Across The Airwaves Podcast (standard Mp3)

Hello ATA Listeners, this week's podcast is entitled "Dan & Nico Don't Have a CLUE" in honor of Psych's 100th Episode having a Clue as in the motion picture  theme but this title ended up going beyond Psych as Nico and I had a few strong disagreements on a Castle episode that puts its focus on Ryan as well as our thoughts on the success of Psych as a whole. Although in the end, we were pretty much left unsure on who was right with their arguments as all of you  Television Watchers out there could've seen it either way so that's what left us without a clue.  The good news is Andy was able to give some direction with our  cluelessness as he joined me to review an episode of Once upon a Time where we vented our frustrations on the reset applied to Pinocchio's character.  Then Nico and I were able to get back on the same page as we reviewed a Friends reunion on Go On, Modern Family taking Handball to the extreme, Supernatural  going X-Men style with the wild world of Hunters and a Doctor Who episode that wil

Hey Arrowheads, and welcome back to Across the Airwaves' very own "Longbow Hunters: The Arrow Podcast"! On this week's episode Woo and I reveal a big secret about the future of our podcast before our main event: covering the 18th episode of Arrow entitled "Salvation" (no, not the Smallville - Season 9 finale...)! We go in depth here about the Island Flashbacks with Oliver, Slade, Shado, and Yao Fei, Moria's actions, The "Savior" how much we just don't care about Dinah Drake-Lance, Tommy's dark destiny, and if Oliver & Felicity may or may not have a thing. Also, Roy Harper. We also cover the 25th digital comic book chapter entitled "The Pieces Missing" as we try and figure out why Diggle wants to know about Lian Yu. And, after the music we talk in the SPOILERS section about how much we're looking forward to this week's episode, "Unfinished Business"!

Salutations ATA Listeners! It's that time of year again where our podcast experiences its own version of March Madness that doesn't even involve Basketball. Actually, it does kind of involve basketball as the NCAA Tournament (which I enjoy watching) acts as one of the reasons why the Spring schedule for our favorite TV Shows is a giant hodgepodge that makes filling out a bracket of 64 teams look easy  as we seem to get a different set of shows on hiatus or premiering every other week. In other words, if it wasn't for people like Nico and Andy helping me keep it all straight, I'd be pulling my hair out because it's getting crazy up in here. As for what's on tap to review this week, Once upon a Time reveals a new real world villain, Castle gives its own fun homage to horror movies like The Ring, Go On continues to have more fun with NFL star Terrel Owens, Jeffrey Tambor shines in a great guest spot on Psych, Supernatural pushes the tablet story arc forward in big ways and Abed starts his own fraternity on Comm

Hey Arrowheads! Welcome back to ATA's Longbow Hunters: The Arrow Podcast!

Be warned, there is a tone of in-depth discussion this week about the Huntress, McKenna Hall's send-off, Tommy Merlyn, Sara Lance, how cute Felicity is, the Undertaking and how it may be involved with the Island (tying into Jeff Lemire's incredible New 52 - Green Arrow run!) and even some Steve Aoki! We also get deep into the news section this week in talking about Paley Fest 2013, Roy, Slade, and Felicity being regulars in Season 2, and Stephen Amell's role in the upcoming DC Comics fighting videogame "Injustice: Gods Among Us"! Plus, SPOILERS  for next week's episode, "Salvation". All this and more on this week's Longbow Hunters Podcast, thanks guys and enjoy!

