EPISODE 353 - The Milksops continue their coverage of the Hellboy universe with their first big look at the spin-off series "B.P.R.D." We start with trade paper back volume 6, which is the arc called "The Universal Machine." "B.P.R.D." stands for Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, which was Hellboy's employer until he quit at the end of his "Conqueror Worm" story. Now we see the gang without Hellboy. As Kevin says, the Hellboy stories feel like movies, and B.P.R.D. is like a television show. Although there is a plot which evolves, it feels more episodic. And although the stakes are as high as possible (destruction of all humanity seems perpetually JUST ABOUT TO HAPPEN) - the tone feels lighter, too. We learn a lot about Abe Sapien, Johann Krauss, and other members of the Bureau. We see the story get handed off from universe creator Mike Mignolia to John Arcudy and Guy Davis and others. Loose Screws: Kevin talks about Shrinking and other shows he watched, and Will discusses how he established his Canadian citizenship.  ------------------- Email us at [email protected] Subscribe for bonus episodes and to support the show at screwitpodcasts.com

EPISODE 342 - We begin a new season, this time going over Hellboy comics. We start at the beginning, with Hellboy issue 1, or the beginning of the "Seed of Destruction" arc.  Hellboy is the creation of writer/artist Mike Mignola, who had been a regular artist for Marvel and DC. Then he started Hellboy for Dark Horse Comics in 1994, and true to the publisher's name -- it was a surprise runaway hit! We discuss how Mignola was a surprise artist to have a runaway success with a creator owned title. We talk about how superstar artist/writer John Byrne scripted these first few issues. We talk about the Hellboy movies (they look good, but are usually not too great!). And of course we talk about Mignola's amazing art. Loose Screws: Will talks David Harper's podcast Off Panel and Kevin discusses the new season of Fallout. Don't forget to participate in the Official Screwit Instapush #screwitinstapush!

EPISODE 340 - We take a look at the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It came out in 1990 and was a runaway smash hit.  Will is watching it for the first time. Kevin saw it when it came out, but maybe not since. How does it hold up? Listen and find out! No Loose Screws this week!

EPISODE 339 - We take a look at the show that brought huge fame for the Turtle -- the original Saturday morning TV show.  Although primarily made as a way to promote the new toy line, the creators of this TV show also wanted it to be good. So there was a lot of thought put into this show. They took a lot of visual designs from the comic, but simplified the story considerable. They added new characters (Rocksteady and BeBop), half-new characters (Krang the talking brain) and gave April a more specific consistent personality.  We look at the first five episodes, which is the entire first season and which tell a single story.  The story gets complicated, but it's fun and thoughtful and... pretty darn good.  Hey, maybe these Turtles are gonna be around for a while. In Loose Screws, we talk about the new season of Stranger Things. Next week we go over the first TMNT live action movie! ------------ Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com to support the show and to get monthly bonus episodes.
