PTG Episode 144 is brought to you by Heroes Landing. Our favorite comic store in Clermont has a birthday coming up, and we want to spread the word about what’s going to be a great party. Head over to their Facebook Fan Page for all the details on the event, which is going on September 18th, and that’s not all they’ve got going on. Todd and Stu love serving up cake and “refreshments” whenever a major title debuts, and the next one up is Uncanny X-Force, coming Wednesday, October 6th! Marvel has declared that day “Uncanny X-Force Day”–no, we’re not kidding, check out the image below, and make plans to come out and celebrate. Just don’t expect your work to give you time off for it …
It’s our first episode back after a week-long break, so for this, the first of two end-of-summer episodes, we brought in The Man from Slacker and the Man and Stu Cohen from Heroes Landing to sit in and help bring the laughs. In this 80-minute edition we cover Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman

I finally got around to listening to this episode! I will have to agree that Machete was a more fun and overall better movie than The Expendables. I made the “XD” emoticon face during the movie many times. I think having a smaller number of stars led to the benefit of the structure of the dialogue and pacing in Machete.
Oh, and Michelle Rodriguez is smokin hot in this movie.

Kent, would you agree that ‘Machete’ should be recognized as truly ‘Manly’ cinema, as you and Shawn have defined it? Because in my mind, if this were anime and not live action, it would most certainly qualify as ‘manime’!

Absolutely! In fact, it might even be manlier than The Expendables! It’s a tough call, but Danny Trejo’s titular character does possess all the traits of a tragic, violent hero like Kenshiro, even if their attitudes are different.