Greetings loyal Fanterns, Young Justice fans, and DC Nationites! On March 16th, 2013, we all experienced a heavy loss. It wasn't just Aya or Wally West's "deaths" that were bad, it was the fact that DC Nation will never be the same again as Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice: Invasion are now gone from Cartoon Network. But, as you will hear in this recording of that day's Live Show Event hosted by DC Nation Podcast hosts Dan Schmidt & Michael J. Petty, with guest host Andy Behbakht, it may not be the end of these shows forever. However, in this ATA Live Show, the Trio discussed the Green Lantern: The Animated Series series finale "Dark Matter" & the Young Justice: Invasion series finale "Endgame". They talk about Aya's "death" and how she could easily be alive, the epic space battle between the Green Lantern Corps and the Manhunters, shipping Razaya, SuperMartian, and Spitfire, Wally West's "cease", Aqualad being back as team leader, Artemis's change to Tigress, and Dick Grayson's s

Hey ATA Listeners, have you ever felt like you spend your week around a campfire with your friends Emma Swan, Shawn Spencer, Jeff Winger, Dr. Sheldon Cooper and John Reese where they share stories about everything from hunting down Bigfoot to the retelling the plot of The Goonies? Do you understand what I'm talking about, do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming or is this campfire that's burning an eternal flame? Well, if you answered yes that means you are a hard-core television watcher fired up for our podcast reviews on your favorite shows airing this week including an episode ofOnce upon a Time where Snow White goes to the dark side, a Psych hunt for Bigfoot parodying The Blair Witch Project, Jeff trying to prove Chang's amnesia is a fake on Community, a Big Bang Theory that did a good job of getting a little emotional and Person of Interest bringing itself back to the Casinos where International Men of Mystery like John Reese originated. Also as always we have another edition of News with Nico featurin

Hello fellow Hunters and welcome back to ATA's very own Retro Reviews Podcast! On this brief returning episode of Retro Reviews, Michael & Woo share their Top 6 favorite episode of Supernatural! This episode includes discussion on why the episodes they picked are their favorites, how each episode impacted them personally and the series, where SPN should have really ended, and Michael trying to get everyone listening (including Woo) to watch Supernatural: The Animation as it really does enhance the series. Although this is the first and last time in a while that you will be listening to Retro Reviews, don't worry because next week Michael & Woo will be back with a new episode of Longbow Hunters. Enjoy!

While some of the shows that Across the Airwaves cover here are on a little break: the two comic book nerds Andy Behbakht and Michael J Petty join forces for a special edition of Across the Airwaves dedicated to reviewing some of their favorite comic books. They review and discuss books such as Geoff Johns Justice League, Justice League of America, Jeff Lemire’s current run on the Green Arrow book, as well as other big books in DC Comics current “New 52”. There is also a big discussion regarding what is up with Marvel Comic’s favorite web-crawler Spider-Man. The second portion of the episode is dedicated for discussions of the several upcoming movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe while also discussing Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel movie. The two nerdy hosts also talk and discuss what is currently going on – as well as not going on - with Warner Bros. DC Cinematic Universe with all the rumors regarding a future Justice League movie keeping flying in almost every week. Suggestions to how the approach

Hello DC Nationites, welcome back to the DC Nation Podcast, here on Across the Airwaves, and it looks like we've got a special penultimate episode for you guys tonight! First on this week's agenda, we try and help get through some Manhunters when we cover the Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode "Ranx"! We discuss the possibilities of seeing more than one Earth Green Lantern in the series finale, Razer's realization of what the team may have to do to defeat Aya, and give our other thoughts and predictions about the final episode. Then, after covering the Plastic Man and Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld shorts, we move onto covering the Young Justice: Invasion episode "Summit" where we freak out over Dan's crackpot theory for the series finale, cry at the "deaths" of Aqualad and Artemis, rejoice at the return of Wally West, and plead with DC Comics to give Young Justice (and Green Lantern as well) a "Smallville Season 11-like" comic series that will continue the series for us fans. We quickly end our epis

Hey ATA Listeners, it's the Big Bopper speaking doing just what I like, podcast reviews on a great week of television, which started off Andy and I reviewing a Once upon a Time episode where Snow White in (everybody sing...)  Chantilly Lace had evil on her face and Go On's cast was placing bets down  As Big Bang's Cinderella had a giggle and a yell that made the world go round There ain't nothing in Psych's world Like Shawn giving Lassie a whirl to make things funny and Community's spoof on Shawshank not worth the money Set a Person of Interest killer loose who tried to play us like a goose Because yeah oh baby that's what we TV watchers like! However, that's not all there is to like about ATA Episode 115 as we've also got a News with Nico section featuring a big rumor about the future for the DC  Comics Cinematic Universe if Man of Steel is a success this summer and another addition of the Airwaves Rundown Section containing our thoughts on The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, History Channel's new hit show Vi

