Face Front, True Believers! Illegal Machine, Mister Fixit and Diabolu Frank have been podcasting for one week shy of a year, and with other plans for next week, we decided to devote nearly an hour to fellating ourselves like the ribless circle jerks we are on the show’s “secret origins” and such, plus we talk Comicpalooza 2015. Then, it’s been many, many moons since our last substantial Marvel Mail Bag dive on this podcast, so we devote the better part of two hours in dialogue with you, our beloved listeners. And by “dialogue” we mean shenanigans like Frank going on an epic length rant against Superman based on Kyle Benning inoffensively offering a few modest corrections to our off-the-cuff talk about ’90s Man of Steel stories. Frank isn’t on meds, but that one is Exhibit “A.” Excelsior!
As you can tell, we love a fierce conversation and a pretty picture, so why don’t you socialize with us, either by leaving a comment on this page or…
- Tweet us as a group @rolledspine, or individually as Diabolu Frank & Illegal Machine. Fixit don’t tweet.

Ghostbusters? Superman? Man, Frank doesn’t give a shit who he pisses off today!
I don’t know why Mr. Fixit doesn’t change his name to Mr. Fuck-it because that seems to be the approach he takes to every episode and conversation you guys have. That’s not a complaint, by the way.
The ten minutes of you guys talking about Slimer being the ghost of John Belushi and Fixit’s impression of Slimer/Schwarzenegger was the best podcasting I’ve heard in months. Amazing stuff.
The credible Jim Belushi film that you were struggling to remember was–

Well, that was something of a Superman rant in the middle of this episode. Blistering!
I will admit that even I stopped reading Superman books in the late 90s and only began reading them again when Geoff Johns/Gary Frank came onto the book. There was a lot of garbage in there.
But I actually think the Byrne stuff was good, reinvigorating a moribund franchise.
And thanks for the shout out early on. I don’t think my schedule – both work and family – would ever make podcasting something possible on a consistent basis.
I do love this show as, like you said, it sounds like conversations I have with buddies. And as a someone who doesn’t have much deep Marvel knowledge, it is great to hear you guys riff on the classic stuff.

At age 16, I really rated Real Men with Jim Belushi and John Ritter. There’s every chance it actually sucks. I can’t think of a better role/performance he’s had in movies though.
“Siskoid’s Blog of Geekery is pretty popular”? I don’t accept your premise.
