Inspector Gill, an oddly human fish creature, finds himself lost in the desert after one of his wacky investigations goes awry! How can a fish world have a desert? Stop asking questions, nerd, it's not that kind of story. What matters is that Gill is about to learn that the earth is flat, physics are for losers, and no matter what you do, barnacles will manage to get on everything

Case in point, the non-corporeal Deadman, who can jump into people's bodies without permission and make them do any weird thing he wants! It's kinda like in Wonder Woman 1984, but somehow far less problematic. Deadman's hot

Ep.206 – Starriors No. 2 (1984)

Darkseid"s Couch ·

2022/05/16

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée spend way too much time trying to pronounce Starriors no. 2! What options do you have when you toy line about a gang of indistinguishable robots with unclear motivations is too dumb and boring to get its own cartoon series? Why not try dumping it into the comic book industry instead and see if maybe those losers will gobble up the slop? Good hustle, but it turns out Marvel managed to do the impossible with Starriors: Insult the intelligence of

Darkseid"s Couch ·

2022/04/18

This time on the Couch: Things get weird for Mike, James, and Shée as they read Weird War Tales no. 89! War is hell when a bunch of gorillas subscribe to a particular ideology that savvy podcasters know not to write in their show notes for fear of getting banned! Just look at their armbands, folks. How did the Primate Platoon come to be? Which Steve Bannon speech did they hear that made them become so problematic? And where do you get guns with wide enough trigger guards for gorilla fingers? Plus,

Darkseid"s Couch ·

2022/02/28

This time on a very special Couch: Mike, James, and Shée celebrate 200 episodes! It's a big milestone, and that means it's time to celebrate the Darkseid's Couch way: By confronting childhood trauma!

Plus, come along on an adventure with the New Gods (aka Chads in Space),
