In Married Watching Cartoons, Jon and Maggie take turns introducing the other to a cartoon they may not be as familiar with.  This episode, Sean Ross from Secret Wars and the Bat Pod basically wouldn't let us do this episode without him, so here he his!  We talk about quoting lines from cartoons as a means of seduction, muse about what Sean's baseball career would have been like if he'd never seen this episode, decide how a made-up-for-this-episode cyborg stacks up against other cartoon villains in and out of the Marvel Universe and cast our own Spider-Friends!

Merry Marvel MARCHing Society 2021: Fantastic Four Acts of Vengeance

Jon and Maggie are watching cartoons while remaining married the entire time!   Maggie's favorite thing ever is Pokemon while Jon knows it mostly as a collectible card game that he never played but complained about a lot.  How will Jon feel about The Fortune Hunters?  How many Pokemon can Maggie name in 30 seconds?  Prepare for trouble.  Better make it double.

Married Watching Cartoons! Episode 2: Pokemon!

Join Maggie and Jon and they match wits with the world's greatest (10 year old) detective!  Maggie reads Jon The Case of The Two-fisted Poet.  Will Leroy lose Sally forever to a snobby kid who went to school in England?  Then Jon reads Maggie The Case of the Wounded Toe where the weird kid who keeps teeth in a jar gets shot n the foot.  The 1960's everyone!     Bad, Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce cover Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subReinaDelCid 

MWC Presents: An Encyclopedia Brown Mystery Minisode

You have received a new transmission from the Rod Pod. Jon and Maggie are trapped in a spacecraft shaped like Rodimus' head with only their cats and occasional issues of IDW's Transformers comics that the Autobot Sky Lynx periodically drops by.  No one knows why any of this is happening.   This month, Sky Lynx has brought Robots in Disguise issues 7 to 9, which includes the first part of the Combiners Wars.  Things get tense on the political front as moral compromises get considered and the environment of Cybertron reveals its biggest threat yet!   Send questions and comments to marriedwatchingcartoons@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter: @MWC_Podcast  and @maggientherain  

MWC Presents The Rod Pod: Episode 9

Welcome to our new format!  Jon and Maggie are taking turns introducing the other to cartoons that the other may not be as familiar with. On our debut episode, Jon introduces Maggie to the Smurfs!  Take time out of the craziness of real life for some escapism.  Jon brings in King Smurf, an episode which *checks notes* shows the Smurfs descend into full-on fascism as half of them develop a cult-like worship of one of their own which almost destroys them all. ...   Look, we recorded this awhile ago, we swear.     Send comments and show suggestions to: marriedwatchingcartoons@gmail.com

Married Watching Cartoons! Episode 1: The Smurfs

We close out 2020 and this phase of our podcast with the comic that we nearly started with.  Listen for one last comics hurrah before we change over to covering cartoons in 2021.  Reed Richards and Sue Storm get married but not before having to deal with Doctor Doom's nefarious wedding gift and a blind guy driving a bomb into New York Harbor.  Listen in to say "Good Riddance 2020" with us!

Fantastic Four Annual #3 Year End Spectacular

Happy Holidays from Married with Comics!  Clinton Robison from Coffee and Comics as well as Fanfilm Fridays stops by to discuss one of his favorites and ours, the cleverly named, He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special!  Celebrate the holiday of your choice while we dive into this 55 minute long toy commercial in which the Evil Lord of Destruction gets transformed by the Christmas spirit into something almost...nice?  

Special Holiday Episode! He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special with special guest Clinton Robison

It's Halloween, so that means Mephisto has compelled us into a spooky crossover yet again, this time with Tim Price and Sean from Secret Wars and Beyond podcast.  We cover Tomb of Dracula #44 and Doctor Strange #14 as the Lord of Vampires and Sorcerer Supreme fight to the death! Stick around as we veer off into tangents about Brahm Stokers' novel, God in comic books, and the 1970s.  Happy Halloween everyone! In addition to the Secret Wars and Beyond podcast, make sure to catch Resurrections: An Adam Warock and Thanos Podcast as well as Unpacking the Power of Power Pack for the rest of the crossover.

Mephisto vs the Podcasters Three: God, Dracula, and everything else

Jon matches wits with everyone's favorite 10 year old detective, and almost gets too distracted by how violent life was for the youth of the '60s to solve the case. Will he recover in time?

Fireside Favorites: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Stomach Puncher

New episode!  Mephisto casts the dastardly Spell of Comics Apathy on us and only Tim Price, the Podcrasher can save us with one of our favorite comics of all time, Bone #10.  You'd be a stupid, stupid rat creature to miss this one!

Bone: The Great Cow Race with special guest, Tim Price

Jon reads an Encyclopedia Brown mystery to Maggie and she tries to solve it.  Jon remembers this one from childhood and thinks the clue will be too obscure for Maggie to solve.  Is he right, or will Maggie's repeat viewings of QI win her the day?

Fireside Favorites: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Spinning Egg

The world may be a garbage fire, but at least there's a new Rod Pod!  Jon and Maggie read through and discuss IDW Transformers More Than Meets the Eye #6: Interiors, where we deal with severe PTSD, depression, and  someone accidentally getting shot in the head.  MTMTE is the funny on purpose one, remember.  In Robots in Disguise #6 Syndromica, Orion Pax, Hardhead, and some lizard guy named Garnak encounter the fruition of Shockwave's ancient plan.  And Pax takes on Monstructor because that's how he rolls.  With The Touch, Less Than Meets the Eye, and Intrigue!  

MWC Presents: The Rod Pod episode 8

Maggie Reads Jon an Encyclopedia Brown mystery and he tries to solve it.  Can you solve the case of the Balloon Man, a case that has perplexed even the Chief of Police of Idaville before Jon can?  (I wouldn't get too worked up.  Chief Brown is stalwart and true, but his deductive reasoning skills are dangerously lacking, considering his job).
