Podcasts - THE LEAGUE OF EXTREMELY ORDINARY GENTLEMEN, volume 9 issue 1: Prodigal Son of a Bitch

What will happen to the League now that Cyrus has returned? Well, time will tell, but for now, it's business as usual only with the old guard back in the fold. This week, along with some Cyrus catch-up time and the regular run down of the news, we get into a full spoilers discussion on Season 3 of The Walking Dead and Season 1 of Arrow. Oh, and what's this? A new reoccurring Kayla segment? What's not to love? Check it....

Nerd audio complaint: Lighten up on the compression a bit. It's a bit distracting at times.

(Not that it effects the quality of the podcast, they're always fun to listen to. Just an esoteric complaint)

Welcome back Cyrus!

I missed 666 Park Avenue. I was waiting for someone else to tell me how it was first. Looks like I waited too long.

I've only watched the first two eps of Misfits season 4, but I'm not terribly thrilled so far.

oh, yeah- you guys mentioned how great Homeland is (and it is very, very awesome)... have you guys revisited Dexter this season? The first episode was s'right, but after that it has returned to its former glory. Give it a peek if you haven't.

As far as genre guilty pleasure TV, I have to admit to liking 666 Park Avenue. I know it's been cancelled, but I think it'll get to finish its first season, so I'm happy about that. I'm curious to if any of the LEOG watches this show, too.

Again, welcome back Cyrus!

Another great episode of the show. You guys need to revisit the Walking Dead conversation after next week's midseason finale.

Great episode as always!

This episode was great guys, its a true testament to your group and how close you are that you can have a member come back after being gone for so long and you pick right back up without missing a beat. And Cyrus we're all sorry for what happened and we kept you in our thoughts, but we're very glad you're back.

Why do people keep saying The Lion King is based on Hamlet? I cannot see any similarities, except the uncle killing the father.

Any thoughts on Misfits(UK) series 4 ?

Looking forward to next week's LEOG, wherein the show ends with the League repeating "THE LEAGUE... THE LEAGUE... THE LEAGUE..." for 30 seconds, or until someone cracks up laughing.

62:36 Hahahahaha!!!!
Yeah, you should've done more of a high snoring sound to be more Predator and less J-Horror.

Thanks for adding to an already funny gag Cyrus!

I'm really happen that Cyrus is back.

Considering that my laptop just shit itself and died, I'm thinking that the technical problems came from inside Garageband rather than the mics.

Omnibus: Seems to have been a glitch in the audio... It's happening on my feed, too, and I think a couple of other people have mentioned it as well... (I think it's kinda funny. :)

ha ha i was playing civilization 5 with volume down and listening to this weeks LEOG. at the very end when everyone says "long live the league" as usual; i had a rather funny glitch.

due to my game running, and the podcast ending requiring some process to undertake, it kept repeating the last second... the league, the league, the league, the league. like a broken record skipping. lol.

I hope the Green Lantern news means that Jon Stewart will be in the Justice League movie.

Re-listening to the first part of the podcast, I want to correct Harris and Cyrus. Both Weak and Strong Atheism can be "evangelized" (devangelized is more accurate). For example, the New Atheist movement, kicked off by Sam Harris, actively spread the idea of doubt and Skepticism. Also, whether you are a Weak Atheist or a Strong Atheist(or an Atheist at all) depends on how God is defined. Some Gods may possibly exist but there is no convincing evidence to believe they do. Other Gods cannot exist because they are logically contradictory.

Yea, I like the Elseworlds comparison. What if Dale wasn't there, how would it affect Andrea?
November 25, 2012 at 5:26 AM, Dr. Detfink said ...

Aye I agree with Fungus. Ghost Rider, Sons of X-Archy, Super rapist are such prime examples of an exec getting in the face of Singer or whomever and saying, "Well our demographics..." but as so many more successful films have proved, you don't have to re-invent the wheel when it comes to adapting comics. The audience isn't stupid, they know going in, this is a fictional world. The key is making the socio-political statement that defined the BEST comic book stories balance with all the cool character defining moments aka ass-kicking that we couldn't stop trying to draw as a kid.

Still, I do think every movie is a product of its time. I don't think you can get to Avengers today without those baby steps. Today's audience is very cynical. They NEED something to compare it to, so they feel they've upgraded in some way, that being story, special effects, etc.

And Pete if I can tag team with you on the "budget" excuse. This is not the 70s anymore where to get something made, you needed Pedophile pics on the producer...

That's why I can't forgive Walking Dead Season 2 (and I've tried). Don't get me wrong, I admit I am enjoying Season 3 very much so far but Season 2 is very forgettable. You can watch the first, last episode of Season 2 and two "something actually happened" episodes in between and not miss a beat. Don't forget that mid season split that is becoming trendy with AMC. Ugh....No, they could have gotten off the damn farm quicker.

That being said, what seems to work about Walking Dead is that they kept the comic book universe, but are doing almost an "elseworlds" version of the characters and storylines. Sometimes it works, sometimes it flops.
