Monster & Wine: Episode 98 - We Still Function!

Due to some internet issues for both M&W, this is the first episode in a couple of weeks. The duo recount their 1st world tales of woe and why the online world eluded them. Monster updates his thoughts on American Horror Story, as well as gives his reviews for, "Star Trek: Beyond" and "Jason Bourne." Wine reviews the FX drama, "Atlanta" and Monster talks about ABC's, "Designated Survivor." He also talks about Netflix's, "Luke Cage," gives a quick review for Green Day's new album, "Revolution Radio," and the two talk soccer, fueled by the new EA game, "FIFA 17." See folks, the duo falling behind turns into a benefit for you!

Did you know that it's been 20 years since Jon Benet Ramsey was murdered? Well yeah, it has been, and CBS is making sure to capitalize on it.

CBMFP 252: Mellow Your Sweetness

There's so little news this week that it's not even worth teasing. We didn't acknowledge Batman day either because it's stupid. We did talk about "Tactical Batman" and Jim Gordan's reveal in Justice League the movie. Also, the Superhero Beat Down featuring two Valiant characters has us excited. Probably the only real news is Sonny Liew breaking down how much it costs to make a comic and live off of grants which is pretty damn interesting. Books reviewed on this episode:

• Revolution #1
• Daybreak
• The Underwater Welder
• Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook

Monster & Wine: Episode 96 - Business As Usual

Monster & Wine: Episode 95 - Easy Rider

It's Monster's last episode coming to you from LA, but fear not, the show will stay the course per usual, albeit the audio won't shine quite as hard. The duo discuss a dining experience at a restaurant called, "Grill 'Em All," located in Alhambra, California. This segment contains a lot of gushing. Also, Monster gives a quick review for the Carl's Jr., Bacon Three Way burger, which was mentioned a few episodes back. The meat and potatoes of this week's episode, however, is in regards to super famous musicians and the contents of their riders. Some are divas, some are tame, and some are a wee bit surprising. Join us, won't you?

CMBPF 251: Hot Cherry Coke

They recount the journey and spoiler-alert, Monster has TV-envy.

A few news stories are thrown in the mix just for the heck of it!

Now if you're done being gross, we have comics to talk about. Stan Lee finally tells us who he thought was a terrible, horrible, no good casting for one of his characters, followed by Squirrel Girl getting her own TV show called New Warriors. Not to be outdone, DC announced a Black Lighting TV show in the works! Marvel also announces a bunch of fucking monster books that are sure to sell well in October and is the direct market for comics broken and in need of some blowing up?

Monster & Wine: Episode 93 - Is This Fast Food?

How long should one wait for a sandwich to be place in front of them? M&W try and get to the heart of this matter. Wine talks about the "Animal Kingdom," the show, not the actual animal kingdom. Monster raves about the Amazon studios exclusive, "Jean Claude Van Johnson," and gives a quick review for the Daniel Radcliffe film, "Imperium." The two discuss staying active as they get older. The news of a face eating 19 year old and the story of an artist, choosing to take her own life in a grandiose way, are discussed as well.

Moving over to some Spider-Man world news including the casting of MJ, though we saw no controversy with it and completely missed the fact that of course, the internet was shitting their pants over it.  Runaways the TV show heading to Hulu of all places and some video game news about the next Metal Gear game... it sounds pleasant.

Monster & Wine: Episode 91 - The Highs And Lows

Nothing toys with your emotions quite like the Olympics and the dynamic duo are certainly feeling the hurt after the USWNT were eliminated by Sweden in soccer. Wine may be in shock but she still reflects fondly on the USA's achievements in other events while Monster goes on a mini-rant about the hypocrisy in the media. He also gives a snack review for Oreo's new limited edition, "Swedish Fish" flavor. Funkadelic! Deep Fried Twinkies are now a thing in your local Wal-Mart's freezer section. Monster takes Wine on a trip down pop-punk memory lane, thanks to the release of Green Day's new single, "Bang Bang." Join us, won't you?
