The boys are back with another episode.  As Stephe works through an artistic crisis brought on by Cris Cyborg, the discussion turns to:

I promised a link to Alex Jones Indy Rocker.  HERE IT IS.
Also plugged Stephe's buddy's online store.  HERE THAT IS.
You know what?  For an episode with not notes to work from, this one came out pretty damned good.
 

After a bonus week off so Bruce could get his kids graduated, the boys are back, playing catch up and discussing stuff.
What stuff you may ask?
How about:
garage bands
bland MMA fighters
Hulu's Modok
revisiting stuff we loved from our youth, specifically Real Genius and Fletch
The Negro League Museum
home repair
Stephe's battles with a gopher
Moon Knight
The Eternals
Kyle Kinane
Stephe's daughter tap dancing to RATM
Jim Thompson
All this and more on the latest episode of SlurpToast

The podcast turns 21 and welcomes its newest sponsor, King Fu.
Then the boys talk about a whole slew of topics including:
Elvis impersonators
MMA
Cheaters
Recasting Smokey & the Bandit for the new weed culture
Stephe's misadventures with dial up porn
Umpire Angel Hernandez
Greg Rucka's Lazarus
Invinicible
The Marvel Superhero RPG
Adult Swim
And we end things with another look at what's on Stephe's desk (spoiler alert - its a toy).
It's a lot, but it's well worth your time.

Postponed due to Covid vaccines and called on account of inclement weather, we hit episode 20 with no script and, as usual, almost no clue what we are going to talk about.
It doesn't slow down things as we rush headlong into discussions about
Covid vaccines
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The future of the Netflix MCU
Shang-Chi
Sports radio
Letterbox'd
Nobody
Ong Bak
Action movies in general
Stephe's discovery of the Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn
Mare of Easttown and its similarity to Broadchurch
The Nevers (aka Steampunk X-Men)
And to wrap things up, we play our first ever game of "What's on Stephe's Desk?"  The answers may surprise you.
And we got it all in before the Central Texas weather took Bruce down again.

Episode 19 is in the books and coming at you in that SlurpToast style to which you've become accustomed.
We start out with some work chat and then segue into what are becoming regular segments for us:  baseball and Moon Knight.
After that we touch on whole range of topics including, but not limited to:
Batman (specifically how he lost his money)
The Metal Men
Bruce's colonoscopy
Invincible (the animated series on Prime)
King Kong (76) aka Rape Ape
Kong v. Godzilla
Why comics are still sold as single issues
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The upcoming Loki series
We try to end the show on a classy note with Stephe discussing the book he is currently reading, Wit's End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It.  You're welcome for the plug James Geary.

Has it been two weeks already?
We've got a full slate this week.
The topics we discuss include:
The Snyder Cut
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Moon Knight
Jim Lee in charge of DC creative
Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate
Chumbawumba
Covid-19 vaccines
Fantastic Four Sex Jokes
Marvel Lucha Libre Pops
Funko Soda
Spring Training
Godzilla v. Kong
And our main topic is a discussion of how long television shows should go one.  Stephe's recent first time binge of Community leads us into a discussion of why shows go on long after they are vital, shows that have stayed too long, shows that stayed strong until the end and what the differences can be.
We got really into it so this one goes a little long.

After a technical glitch, the boys jump into the comic book conversation in earnest this week.
The specific focus (if there is such a thing on SlurpToast) is the repeated and frequent continuity reboots of the big two.  Stemming from a conversation Stephe had on another show about DC's Infinite Frontier, the topics tonight include:
Spawn
Moon Knight (duh)
Black Hammer
Batman
The Flash
Squadron Supreme
The Snyder Cut
WandaVision
And, the tax benefits of being Batman
It makes sense.  It really does.
Stephe also asked me to put a link to the WWE History I am currently reading.  The book is titled We Promised You a Great Main Event:  An Unauthorized WWE History and it's a snarky delight.
