Wait, What?

Summary: Ostensibly about comic books and graphic novels, "Wait, What?" is a podcast in which two friends swap stories, theories, and jokes about all aspects of pop culture...but especially comics. For our early episodes, our theme music is Track 18 from Nine Inch Nails' wonderful ambient album Ghosts, which Trent Reznor graciously made available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. But for some time now, it has been an original composition by our very own Graeme McMillan: this update is overdue!

 Drokk! Episode Four | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:05:04

In episode four, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester make their way through the corresponding volume of Judge Dredd Case The Complegte Case Files, comprising Progs 156 through 207 in the adventures of the U.K. icon. This volume is one half mega-prog--the classic Judge Child story by John Wagner, Ron Smith, Mike McMahon, and Brian Bolland--and one half shorter mini-epics with the aid of co-writer Alan Wagner and Ian Gibson. Is this volume a treatise on determinism and free will, a rehash of old story hooks, or a desperate race to create garishly enjoyable weekly thrills? Maybe we dont need to choose? Join us for more than two full hours as we dig into the most classic year of Dredd yet!
