Our Love, Hate Relationship with Comic Culture
Comics raised us. Then they tested us.
Our Love/Hate Relationship with Comic Culture is a weekly, no-holds-barred conversation about Marvel, DC, and the ever-expanding comic universe—through the eyes of people who grew up living the culture, not just consuming it.
Hosted by legendary hip-hop producer Pete Rock, radio and content producer Tat Wza, and hip-hop recording artist Mickey Factz, the show dives into the wins, the misses, and the moments that spark debate. From the pages to the screen, from X-Men to Spider-Man, Hulk to the multiverse, nothing is off limits. If it’s iconic, controversial, or just plain confusing, it’s getting discussed.
This isn’t fandom for clicks—it’s love, criticism, nostalgia, and truth, all in the same conversation. Because when you care about something this much, you don’t just praise it…you challenge it.

Prattman: Chris Pratt Might Be Batman (Help Us All)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pete Rock, Mickey Factz, and Tat Wza skip Peacemaker homework like pros and sprint into the rumor-verse: RDJ vs. Reynolds on set (egos with capes), Deadpool maybe benched for Secret Wars, and “is Cumberbatch clocking out as Strange?” They toast Fantastic Four hitting $500M, daydream an Andrew Garfield comeback (Sony, stop villain solo movies), and pitch a two-part Secret Wars where Doom wins… for a while. Spidey scoops: Jackie Chan on stunts, Florence Pugh + Tramell Tillman join the party. Then it’s Bat-chaos: Chris Pratt as Batman?! Cue Bale nostalgia, McConaughey “alright,” and Gyllenhaal side-eye. Final boss debate: Nicholson vs. Ledger for Joker supremacy. Vote in the comments—and yes, the $2 Peacemaker bet is officially on.
