 PTG Episode 14 Hour 2: Slackin' WITH 'The Man' [52:15m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (52)

PTG Episode 14 Hour 2 kicks off with a clip from a ‘just-eh’ Marvel movie, Daredevil–yeah, the one with Ben Affleck, THAT one. Thing is, this clip isn’t in the movie–its an outtake from the DVD’s gag reel, highlighting Jon Favreau’s improv skills. I think it’s funny, certainly, but it does lose something without the visual of Affleck barely containing his laughter as Favreau goes off.

No doubt, the highlight of this hour is our chat with ‘The Man’ from the “Slacker and the Man” podcast, which you can find on Switchpod and iTunes. ‘The Man’ talks about the origins of “Slacker and the Man”, the aspects of their show that make them stand out among the many geek-related podcasts out there (including this one), their ongoing work with Team Fanbabe, and their future plans, including a second live audience show on the Friday of the FX Show, April 17th. It was a pleasure to have him on and we hope to have him back soon.

Daredevil is the subject of the Marvel Comics Spotlight in Hour 2, specifically issue #117, part 2 of the “Return of the King” chapter in the ongoing ‘Lady Bullseye’ storyline. The artwork above is NOT from Daredevil #117, but rather from an upcoming issue of Daredevil where the book returns to its original numbering, starting at #500. In discussing this single issue, we hit on a lot of the work Ed Brubaker has done on this book since he took over from Brian Michael Bendis several years ago, and a lot of the characters he’s worked with, including Dakota North, Iron Fist, Matt Murdock’s wife, Milla, and Lady Bullseye, using this image for this week seemed to fit. Plus, it’s a freakin’ awesome piece of artwork by Marko Djurdjevic, who has been doing covers for Daredevil for a few months now.
