It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week we’ve got Episode 444: The Flickcast For All Time. Always.

On this episode Chris and Joe jump into discussions about some new and recurring topics, as they do every week. Some of these include the early Japanese anime Space Battleship Yamato (aka Star Blazers), the latest Steven Soderbergh film No Sudden Move, the director’s other films such as Outta Sight and The Limey, upcoming Marvel series such as What If? and the season finale of the Marvel/Disney+ series Loki.

In addition to the above, you can also expect the usual “more” and several tangents. Although, this episode only features 15.87% more tangents than usual, so at least the number is trending down. That’s not bad. We’re still trying.Change doesn’t happen overnight.

It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 442: The Nexus Event. 

On this episode Chris and Joe jump into discussions about some new and recurring topics. Some of these include the news that HBO isn’t giving Lovecraft Country a second season, a little bit about recent movies The Tomorrow War and Steven Soderbergh’s No Sudden Move, how the boys feel about the state of local and federal cannabis laws and, of course, the fourth episode of the Marvel/Disney+ series Loki.

In addition to the above, you can also expect the usual “more” and lots of tangents. In fact, this episode features at least 25% more tangents than last week. Yay? I guess you’ll be the judge of that.

But hey, this episode is a bit shorter than last week, so if you’re bored or hate it, you’ll have to endure it for a shorter amount of time. That’s good, right? Although, if you do hate the show, why are you listening in the first place?

No judgements here. Just something to think about.

A great time was had by all over the weekend in Long Beach for the 5th annual Long Beach Comic Con. Some members of The Flickcast team spent some time at the show and managed to snap a few pics.

Along with the usual cosplay and such, the LBCC also featured some cool, classic vehicles from some of our favorite films and TV shows. And yes, we even saw one or two storm troopers and even a Vader.

No sign of any slave Leias though. They must have been hiding. However, we’ve included a pic of her above because, well, we like you and don’t want you to be disappointed.

We look forward to next time. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the con yet, you can get your chance next year.

Check out all the pics after the break.

That’s right, it’s another new episode of The Flickcast this week. Sadly, no episode was possible last week due to circumstances beyond our control. And no, it didn’t involve excessive alcohol. Good guess though.

But that’s the past. In the present, we’ve got a new episode for you and it’s chock full fun, exciting and useful information, discussions, observations and more! That’s right, more!

Topics this week include Thor: The Dark World and it’s recent tie-in with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Married with Children, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, classic sitcoms and a whole lot more! Did we mention all the more! Well, there’s a lot of it.

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the brand new iPad Mini with retina display from Apple and Joe’s pick of the TV series Person of Interest.

Last night we went to an early showing of Thor: The Dark World and there are definitely some split opinions from the Whiskey & Waffles team on this one. In the video after the break, you’ll see WallE’s take on it.

A for me, I will say I didn’t dislike Thor: The Dark World. It is a solid enough super hero movie, along the same lines as Iron Man 3 and certainly better than the abomination that was The Wolverine. There are some fun moments but two things really stood out that got in my way of fully embracing the movie(and don’t worry, I’ll keep it spoiler free).

With E3 just around the corner, the news cycle doesn’t start a few days early as publishers and developers look to get their smaller bytes out just before the flood gates open. It starts a week out. And with that first wave comes a look at LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. In the horde of stories coming out in the E3 before the next generation of console launches, Traveller’s Tales and WB Games were smart to get us these screens early.

The latest shots from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes shows some characters we already knew were coming to the game like Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man and Thor in the staple of Marvel locales New York City and the newly announced Asgard. The crazy thing is Asgard and especially its rainbow bridge look pretty darn beautiful in LEGO. But with all the new visual glory coming soon from the PS4 and XBox One, it’s probably for the best we see these graphics now rather than after the Microsoft and Sony press conferences.

Back in January we reported on the breaking news that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was coming. Yes, we know it was kind of a no brainer but it was great to see it was actually happening! Now we are proud to bring the first official trailer to the Flickcast faithful.

In the trailer below, check out the first official look at LEGO Spider-Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man, Deadpool and Black Widow who will be amongst the “more than 100 memorable characters to choose from, each with their own unique powers and abilities, players are in for a brick-smashing adventure”. Those actual gameplay isn’t shown, one can assume it will probably be similar in style to that of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The trailer also gives a pretty good indicator who one of the game’s big bads is going to be.
