The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) continue reviewing billionaires in comics. Tangents include how exactly Power Girl makes money, Super boy’s weird Gambit-like abilities, James Bond sifting through red-tape to lease a new car, Aquaman’s ability to use the ‘5-second’ rule in the ocean has led to his trillion-dollar empire, and more.

Show Notes

Kareem, Ken, and Pat are back at it, continuing their review of billionaires in comics, and the results are as ridiculous as ever.

Doctor Doom’s debts are only the beginning. Along the way, the guys veer into tangents that somehow make perfect sense in comic book economics: how exactly Power Girl makes money, Superboy’s strange Gambit-like abilities, James Bond battling red tape just to lease a car, and Aquaman turning the “five-second rule” into a trillion-dollar ocean empire. It’s part financial roast, part pop culture deep dive, and all about the bizarre ways comics imagine wealth, power, and debt.

Expect sharp banter, absurd hypotheticals, and the kind of financial wisdom you’d only hear from superheroes and supervillains. Spoiler: Spider-Man still can’t pay his rent. #ComicBookBillionaires

EP.122 – Wait, You Know Kung Fu Too? – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.2 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem, Ken, Pat, and returning chaos agent JPG dive into the second half of their martial arts saga, tracing how the genre went from the clean, wide‑shot choreography of the 80s and 90s to the hyper‑edited, camera‑trick chaos that took over in the 2000s.They unpack how The Matrix rewired Hollywood’s brain, how 9‑11 reshaped action aesthetics, and how Jackie Chan’s beautifully reckless stunt work got replaced by gunkata, tactical reloads, and enough quick cuts to make a film editor sweat. Along the way, the crew debates whether modern action is evolution or just caffeine with a budget.If you enjoy martial arts history, pop culture detours, and a guest who refuses to stay on topic, this episode delivers.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #Gunkata #jackiechan #thematrix #filmpodcast #popculturepodcast #moviediscussions