So, for the first hour and 15 minutes, the Terrific Trio discuss GL:TAS, specifically Jeremy's episodes of the series, and get a "behind-the-scenes" feel of how the show is created. But if you thought that talking Green Lantern for over an hour wasn't enough, Dan & Michael also cover the DC Nation Short - Amethyst: Level 6! But that's not all as the Dynamic Duo continues to cover the Young Justice: Invasion episode "Intervention", where the two get into some talk about Zatanna's use this season, Blue Beetle, and how Batgirl works on the Young Justice Team.

Hey guys, and welcome back to ATA's DC Nation Podcast! This week on the DC Nation, Dan & Michael cover the Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode "Larfleeze" (joined by Gollum) where they talk about... Well, Larfleeze! But not just that, they also plug Geoff Johns' Green Lantern series once again and talk about just how much willpower Hal Jordan has.

Hey ATA Listeners, welcome to Across the Airwaves, on this week’s podcast we discuss our favorite shows this week and five interesting News with Nico items. In our discussion this week, Castle saw the introduction of James Brolin as Castle's father in a great second half to the Season 5 two-part episode.  Go On saw a great bit with Mr K as Mary Poppins that both Dan and Nico thought worthy of their favorite comedic moment.  The Modern Family discussion mostly focused on the great Phil and Luke story arc that revolved around Luke's dating.  Dan and Nico both agreed that Supernatural was a pretty great, despite being slower, more plot driven, and a lot less action oriented than the past few episodes.  Psych saw a discussion of our favorite comedic moments in the middle of a full review because both Dan and Nico loved this season premiere.  Finally, the Community discussion saw a disagreement between Dan and Nico on the quality of this episode and Nico's argument that showing the Study Group as villains was cons

Hello Arrowheads and welcome back to Across the Airwaves' Longbow Hunters: The Arrow Podcast! On this exciting episode, Michael and Woo cover the 2nd Geoff Johns-Arrow episode (directed by the wonderful Glen Winter) entitled "Dead to Rights"! The Dynamic Duo talks in depth about Oliver and Tommy, Malcolm and Tommy, Dinah Drake-Lance, Deadshot's return and it's effects on Diggle, China White, and the possibility of the League of Shadows... But that's not all, Michael plugs Arrow #4 and Green Arrow #18 (available at your local comic book store this coming Wednesday) and the team cover this week's digital chapter "Detour"!

Hey ATA Listeners, it's time to Bow Before Thoraxis on this week's podcast as we discuss our favorite shows this week and three interesting News with Nico items.  In our discussion this week, Once Upon a Time saw the dual reunion of father and son as Henry met his father for the first time and Henry's father was reunited with his father, Rumplestiltskin.  Castle was action packed in the first part of the Season 5 Two Part Episode that saw the kidnapping of Alexis and Dan and Nico discuss what this could mean going forward both in the story and tone of the show.  Go On tried to Go Deep with meditation and Terrel Owens, but ended up getting most of its comedy from boner cream jokes... to great effect.  Modern Family made Dan laugh at an unfortunate haircut, while Nico enjoyed another Luke moment.  Supernatural turned out to be the most contentious show of the week as one of our fearless leaders felt the show was didn't have a whole going on, while the other really enjoyed it. A lively discussion ensued.  But i

