Dropped D

Desmond and DW are on a rock n' roll odyssey to review their favorite bands' discographies album-by-album, track-by-track. You see, kids: there used to be things called albums that were a collection of songs by a single musical artist or group of artists. You may have to take our word on that.

They also like to make jokes about codpieces. We're sorry.

For Better or Worse

1. The Douchies

For better or worse, it seems as though Hollywood is bent on remaking every movie and rebooting every franchise. Sometimes they're warranted, but most often they're not. Either way, a new version of your favorite movie is near. And that's where married couple Michael and Shana Sims come in. Every other Friday they'll recast, rewrite, and reboot cinematic classics, underrated gems, and stinkers with potential. Hollywood might not get it right, but these two will.

For Your Ears Only

For Your Ears Only fills that niche in the podcasting market for a monthly run-through of all James Bond films in chronological order. Hosted by genuine British people Ian Wilson and Adham Fisher, this podcast celebrates both the past and the future of England's most venerable action hero, and will leave the audience shaken, if not stirred!

Hey, an Actor!

Every month, genuine British brothers Ian and Andy Wilson look at a trio of entries in an actor's filmography to gauge their range, talent, and shoe size.

Married to Movies

Every other Wednesday World's Finest Podcast will focus on five episodes of a DCAU cartoon, taking long, hard looks at the story, animation, dialog and character development. Along the way Easter Eggs and little bits of trivia will be pointed out, and laughs will be had by all!

General Discussion

Here you'll find general news and discussions relating to the comic book industry. This is also the place to discuss web comics.

Marvel

With much thanks to Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada, Marvel has ushered in the Platinum Age of comics by hiring the best writers the industry has ever seen — and in the process we've been rewarded with titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil.

DC

DC isn't just about Superman and Batman anymore. The publisher has a more modern, realistic line in Wildstorm. A mature readers imprint responsible for some of the best comics of all time in Vertigo. And an awesome kids line of comics in Johnny DC. But if you're still interested in the heroes who defined superhero comic books, the DC Universe combines the best writers and artists in the business on some of the world's most iconic characters for your monthly enjoyment.

Independent

Image, Dark Horse, Boom!, Dynamite, and so many other smaller publishers might not have the financial power of Marvel and DC, but they produce great comic books nonetheless. Feel free to promote your own comic in here as well.

General Discussion

Here you'll find general news and discussions relating to the video game industry.

Nintendo

With the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo is looking to bridge the gap between the hardcore and casual gamer, while the 3DS is still dominating the handheld market.

Sony

Though the Vita didn't rock the world, the PS3 has enjoyed a resurgence through increased focus on the PlayStation Plus service and a small but impressive library of exclusive franchises.

Microsoft

Xbox Live is still the dominant force in online gaming, with little end in sight. Through sheer force of will and a powerful library, Microsoft has managed to keep gamers glued to their seats without any handhelds or next-gen teases.

PC, iOS, and Web Games

At the end of the console cycle, the PC has become home to the best versions of big-budget titles, along with a steady stream of indie developers keeping the art alive.

General Discussion

Wanna talk about a movie or television show that doesn't fit into one of the categories listed below? Then do it here.

Comic Book Adaptations

We're lucky to be living in the renaissance of the comic book adaptation. Sure, they're not all winners, but the occasional bomb is surely offset by epic blockbusters like Spider-Man 2.
Comic book related cartoons should also be discussed here.

Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy

Horror, sci-fi and fantasy have been in an upswing these last few years, with many thanks to Saw, Doctor Who and The Lord of the Rings. Will that trend continue, or will perpetual sequels and spinoffs once again water-down the genres?

Cartoons

Though the heyday of Saturday morning cartoons have come and gone, there are still many outlets to get our retro and modern cartoon fixes.

Anime & Manga

For the discussion of the mega-popular Japanese animation styles of anime and manga. Be it books, movies or TV shows, it's all fair game here.
