    MSP#42: Max…SuperMAX!

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherOctober 1, 2008Updated:December 31, 20134 Comments5 Mins Read

    Major Spoilers #42

    UPDATE:  There’s an audio error due to editing, where Matthew is out of sync for the first 45 minutes of the show.  I won’t be able to fix this until later tonight, when I’m done with my video work.

    This time around, we lament the loss of a new imprint, some old friends, and Stephen’s patience. Meanwhile, Rodrigo’s in the timestream, Stephen’s in Free Fall, and Matthew’s in Tower City, while Skrull Bryan decides that if he can’t take over the world, he’ll at least be the lord of Bogey’s drive-in… Plus: we know your mama dresses you funny, so why not win sompin for wearing a funny suit? It’s all this and Cellblock Four as Major Spoilers provides the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

    An international space race ensues when an asteroid containing enough precious metals to shift the balance of power on Earth is detected on a path through our solar system. When the U.S. Team arrives on the asteroid, they discover the remains of an abandoned alien mining camp. But when the U.S. ship is sabotaged and crew members go missing, it becomes clear they’re not alone on the asteroid. Stranded, the remaining crew members must band together to survive the monstrous inhabitants on the asteroid, find a way off the rock and save Earth which now sits directly in the path of destruction. In the process, they discover a deep dark secret contained within the asteroid. It holds the key to both their destruction and to their salvation. But unearthing it will change the fate of humanity forever.

    Corrective Measures from Arcana Studio
    Less than 30 miles off the coast of Florida is an island. And if you’re one of the few that get to see it… it’s likely you will never leave. This is San Tiburon. Home to beautiful white sandy shores, crystal-blue waters… and the world’s most dangerous maximum-security penitentiary. For 185 of the world’s most dangerous super-powered criminals, it is their final home. They will reside within these walls until their sentence is served… or they meet their end. There are no escapes. There are no bargains or compromises. There is only San Tiburon.

      Loved this episode!

      An important thing, the swearing (which fits well into a comic podcast well, and should be kept up) will need an [explicit] tag in iTunes or they could remove your feed from their store.

      For advertising on TV, I love the way Marvel show many many clips at the user in fast succession at the start of all Marvel related movies. Put that little bit in the 4pm-9pm time bracket and they’ll sell more comics. Putting ads on TV costs moneys, but you’ll get more back with extra sales. Here in Australia, the market probably isn’t that big; I don’t see any ads of any kind unless it’s where comic fans already go.

      Matthew’s show intros are the best thing ever.

      I should listen to the whole show before commenting. The Aryan Brotherhood is real.

      FROM THE WIKI!

      The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as the AB or The Brand, is a white prison gang numbering about 15000 members in and out of prison. In March 2006, four leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood were indicted for numerous crimes, including murder, conspiracy, drug trafficking, racketeering, and dog fighting. According to the FBI, although the gang makes up less than 1% of the prison population, it is responsible for up to 26% of murders in the federal prison system.
