Literature Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:30:00 -0500 Jeff and Graeme @ savagecritic No Welcome to Wait, What, a comics podcast for the Savage Critics website! This is our prologue to Episode 10, and by "prologue," we mean, "stuff Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talked about for almost twenty minutes before Skype crashed." In it, we discuss the weather, RSS code, Itunes, and Jeff unsuccessfully tries to stalk a fan of the podcast. It's a terrifying peek behind the curtain and utterly unrelated to the topic of comic books. But a couple of cheap jokes made us decide it might be fun to include. If you want to skip it, we totally understand and we're listing installments 1 and 2 of Episode 10 as something separate. If you do stick around we hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening! 19:27 Wait What, Savage Critic, comic books, graphic novels, Graeme McMillan, Jeff Lester, weather, skype, stalking http://www.savagecritic.com http://theworkingdraft.com/media/podcasts/WaitWhat10point1.mp3 In the first of two installments for Episode 10, it's Scott Pilgrim vs. The Podcast, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Scott Pilgrim: the Movie, Scott Pilgrim: the animation, Scott Pilgrim: the book and Scott Pilgrim: the box office. It's everything any self-respecting Scott-a-holic would want...and probably then some. I'd like to say we avoided the inevitable follow-up discussion of what all this might mean for the future of comic book movies...but we kinda didn't. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy it...and thanks for listening!
