We’re back and exploring our own tropes, among other things. So much has happened, and so much of it we missed, but we did remember to talk about things like Joe Hendry, toxic fandoms, what’s new in Star Wars, the comics we have been reading, the Wyatt Sicks, X-Men ‘97, and enough other things that we managed to record over an hour and twenty minutes of content. We hope you’re willing to listen to maybe five minutes of it, dear listener. (If a trope is established while no one is listening, does it count as a trope?)--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/senseless-apprentice/support

Saying we’ll record more often and then disappearing for an extended period seems to be our podcast’s first trope. Verano and I have been gone so long we have over six months of released content to discuss. Guardians 3, the Flash, Blue Beetle, Ahsoka, Echo, the theater vs. streaming debate, the writers strike, and more get some airtime in this episode. Also, is anyone else tired of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend? (Hope our 44 bots enjoy the show!!)--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/senseless-apprentice/support

In one last “check in” episode before our Civil War celebration in July, we discuss Titans and the Flash (CW) and their conclusions, the Gotham Knights show that neither of us watched (it’s cancelled now), and Across the Spider-Verse. Then we discuss the time that Peter Parker’s body was taken over by Otto Octavius’s mind in the pages of Superior Spider-Man. Our exhaustion from outside factors may be apparent in our discussion, but we hope you enjoy anyway.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/senseless-apprentice/support

Holy F'n S---, Batman! Another accidental six month break?!? Apologies, loyal listeners (who we can no longer call our "dirty dozen" since different analytics indicate there might be many more of you out there than we realized). Moving on, in this episode we discuss the accidental break, potential future plans, comic book related current events, and the Avengers vs. X-Men vs. Eternals crossover event (with a minor digression into the world of professional wrestling). We had fun talking about it, maybe you will enjoy listening to it.

(Something I noticed recently... all of my favorite punk musicians who taught me in their lyrical content to question authority and resist the capitalist system of exploitation have houses/property... and at this point many have businesses or other ventures for making additional money outside of the band... a good number of them are millionaires... and unlike Wesley Snipes and the Situation there are no rumblings about tax avoidant behaviors, so they must be participating in the tribute to the governing authority portion of the capitalist system of exploitation... punk's not dead, it's a living genre filled with gaslighters and the droogs who aspire to their station... but I'm still going to listen to NOFX on my drive home from work today)

As I attempt to read through the entire Secret Wars event of 2015, we decided to hold off on another installment of Cable & Deadpool to bring you a conversation about the Deadpool 3 announcement, She-Hulk, James Gunn and the DCU, and Halloween Ends (among other things). Thank you to our dedicated dozen of fans, this one (like all of our episodes) is for you!!

We once again regale you with our take on comic book news that is somewhere between three weeks and a month out of date. This time, we discuss the completely underwhelming Thunderbolts team reveal that nobody cares about at the time of the episode release. Then we return to "As the Domino Rolls" (AKA Cable & Deadpool issue 29, "The Domino Principle, Part II: The Politics of Fear"), the soap opera surrounding the negotiations between Cable, the Ultimatum Guard, and the Rumeki Resistance Movement. Not as in the political drama of watching Cable annex the first colony of Providence, this is a half Deadpool comic!! Also, Domino does a lot of standing around and staring at Cable. Then we have "Five Takeaways from Mutant X", where we discuss the title that ran from 1998-2001 where Alex Summers finds himself in an alternate dimension where stuff is supposed to be "darker", but it's really just a slightly different version of the same.
Coming up: Cable and Deadpool participate in the superhero civil war of 2006-2007 and Five Takeaways from 2015's Secret Wars.

In the wake of the cancellation of the Batgirl movie, we had a recorded conversation about that event and what it might mean for the fate of the Flash (the movie, not the tv show... although I think we talked about the cancellation of the tv show too). Something like two days after we recorded, the news broke that Ezra Miller had issued apologies for his behavior and was meeting with WB executives about next steps. So while we had both pretty much thought that the Flash would be going the way of Batgirl, apparently we were wrong (which makes large portions of this recording pretty much irrelevant). You may listen if you like the dulcet sounds of our sweet voices, but that warning is out there. We'll be back in September with the next installment of Cable's efforts to build an empire and five takeaways from Havok's Mutant X series. We hope to see you then!!

