It’s time for a new podcast! In this episode we kick off the ICBIS Book Club by diving into J.G. Ballard’s classic novel High-Rise and Ben Wheatley’s film adaptation of the book.

We’re back with a round up of the past few week’s big news items. Most importantly, we get pumped about the recent buff guy and girl brawls with our takes on Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and this year’s Wrestlemania. Both were bad, but we at least had fun watching one of them. We also dive into the importance of character and storytelling, why professional wrestling should be a more credible nerd outlet, and get excited about a bunch of new trailers.
Welcome back! In this week’s podcast we down and dirty on the newest season of Daredevil and look forward to this weekend’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. More specifically we dive into how violent these things are and whether or not that’s a good thing.

Hey everyone! Welcome back for the last podcast of the year. We went long to tide you over until we come back in 2016. In short: The Force Awakens came out and we saw it.

On top of our lengthy Star Wars discussion, Dana gives us her top movies of 2015, which sparks some spirited debate. All in all, it’s been a great year, and we’re excited that we’ve been able to attract some great listeners. We’re also excited to see where this dumb thing goes next year, so we hope you come back and check us out in 2016.
