Things of the Day


Every Wednesday, Rym and Scott carve out a space for a specific kind of geekery on their GeekNights Wednesday-Comics and Animation podcast. This isn't a broad pop-culture roundup; it's a dedicated, weekly dive into the panels and the frames. The conversation revolves around the worlds of comic books, graphic novels, and animated series, both new and classic. You'll hear them dissect the latest storyline from a major publisher, revisit an influential anime film, or unpack the artistic merits of an indie graphic novel. Their discussions are informed by deep personal fandom and a critical eye, blending genuine enthusiasm with thoughtful analysis. They might trace the evolution of a particular animation studio's style or debate the narrative impact of a crossover event. Listening to this podcast feels like sitting in on a conversation between two deeply knowledgeable friends who are always eager to share and examine what makes these visual mediums tick. It’s for anyone who wants to move beyond simple reviews and into more substantive talk about the craft, history, and ongoing sagas found in comics and animation. The tone is casual but never shallow, making complex topics accessible without sacrificing depth. Each episode is a focused look at the art and stories that define these genres, delivered with the consistent rapport that Rym and Scott have built over time. It’s a midweek appointment for dedicated fans.
