League of Ordinary Gentlemen Podcast

If you’re going to be enjoying WandaVision on Disney+ this weekend, you can get a little taste of our interpretation of Vision and his fellow Avengers in this classic Oddio Comic: Avengers #60, featuring the wedding of The Wasp and her “secret” suitor!

All 4 Gents are here to talk about Wonder Woman 1984, The Mandalorian some more, and other things we streamed in 2020, and are streaming now, and will be streaming soon. I mean, it’s not like we can go to the movies. Or do anything, really. But at least Josh is back!

The Gents wrap up 2020 and try to keep it positive, which basically means we talked a lot about The Mandalorian, because why not?

Christmas classic performed by Lex Luthor, Luke Cage, The Black Panther, Damian Hellstrom, The Hulk, Metamorpho, Bill McMahon, Carol Ferris, The DC Comics Narrator, Cutter, Hawkeye and Digby Masters. Merry Christmas from The League!

The Gents pass the burning Yule Log in the latest War On…Holiday Specials! We Cover The Simpsons Christmas Special, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol, Frosty The Snowman, A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Garfield Christmas, The Year Without a Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story, and more. Plus, we get ready for the 2021 edition!

We enjoyed our talk with Flint so much, we decided to add a few more minutes for you fans who might be interested in his extensive NFL knowledge. Listen for his take on the some of the greatest players of all time, and which Transformers he equated them with while writing Transformers: The Movie.

The Gents get in the holiday spirit with their take on George C. Scott’s “A Christmas Carol,” and we take a deep dive, beneath the Ghost of Christmas Present’s robe!

The League had the ultimate pleasure of talking to the “almost famous” geek icon Flint Dille, author of The Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches with G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, and The Transformers as well as author of our childhoods, and keeper of hidden geek memorabilia.

The Gents take on two different versions of the Kaiju classic the oft-rented, but seldom-revisited Rodan, also known as “Radon,” and also known as “The Bloodthirsty Hawks,” which is Dursin’s new band name.

The Gents give their take on a different version of an old classic, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, and how Christopher Reeves was born to play Superman, and how Brando wanted his part to be a bagel. It was a pretty weird production.

The League attempts to de-stress from world events by tackling one of the all-time classic adventure-comedy films, Back to the Future. Even though some people think it’s a tragedy, but you can listen and figure it out for yourself.

Sam Furst of Monsters are Good returns to help us tackle the Hammer Film/Dragoon Thrills/Shaw Bros. co-production of The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. Sam told us the movie was “pretty wacky,” and that’s about as accurate of a review as you are going to get.

In the spirit of the season, the Gents take on the classic 1931 Boris Karloff version of  Frankenstein.  This podcast is ALIVE, ALIVE!!!… with greatness! No, just kidding. It’s mediocre at best. You can grab it from Amazon and figure out if we're on the money here.

In the spirit of the season, and as a prelude to our next League Vs. podcast, listen to this classic "oddio comic," our interpretation of The Frankenstein Monster #9 - "The Vampire Killers!" Listen as two classic monsters battle... to the undeath! The Frankenstein Monster #9 can be found in the pages of the Essential Monster of Frankenstein Vol. 1.

The Gents tackle another childhood favorite: the 1986 animated classic Transformers: The Movie, not one of those horrible Michael Bay ones. Listen to it… until the day till all are one. It’s ponderous, man.

John and Dursin pour one out for the classic action movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. And you should take a drink every time Dursin says a scene is one of his favorites.

It’s October, so we decided to pick one of our favorite horror classics to analyze… to deeeeeaaaaaaaath, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn. Listen as we give our take on this horror/comedy/sequel/reboot/requel.  It’ll be groovy.

This week, The Gents tackle Men in Black III, Watch-Along-style. Just sit back and enjoy, and… We’ll take it from here.

The Gents tackle a big secret: the impact and intricacies of  Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars, the gateway into comics for some of us!

The League tackles another favorite from their childhood; the OG “007” himself, Sir Thomas Sean Connery. We must be dreaming.

The Gents went LIVE on August 21st from the ONCE Ballroom Virtual Venue. We talked the movies of the Summer of 1990, John Hunt showed us how he works his lettering magic, some opened some cool toys, and answered some trivia questions! Thanks to ONCE for letting us do this. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed doing it.

The Gents give their take on the highest-grossing, and most bloated, Trek movie of them all, Star Trek Into Darkness.  Hey, at least it has Robocop.

Continuing our Kirk Watch-Along Series, The Gents tackle the 2009 Star Trek reboot. The very same movie that inspired John to get a Blu-Ray Player, Clay to download it from iTunes, and all of us to make several trips to Burger King in order to get the promotional Star Trek glasses, which broke easily and possibly caused cancer. But the movie is excellent!
