VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX IS MOVING

Or has moved to a certain extent. Recently I took out some space on the web and now Views has it's own URL and everything.

So from now on you can find Views From The Longbox at the following link:

VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX

The site is a little light on content right now, so you can still find all of the old episodes here, but soon everything will be moved over there, so adjust your bookmarks as you want to.

Thanks for everything. I hope you'll like the new digs, especially when everything is up and running.

Here's the link to this week's episode, just in case you wanted it.

Episode 37: The Mike and Shag Show- Starman Rocks!

Episode 36: The Mike and Shag Show: The Rediscovered Country Episode

Episode 36: The Mike and Shag Show: The Rediscovered Country Episode

Another episode, another guest host. Shag's back and this time he's not taking any prisoners. Actually he's not not taking prisoners either. Frankly he's just talking about comics with Michael again. This week and next Shag and Mike discuss some of their favorite books of the nineties with this installment dealing with Marvel. Shag takes a team of heroes that turn out to be a team of villains while Michael handles a certain Star Spangled Avenger. Plus, Shag has a little bit of an announcement. All this and a very mean tag after the ending theme.

And I am back on track. Next week is another Brave and the Bold/Marvel Two-In-One style team up with Shag. The week after that...

Well, come back next week for an "exciting" announcement.

Episode 35: The @#$% Brian Michael Bendis Episode Part 2

Episode 35: The @#$% Brian Michael Bendis Episode Part 2

More of Ryan and Michael talking about comics. They start this "grand adventure" by discussing the pros and cons of current comic book storytelling and things kind of fall apart from there. After a brief digression into the cinema of the nineties Ryan and Mike talk about the Blade films and what Ryan believes to be the fatal flaw of Batman Begins.

Sorry I didn't get this posted sooner. The show was up last week, but I was busy as hell with other things. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Episode 34: The @#$% Brian Michael Bendis Episode Part 1

After taking a week off to deal with some family stuff Michael is back with yet another team-up two parter. Joining him for the next two weeks is Ryan Speck, one of Michael's oldest friends and the guy who runs the site that hosts this show. After many a delay the two are finally getting together to talk about the subject that started their friendship in the first place; comics. Following a longish explanation about how the two met and a bunch of names that probably mean nothing to you Mike and Ryan get down to it by discussing Ryan's collecting past, why he really doesn't collect now, his time with the Wild Agents of Marvel, the X-Men and why he hates Brian Michael Bendis. This episode runs about an hour (as does the next installment) but flows along rather nicely once it gets started.
