Superhuman Registration Podcast

Je Suis Henri Caville

After a couple of wild events, we get back to a sense of normalcy... as far as that gets us in the Marvel universe. Today’s episode features Marvel samurai in 5 Ronin, a fearsome deicidal monster in Thor: God Butcher, and a surprise appearance by France’s own Le Super Homme.

Making an Asimov of Yourself

Your favorite armchair comics critics are completely overwhelmed by the scope and magnitude of Marvel’s X-Men storytelling... and that’s before they get to House of X and Powers of X. The mega mutant event of 2019 is here in the timeliest review ever in Superhuman Registration Podcast History.

I’m Going For 100% Completion

It’s been two years... No, not the Coronavirus crisis (although it certainly feels like it), but the Superhuman Registration Podcast! We celebrate by chatting a bit about some great comfort reads, and, for the main event... Secret Wars 1984! Don’t miss it!

Everybody’s under lockdown, but we’ve all still got steady access to our comics. So on with the podcast!

While reading Daredevil: Man Without Fear and Spider-Man: Life Story, Stephen finds himself struggling with the concept of his own mortality. Meanwhile, Aldo discusses his new normal (it involves Oreos and The White Stripes) and John forgets how books work.

While I Was Awake, I Was Cursing Stephen

Aldo, Stephen, and John mine the deep history of comics writers for a few high-profile women’s writers. First up to bat is Nnedi Okorafor and her much-anticipated Shuri series. Following that, Stephen persuades the team to read Ann Nocenti’s Longshot - with mixed results.

A Racist Hard Place

Whew, boy! We felt out of our depth with this one, but we did our best. You can’t be punished for good intentions, right? Right?

*cough*

Truth is, we liked Truth: Red White and Black. And Big Hero 6 was also... well, we read that one, too.

We’re Gonna Call You Pregnancy Pants

It’s one of THOSE episodes... Technically, we talk about Spider-Island and the 2018 return of the Fantastic Four, but we ALSO get into John’s Wiki-quoting failures and Aldo’s weird anime worship.

Be sure to share your vote on who the biggest buzzkill is!

Fill-in Issue: Brian Michel Bendis

With spouses getting sick, John steps up to the mic to soliloquize one of the most prominent writers in the game, Brian Michael Bendis!

If You’re a Dropout You Don’t Have to Flex

Content warning: sexual assault.

Yeah, it’s one of those episodes. But what do you expect when The Purple Man is in town? This episode, we cover Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter.

Also, a discussion of the New Mutants’ Demon Bear Saga leads to some uncomfortable conversations, like how to pronounce “Saoirse.”

My Future Wife, Gina Carano

The usual tangents emerge - Aldo talks about Naruto, Stephen thinks the movie you liked sucks, and John describes some Hulu thing nobody’s seen. Amidst all that, we find time to review both Howard the Duck and The Unbelievable Gwenpool. Check it out!
