Episode 17 is a benchmark for us, as it’s our first guest and that guest is comics legend Alex Ross. Alex joins us to talk about a favourite subject of both Jason and Brian, the animated series Battle of the Planets.
We discuss our earliest memories of the show, it’s origins, merchandise, further iterations, how it changed Brian’s life (seriously) and Alex describes his experiences playing in the BOTP sand box when he got to produce 12 issues of the comic.
Of course, it’s never easy to stay completely on topic. and the conversation turns to talk of Mego action figures, the fate of Gwen Stacy and the whereabouts of Casey Kasem?
