Josh and Leia welcome first time guest Dixie Cochran to discuss Gotham City Sirens just in time for the new issue to have been dropped last week (absolutely, 100% planned by Josh...like absolutely. Not just an amazing coincidence).
We get right into it by discussing representation in comic books, how weird 2009 was in terms of what is progressive or problematic and we cannot stop giggling at the name "Bone Blaster" because we are 12. -
Leia and Josh are joined by frequent guest Jesse to discuss Ultimatum! LOTS of decapitations, Leia absolutely hates it here and why every single character was screwed up in the Ultimate Universe. Also, who has quit the show the most?

Josh and Leia are joined by new guest Tim Hardwick to discuss Madame Web! More of a breakdown of the character and why she got her own movie (tl;dr - we have no idea). Some highlights include talking about Black Tom, the tiny Looney Tunes dog of Marvel, Jessica Jones and Paul Rudd getting it on and Josh gets personally offended when part of One More Day is blatantly laid out before him.
-
Leia and Josh are joined by Josh's Straight Up Dog Talk co-host, Emily Breslin to discuss Tom King's 7th graphic novel in his amazing run, Batman: The Wedding! We talk a lot of Booster Gold, romance in comics and why a lot of people were upset at this ending!
-
Josh and Leia are joined by almost-newlyweds David and Kristy Harnois to discuss Gail Simone's Jessica Jones book - The Variants! Josh goes a little Jessica crazy (he's a big fan) as they play within the multiverse! Get ready for a show full of humor, caffeine and Morning Blush!
-
Leia and Josh go off the RAILS with special guest Patrick Stout Garrity. Josh read the wrong book so he's auditing the class today! Bucky Barnes adopts a child and hilarity ensues. Leia's knowledge of Spider-Man villains is brought to a reckoning. And we discuss the finer points of doors and Bucky's hatred of them.
-
In this very special cut of RetConversations, Leia and Josh talk with guest Josh Lawrence about MAUS and book banning in the United States. This cut is meant for grades 9 and up and discretion is advised by the teacher.
-
On this very special episode, Leia and Josh welcome new guest Josh Lawrence to discuss MAUS. This episode is different from our regular format: less jokes, a lot more deference and, of course, discussions about the Holocaust and book banning.
This is the regular edition, please look on this feed if you would prefer the Classroom Edition for teachers dealing with the subjects of the Holocaust or book banning.

WELCOME TO EPISODE 50!
Josh and Leia are joined by first-time guest Sarah Kennedy to discuss one of her favorite storylines - Annihilation! We work a little differently than normal to talk a lot of Space Marvel, nu-metal and Drax's Heartbreak Kid phase.
-
We are back with part 2. Leia and Josh are joined by special guests Dawn Baldwin and Jennifer Howland to finish out this story, answering the age-old question: how bad can time travel really be? The answer: bad enough Dawn apologizes profusely by the end for picking this story! Tune in now!
-
Leia and Josh are joined by special guests Dawn Baldwin and auditing GN partner, Jennifer Howland to talk about the 2013 comic Age of Ultron. In something that was meant to be a joke, this first part discusses the movie's impact on the MCU before diving into a world of villains with stupid names, white Nick Fury and time travel. Trust me, this was Leia's favorite.
-
Josh and Leia welcome return guest, comedian Josh Staley for the most recent run of Nightwing! A delightful book with a lot of revelations about Dick Greyson, why Bludhaven is actually worse than Gotham and we all have a long overdue conversation about costumes vs street clothes.
-
Leia and Josh are in the studio with guest Jennifer Howland to discuss Kelly Thompson's amazing Black Widow graphic - The Ties That Bind! Experience one of Leia's favorite Black Widow comics which, if you have been paying attention, is Leia's favorite comic book character of all time! Not only a fantastic book, but Josh has a surprise waiting right at the beginning of the episode! Welcome to Season 5!
-
In a topsy turvy season finale, Leia, Josh and auditing professor Jenn are joined (and taught!) by Friend of the Podcast Adam Witt about all things Fantastic Four! Why didn't the movies work? Is Ben Grimm a fine Jewish boy? What FF books are good for people who don't like the FF? Tune in to find out!
-
Josh and Leia welcome back great friend and guest Matt Hirth to talk about Fray! We start with a long statement regarding Joss Whedon and then dive into the future slayer world. The story is super toy. Don't know what that means? Listen to find out!
-
If ever we had a NSFW episode, this one is it...
Leia and Josh are joined by special guest JR Cillian Green to talk about Sex Criminals! What if you could freeze time every time you orgasmed? What if one person wouldn't stop making sex puns the entire time you explained a comic about it? This one goes way over the line - so much so that our guest quits at LEAST three times! Make sure you have earbuds on for this episode!
-
Leia and Josh are joined once more by the lovely Jennifer Howland to go through the conclusion of Tom King's amazing Human Target! Will Christopher Chance find his killer? Will he be able to find a cure for the poison coursing through his body? How much more of a dick can Guy Gardener possibly be? Answers to all this and more inside!
-
Leia and Josh welcome back friend of the podcast Kyle Slack to talk about Hellboy Conqueror Worm! Leia's first Hellboy comic and one Josh has been interested in awhile. Homunculi, robot gorillas and killing Nazis. Everything you need for a relaxing afternoon!
-
Josh and Leia welcome very special guest Chris Wolf from @VillainSupport to explain the first of three Age of Apocalypse collections (not counting the prequel collection). Everything is topsy turvy, edginess is the name of the game and the 90's bleed through as the group loses their minds trying to make sense of all this.
-
Leia and Josh sit down with Loki Variant and possible Skrull, Loki Lott to go through Secret Invasion! A direct follow-up to our first episode, Civil War, Secret Invasion has everything you could want in an event - intrigue, danger, mystery and, of course, Maria Hill being punked out because it's a Marvel event and they just can't help themselves. Tune in for a story that WE PROMISE is much better than the MCU show was.
