It is Monday of the long American Memorial Day holiday, which means two things:
- We are hung over, and:
- There is fuck-all going on in the world of comics news.
Sure, there’s the report that Edgar Wright Tweeted and then deleted a picture of Buster Keaton with a Cornetto ice cream cone, with the implication being that Wright sees himself as a version of Keaton, who supposedly always regretted aligning himself with a major studio… but that’s an interpretation and besides, I didn’t see the original Tweet, so what the hell do I know?
And sure, we could report on X-Men: Days of Future Past making something like a third of a billion dollars in worldwide box office this weekend, pretty much guaranteeing that director Bryan Singer will probably be okayed to direct the already greenlit X-Men: Apocalypse sequel if he wants to (and he’s not in jail for some reason, but there’s not a lot of detail beyond that to talk about unless we want to do a bunch of math with the returns from the other X-Men movies, and did we mention that we were hung over?
So instead, we spent the day doing a bunch of research and scut work under the hood in a effort to get our little podcast ready for a bigger audience (if we can trick one into listening, that is). We’ve been doing incremental upgrades of our recording studio equipment over the past couple of months – upgrades that are still ongoing – but we figured we’re in enough of a groove to start exposing to the show to a wider audience.
To start with, that means iTunes, where we will hopefully be available for subscription later on this week. Once we have the details on how to subscribe through that service, we’ll let you know. But in the meantime, you can subscribe to the show directly via our new podcast dedicated RSS feed.
If there’s another service with which you subscribe to podcasts, let us know and we’ll look into it. In the meantime, keep an eye on iTunes for the logo at the top right. *
* Of course, if someone with a graphics design background more extensive than my personal, “I don’t crash Photoshop every time I open it” experience wanted to throw us a freebie logo, I wouldn’t turn it down…
