LMKHII Classic - Kids on Bikes

This week we have a classic episode from our archive:

"The crew explores the "Kids on Bikes" sub-genre of action-adventure movies and shows that seems to be just as popular now, with shows such as Stranger Things, as it was back in its original E.T. and Goonies filled heyday of the 1980s. They discuss some of their favorite movies and shows, both new and old, to try to figure out why they loved them so much back then, and why these types of stories are still so enduring today."

This episode was originally released July 6, 2022

Comic Creator Wish List

One of the beautiful things about Comics is that they keep going; when one creative team leaves, another one jumps on. Beloved characters have years, sometimes decades worth of great writers and artists taking their turn developing story and their unique voices and takes on characters that all add to the pot contributing pieces for the next creative team to build off of. Every once in a while though, the right writer finds the right artist and they are paired with the right character; and the result? Pure magic. Join the panel as we fantasize about the perfect pairings of creators and characters on our Comic Creator Wish List.

 

We are joined this week by long-time friend of the show Devon Sanders.
