Captain America Podcast: How It's Going

Friends may recall that I am cohosting a podcast about "Captain America: The First Avenger" in which we examine one minute of the movie per episode. Sounds odd but it works. 

I haven't mentioned it much on social media because we post three episodes per week and I don't want to try everyone's patience, but we just recorded two episodes I'm especially proud of and want to advise folks to take a listen to:

Our guest for Episode 49 was my friend Justin Thompson, who in addition to being a fine cartoonist is also an actor and stunt performer who in a previous career actually portrayed Captain America in public appearances for Marvel. We talked about the responsibility that goes with putting on the red, white, and blue tights and the nature of heroism. Good stuff!

Two episodes later, our guest for Episode 51 was comic book writer Mark Waid, whose long career has featured acclaimed work for both DC and Marvel, including a long run on the Captain America comic book. We had a terrific discussion about how he analyzed and wrote the character of Steve Rogers, and what he thinks of the movies' interpretation of him.
