Like Hanging Out With Geeky Friends

Mike and Jessika take turns researching and informing the other party about weird, specific, and niche comics. That's the substance. It's like finding out one of your friend's has a rabbit hole's worth of intel on a specific thing you don't know about and there is (for me and many other geeks) a very specific joy that comes with exploring such things. M&J also have a couple of fun check-in segments at the top and bottom of the show that expand to larger geeky topics and goings-on. As their blurb says: "Come for the history, stay for the swearing." I also keep returning to hear Mike's varaitions on their introductions, like saying they "throw elbows and natural 1s" or like calling Jessika the "Cleric of chaos." That in and of itself should give you a good vibe check for how this podcast rolls (figuratively and literally). Deep cuts and hot takes abound. Also, LOVE the theme music.

A well made, accessible listen for any fan of comics and pop culture!

What I particularly enjoy about Jessika and Mike’s show, is that they talk about comics and pop culture in such a thoughtful and well researched way, that it makes their bi-weekly topics very accessible. Even to someone like me who is definitely novice when it comes to comic book history.
