    1. 12 Minutes to Midnight

      In 1986 the landscape of comic books changed forever. The seminal tome that is Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen put a mirror up to the superhero genre, forcing it to take a long, hard look at itself. Now, over 30 years later, Dan Toland and Michael David Sims are putting that same mirror up to Watchmen. Join us on this weekly adventure as we breakdown and examine Watchmen chapter by chapter.

    9. A Cure for the Common Podcast: A WWF 1997 Retrospective

      In 1997, Vince McMahon's WWF was at a crossroads. With Ted Turner's WCW and its nWo storyline dominating the legendary Monday Night Ratings War, the WWF found itself in the unfamiliar territory of having to fight from behind to become the number one promotion again. History shows us that they were successful, but Tom Hemmings and Kellen Scrivens decided to take a long, hard, and thorough look of how it happened. What worked, what didn't, and how does it all hold up today?

      Damien and Desmond talk wrestling. A lot. They needed a reason to bullshit regularly. Okay, another reason to bullshit regularly. So, why not go through the pay-per-views of ECW, the little wrestling promotion that could? See, Desmond is a lapsed fan whose final days were in the Attitude Era, and Damien is the fount of knowledge.
