It’s Finally Friday! Join Major Spoilers EIC, Stephen Schleicher as he talks with you about the week that was, in this live call-in show!
This week, a number of topics are discussed including, what is your go to movie when on the road?
In all my years of reading comics, there have been a great many completely inexplicable moments: A talking duck walking out of the swamp; The Legion of Super-Heroes rejecting Polar Boy but accepting Bouncing Boy; Batman not dying horribly in his first outing… But of them all, the one that most makes me say “What” (in that flat tone of voice that the Tenth Doctor used for inexplicable events) is Wonder Woman and Superman as a couple. I understand the basic premise, but simply *can* *not* believe either character committing to such a strange relationship, leading to today’s utterly baffling query……
Top Five Happy Places Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five. Everybody has a happy place – a happy place – to go. This week we run down our top five happy places we like to go when we need to turn our frowns upside down.
The penultimate issue of Witchblade is here, and Matthew and Stephen review it, just for your, our awesome listeners.
It’s nearly October, the month which (where I live) the leaves begin to fall, decorations appear and thousands of banal conversations are had about pumpkin spice and how Christmas ads start earlier every year. It’s the last part that scares me the most, as much as any monster, murderer or fictional Beastie ever could. Well, maybe not ANY, as the final scene of ‘Paranormal Activity’ still creeps me out, as does Mano Tiki Tia from that one Scooby-Doo episode, leading to today’s unnerving query… The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) only asks that we don’t play the “NOTHIN’ SCARES ME!”…
All the most iconic superhumans have a symbol right on the front of their costume: Superman’s S; Wonder Woman’s eagle/dubyas, Batman’s varying bats, Spider-Man’s creepy ol’ bug. But what about the best of the rest? Welcome to Ten Things!
IT’S NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! #NCBD The best day of the week just got a lot better with a new round of awesome comics arriving in stores this week. Staff members at Major Spoilers are here to help you with your comic book selection this week, with their roundup of comics they recommend.
This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast: A special episode as Matthew and Stephen discuss all things Doctor Who and DC related (really, we didn’t plan this). Everything from Secret Six, and the Four Doctors #5 to Gotham on FOX, and Greg Berlanoti’s busy schedule!

This week, our Major Spoilers Munchkin Land Dice Masters Tournament continues! Four players enter, only one will emerge victorious! Rob and Brian square off to play with multiple sets of Marvel Dice Masters in this Major Spoilers Video presentation.
Thanks to BBC America’s barrage of Doctor Who (including some classic stories, even if they are the Fourth Doctor) has me reminiscing about the denizens of TARDIS past. I found great joy in the Tenth Doctor’s interactions with Rose Tyler, but still loved how he played off Martha Jones. The Eleventh Doctor had great chemistry with Clara Oswald, but also some great episodes featuring Rory and Amelia Pond-Williams, while the Fourth Doctor had something like six classic companion combinations in his day. I’ve even come around to enjoying the Sixth Doctor’s lesser companion, Melanie Bush these days, which leads us…
In these days of streaming media, one doesn’t have to wait for one’s favorite film to show up on HBO or (perish forbid) TBS like we did when I was a kid. These days, you can find most any seldom seen movie you would ever want to watch, as long as you know whether it’s on Netflix, Hulu, or iTunes, but there are still films that can be elusive. Last night, I caught a showing of ‘Midnight Cowboy’ on cable, reminding me of how long it’s been since I encountered it (Still holds up, by the way), and reminding me…
