It’s Finally Friday! Join Major Spoilers EIC, Stephen Schleicher and enjoy a drink and talk about the week that was.
Batman has always had it right: Get yourself an impressive car, and regardless of whether or not you have superpowers, you can be considered the best of the best. Indeed, the Batmobile and it’s requisite air and sea counterparts are some of the most iconic bits of bat-regalia, and have been widely duplicated. (Green Arrow’s Arrow-plane gets extra points for the bad pun.) Here at Major Spoilers, the podcast crew follow the trend as best we can, with my red Chrysler, Stephen’s blue jeep and Rodrigo’s Yaris-that-transforms-into-a-robot-frog-or-at-least-that’s-his-story, which leads us to today’s vehicular query… The MS-QOTD (pronounced “shee-vuh-row-lut”) still wants…
How involved should creators be when their work is adapted for a new medium? Can we cut it out with the hosts already and let award winners give the speeches they want to give? Those topics and your comments all on this episode!
Which clone is it again? What color is the dress? Who were those two running down the highway? Matthew and Stephen dive into one of these topics as they take a look at Orphan Black #1 from IDW Publishing.
I admit it: I’m a child of the 1980s. I vividly remember the hype and hullaballoo surrounding ‘The Dark Knight Returns’, and was wildly excited to finally get my hands on a copy of the collected ‘Watchmen.’ I was excited about Batman in a way I haven’t been very often, and even though neither series ends particularly well, I thought they were appropriately transformative that their dystopian approaches work. For all my complaints about the new version of Battlestar Galactica, it was orders of magnitude more popular than the feathered-hair-ancient-astronauts of my youth, and even the darker Volume 4 Legion…
Top Five Reasons to Live in Kansas 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. Even with all the goofiness going on with state politics, your hosts have each come up with five reasons to live in Kansas.
Recently, all my friends on social media have been buzzing and wanting to get my opinion on the new Power Rangers short film, with more than one person telling me that this was the Power Rangers movie that they’d be willing to go see. For my part, I like bits of the movie, with the caveat that it seems to be a parody of grimdark reboots that, by design, is not really Power Rangers at all. Indeed, if you listed all the things that I NEVER want to see full of blood, sex, cursing and the blue/orange filters, Power Rangers…
My grandma used to say “There are a lot of fish in the sea.” The sheer variety of tuna, tripe and coelacanths, however, pales in comparison with the sheer number of students and affiliates of Xavier’s School for Gifted Children. Buckle up, Faithful Spoilerites. These X-Men stories get complicated… Welcome to Ten Things!

The topic of ownership vs. renting has come up again and again in our private discussions at the Major Spoilers HQ. Is it better to rent the large appliance or own it outright? Lease the car or buy it when the value drops once you drive off the lot? Digital rental subscription service or owning the physical copy of a comic book? The list goes on and on, and in some cases arguments can be made that one is better than the other, which brings us to the Major Spoilers Poll of the Week that spun off from an email…
