In this landmark milestone episode of An Elegant Weapon your fearless heroes venture away from the L5J studios to visit friends of the show, Shawn Nixon and his neighbour Darren. We are granted an all access pass to the Shawn's X-Cave which houses every Uncanny X-Men title ever put out, including variants. We're also granted access to Darrens garage to smoke some really good weed. The musical interludes for this episode were provided by local band "You Handsome Devil" who are currently writing a theme song for us. As always, thanks for listening. We love you.

Episode XIV: No Apologies Part 2

Wed, 30 May 2012 23:32:04 +0000

Recorded on May 26 2012 This ones heavy, and there's nothing wrong with the gravity. @aswimtobirds and @potatowast3 are throwing down some pencil. @jediras has his own idea of what he wants us to do though! Matt Miner is selling some sick shit, swing by his site for "steals." He's trying to get a kickstarter campaign going. Find him at mattminer.net or on twitter @MattMinerXVX Always hit up Happy Drunk Comics for some Tom. They're at happydrunkcomics.com or on twitter @HappyDrunkComic And I can't leave out @Da_Nerdette and the boys @nextelementpod

In episode XV @jediras has @potatowast3 recast Star Trek Voyager before they try and figure out who'd be good to recast in a remake of Ghostbusters.

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:15:22 +0000
