The Old Man Wade Show
Incoherently clear and happy in our hypocrisy. This is the Old Man Wade Show. A podcast about comic book-related topics with (sometimes) unbiased opinions.
Episodes
Sharmane Fury joins Old Man Wade to discuss a spoiler-filled episode of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. Among the topics are how the characters used common sense in a magical world, the antagonist wasn’t a racist white guy, and so much more. Also, remember the phrase “It’s half a kink shame.”
Old Man Wade and Supa Woke Javi talk about their favorite comic book of the year, The Power Fantasy by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Caspar Wijngaard. The Dauntless Duo breaks down the first five issues, why they love it, discusses the politics, and so much more. It's doubtful Wade and Javi have talked as passionately about a comic book since the beginning of the X-Men's Krakoan Era.
After Wade tells a happy story from his personal life, the guys get into whether or not Storm *needs* a solo comic book (despite loving Murewa Ayodele's series). It isn't a knock on her. In fact, she's so good she may not need it to be great.
After that, it's on to Prime Video's Invincible. The Bald Black Nerds break down what is making the third season the best so far, talk about the criticism the animation has gotten, ponder if ...
The Bald Black Nerds return to talk about the Fantastic Four trailer, speculate what we saw, and what could happen (one of the crew is a party pooper). That somehow leads to another conversation about Madame Web and how bad it is because Javi watched the first ten minutes of the movie. There's also a discussion of whether comic book origins are needed in comic book movies, our favorite comic books of the year so far, and more!
#Dam...
After a long hiatus, Old Man Wade and Supa Woke Javi are BACK and they're joined by the host of Epic Tales From the Sewers, Justin Cooper. There's a lot of talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books, movies, and cartoons. Since Jason Aaron is the newest writer for the TMNT comic, it turns into a conversation about his run of Absolute Superman, Scott Snyder's Absolute Batman, and Kelly Thompson's Absolute Wonder Woman. ...
Wade starts the podcast by discussing why comic book characters evolving is a good thing and he brings receipts. Next ten comic book moments that show what true strength is (power isn't always about lifting cars). Lastly, What's Wade reading? #DammitWade
Old Man Wade breaks down the important moments from the newest Deadpool and Wolverine trailer and asks questions about things you may have missed. Then it's on to a review of the X-Men '97 episode 5 ("Lifedeath" part 2) including Storm and Xavier flexing their powers for the universe. Lastly, how the season 2 finale of Invincible saved the season and important moments from the comic books he read last week. #DammitWade
The show starts with a comic book quiz and comic book characters that would have a scandal. Then, Brandon and Wade discuss X-Men ‘97 breaking everyone’s heart and speculate on who’s behind the sentinel’s attack on Genosha. Supa Woke Javi jumps back on to give his thoughts on comic book characters that would apologize during a rap beef. Lastly, it’s on to the new X-Men rosters for the “From the Ashes” era, comic book n...
It's all about the X-Men! Wade goes solo to discuss the first two episodes of X-Men '97, X-Men from the Ashes, and comic book characters that would have an OnlyFans. #DammitWade.
Comic book characters that would and wouldn’t make good first dates, the passing of Akira Toriyama, what is X-Men: Heir to Apocalypse, Thanos No. 4 hints at Thor’s death, X-Men news, what we’re reading, and more. #DammitWade
Wade starts the show with a quiz (Javi and Brandon failed) and comic book characters that would ruin an orgy.
Then, after not recording for a month, the guys discuss the Fantastic Four casting, why people waited to see The Marvel on Disney Plus instead of going to theaters, and Brandon breaks down Madame Web. After hearing his review, Wade can't wait to buy it. #DammitWade
Sorry about the audio quality. It'll sound better next we...
Milly Alcock is cast as Supergirl and the guys react. After discussing that, they talk about the other big names cast in the new DCU so far. Then it's on to everything we loved and would change about Echo. Despite our tone, we enjoyed the show, but it wasn't perfect. Lastly, our new comic book picks of the week. #DammitWade
After a few weeks off, the Bald Black Nerds return with their favorite comic book characters, titles, and more of 2023. Later in the show, Brandon rants about Sony's Marvel division after Madame Web is brought up and Old Man won't stop laughing at it. #DammitWade
Wade is joined by World Traveling Comedian, Slade Ham. The show starts with Wade saying he once wanted to fight a bear (yes, he's aware of how dumb that is). The show continues with the joy of being a creative person. After that, it’s the end of the year review. The shows and movies we enjoyed, what we’ve learned as people, and Slade producing the Andy Huggins comedy special (Early Bird Special) and his comedy specials together (co...
Brandon gives his thoughts on Robert Iger's feelings on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Shockingly, Wade and Javi agree with him. Then, the guys draft their comic book hero, villain, and anti-hero teams. #DammitWade
Wade is joined by Diddy von Doom to discuss the ten Marvel characters Wade wants Batman to fight and things people won’t admit without Batman. #DammitWade
The crew breaks down the season 2 finale of Loki and attempts to explain what timelines are. Then they praise The Marvels and question why it didn't do great box office numbers. Finally, it's on to Invincible and which scenes may or may not be in the series. #DammitWade
Our thoughts on Loki episode 5 and why this series is different from most Marvel Studios shows. Should Jonathan Majors be replaced? Gen V was perfect, and more comic book talk. #DammiWade
Conspiracy theories, 10 facts you should know about Wolverine, was Catwoman or Batman right during Gotham War, villains we’d go on a date with, and what we’re reading and watching. #DammitWade
The episode starts with a two-man weave as Javi and Wade catch up then discuss religion and what kind of heroes we’d be if we had superpowers.
Brandon hops on to discuss a ton of comic book news including what’s next for The X-Men after the age of Krakoa ends, Marvel Comics' G.O.D.S., Jason Aaron writing Superman, and more.
Lastly, it’s time for The Javi and Brandon Political Corner. The tw...
