    Issue 126: Earthworm Jim
    Feb 11 2026

    Today we're checking out Marvel’s Earthworm Jim, which has no right being as good as it is. Considering how wild the source material is, it's a miracle that Marvel in 1995 managed to capture the crazy humor of the video game.

    Dollar Bin Discoveries: Feeling Green Edition
    Feb 4 2026

    This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery theme is “feeling green,” so we dredged up cash and cackling villains. Jessika read 1st Issue Special #2 to meet the Green Team (a squad of kid millionaires), while Mike took on Green Goblin #1 for a dose of cackling chaos.

    Issue 125: M. Rex
    Jan 28 2026

    Today we’re checking out M. Rex, the two-issue oddity that inspired Generator Rex and somehow predicted Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. We break down how this tiny, strange series had both a small run and an outsized legacy.

Mike and Jessika take turns researching and informing the other party about weird, specific, and niche comics. That's the substance. It's like finding out one of your friend's has a rabbit hole's worth of intel on a specific thing you don't know about and there is (for me and many other geeks) a very specific joy that comes with exploring such things. M&J also have a couple of fun check-in segments at the top and bottom of the show that expand to larger geeky topics and goings-on. As their blurb says: "Come for the history, stay for the swearing." I also keep returning to hear Mike's varaitions on their introductions, like saying they "throw elbows and natural 1s" or like calling Jessika the "Cleric of chaos." That in and of itself should give you a good vibe check for how this podcast rolls (figuratively and literally). Deep cuts and hot takes abound. Also, LOVE the theme music.

What I particularly enjoy about Jessika and Mike’s show, is that they talk about comics and pop culture in such a thoughtful and well researched way, that it makes their bi-weekly topics very accessible. Even to someone like me who is definitely novice when it comes to comic book history.

A well made, accessible listen for any fan of comics and pop culture!
