Episode 57: Tank Girl Commentary.
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
While Sophia has a history with the character and an affinity for the movie, Colby has no such connection. As such, this episode is mostly spent asking questions of the film's baffling decisions, googling old issues of Cinescape magazine and deep-diving into the animation department's IMDb pages. Also, IMDb sucks now. Come for the movie talk, stay for the endless diversions.

After discussing ECCC (where Colby got to meet 3 Vertigo all-stars, including legend Shelly Bond!!) and sifting through some news of hot takes and remakes, we begin discussing who are the most prolific and important creators that made Vertigo Comics into the iconoclastic, genre-mixing behemoth that it was. Did we miss your favorite? Do you agree with us 100%? Either way, let us know at VertigoVoices@gmail.com!

Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
We discuss the first volume of the DC New 52 Justice League Dark series. It's terrible! After thoroughly picking apart the worst thing we've read on the series, we say some goodbyes. To the few of you who listened, a heartfelt thank you. However, there were very, very few of you. So it's time to pack this noble failure up and move on. Maybe not forever, but at least for now.

With 2021 being Smallville's twentieth anniversary, we look back at the two-part episode that finally took the show in the direction that it probably should've been a few seasons earlier. Season 9's "Legends" and "Society" (Aired together as "Absolute Justice") introduces the Justice Society of America to teen drama of Clark, Lois and Chloe. There's even an appearance or two of well-known Vertigo characters! Watch along and enjoy!

Episode 49: Ranking Every Volume of Sandman!
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
We look through all 10 volumes of Neil Gaiman's Sandman (not counting spin-off's or later volumes) and rank them from worst to best. Although, take this ranking order with a grain of salt because it should be noted that even the "worst" volume of Sandman is still one of the greatest pieces of art ever to be produced. Listen along and then go read this entire series!

Episode 48: V For Vendetta Commentary.

Remember, remember the 5th of November!
Based on Alan Moore and David Lloyd's groundbreaking dystopian comic that was reprinted under the Vertigo banner, this movie has become something of a cult classic and cultural touchstone. How much of that is due to the original comic and how much is a result of this slick adaptation from The Wachowskis and James McTeigue? We certainly don't have the answer. But we do have a lot to discuss about the production design, casting, direction, political significance and how it relates to British comedy. Come and give it a listen to make sure that this 5th of November is surely one that is not to be forgot.
