moogfest, and Misfits!

Have you ever heard of Moogfest? Worry not, because our pal Jimmy gives us a rundown of his recent adventure to Durham, North Carolina as he attended a convention that's touted as the synthesis of music, art, and technology! Jimmy gets to gush about the acts he liked and lets us know what he brought home.

Keeping in the vein of the music world, it was recently announced that the Misfits will be reuniting for two festival shows this September. The classic line-up of Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and Wolfgang Von Frankenstein will take to the stage for the two Riot Fest shows! First it was Guns N' Roses, now the Misfits. 2016 is a year full of surprises.

Also on this episode, we talk about the premiere of Preacher(Vertigo/DC Comics) on AMC. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the pilot or read the comic book. Was it good? Can AMC make lightning strike twice with another comic book inspired show?

Also on this show, the passing of Darwyn Cooke(aged 53), an Eisner Award-winning Canadian comic book writer, artist, cartoonist and animator, known for his work on the comic books Catwoman, DC: The New Frontier, and The Spirit.

Rabblecast 449 - Civil War(s?), Baked Goods, & Music

This week, the guys discuss the recent Marvel movie, Captain America: Civil War! (Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the movie yet.) How does it stack up against Zack Snyder's, Batman v. Superman? All of the action, all of the drama, and all of the actual historical interjections that Doug and Jimmy can throw at the show to derail it.

We also find out what Jimmy's been experimenting with in the kitchen. Doug gives us some band names that probably won't show up on an iTunes search. There is a little something for everyone in this episode.

Rabblecast 448 - Head Injuries and Role Models

The topic of head injures is something that we, as a people, are just beginning to understand a little bit more with the help of medical research. Concussions, once thought just to be part of the game, have been proven to be career and life shortening injuries that take their toll over time. Football, Mixed Martial Arts, and even Pro Wrestling(just to name a few) are taking steps to curtail these kind of injuries.

And then, somehow, we talk about the idea of, role models. The celebrities and athletes that are put on pedestals by their fans. Only to have perceptions change after said celeb/athlete say or do something wrong.

Fans of our "Horrible Events in History" segment, rejoice, as Doug brings us another entry. The Boston Molasses Disaster.
