Steve Younis, webmaster of the Superman Homepage, and Neal Bailey (no relation), also of the Homepage join Michael to discuss the Man of Steel and some of their experiences at the recent Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Ill. Unfortunately they never get to Neal's experiences and Steve has to pop out early, but the discussion is lively and Michael learned a lot about the history of the site he reviews for and how Steve and Neal got into Superman in the first place.

This week's offering includes; a twenty year old animated theme song, Michael complaining about his day job, some of the comics he has been reading lately, a list of podcasts he listens to and one of the reason being a Superman fan sucks. All of this in only twenty-seven minutes. How about that? No really, how about that? Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_049.mp3 After two weeks away Michael is back and has more random stuff to throw at you muck like a primate in a zoo. It's a pretty mixed bag at that with Michael discussing the comics he's been reading lately before unleashing several bits and pieces of a talk he had with Shag. The two mostly discuss some of the news that came out of San Diego...mostly and then Shag tells a story of his recent trip to New Orleans. All of this and a big announcement regarding a special Views From The Longbox event that starts next week.

For the next six days Michael and his sometime co-host Shag discuss the cinematic versions of the Caped Crusader as well as taking one day to talk about Batman's greatest villain. In the second installment Michael and Shag take a very long look at the 1989 Batman film. This wasn't so much a movie as it was an event and the guys take this one from all sides. The movie, the music, the merchandising. It's all here. Well, it's nearly all here. They don't actually play the movie or anything. Part 2 of 6.

That's all that needs to be said. Part 3 of 6.

Michael had a lot of "anniversary issue" formats to choose from and goes with the old looking at the past before moving forward idea. Michael goes over some of his earliest comic purchases, when he became a collecter, when he became and addict and asks if it is possible for him to ever stop collecting comics. Also a smallish contest begins and Michael reads some listener mail. Listener discretion is advised and encouraged. Fri, 13 Sep 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_051.mp3 The traditional post-DragonCon episode is here again. A little late but it's here. This year Michael is joined by his semi-regular co-host Shag and they begin their discussion of how it all went down in 2008. This episode inlcudes the usual opening banter, followed by talk of costumes and dealers' rooms. Also Michael and Shag go over the swag they picked up this year. And remember, there is a contest going on right now, so stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear the details. Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_052.mp3 Dragon*Con 2008 Part 2/ Laurell K. Hamilton. Mai Tais. Trader Vic's. Death in the Family. Yeah, that about covers it. Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_053.mp3 This week Michael welcomes his friend Elizabeth to the show to discuss feminism in comic books and comic book fandom. After Elizabeth discusses what drew her to comics (hint; Godzilla and Transformers) they get to the heart of the matter. This is definitely not a typical episode but it is thought provoking and hopefully entertaining. Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_054.mp3 This week begins a three part conversation with the host of Geek Out Loud, the writer of Geek Out Online and the co-host of Starkville's House of El and the Skynext Podcast himself Big Honkin' Steve. Michae is really excited about this one as he and Steve have been trying to do an episode together for quite some time. In this first installment they kiss each other's behinds for a bit before launching into a variety of subjects. These three episodes of Views will be a rare safe place for you to geek out. Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_055.mp3 The second part of Michael's discussion with Big Honkin' Steve begins with an announcment about some changes happening to the Views feed. After that it's a pretty Superman heavy episode as Michael and Steve discuss Superman Returns. For nearly an hour. Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_056.mp3 The third installment is here and Michael is somewhat sad that it is over because he had so much fun recording with Big Honkin' Steve. This week Michael and Steve finally (as this is the first topic the two ever kicked around to discuss) get to hash it out over Smallville. That eats up a lot of the episode. Towards the end we talk comics again and Steve makes Michael laugh. A lot. Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:00:00 EST http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com/Audio/Views_Ep_057.mp3 Michael welcomes yet another guest host this week and the second one to come from the Spider-Man Crawlspace. Kevin Cushing joins Michael to talk about Green Lantern and they do. They also talk about a thousand other things, but that's pretty much they way things work on this show.
