Episode #67 - Ultimate Super Powers

The origin story is probably one thing every Fanboy and Fangirl can say they find the most interesting. We want to know how did that ordinary Pennysaver reporter roll around in radioactive waste and become Ulter-Super-Duper-Man, defender of truth, justice and lost puppies. We are interested in what drove Batman to wear his underwear on the outside, or why Wonder Woman gave up all female sand wrestling to visit smog filled cities. On this episode we talk about the ways Super Heroes get their powers. The Epic ones, the stupid one and ones that are just down right funny. We also talk about Mur Lafferty’s new hardcover, introduce the “week in geek” segment, and get so some of the news that makes geeks happy. Listen to this episode before your parents shove you into a ship and send you to that world with the yellow sun. . .it’s episode 67. (Apologies for new member, Lorrie Thomas, as we were using new equipment and did not realize we had the setting wrong until the recording was over. We’ll get it right next time, promise.)

Ep #66 - Living in the Shadow of Comicon

What do members of the Great FanNation do when they can’t go to San Diego Comicon? They watch G4, go to IGN, NEWORAMA, CBR and listen to podcasts that went and reported back about it. Surprisingly there was a lot of comic, TV and Movie news both big and small and this episode talks about some of the better stuff that show why nerd rule, geeks are the new black and why we should enjoy our 15 minutes before they are over. San Diego, one day we will be there, until then here’s our official SDICC 08’s show. Oh and we talk comics, Dr. Horrible, and even some TV, in case you think we just sat around all week wishing we were in Cali.

Ep #65 - John Conner in a Bat Suit

Every single Fanboy or Fangirl podcast is talking about The Dark Knight. Hell, you can’t throw a tantrum without it hitting someone who is talking about the Dark Knight. After all the news, the hype and the praise for the movie, we figure people must be tired of hearing about the Dark Knight. With that in mind, here’s the Hideout’s show long review and discussion of The Dark Knight. We also do an over view of G4’s E3 coverage, wonder if there is actually any revenge for the rogues to have and get around to Middleman and Burn Notice. Criminals might be a superstitious and cowardly lot but they’ll leave you alone if you listen to this episode.

Ep #64 - I KHAN!

Icons. We know them from all forms of culture. Some are historic, some are ordinary people, some are extra-ordinary. We celebrate, elevate them, and sometimes we have their posters on our walls. The Hideout discusses Icons from various parts of Pop Culture, who they are and why they never send us cake on Christmas. While listing those Icons we find out if DC has smartened up about their movies, how many forms of Ghostbusters are about to launch and why Star War: Force Unleashed looks more kick-ass then the previous three movies. We’re ready for our close-up Mr. DeMille, but that won’t stop us from bringing you another show.

Ken Heidenreich - I have immediate contacts with some people in South Florida that are interested in putting together a comic book. This book would be about some real life high profile music celebrities and their “real life” adventures in the urban scene. Nightclubs cars girls music etc. this would be their story about them in a “Grease” goes to the hood theme. This is a great opportunity with many future opportunities for the right person or studio!
