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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What starts as a regular session of Our Love/Hate Relationship with Comic Culture quickly mutates into a full-on multiversal glitch when Colin. Freaking. Kaepernick. pops into the screen like an unlockable character. One moment the crew is debating whether he could pull off the Black Panther accent, the next moment he’s actually there—proving Tatt wasn’t hallucinating in 8-bit resolution.
From accidental celebrity cameos to debating which heroes would win in hypothetical MCU smackdowns, Mickey, Tat, Pete, and Tom spiral through Doomsday rumors, Spider-Man trailer conspiracies, Iron Fist redemption arcs, and whether Damson Idris can carry the mantle(s) of T’Challa across universes. Plus: Professor X mind-wipes, Captain Hydra shock value, and the great “Can athletes actually fight?” debate no one asked for.
This episode has surprise guests, surprise opinions, and surprise tech issues. It might be the most comic-book, comic-book podcast episode ever.
Tune in… because even we can’t believe this one happened. 🦾📚🏈
