Then they get into the What's Up With Paul segment which includes some talk about the new Pacific Rim movie and cartoon series. Then the meat of the show.

It's summer! Celebrate with us as we take off our shirts and parade around the beach waving comic books in the air! Nah, not really.  Instead, in this episode Allen, Ethan and Seth talk over a letter from Paul and then hop into the Take it or Leave it before you can bat an eye.

Just the two of us. You and I. Paul and Seth unite to talk about a mass amount of comics in this one. But first they dip into a letter sent by listener, Andrew or @adcustom. They talk about regret. We all have some of those. I know I do... Anyway, then they start off the long-running What's Up With Seth segment by talking about the Star Wars spin-offs, and who is directing them. They also talk about a Dr Strange movie and some other garbage. Then they get into some comic reviews. Together, as one they review Original Sin 3, The Wake 9, and Iron Fist 1. It's beautiful. Then they sail through a fistful of reviews before entering their spaceship of love and soaring off into the cosmos, arm in arm.

This time, on Ancillary Characters... Seth is away, and the guys are lettin' it all hang out. Paul, Allen, and Ethan discuss everything from Spanish Art to those crazy Google image searches. In What's Up with Paul, he tries to keep the show on the rails, only to disover that, even with Seth out of the picture, this segment will never be anything more than "What's Up with these guys trolling Paul into a corner?" In Take It or Leave It, the boys review (and spoil) Forever Evil #7, so if you haven't read it yet, you might oughta just save this one for later. But if you have, join us as we shower it with... love? Also, we actually manage to present an entirely comics based TIoLI segment! Who knew we still had it in us? Thoughts? Let us know at: letters@ancillarycharacters.comAlso, guys... iTunes reviews. Seriously. We need them.

Run for your lives! The Ancillary Characters return to talk about the mother of all Monster movies, Godzilla.    But first they have to survive Paul's latest What's Up With Paul. He asks them what they think of the long Flash trailer and the photo of Ben Affleck as Batman and some other stuff. Then they talk about Godzilla with G-Fan writer Mark Matzke, a real-life Godzilla expert. Did they like the movie? Find out!

Hot diggity! These swell fellas you know as the Ancillary Characters just put out their keen episode all about Amazing Spider-Man 2!  On the plus side these show notes are going to be a breeze to write. There's a letter at the start of the show from listener Mark Matzke about the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. The what's up with Paul segment is stimulating as always. I've completely forgotten what it was about... Moving on to the Take it or Leave it, which is entirely devoted to Amazing Spider-Man 2. Dig it.

This episode is interesting in that it features a variety of scintillating topics. You'll know them when you hear them.  As usual there is a smorgasbord of off-topic nonsense such as the use of the phrase "coons age" and some other stuff.

Grant Morrison's MultiversityCyborg in Man of SteelAmazon/ComiXology Then Take it or Leave it...

Wow. A lot going on here. Movie trailers, talk of Clooney-butt, a diatribe about Robin in the new 52, oh, and @pennooch. Before it all gets started we have our longest introduction ever. Pennooch talks about his side gigs and then we all talk about our summer plans. Possibly the greatest devised topic of all time there. Summer plans. Who comes up with this crap?  During the news we talk about the new X-Men Days of Future Past trailer, the just-announced return of (a) Robin to the Bat family, and the upcoming DC weekly series'... of which there are three.

Your four favorite star-spangled podcast hosts return to talk about Captain America: The Winter Soldier! The movie and comic!  But first they read your... wait, nope. No letters. Then they go to the What's Up With Paul segment! What's up with Paul this week, you ask! No one remembers. Then they review Captain America: The Winter Soldier... the film and the Ed Brubaker 14 issue story arc that introduced the new take on a classic character to the Marvel Universe. How did they feel about it all these years later? Find out! Send us some love to letters@ancillarycharacters.com.

The 100th episode closes out in spectacular fashion with Jonesy and Dale essentially hosting a discussion of Smallville, beards and other stuff! Dale starts this one off by introducing listeners to the "fact" that he and Jonesy have been the real reason for AC's success. Well, the jokes on them because this show is far from a success! AHA! Anyway, we talk about Smallville in this segment and beards, and food and other stuff. It was recorded very late at night. Please find us on the web at ancillarycharacters.com or on twitter @ancillarytweets or on facebook.com/ancillarycharacters. Emails to letters@ ancillarycharacters.com. 

The party just keeps on going as @adcustom joins the gang to talk The Princess Bride and why he picked that handle... First, we read a legendarily epic letter courtesy of Dave Finn, our resident Aussie. He's also known for his mean Crocodile Dundee impersonation so give him a round of applause. We also dip into a rather lengthy What's Up With Paul segment but we kept getting knocked off target by diatribes. Like when Andrew and Seth argue about whether or not Pixar is making too many sequels for twenty minutes... And then we review The Princess Bride. A cinema classic, gloreously dissected by your favorite talk show hosts and the guy who does Polycomics Book Club. If you liked this episode check out all the others we've done. There are actually more than just 100... Oh and see us on the web at ancillarycharacters.com or facebook.com/ancillarycharacters or on Twitter @ancillarytweets. Letters to letters@ancillarycharacters.com and, obviously, ratings/reviews on iTunes help us out.

It's finally here. 100 glorious episodes. We celebrate with Grant Morrison's Final Crisis! But first, join us as we walk down memory lane with your letters and voicemails in tow. Allen, Ethan, Paul and Seth discuss the stories history of AC and read what you've thought of the last two years of our little podcast. Then we cut to brass tacks and review Grant Morrison's Final Crisis. Did we love it?... still? Does Allen still hate it? Find out! Part 2 of this episode will be coming SOON, followed next week by part 3.  Don't forget to find us on the web at ancillarycharacters.com or on twitter @ancillarytweets or on facebook.com/ancillarycharacters!
