Cape Town Community Podcast - Ep. 001 - Pilot

After months of discussing, planning, and a week of not sleeping well, the first episode of the Cape Town Community Podcast is here!

This blog has been a real blast for me to put together on an (almost) daily basis, but the work Jerry and I have done on the podcast has been a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy listening to our comic book discussion and enjoy listening to our views on the comic book news of the week.

The show is embedded below and will be available for subscription shortly on iTunes and Zune. Each episode will labeled "podcast" so you can link to previous episodes here on the blog. Refer to the Show Notes after the jump as well as a direct link to download the MP3.




Show Notes:
January 23, 2011
Don and Jerry introduce themselves and then describe the show to the listeners.

Cape Town Comic Discussion
00:02:54 Supergirl #60: We both thought this was a strong opener to Nick Spencer/James Peaty-penned story. We both approved of Bernard Chang’s fantastic pencils.
00:12:05 The Amazing Spider-Man: We felt this arc is off to a stronger start than the first. We could not say enough about Stefano Caselli’s artwork (especially in the climax of the book).
00:19:47 Superior #4: We are both surprised to be enjoying both the art and writing of this Mark Millar/Leinil Yu title.
00:29:38 Memoir #1: Neither of us were big on the first issue of this six issue mini. Wonderful cover by Cassaday though.
00:34:12 Power Girl: Jerry proclaimed that Power Girl is his favorite “Super” book. Don loves the coloring by Sunny Gho.
00:42:35 Morning Glories #6: Don has been a huge fan of this book, but felt the last story of the current arc fell a little flat.
00:46:21 Invincible Iron Man #500: Don enjoyed the book. Jerry was a bit bored. Both had fun with an elderly Mandarin bedding (at least) five chicks.
00:50:45 Superman/Batman #80: Both of us got a kick out of the silliness of this issue—Don hopes this is not Roberson’s typical writing style.

Cape Town News Discussion
00:55:40 Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises: We both are happy with the casting choices and Don ribs Jerry on his movie tastes.
00:58:57 Comics Code Authority Seal of Approval: We ponder a world without the valued Comics Code Authority.
1:02:57 Black Panther movie announcement: We both seemed excited for a Black Panther movies (but only momentarily).
1:06:30 Marvel decides to publish Fantastic Four #587 a day early: Don thinks the current run on Fantastic Four is fantastic. Jerry has a few thoughts on this.
1:09:25 Comic Movie Photos: We both have some opinions for the fanboys who are so quick to judge the onslaught of comic book movie photos released over the past week.
1:15:40 Closing Comments.
