On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Mike Thompson (co-host of TEN CENT TAKES) wait nervously in line, desperately hoping they are on the VIP list for the grand opening of Warriors. The line is long, so to pass the time they discuss 1994's GUY GARDNER: WARRIOR #29.

This issue is a true celebration of where DC Comics was in the early-90's -- there was nary a (Dark)star in the sky as they were all here at Warriors. Gunfire! Ballistic! Wonder Woman (Artemis)! Lady Blackhawk! Damage! Rocket Red! Loose Cannon! Blue Devil! And so many more!

Plus, Matt fails to explain what the whole deal with Guy Gardner and Dementor was about, while Mike recalls using AOL to log on to DC Comics Online (NERD!).

Also, both Mike and Matt kind of wish that Guy had become DC's version of Rick from CASABLANCA.

As per usual, Nightman is likely mentioned at some point. If not, no worries because Bloodwynd definitely gets mentioned.

Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)

On this episode Matt is joined by his "chromeboys" (tm) Ian Springer (screenwriter of FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS) and David Walton (FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING) to order an almost giant birthday cake and argue about proper birthday party protocol while also discussing 1994's JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #'s 86-88 "Cult of the Machine".

Matt intended to spring a devious trap on Ian and David by making them read this story, but they escaped unscathed and with their dignity intact. Whereas Matt's brain broke. Seriously. Just listen to the episode and you'll hear Matt as a broken man who is reduced to rambling semi-coherently.

Also, Ian talks about how one could weaponize Galactus, while David proves himself as fast on his feet when asked to explain the theology underpinning the Cult of the Machine.

Oh, and Dreamslayer is one sassy villain. That kind of rules!

Please listen and enjoy Ian and David while doing your best to tolerate Matt.

Support Ian by watching FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS (now streaming on Disney+ and available to purchase on DVD/Blu-ray).

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Ian Anderson travel to a dead planet in the butt end of the galaxy in order to talk about 1993's TRANSFORMERS GENERATION 2 #1.

Ian recounts his earliest days on the information superhighway visiting Alt.Toys.Transformers, his love for both Galvatron, why BEAST WARS is still amazing, and how Transformers can be considered "gateway body horror".

While Matt tries to become a more professional podcaster and (mostly) refrains from talking about GOBOTS.

Also, it's a safe bet that Matt mentions Nightman again.
