Hey Everybody,
Exciting stuff upcoming on the Podcast. First and Foremost, we've undergone a name change. Movies That Marvel is now The Cosmic Geppetto Podcast!
Why? Well, the plan was to use Marvel Movies and Comic Book Movies as the basis for the Podcast with the option to talk about other stuff. It was observed we were talking about other stuff more and more. It was causing agitate with guests who worried they couldn't come on if they didn't know the in's and out's of Superman 4: Quest for Peace.
Don't worry, Comic Book Movies will always be part of the show, but as a general interest Pop Culture Podcast, we're free to talk about other cool stuff and not feel bad about it.
Check out our latest episode for more about the name change and other cool stuff coming your way.

We have two (TWO!) guests for the new episode of Movies That Marvel.
Author Tim Burdick joins us from the Czech Republic to discuss the Hulk film journey.
Shawn Reynolds returns. We discuss Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Ryan Adam’s cover version of that album. Because a couple guys in their forties talking about Taylor Swift isn’t creepy at all.
Tim’s website is www.TimBurdick.com.

Episode 3! And they said we'd never make it.
Listen to me drive to and from seeing Deadpool, the #1 Movie in America (I can't believe it either).
Splitting up the drive is my conversation with Shawn Reynolds discussing the album Wild Stab by The I Don't Cares, the new band comprised of Paul Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield.

On the new episode of Movies That Marvel, Brad reunites with his college radio partner Jarf to talk about:
1) Iron Man and how they loved it.
2) Robert Downey Jr and how awesome his is.
3) Jeff Bridges, who is also awesome.
4) Batman V. Superman. They’re not sure if that will be awesome.
5) How Wonder Woman deserves better.
6) Back to awesome things, Stephen Malkmus’ song The Hook.
7) The good old days at Lock Haven.
8) How JK Simmons can and will do anything, including Major Lazer
The episode runs a little long (just under an hour), but that means there is more for you to love.

Hi Everybody, So…I talked about maybe doing a Podcast. The idea took a life of its own. I am hoping to get this first episode on iTunes shortly. Enjoy!
