Presenting Dragnet Episode 43: "The Big Book"

Presenting Dragnet Episode 42: "The Big Gangster" Part 2

Since there won't be a Doctor Who Christmas special for 2025, I thought I'd help fill in the gap by talking over an older one. This time, I go aaaall the way back to 2024 to watch "Joy to the World."

After a 16 year absence, Doctor Who returned to TVs all over the UK with a new series that premiered on March 26, 2005 with the episode "Rose." To celebrate it's 20th Anniversary, I re-watch and commentate on the episode that ushered in a new era of Doctor Who.

It's that time of year once again to sit back, relax, and enjoy another Christmas episode from the Dragnet radio show. Instead of lessons about giving guns to kids for Christmas, Friday and Smith are out to find Jesus!

This time out, I talk about what non-podcast related comics I'm currently reading.

In the first of a series of short episodes that are mostly unedited and, therefore, easier to release on a regular basis, I reflect on 30 years of comic collecting.

'Tis the season once again, and this time we return to the 1940s for the audio version of Superman's Christmas Adventure. Enjoy!

After Superman's death, it was time for superhero and average citizen alike to mourn for their hero. Meanwhile, as the crime-rate rises, others have ulterior motives, for both Metropolis, and Superman himself.

30 years ago, the unimaginable happened: Superman died. Not a hoax. Not an imaginary story. Join Charlie as he looks at the story that turned out to be just the first part of an epic trilogy!

Join me as I take a look at an imaginary story (aren't they all?) from the 60s, in which Superman is split in 2, and systematically ties up just about all of the main Silver Age Superman plot points!

In 2021, Netflix released a reboot He-Man series aimed at 6-10 year olds. Since my son is 7, I thought it would be fun to watch it with him and see how he likes it. In the first 2 episodes, Teela steals a mysterious sword, and a voice in her [...]

Is this a treat, or a cruel trick? Will you enjoy, or will it make your ears bleed? Either way, it will add to your Halloween experience!

Continuing our look at the DC Original Animated movies, we go to the Nolanverse for a movie that takes place between Batman Begins and Dark Knight, but interpreted by multiple Anime studios.

Venture back to 1949, when Dragnet was on the radio telling an un-heartwarming Christmas story that would upset the NRA, all while selling cigarettes! Seems perfect for Christmas 2020, doesn't it?

The first in a series of commentaries looking at the DC Original Animated Movies, beginning, as these things should, with the first one. Witness the first attempt at the epic Death & Return of Superman storyline with Superman: Doomsday!

This time out we conclude the 2 stories that started in Action 544! First up, Luthor's plan is finally unleashed, and it is...disappointing. Then it is all out Action as the JLA and the Teen Titans team up to stop Brainiac!

The new Brainiac is colder, and more dangerous than ever. Can a weakened Man of Steel escape from a prison that Brainiac can control with his computer mind?

The internet radio show about me and what I like, but mostly about what I like.

On the eve of my 40th birthday, I decide to go back in time to see myself as a baby. But, due to a slight error, I end up on my 3rd birthday instead. What else is a podcasting time-traveler to do in 1983 but have a little chat with [...]

What better way to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of Superman's debut in Action Comics #1 than by reinventing 2 of his greatest villains for the 80s?

Lex Luthor is back, and once again, he's out to get Superman. But this time, he's got a groovy new costume of his own!

Three different live action Superman related TV shows did variations on the story of Superman taking on an asteroid, and then getting amnesia. In this epic length episode, we are watching "Panic in the Sky" from The Adventures of Superman, "Superboy...Lost" from The Adventures of Superboy, and "All Shook Up" [...]

Happy Holidays! Charlie's Geekcast returns just in time for Christmas with a commentary on the Justice League episode "Comfort and Joy."

Christmas 1993 saw the animated Batman arrive on the big screen, and, as was the norm back then, DC published a comic book adaptation of it by the usual Batman Adventures team. How are they similar? How are they different? Why did it take so long for me to complete [...]
