S2 Ep28: Love That Joker! - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 28

Author: The Geek Show April 11, 2019 Duration: 1:10:17

So we finally get our first proper look at the new, stand-alone movie about the Clown Prince of Crime starring Joaquin Phoenix, but can it match up to Jokers past? Does The Joker need a sympathetic origin story, and which actors played the role the best, the most accurate, and the worst? 

Join Andrew, Mick and Rob for a field trip to the rather shiny and clean streets of Gotham to find out. 

After that it’s time for our usual look at the comics and graphic novels that we’ve been reading, which this week are Xerxes by Frank Miller, volume 0 of Polar: The Black Kaiser by Victor Santos, Mr & Mrs X: Love And Marriage, Starcraft: Scavengers, and The Immortal Hulk: The Green Door.

Dive deep into the vibrant, inky world of graphic storytelling with 4-Panel | Comics & Manga. Hosted by the crew from The Geek Show, this podcast feels less like a formal review and more like hanging out at your local comic shop, eavesdropping on the most passionate, knowledgeable, and slightly chaotic conversation in the corner. Each episode is a journey through the panels, where the latest superhero movie news might spark a deep dive into its obscure source material, or a review of a classic manga can derail into a hilarious debate about the weirdest trends in sequential art. You’ll hear genuine reactions to the most exciting and baffling news from both Western comics and Japanese manga, alongside unfiltered reviews that celebrate masterpieces and lovingly roast the odd misfire. The charm of this show lies in its authentic, meandering energy-the hosts get genuinely excited and distracted, following tangents that often lead to the best insights. It’s a celebration of the entire culture, from big-screen adaptations to the indie zine you’ve never heard of. Tune in for a weekly dose of enthusiasm that reminds you why you fell in love with these stories in the first place.
