Holy smokes, you guys. Rachelle and Dave saw Endgame (in Dave's case, twice) and they loved it and have lots to say about it. This episode is full of spoilers, so don't listen if you haven't seen Endgame yet. But since the movie made over a billion dollars in the first weekend, most of you probably have. This will be the last episode for awhile as Rachelle and Dave both work on their own creative projects. The next episode will probably be when Spider-Man: Far From Home opens.

Living Between Wednesdays

Episode 171 - Avengers: Endgame

DC's latest superhero movie, Shazam!, hit theatres this week. Dave watched all of it, Rachelle had to leave about half an hour into it because her son was terrified. To make up for it, Rachelle and Dave watched the 1980 camp extravaganza, Flash Gordon. It was fun.

Episode 170 - Shazam! / Flash Gordon

Last week Rachelle and Dave talked about some of the game changing ideas that comic book writers brought to the table. This week they are talking about the opposite of that: big ideas that did basically nothing. Also in this episode: a new (boring) comic book imprint is launched by Axel Alonso, Bill Jemas and some other dudes; very positive early reviews for SHAZAM, and Rachelle's new book is out!

Episode 169 - Game Failures

This week Rachelle and Dave are talking about the game changing ideas that impacted and reshaped the DC and Marvel universes. Ideas like the multiverse and the Rainbow Lanterns. Stuff like that. Also in this episode: a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame dropped, James Gunn is back on Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and Frank Miller and John Romita Jr's Superman: Year One is apparently happening.

Episode 168 - Game Changers

Dave and Rachelle saw Captain Marvel, and they have thoughts about it! Also in this episode: Rachelle celebrated Bucky Barnes' birthday by watching Civil War, Dave watched Grease 2 for no reason other than it rules, and Rachelle reviews the first book releases from DC Zoom and DC Ink.

Episode 167 - Captain Marvel

Rachelle and Dave are getting really sick of winter in Nova Scotia, so they are talking about some of their favourite comic book fictional locations this week. Also in this episode: some Oscar talk, Copra moves to Image Comics, and Rachelle recommends the graphic novel Bloom by Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau.

Episode 166 - Super Hero Vacation Spots

This week Rachelle and Dave talk about their favourite teenage superheroes. Topics include: teams of teen superheroes, solo teen superheroes, who's good at writing superheroes, and what not to do when writing teen superheroes.

Episode 165 - Teens!

Rachelle is away this week but Dave more than makes up for it with an interview with Michel Fiffe! They discuss Copra, Zegas, Bloodstrike, and his new miniseries, G.I. Joe: Sierra Muerte!

Episode 164 - Michel Fiffe

Dave and Rachelle gave into peer pressure this week and watched Venom, which is an actual movie that came out last year. And you know what? It was not bad. Warning: this episode is full of Venom spoilers. Also in this episode: award attention for Black Panther, Liefeld leaves Netflix, and a look at the first releases from TKO Studios.

Episode 163 - VENOM

This week Rachelle and Dave are reminiscing about their first times meeting a real live comic book creator. Also in this episode: thoughts on the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, George Perez's retirement, and Rob Liefeld's latest creation, Major X.

Episode 162 - My First Encounter (with a comic book professional)

This week Rachelle and Dave are joined by the co-creators of Grandway Comics, a brand new line of classic superhero adventure comics, printed on newsprint in glorious full colour! The very talented Halifax-based team of Jeff Knott and Derek Jessome share the art and writing duties on all three of their current titles, and they talk about what inspired them to self-publish their own line of print comics.

Episode 161 - Grandway Comics

It's 2019 and Rachelle and Dave are keeping it positive! This week they run down some comic books, and related movies and tv series, that they are looking forward to this year. They also finally get around to addressing the fact that Stan Lee is no longer with us.

Episode 160 - Excited for 2019!

Happy New Year! Rachelle and Dave come back after a couple of months off to talk about the Aquaman and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movies, which are both in theatres now. Crazy! This episode kicks off a new "season" of the Living Between Wednesdays podcast, which will continue until the release of Avengers: Endgame. Then they will break again for a bit and come back with a bunch of exciting new episodes. Enjoy!

Episode 159 - Aquaman / Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

A combination of way too many time commitments, the comic book industry/fandom bumming them out, and having other creative projects that need attention, Rachelle and Dave are making this their last episode for a few months. But they will be back and better than ever! In this episode, they discuss why they need to take a break, their general feelings about comics right now, what comics they are excited about, and the future plans for this podcast. And also Chris Evans is talked about.

Episode 158 - Takin' a Break

Rachelle and Dave are making good on their promise/threat from last week by talking about comic book annuals this episode! Also: farewell to Norm Breyfogle and Carlos Ezquerra; a first look at the new Hellboy movie (in poster form); Tom Hardy's favourite FORTY MINUTES of Venom were cut; Henry Cavill embarks on a spiritual Instagram journey, and Chris Evans reads Kanye West for filth.

Episode 157 - Annuals
