The League of Manchildren's League CastThe League Cast #81 - The Return of The MaulerPaul "The Mauler" Lazenby is back for a chat with Stevil. Our host tries to plug everything Paul is involved with (quite a lengthy list!) and the two start talking collectables right off the bat, including getting duped by false advertising.
There's also some deep comic talk, like the emo make over of Lobo and all the esthetic changes happening from the printed page to the big screen or TV screen. The guys get a bit nostalgic about the picture quality of VHS and Paul says he still even owns some! Pure jealousy from Stevil on that!
