Looking Forward to Wednesday
It’s a double-wide stack this time since I didn't make it to
the comic shop last week!

Pop Culture Conversations Podcast - Ep001 - Secret Origin
It's official! Our first podcast episode is up and running.
This premier episode is a look into the backstory of your hosts Shawn & Jason. On our first outing, we talk about some of the things that turned us into the high-functioning geeks that we are today. Comic books, TV, movies and more.
So, atomic batteries to power.....turbines to speed...and hop in while we jet down memory lane to reminisce about the good old days before massive reboots, retcons and ridiculously large comic events.

New Comic Reviews – Releases for 11/6 & 11/13
This was a light week for me (actually a light 2 weeks) but
what I did read was, for the most part, pretty solid. So what happened? Well…..Lex Luthor shows off his mad origami skills,
Batman joins the hot rod set, Einstein wields a chainsaw, Captain Cold returns
to normal, and Earth-2 Superman shows his disdain for magic.

Don't Call It a Comeback!! OK...it is a comeback.
After a long time laying dormant, we are bringing the Clever Name Comics & Pop Culture Blog back online!
I apologize for the long delay in posting but after the birth of my wonderful daughter Victoria, life changed FAR more than I had ever thought it could. I've still kept up on my comics, movies and TV but due to being a parent and switching day jobs I just haven't had much extra time. But now that things are more stable, myself and fellow geek Shawn Robinson will be hosting the site once again. Although this time we are adding a new feature: the Pop Culture Conversations podcast. We have the first episode "Secret Origin" recorded and it will be up shortly as soon as I get the file hosting straightened out.
The concept behind PCC podcast is to make it as much like the conversations that we have at our local comic book shop on Wednesdays. Typically, a topic is set up early on in the evening, it rambles on to many tangents, debates and flat out arguments....and we typically end up somewhere totally different which will carry on to the next week.
We'll also be doing written reviews and features on the blog so keep checking back and Like us on Facebook to get notified when we have new content. Thanks for checking us out again as we rebuild the site and force our opinions on you :-)

Hunting for Plastic People - Green Lantern Classics: Wave 1
After a long hiatus from posting due to the craziness of adapting to the new addition to our family that is Princess Victoria (AKA Lady Chubbington, the Duchess of Droolsbury and the Baroness von Chubbsly), I’m back with a full review of Mattel’s Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 action figures.

Advance Movie Review - Superman / Shazam: The Return of Black Adam
Next week DC Comics will release it’s latest entry in their fast-growing animation library. DC Showcase is basically a collection of the previous animated shorts that have appeared with the longer length animated films as extras. So far we have seen The Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow featured in these shorts and now we add Superman and Captain Marvel to that list. I got a chance to check it out a bit early and really enjoyed this newest entry. Click below for a full review (with spoilers):

Hunting for Plastic People #1 - DC Universe Classics Wave 15
It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to post anything here due to my family growing by one very small (but very demanding) little girl. This feature, Hunting for Plastic People, is a new thing I’m trying documenting my hobby of action figure collecting. I’m not sure how regular this is going to be but I’m going to give it a shot.
