  • My favorite part of this episode? The extended Teen Titans theme song in Japanese.

    Okay so I'm biased.

  • Nice show!

    I haven't read Torso but I think this effect used by Bendis (changing the feelings of the character with the words while de frames are actually the same) is called Kuleshov Effect. It's used on film adeiting a lot. You can check the description of it at:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_Experiment

    You wouldn't imagine how many Oscars won by actors should actually own to the film editor.

    Oh, and I liked the Teen Titans song too! :)

  • FYI I think that TT in the UK has had both the Japanese and English titles from series one when it is shown on Cartoon Network.

    Also if you like the premise of How To Be A Superhero then it's worth checking out a book of the same name by Mark Leigh, Mike Lepine and illustrated by Steve Dillon. It was published back in 1992 and is hilarious.

  • Great show - just found your podcast via iTunes and it's very intellegent, informative and well done. I agree with you that Jack Kirby does (well did) rock.

  • Another good show...but who would expect less...I too really liked Torso and have recommended it to others and you are so dead on to what Stan Lee brought to the plate in their collaberations...Kirby had some great ideas but Lee could make all of them make some sort of sense...Keep it up

  • a friend of mine listens to your show all of the time, recently he told me about how you raved about Dr. Metropolis' book. Oddly enough, I know Dr. Metropolis. (I'm listening to talk about the book as I type this) I will let Dr. Metropolis know that you like his book.
