Episode 14: Turns Out I'm the Choir

Chad Smalley & Brendan Jones — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Today we bring you a thorough rundown of James Gunn's new DCU slate, recorded several hours after his announcement on Tuesday, January 31st. Some of it we're very excited about, some of it has us a bit befuddled. All we know is it's all very James Gunn, and we can't wait to see how it all shakes out.

Oh, and towards the end we somehow wind up arguing about the origin of Composite Superman. Never a dull moment on P-Saps!

Episode 12: Hurray, Hurray Sweethaven

Chad Smalley & Brendan Jones — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 12:00:00 -0500

This week on P-Saps No. 12:

Speculation about how the FANTASTIC FOUR will be introduced to the MCU
Why Robert Altman's "POPEYE" is one of the greatest adaptations of comics to film ever made.
Much love for the brilliant HARRY NILSSON, who wrote the songs for POPEYE and did a ton of amazing, legendary stuff before that.

ALSO: New Quantumania trailer and Paul McCartney's collaboration with Elvis Costello.