In which we talk about stuff that was relevant about a month ago to the world of comic books (sorry - it's been a busy month, loyal listener). Don't worry, it's mostly discussion of Thor: Love and Thunder and Jake's general sermonizing about something relatively unimportant, so if you want to skip to the read through that's just fine with most of us here at Dp-I-Y. Then we get to the issue of the day - Cable & Deadpool issue 28: The Domino Principle part 1, "For King and Country" - and see how Domino's poor decision making skills lead to Cable having a baby colony to call his own! We close with five takeaways from the first Gorr the God-Butcher stories in the Thor comics (referring to "The God Butcher" from Thor: God of Thunder #1-5, "God Bomb" from Thor: God of Thunder #7-11, and the issue that comes in between but isn't officially a part of either story). How does movie Gorr differ from comic Gorr, and do we really think those differences are a bad thing? How is Gorr similar to one of Jake's favorite C-level heroes from DC comics? And how impactful was Gorr to the Thor comics of the last ten years, anyway? You'll have to listen to find out.

In which we talk about the second part of the prequel to the then-upcoming X-Men story arc Blood of Apocalypse; Cable & Deadpool #27 "With Eyes Open". We find out why Cable blames himself for almost every life that Apocalypse has ever taken, as well as why Irene Merryweather is the worst version of the Lois Lane archetype. We also talk about Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, the Thor trailer we both have seen, the Black Adam trailer only one of us has seen, and whether we believe Deadpool 3 is actually going to happen...In our new "5 Takeaways" segment, we shamelessly attempt to connect to Obi-Wan Kenobi interest by talking about the War of the Bounty Hunters from current Star Wars comics.Check us out on Instagram:dpiy.pod.sa (Senseless/Jake)mrver.ano (Mr. Verano)Questions?

In which we discuss Moon Knight, the cancellation of Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, and which of us has seen Dr. Strange by the time of recording (the other will see it soon, we promise). We walk through Cable & Deadpool issue 26 - "Blood of Apocalypse Prequel: Born Again Part 1 - With Eyes Closed"; the start of a story whose main purpose was to set up an event in a better selling title. We end with a discussion of the "Age of Konshu", talking about five takeaways from the Avengers (2018) story (issues 33-37).

Holy uploads, Batman! Two in one month?!?
Yes - we're getting back into the pace we hope to maintain for the foreseeable future (thank God), but whether or not this is good for our listeners is for you to decide. On this episode, Senseless (with permission from Verano) sidesteps the issue of why we were gone for so long (sorry, dear listeners, but I'm not ready to be that open with you yet...), and then we talk about a bunch of comic book related properties. No Way Home, the Batman, the Guardians of Justice, everything is on the table for this one... but if you want to know if we spoke meaningfully about a comic property that you're excited about... well, you'll just have to listen to the episode to find out!

We're back after an unscheduled 2 month hiatus (more about that in the next episode). This time we jump right in to a chapter in Cable & Deadpool in which Captain America shows off his espionage skills... and they are surprisingly lacking considering his longtime friendship with one Director Nick Fury. We also find out some more about Cable's past in the future, and Deadpool makes a minor cameo in a book whose title bears his name. Then, I try to rope Verano into fixing some messes my kids made around the house... but I'm feeling a little woozy. You'll have to listen to the episode to find out why...

Welcome to our first podcast of 2022... ONLY four weeks late (seriously... we recorded on January 3rd, but it was rendered unusable thanks to Senseless's accidents of babbling...). Anyways, join Mr. Verano and the Senseless Apprentice as we discuss the newest Matrix movie and Senseless's own personal theory about the origins of the Merovingian (aren't you glad we waited until after the movie had been taken off HBOMax to talk about the movie?).
Afterward we review Marvel's Villainous, a board game that allows the player to take on the role of a Marvel villain in a race to enact their evil plan first. The game was a lot of fun to play... the conversation? Well, we'll let you decide.

