325, "Y: The Last Man - Vol. 8, Kimono Dragons (feat. Chance Mazzia)"

This week, Paul and Arlo return to their Four-Color Flashback exploration of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man with Vol. 8: Kimono Dragons. Joining them for the first time in a while is once and future 90 700 Club host Chance Mazzia. Frustrated by some of the detours this Japanese misadventure takes, the gang gets around to asking the question that's hung over this entire FCF series: nearly a decade removed from publication, is Y: The Last Man still as great as they thought it was? To find the answer, they discuss Vaughan's writing style, how each volume reads compared to the whole, and what if anything Y contributed to the evolution of the comics medium. Plus, Justice League arrives in theaters (leading to a breakthrough in Paul and Arlo's relationship), the Avengers assemble for the Infinity War trailer, and Arlo is delighted by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Next: the Geek Challenge rides again, with a retro kick. Paul will force Arlo to watch Joe Johnston's 1991 superhero cult classic The Rocketeer, and Arlo will force Paul to watch Gary Ross' colorful 1998 film Pleasantville.   THE BREAKDOWN Intro / Banter (00:00 - 31:52) Main Topic (31:52 - 1:40:03) Outro / Next Week (1:40:03 - 1:45:30)
