In the wake of the final episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’, my friend of many, many years, Otter Disaster, remarked on the Twitter (you really should follow the Major Spoilers crew, we are delightful) that I should be happy that Ted Mosby dumped Victoria, otherwise she might have ended up dead at the end of the series. (Also: Spoilers.) Still, though, as much as I hate to admit it, the Otter has a point: I am glad that Victoria didn’t end up with Ted, just as much as I’m glad that Nightwing and Starfire didn’t actually go through…
Of all the podcasts in all the world, 1942’s Casablanca had to be talked about on this episode of Zach on Film.
This week, Stephen and Matthew are ready to take on the gods of thunder, lighting, and rain as they dare to open the cover of Big Trouble in Little China #1 and read the words inside… BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA #1 (W) Eric Powell (A) Brian Churilla (CA) Eric Powell, Joe Quinones Publisher: BOOM! STUDIOS WHY WE LOVE IT: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is one of our favorite cult-classic films because it mashed together ’80s action and supernatural fantasy movies with ’70s kung-fu flicks. This is the first time any new BIG TROUBLE stories have been told, and…
During the 1980s, Marvel Comics writers began using a plot device that any Doctor Doom appearance that didn’t fit into their interpretation of the character would be explained away as a Doombot, masquerading as the real deal. I remember thinking how clever the idea was, but little did my 13-year-old self know what horror awaited us on the other side of the Retcon Chasm. These days, writers don’t even have to create their own retcon explanations, as we fans will do it for them, leading to a peculiar situation of scurrlious fandom theories being widely believed to be TRUE. Before…

A number of people write to us asking what gear we use to record and produce our podcasts. There are a number of ways you can record your shows and we’ve created a handy page that outlines some possible gear choices depending on what type of show you are going to produce. The Major Spoilers Podcast Gear list can be found here. I’ll start working on a list of gear that we use/recommend for video, based on what we use very soon.
Having worked in a comic store for more years than I care to consider, I’ve heard the question hundreds of times: What’s a good book to start getting into comics? Often times, I find that the answer has a lot to do with the person asking, but I’m usually pretty confident pointing out Neil Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’, or for superhero enthusiasts, a little of Kurt Busiek’s ‘Astro City.’ But today, after new store employee Alex and I got to discussing comic books she enjoys, I actually got to go to the book that I like to recommend to the appropriate weirdos:…
This week on The Want List – We’re still really jazzed about Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so we’re featuring a number of products direct from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a nerd of long-standing, I’m required by contract to never admit to liking or knowing anything about sports. Fortunately my attorney, Miss Van Pelt, informs me that the contract was never notarized, allowing me to pretty much do whatever the heck I feel like, so long as I don’t curse, spit, or pull hair. That lack of rules carries over into many realms of fiction, especially the game of Quidditch, whose rules don’t particularly seem to gel into a real coherent game (but do lend themselves to some pretty spectacular CGI work, so it all balances out.) Here at…
I’m proud to say that, thanks to a mutual love of the many names of David Ryder during the episode ‘Space Mutiny’, my kid has become an aficionado of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. This is a point of pride with me, even after the point where she wondered how they made such realistic robots back in the 1990s (and to be honest, the personalities of Servo and Crow are such that it’s understandable she might make that mistake.) Last night, during ‘The Final Sacrifice’, known also as the finest hour of Zap Rowsdower, we started brainstorming about what sort of…
This Week on the Want List…a Munchkin Kickstarter, Funko and DC get cubed, a LEGO documentary, and so much more!