On this episode we cover a more momentous occasion than usual, dear listener, as Mr. Verano and Senseless have the privilege to talk to you about the time that Peter Parker met Wade Wilson by getting thrown off the Queensboro Bridge (it's kinda his turn considering all of the times his girlfriends have been thrown from comparable structures). But seriously, Cable & Deadpool issue 24 - "Sticky Situations" - marks the introduction of Wade Wilson to his "special boy" Spider-Man (see Gwenpool Strikes Back issue 2 to get the reference). One of us also bloviates regarding the Eternals at some point (thankfully with minimal spoilers, but there's your warning if you were waiting to see the movie that has been out so long it is almost ready to be put on the company streaming service), hopefully you find it minimally tortuous. We close with an attempt to make homemade Advent wreaths, but what's the problem with that three leaf bough Senseless found that is a beautifully festive red and green? You'll have to listen to find out!!

Well, this is a first... we waited so long to release the spoiler filled discussion about a comic related property that the movie release on the associated streaming service accidentally made the property relevant again (so I waited a few days to let Shang Chi's release on Disney+ go stale because the idea of lucking into good timing seemed off for a couple of amateurs like us). We also talk about What If...? and the Marvel fan freak out about the critical aggregate score of the Eternals that all the DCEU fans found all too familiar. It's a wonderfully mediocre discussion of Marvel comics related stuff, with tons of spoilers. Listen at your own risk.

In which Mr. Verano and Senseless discuss a poor example of a spouse (thankfully briefly) before turning their attention to Cable & Deadpool issue 23 - "Bosom Buddies Part 4: Fighting Myself". It should come as no surprise that Senseless still has little respect for the Cat, Verano still does not like Cyclops, and absolutely no one cares about Comcast (the comic book villain, not the cable company). This is the issue where we finally find out just who is hiding behind the Black Box armor - and the answer is so underwhelming I'm sure no one who is reading this has realized I spoiled the reveal in the previous sentence...
We finish by talking about the best way to carve a pumpkin - Verano probably has the better method, though in a way his carving technique is really Senseless' as well. What do I mean by that? You'll have to listen to find out!!

We're finally back with another spoiler laden discussion about a current comic book property, but this time it's all your fault if you haven't seen the Suicide Squad yet since it is no longer on HBO Max. But as we say here on Dp-I-Y, good timing is for the professionals, and that ain't us. On this episode, Mr. Verano tries to offer an earnest critique of the movie in question while the Senseless Apprentice meanders through a web of his favorite fan theories and comic book connections. Maybe you can make sense of his nonsense.

Welcome back to the pod (after an accidental month off)! We address the delay in releasing a new episode, but not until the last segment of the show. Before that, Mr. Verano gives Senseless a hand at understanding a particularly frustrating series of dreams, though it may have been a wasted effort... Then, we take a look at Cable & Deadpool issue 22 - "Bosom Buddies Part 3: Crack the Internet in Half" - in which Senseless expresses a newfound dislike (to put it mildly) of the Cat while Verano expresses his well-known dislike of the X-Man Cyclops (and then other things happen, too, but not the one thing that the entire issue seems to be building toward). Afterwards we dig into our mailbag for some totally not made up listener questions (though if any of you actually did ever send any real inquiries to us we would probably make the same implications and jokes that we do on this episode to protect the anonymity of the listener). We tackle topics like why our episodes seem to have random release dates and how to remove water rings from a coffee table. There is a third question, too, but Verano won't let Senseless answer it. Want to know why? You'll have to listen to find out!!

We open this one by beating the "very few listeners" joke to death (we promise to stop soon... maybe), and then we get into discussing Cable & Deadpool issue 21, "Bosom Buddies Part 2: Friendly Fire". The one time Heroes for Hire drop by since the question of the issue is whether Deadpool's buddy Weasel did something bad to the Rand-Meachum servers, and apparently Luke Cage (the big Avenger-man now) owed Danny Rand a favor. The BAD Girls are still around, too, but you're probably tired of hearing Senseless complain about their depiction (I'm sure he gets a shot or two in this episode as well). Also, more C-list guest stars show up by the end of the issue (but you will have to listen to find out who they are, our hint: Deadpool thinks the chest tattoo of one of the guest stars is "so cool"). Then, one of us (I'm sure you can guess who), manages to screw up the safest of fireworks as we try to safely get rid of his leftovers from Independence Day (as we here at Dp-I-Y always say, good timing is for professional podcasts). So which one is it (smoke bombs, snakes, or glow sticks - yes, I'm sure he could mess that up, too)? You'll have to listen to find out.
