While the boys are out and about doing other stuff. Please, enjoy this excellect throwback of The Greatest Pod where we talk about The Greatest Immortal. This is where this episode starts but Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill quickly find themselves discussing what their individual goals would be if they could not die. Sure, there’s some talk about Galactus, The Highlander, demons, vampires like Lestat, and such but the episode is very much a Rorschach test. Fantasies we’ve never told anyone bubble to the surface and questions abound. Does morality remain a part of your life FOREVER if you know you’ll never actually “meet your maker”? Anybody can be a good person for 70 years, what about a thousand? Conversely, is it possible, even probable, that you’d become a great person on a long enough timeline? With all that time to work on yourself couldn’t you become anything you wanted? Why or why not? What would your goals be and how would that change over time? This ep is basically our interrogation of the concept of belief systems through a pop culture lens. Yeah, we’re deep. Dive in!

Sorry for our absence. We have been working on a few projects and owe you all a bunch of episodes. For now enjoy a blast from the past and listen to Dani Fernandez tell you of the Greatest Saiyan Prince, Vegeta!

“Is Fantasy The Greatest Genre?” From ancient legends, to Tolkien, to now the genre has split and subdivided over and over until it’s a new species from what crawled out of the primordial myth soup. Is the simple tale of “the boy who would be king” old hat in the age of the female driven “romantasy?” Is Tolkien still the best to ever do it? Are the present fantasy authors playing a way different, and less artistic, game than Tolkien? Is fantasy in a medieval state of arrested development? Why do so many new fantasy books lean so hard on…hard ons. All will be discussed in this blunt, hilarious examination of Ron’s favorite (and Ed’s least favorite) genre.

Our first ep back after hiatus is titled “Our Greatest Moments in Fandom”. It’s the whole gang of Ed, Ron and Producer Bill, breaking down the moments, movies, and magazines that turned us into such nerds. This is almost Patreon-esque in how personal we get. However, the vast array of pop ephemera that we talk about here will surely cause you to take your own trips down memory lane. It’s good to be back. New eps every Monday. Labor Day didn’t count! Bye!

We ask, “Will Fantastic Four or Superman be The Greatest?”, in the box office and pop-cultural battle that looms this summer. They both herald a back to basics approach in a market where people have convinced themselves there’s no more places to go. Leave it up to two originals to prove them wrong…maybe. After all, these characters are as retro as they are forward thinking, as wholesome as they are powerful. Is this what the people want? Hell is this approach actually PERFECT for these fractured times? Listen and find out!!!

In this supersized spoiler chat, we debate whether the one two punch of Thunderbolts* and Daredevil : Born Again represents “Marvel’s Greatest Comeback.” Ed and Producer Bill ask, can these street level heroes and super spies cement the new foundation for the Fantastic Doomsdays to come? Is Daredevil great, wildly uneven, or both? Are the Thunderbolts* really able to replace the Avengers? Listen to us try to figure it out babay!!

The Reboot Crew is back! After a 4 year hiatus, the internet's favorite development team has landed a new gig with one of Hollywood's most controversial figures: David Zaslav. Their first assignment: a whole new take on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith....and ONLY Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! With Episodes 1, 2, and 4-9 staying intact, the Reboot it Crew will have to work within the tightest constraints they've ever had. We all know Anakin Skywalker will turn into Darth Vader, but how we get there is about to look a whole lot different!
