EP.3 – The Atlantis Problem – A Review of Billionaires In Comics pt.3

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.121 – Catching Bullets With His Teeth – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.1 – Tangential Giants Podcast

This week on Tangential Giants, Kareem, Ken, Patrick, and guest JPG attempt the impossible: giving a straight, disciplined breakdown of the state of martial arts films today. Naturally, it goes off the rails immediately.Kareem and JPG revive their long‑running feud over who the real host of Tangential Giants is, Ken tries to keep the peace like a weary kung‑fu mentor who never asked for this, and Patrick wonders aloud how Superman ever got talked into snapping necks in the first place.From the elegance of classic martial arts choreography to the modern trend of turning every fight scene into a small‑arms convention, the crew eventually lands on Roadhouse and its staggering devotion to gunfire. They try to talk technique and philosophy, but Roadhouse keeps showing up like an uninvited bar brawler.If you like martial arts cinema, chaotic detours, and the kind of debates that only get louder when no one is winning, this episode is your dojo.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #roadhouse #superman #moviepodcast #filmtalk #popculturepodcast #JPGvsKareem