Hello and welcome back to Longbow Hunters: The Arrow Podcast, brought to you by the Across the Airwaves Podcast Network! However, this may have not been the best episode for you all to come back to as Michael & Woo are joined by ATA Corps member Andy Behbakht and the whole show is de-railed from it's tracks! Is this a bad thing? No, not completely as there is a lot of great discussion. The Terrific Trio talk about relationships (Oliver & McKenna, Diggle & Carly, and Roy & Thea to be exact), the Dodger, why Arrow is not Smallville, Neilson ratings and how they hurt television programs, Felicity Smoak, Oliver being awesome, Roy Harper, and tough choices. Michael & Andy also explore how the DC Comics villain Cheshire could be introduced into the Arrow Universe and the three talk about where Roy Harper may go in later seasons. But that's not all as Michael gives his recommendation to all Green Arrow fans to go read Geoff Johns's "Justice League of America #1" book and then the three discuss th

Greetings, DC Nationites! On this week's podcast our reviews proved "Love Is a Battlefield" as the Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode of the same name featured Dark Aya trying to eradicate the Champions of Love known as the Star Sapphires, Young Justice Invasion had Miss Martian face several "Complications" as she tried to escape captivity to be reunited with her lost love Superboy and Smallville Season 11 #34 Haunted Chapter 8 stirred up quite a bit of controversy as it was revealed that in the Earth 2 timeline Chloe and Oliver had an affair while he was engaged to Lois. Even Michael and I got out on the battlefield as we form an argument against Cartoon Network about canceling the current DC Nation shows we love now for something goofy like Teen Titans Go! while explaining what they should do instead. Also to top that off we tried to review the short Amethyst - Level Five: Battle in the Stormy Peaks but it ended up evolving into a discussion on our concerns/fears on the future of Superhero Animatio

War, what is it good for?! Absolutely nothing! Actually for you DC Nationers war was good for something as it set up great installments of our favorite DC  related TV Shows and Comic Books for us to review here on Week 43 of the DC Nation Podcast. First off, the Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode "Babel", Dark Aya's war against the Universe began as she sent the Interceptor crash landing on an strange Alien planet where Hal, Razor and Kilowog had to make do without their power rings. Then in the Young Justice Invasion episode "War", the team goes to War literally as they battle to stop Mongul from destroying Earth with his Death Star, I mean WarWorld. Finally, the week was rounded out with Clark and Bart's war against the Dark Flash directing them to the home of a surprisingly gruff and grumpy Jay Garrick in Smallville Season 11 #33: Haunted Chapter 7. Along with some great discussions on our favorite heroes going to war, we have a special edition of Michael's DC Headlines News Section where we talk

Hey ATA Listeners, with this week's podcast reviewing episodes of our favorite shows during the week of Valentine's Day. We decided to celebrate television's most popular couples being happy together as Once upon a Time gave Snow White and Prince Charming a renewed sense of adventure, Castle and Beckett kept each other in suspense over their Valentine's Day gifts, Claire and Phil's aspirations to do some sexual role-playing on Modern Family was ruined with a trip to the hospital and The Big Bang Theory featured the sweetest Valentine's Day moment of the week as Sheldon made Amy his emergency contact. However, the theme of being happy together on Valentine's Day dinner didn't just apply to romantic love, it applied to other types as well with brotherly love being exhibited by the Winchesters as Sam made a hard decision to end the cycle of the brothers sacrificing themselves for each other. We also got buddy love as Reese got into a no holds bar death match with a Government assassin to protect Finch's identit

Hello Arrowheads! Welcome back to ATA's Longbow Hunters Podcast! On this episode, Woo and I discuss some good news with Bryan Q. Miller writing an episode of Arrow, Arrow getting a Season 2 pickup, and Harrison Ford (along with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher) being in Star Wars Episode VII. But moving on from the news, the episode that we discuss on this podcast is 1x14 "The Odyssey"! We talk about Oliver getting shot by his mom, Felicity's time on Team Arrow, Batman/Green Arrow parallels, Oliver's training on the island with Slade, how the Undertaking could be a part of the Island, and Yao Fei's mysterious daughter! We also cover the digital comic book chapter of the week, this week's being "Wintergreen", which explains the origins of how/why Slade and Wintergreen got on the Island in the first place. And of course, as always, after the music we talk about next week's episode "Dodger" in the spoilers section! All this and more on this week's Longbow Hunters: The Arrow Podcast!
