iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast
Summary: The iFanboy.com Comic Books Podcast is a weekly talk show discussing the best in current comic book releases. Ron, Conor and Josh will share what they loved and hated about the week's comics. With a deep, sometimes scary knowledge of the depths and intricacies of pop culture and the geek lifestyle, the conversations can spin off in many directions. While comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks are the center of the iFanboy universe, the discussion often covers the video games, movies and TV shows which will capture the fancy of your regular comic book reader. Fun, intelligent, witty and entertaining, the iFanboy crew are just as likely to agree as argue about what's good and what's bad in superhero comics, indie comics, humorous comics, and important graphic novels as well as the creators, writers and artists behind them. We've even occasionally been in the same room as guys like Brian Michael Bendis, Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Jim Lee, Joe Quesada, Steve Dillon, Kevin Smith, Stan Lee and others. It was a big room, but we were in it. This podcast is so good, you don't even need to read comics to enjoy it, but it's a lot better if you do.

Podcasts:
Since there was nothing else of any importance going on in the world this week, Josh Flanagan, Ron Richards, and Conor Kilpatrick figured they might as well talk about some comic books.
Say that our podcast is Electro and… It’ll make sense when you listen. Maybe not, actually. Ron, Josh and Conor are back with some comics that were chosen by us to read, and others that were chosen by people who specifically wanted to punish us. But their vindictive voting cannot stem the tide of a good time talking about comics and rating (rating) things, plus TR Talk. Why hasn’t Ron watched Friday Night Lights?
It’s the first Pick of the Week of 2017 and it’s an extra special extended episode! We kick things off with an edition of “Old Men Read Marvel Comics” with a special focus on the “youngening” of Marvel Comics. If you ever want to hear 3 middle aged jamokes wrestle with aging, then this the podcast for you! We also revisit one of our favorite comics thanks to the patrons.
This is a lively one! It's the first Star Wars Anthology Film and opinions are all over the place (or are they?)! Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is finally here and Conor Kilpatrick, Ron Richards, and Josh Flanagan have a lot to say about the film, the relative success of media blackouts, the uncanny valley, and the new Star Wars-saturated reality that we now live in!
It’s the eleventh (tenth?) annual iFanboy All-Media Year End Round-Up! Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Ron Richards discuss some of what they enjoyed in media in 2016. Movies, television, podcasts, books, music, games, and comics–it’s all here!
Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it’s Talksplode time. As we wind down the year, we thought that the best person to chat with the winner of the Eisner Award for Best Writer, friend of the show Jason Aaron. From the experience of being the bell of the ball at the Eisners for Southern Bastards, to bringing back Doctor Strange on a monthly basis, to laying out four years worth of Thor stories, to working on the most popular licensed comic, Star Wars. Plus insight to the secrets of Jason Aaron such as tales from his childhood and his lifelong dream to write and draw his own comic book about an Elephant who Rolls Tide.
It’s the last Pick of the Week of 2016! But don’t worry, it’s not the last podcast of 2016, we’ve got more to come. But this week? We’ve got velocity, Freddie Mercury and lots more to discuss. Ron gets excited by Kang on Kang action and Josh and Conor can’t believe it. Meanwhile, a purple elephant cracks the meaning of life. Happy Holidays!
Enter The Richards Contingent! It's all about a fart joke, and the place of Annuals in comics. This is what the kids sign up for, right? As we gear up for the holidays, it's a straight up comic talk show. But a little weird. We can't pinpoint why.
It’s back! Thanks to our awesome Patrons, it’s the return of the Booksplode! What’s a Booksplode you might ask? It’s a bi-monthly special edition podcast in which we take a look at a single graphic novel or collected edition, something we really just don’t have time to do on the regular show. This month we are reviewing Image Comics’ The Rattler from writer Jason McNamara and artist Greg Hinkle.
It's a post-Thanksgiving celebration, as Conor and Ron are joined by Ron's sister's dog. Who knows where Josh is. If you hear from him, can you tell him to call us? We're thankful for comics and excited for the holidays despite Josh going missing.
This week dark secrets are revealed, there’s another G.I. Joe deep dive, comics are discussed, and dumb jokes are made… … you know, just like Elvis.
The iFanboy Animation Brain Trust — Conor Kilpatrick and Ryan Haupt — welcome special guest Ron Richards to discuss the latest first DC Classic Original Movie: Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, the first animated film based in the Batman 66 world! Does it recapture the magic of that perfect piece of 60s pop art? Or was it a missed opportunity to wallow in the glory of the Silver Age?
The sun rises again and we picked ourselves up and, once again, found solace and escapism in the comic books that we love. Josh found the right comic book at the right time and Ron is more than happy to talk about it as he works to achieve full jamoke status. Also, we explore Jack Kirby’s secret fetish…
It's the last superhero movie of the year, and one of the most anticipated. Ron Richards is joined by Mike Romo to break down the journey from cocky surgeon to sorcerer supreme in Doctor Strange! Is it all Cumberbatch or is there more to this Inception-esque thriller?
Two Jamokes rock the mics, as Ron takes a sabbatical to experience the theatre. In the meantime, Conor and Josh keep it cool, and have points of agreement and Thor based non-agreement, and points where neither of them understand what happened. But listen, everyone loves Beta Ray Bill. Also, watch out for your beef, people. They’ll go right for it.
