GAR! 173: Bobby the Brain and the Avengers Go to Twin Peaks


Download the MP3 here!

This week’s episode of The GAR! Podcast includes discussion of the following: Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, “Twin Peaks,” Secret Empire, Len Wein, “The Good Place,” Hurricane Irma, Spider-Man, broken Avengers, Archie and digest comics, reprint comics, great gifts, the work of Alan Light, and Watchmen and “The Twilight Zone.”

Glenn admits that he got the “Seinfeld” episode memory wrong, but the analogy of the toothbrush in the toilet he presented still holds for Captain America and Secret Empire.

The GAR! Podcast is the Glenn Walker and Ray Cornwall weekly podcast where they talk unrehearsed about whatever happens to come to mind. It’s an audio-zine for your mind, a nerd exploration of a nerd world, coming to you from the suburbs of New Jersey and the sunny lakes of Florida via Skype.
