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

Geoff Johns - Blackest Night #1-8 (2009-2010)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/04/14

Chris, James, and James utterly savage this week's subject matter. Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis and all these CRIMINALS need to be thrown in the slammer with Hellary Klinton and Racist Grandpa. If we had paid for this comic we would have burned all comics shops down to the ground. But we didn't pay for this comic. Not in any material sense anyway. Only in the spiritual sense. In the sense that only makes sense when one blunders into Blackest Night. "Why do we need to put their remains in a vault?"

Larry Hama - Wolverine Vol. 2 #31-34

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/04/09

James and James return to the topic of the Ole Canucklehead. Larry Hama wrote a good chunk of these Wolverine comics when we were but wee lads. We go back to see what that might have done to our undeveloped minds. Marc Silvestri does not disappoint. "We are beyond fear, beyond hope and beyond pain..."

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/04/06

GO JOE! James and James learn the origin stories of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, two of G.I. Joe's most interesting and mysterious characters. Larry Hama put a lot of love into this toy commercial franchise. We appreciate that. We really do. "I happen to like empty pistols. I'll buy it from you for fifty dollars."

Fist of the North Star

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/04/01

Chris, James, and James enjoy some fine literature and some fine animated cinema. Before the Fist of the North Star was a movie, it was a manga. Viz Media started putting out some nice hardcover collected editions of the original series so we thought we'd dip into this mega franchise, see what's up. We were not disappointed. "It's all mine. And your woman, too."

Tom DeFalco - Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #301 (1987)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/03/25

Because life sometimes gets in the way, James and James gotta take one out of the crypt this week. Listen as we trot out an old, previously unreleased examination of Tom DeFalco's earliest work on the Fantastic Four. Hard to believe that Marvel Comics would degenerate into a pile of garbage under his stewardship. "Did I only imagine that I heard my son's voice, or...?"

David Fincher - Se7en and Fight Club

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/03/20

Chris, James, and James come in a little late this week. They had some technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts. However, this week we have a blockbuster for you. Introducing the newest member of our podcasting family: David Fincher! David sits down with us this week to discuss Se7en (1995) and Fight Club (1999), two movies you may never have heard of. Trust us though, they are definitely worth of a look-see. "Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me finds me disagreeable."

Mark Millar - Nemesis, Superior, and Starlight

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/03/10

Chris, James, and James make an concerted effort to get some sort of critical purchase on third-wave British invasion writer Mark Millar. To this end, they tackle three works from this Scottish writer's middle period: Nemesis w/Steve McNiven (2010), Superior w/Leinil Francis Yu (2010-2012), and Starlight w/Goran Parlov (2014). What's the magic sauce that makes all this stuff work? Find out. "Are you the lady from the news?"

David Lynch - Mulholland Drive (2001)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/03/01

Chris and James take stock of the recent Ukrainian invasion before jumping head first into a fresh pool of David Lynch. *splish* This week we are talking Mulholland Drive. All of Hollywood is corrupt. All of Hollywood is a dream. "There's a man... in back of this place. He's the one who's doing it. I can see him through the wall."

Rifts - Role-Playing Game (1990)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/02/25

Here's something a little different. James and James talk about a little-known role-playing game by the name of Rifts. The brain child of Kevin Siembieda (a name we fail to pronounce), Rifts was a big game for us growing up. It was a wholesome and innocent game with absolutely nothing problematic about it.

Scott Snyder - Batman: Zero Year - Secret City

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/02/19

After about eight minutes of talking events North of the boarder, telling the Ottawa Occupational force to f#$* itself, James and James return to Scott Snyder's and Greg Capullo's Batman run. Did Batman need his origin story told again? Hopefully Chip Zdarsky isn't around to hear the answer...

The Tournament of Hearts

Grant Morrison - The Invisibles Vol. 3 #1

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/01/30

Greg Rucka - Batman: No Man's Land

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/01/27

Taken 3 (2014)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/01/20

Adam, James, and James finish with this franchise in style. Shlub Dad enters a parallel universe where up is down, left is right, the boys in blue are remarkably tenacious, and not a single person is actually taken. "Sounds like spy shit to me."

Becky Cloonan - The Punisher Vol. 10 #1-6

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/01/19

James and James kinda sell Steve Dillon short by not putting his name front and centre in the title of this episode. But sometimes that's just what life is: one bitter betrayal of memory after another. Rest in peace Steve. You did the good work. "...a Punisher was born."

Xtinction Agenda ·

2022/01/13
