Absolute DC PodcastDC Movies and MoreThis week Aaron (@AaronSBell) and Ronnie (@Ronbar316) were unable to get together to record a new episode (so their thoughts on the DC signing of Brian Michael Bendis will have to wait until next week), so kick back and listen to an episode they recorded just in case something like this happened. With the Justice League movie coming out next week, what better time for them to talk all things DC Movies? There is a lot of DCU talk, but they also go back and talk all of the older DC movies as well. Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, and...

Then the two of them dive deep into another listener question about character revamps. Which they've liked and which they've been a little iffy on. I know you all may find this difficult to believe, but Aaron may have had a few more dislikes than likes (even though they are all justifiably terrible).Send in your comments, questions, or concerns directly to the show...

Once they finish covering those books, they answer some questions from their super awesome and 100% truthful friend Nick (who also had a terrific idea for a future episode that the boys discuss very briefly).You can tweet any questions, comment, or concerns to the show...

It may or may not have come up, I'm honestly having a hard time remembering. Where does all this Metal talk lead? To a tangent where they talk about the Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow season premieres. There is also some talk about The Wild Storm which will surely infuriate their friends, until Aaron regains his...
