Mike is on assignment down at the J’ore so Alex returns to the Bantha’s Den for another round of STAR WARS chit-chat, this time with Josh Flanagan. Why do the prequels make people so angry? Is George
Lucas really more machine, now, than man? Speaking of which, what’s the deal with Lobot anyway? If you aren’t sick of STAR WARS yet you will be by the end of this one.

No, it’s NOT more readings of the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, it’s plain-old Alex and Mike yakking it up alone in the Lair, just like old times. We address the fact that Tony’s tour-de-force is gonna be a tough one to follow up on, and it’s almost like we don’t even try. Hear about our recent con experiences (TCAF, The Wild Pig Show in NJ), seeing Marvel’s The Avengers, getting cable installed in the house, adopting children and changing their names to something more suited to their social standing, and murdering buckets full of frogs.

It’s The Ink Banthas Show! Mike is wrapped up in house buying and moving mayhem, so it’s a Very Special All Star Wars Episode this week with Alex and guest host: Pete the Retailer. Hopefully this will become a recurring feature, as I (Mike) really enjoyed listening to the two of them talk about everybody’s favorite trilogy (and, I guess, uh, the prequels too). They make some very sound points, especially in picking apart Luke’s “plan” to save Han from Jabba’s clutches. Have a listen!

Friend of the Show, Julia Wertz returns triumphantly to The Lair to discuss a variety of topics. One, a story Mike has about his bike commute which Julia rates a B-. Two, a discussion about Hollywood adaptations of our comics, which Julia rates a B+. And three, a lengthy discussion of Brozillians, Food-Tubes, Porky-Pigging, and Vajazzlin’, which gets straight A++++’s from all of us. Seriously, what have The Youngs got to deal with in this day and age, where the pressure’s on to have perfectly bleached, waxed, and diamond-encrusted nether-regions? We should all feel lucky to be so old!

An experiment this week: what kind of podcast can the fellas record when one of them (me) has just awoken from an impromptu nap? The answer: a pretty OK one, I think! We give sort of a half-answer to a listener question about popular webcomics, claiming we don’t spend much time on the show discussing comics, and then proceed to spend an entire hour talking about comics. In addition to webcomics, there’s the upcoming MoCCA show, and Alex’s Special Guest Status. We get quite in-depth discussing some recent Rob Liefeld news, breaking down both the definition of the word “Hipster”, but also asking why Liefeld gets such a bad rap. But, it’s not all comics, fear not! Alex tells us about the days when he used to be a morbid reader of books about serial killers, and Mike introduces us to a new term he just learned: Porky Pigging. What does it mean when you say “Oh, I was porky-pigging the other day”? Listen, and find out!

“The Famous Panther”, iFanboy’s Josh Flanagan joins us once again in The Lair to hear all about Mike’s recent trip to San Francisco (expect plenty of griping about crazy San Francisco street people, naturally) and the Game Developers Conference he attended. Plus, hear Mike’s big announcment: after 13 years, he’s saying goodbye to New York City and relocation to The Jersey Shore (or, The J’hore, as he hopes to re-brand it). Will this big move change the tried and true dynamic of The Ink Panthers Show? Only time will tell. Also: a recent trip to the Empire State Building, and concerns about King Kong attacks.
