Xtinction Agenda

Xtinction Agenda isn"t for everyone. It"s a book club and a movie club and a place for people to talk TV and comic books. But nothing too new. It"s a rough place where tired old dads tackle pop culture artifacts of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s (mostly). Not a lot of hand-holding as a consequence. These are not introductions to pop culture but discussions about it. As such, we expect the audience to have some degree of experience. Basically then, if you"re a hotdog and you"re looking for a mustache

The poor, struggling artist is trapped in the guilded cage by his own obsession. Blessed with every material he could ever want, staffed by the greatest assistants on spaceship earth, he nonetheless laments his life, fixating on past trauma. And the devil gnashed: how awful it is to be successful and desired, for the critics to know all your techniques, for them to identify all of your flavours. Where is the power in that? For him, the artist, there is now only the heat of the hellish kitchen. "You

Garth Ennis - The Lion and the Eagle

2023/04/21

Here is what we shall do. We shall take hundreds of our soldiers, most of them borrowed from a smash and grab that occurred hundreds of years ago. We will paint them as True Warriors. We shall put them behind enemy lines and ask them to help conquer themselves. We shall call this Valour. Then, when it all goes tits up, we shall pretend it never happened. "Ach, I've seen worse up the shore road on a Saturday night, sir. That's no word of a lie."

Did you feel that? Reality Storm. Always happens this time of year. Thunder. Lightning. Twenty centimetres of allegory expected. Chance of simile. Like a young girl hiding among men in a universe of No Girls Allowed, it's best to stay Inn. Find your stories there. If you have any. "That's your proof."

Warning: This episode has some terrible audio. We didn't realize it was recording so badly. Now we can't fix it. Sorry. Also, we try not to swear in this one. That doesn't go well either. Fortunately, we do have other attributes... "Okay, they're stupid infants."

And there came a day when the chips were down and the deck was stacked and the rain fell and fell. Widows wept and pulled their hair, wailing. We waited for the dust to settle. We waited for a champion to emerge. They never arrived. They never even wrote to say they'd be late. All we got were these hideous amalgamations, these blurred icons, these terrible nightmares breathing flame, kicking mud all over the barn doors. Thanks for everyone who made it this far. We hope you survive the experience

Kate Beaton - Ducks

Xtinction Agenda ·

2023/03/17

It's like a toilet plunger, isn't it? That suck suck sludging noise following you around. Like pulling your feet up from the mud. Or the oil sands. Black crude leaving marks behind you for the rest of your life. All for the slim hope of one day being an artist. Or at least human. Kate Beaton - Ducks. An investigation. "Coal, fishing, steel... but that's all gone, isn't it?"

Timecop (1994)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2023/03/03

It is a truism that one never has enough time to pleasure a woman. Walker knows well this ancient truth. He learned it the hard way, splitting himself between ages like a muscular Belgian splits his legs. A man out of time, forever separated from himself. Halt! Put down the gold bullion! It's Timecop! "Poor bastard. Tomorrow might have been a brighter day."

To walk the realm of mortals and feel the dirty air, risking death, bringing destruction in your wake. We all want this. Even the ones who cannot die. Them most especially. They look up to the ones below, secretly desiring their own inevitable loss. And then kill their children to bring it about. "Shall we go back to your place?"

Brad Meltzer - Identity Crisis

Xtinction Agenda ·

2023/02/16

These primary colour flatland print objects are growing up. They have kids now. Responsibilities lacking in youth. Time slips away from them, leaving past triumphs in the past. Tradition spurs them forward. Tradition and the perpetual threat that one day the status quo will no longer suffice to push units. Ask yourself who benefits. Ask yourself what possible motive could have inspired the death of Sue Dibny. And when you solve the mystery of Brad Meltzer's Identity Crisis, remember: "... you should

Born from the murky river of tarnished America, the trundling beast sat at its typewriter. One claw tick tack tick. Ding. Another sentence. Nixon is in the white room waiting with Kissinger. I will never forget this moment, the beast writes, not even in the dreamless sleep of the plaza strip. Nowadays, bastards everywhere you look. Frank Miller - Spawn/Batman.

The horse walks slowly atop the dusty rough, carrying the man wearing a star. The man reads the signs left in the night, sees the swollen bodies and the blood. 9mm rounds, .45 ACPs. Knows that something larger is at play. And that someone needs his help. The man thinks it's all waiting on him. But that's vanity, isn't it?

Heavy Metal (1981)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2023/01/26

Well, we finally watched it: animated cult classic Heavy Metal (1981). Although none of us are really pleased with ourselves, we like to think that we got something out of it. Something important. Like we put our finger on the pulse of a dying god and felt with our own flesh its final expiration. Ultimate evil is expunged. The universe is safe. "Earth women who experience sexual ecstasy with mechanical assistance always tend to feel guilty."

The Death of Stalin

When you go into the circle and it gets tighter and tighter and you realize that something is around your neck and know that if you don't smile in just the right way you are dead. That's life in the Big Leagues. Where the Grand Ones live and dine. Where Stalin lived and died. And where you and I must now go. Tonight. "I wasn't afraid but now I'm afraid."

Neil Gaiman - The Sandman: Fables and Reflections

2023/01/05

God this collection of stories sucks. Somehow though, because Chris, James, and James are True Professionals, they still manage to talk for nearly two hours. This is the nature of the beast that is The Sandman: Fables and Reflections. Like this podcast, it is a great yawning chasm of words that numb you into complacency. Do you wish to submit to our discourse? "I do not dance. Not even with you, my wife."

Christ Mass time is Junji Ito time. Your time to connect with the one you love. Tomie. The only one you love. The one who's love consumes you from the inside out. The one who's love just makes you want to cut her into pieces. Don't hide it. I want it too. She is everything.... "I told you not to leave my condo!"
