Cover B Podcast - May 26, 2023 23:44 - 27 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsGraphic Novelties: Cuckoo Oh snap, we've got another Joe Sparrow graphic novel, and this one is quite a bit thicker and meatier than Homunculus, but still in the same sci-fi vein.

Episode 210 - REEL EXTRA: Junji Ito Maniac
Cover B Podcast - May 19, 2023 19:33 - 17 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsIt's weird, it's creepy, it's kind of gross at times - it's very Junji Ito. Early in 2023, Netflix launched a new anime dedicated to the story-telling style you know and love from the horror king himself. Featuring some familiar faces, as well as some stories you may not know, it's a compilation...
Episode 209 - Graphic Novelties: Homunculus
Cover B Podcast - May 12, 2023 19:43 - 14 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsGraphic Novelties: Homunculus There's been a lot of talk about AI lately - some exciting, some scary, some that seems straight out of a science fiction novel. What's so interesting about Homunculus by Joe Sparrow is that it tackles AI head-on, but not in the "what happens when we get overtaken...
Episode 208 - REEL EXTRA: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Cover B Podcast - May 06, 2023 00:08 - 26 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsIn all honesty, Marvel hasn't felt quite on their game lately. The majority of the recent films have felt just okay and a couple even outright disappointed us (looking at you Thor... sigh...). Not this one. An emotional rollercoaster that can absolutley wreck your tear ducts, this one is well ...
Episode 207 - Powered Gaming: Marvel Snap
Cover B Podcast - April 28, 2023 23:42 - 35 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsPowered Gaming: Marvel Snap RIGHT, SO, we took a bit of a break because we MOVED! We weren't totally planning on taking a break, but between the busy-ness of it all, and the lack of internet for multiple weekends in a row, it just sort of worked out that way. ANYWAY, Tee got all wrapped up int...
Episode 206 - Graphic Novelties: The Passageway
Cover B Podcast - April 01, 2023 00:02 - 15 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsGraphic Novelties: The Passageway Beautiful, ethereal, metaphorical - it's not a very long book, and it doesn't say a ton, but the vagueness adds to the eerie strangeness. A new tale in the Bone Orchard mythos from Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, the endless depths of a hole on an island by...
Episode 205 - REEL EXTRA: Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Cover B Podcast - March 18, 2023 18:50 - 29 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsSometimes, a movie that has smaller ambitions gives us a bigger payout, and that's exactly how it feels with Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Rather than trying to build a whole new universe, this movie is telling a straightforward story with a relatively contained cast, and it makes all the difference...
Episode 204 - REEL EXTRA: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
Cover B Podcast - March 10, 2023 22:03 - 18 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsChildren's programming can be really hit or miss; sometimes it leans too crass and silly, sometimes it leans too adult and isn't entirely appealing for kids. Moon Girl, on the other hand, nails the balance perfectly. Beautifully animated, brilliantly acted, and a killer soundtrack, we are anxiou...
Episode 203 - Graphic Novelties: Jenny Finn
Cover B Podcast - March 04, 2023 22:48 - 18 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsGraphic Novelties: Jenny Finn It's Industrial England, heavy topics, and a bunch of fish people. Sure, not something you pick up every day, but this read has that distinct Mignola flavor that brings wide-spanning themes altogether. The story isn't necessarily ground-breaking, but it's a quick,...
Episode 202 - REEL EXTRA: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Cover B Podcast - February 18, 2023 22:08 - 39 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsYou know, it feels really good to be able to come here and talk about a Marvel movie and actually feel really happy with the outcome.

Episode 198 - Graphic Novelties: Chronophage
Cover B Podcast - January 14, 2023 02:13 - 16 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsGraphic Novelties: Chronophage This book, while definitely on the spicier side, is an excellent deviation from the more traditional sci-fi romps we've taken in recent comic titles. It's time travel, it's aliens, it's pocket universes - but also, none of those features feel like they overwhelm ...

Cover B Podcast - December 16, 2022 23:50 - 18 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsSo, this movie came out almost 3 years ago at this point, but because of the dreaded panini, it really fell under the radar for most folks.

Cover B Podcast - November 04, 2022 14:24 - 25 minutes ★★★★★ - 3 ratingsReel Extra: Black Adam I wouldn't say that the rock has brought something hugely new and different to the genre, but I would say he's helped create a super fun, action-packed popcorn movie that's definitely worth seeing on a big screen.
