Comic Books and Cold Ones
Comic Books and Cold Ones is where two friends don their alter egos as masters of comic book obscura while drinking whatever they got rolling around the bottom of the fridge. If you ever wanted to know who really is the worst cold based villain in Marvel, DC, and all other ‘verses or what it took to house train Lockjaw from the Inhumans, then quest no further. Get out your favorite 12-point articulating action figure and listen to us ramble through comic history, what we’re reading now, the latest Hollywood takes on it all, beer reviews, and a little Quasar. Yes, even Quasar! Grab a cold one ‘cause you will need it.

2024 World Cup of Beers - Guinness St. Pat's Off, and Irish Mutants
Sláinte or something, you dark beer loving spring drinkers. The boys are ready to rate Emerald Isle beers so you know what you must drink when wearing silly slogan-ed green tees to avoid getting pinched. That’s right, we review all three types of proper Irish black gold: Guinness stout. And after we down a few, we riff on which comics characters are shameless stereotyped Leprechauns. Poor little guys. All they want to do is grant some wishes, keep their pot of gold, and hang in the ‘hood.
