The BAM Crew is back with a new season of the show covering the new season of SUPERMAN AND LOIS! CLOSER was a strong opening and left The Crew with a lot to unpack. Is Lois pregnant? How thirsty is the town of Smallville? What will Chrissy give the boys for their birthday? This and other questions are probably answered along with a bunch of other ones! Plus, Bethany chooses The Most Punchable Face while Alison picks out The Most Aesthetically Pleasing person of the episode and Michael delivers an official Professor Bailey Superman 101 lesson on Titano, Atomic Skull and Mechano Man! Finally, YOUR FEEDBACK!

This time out Andy and Mike actually stick to their mandate...for once...and even brought along a guest. Writer Jim Beard joins the guys and even suggested the book they cover, which is BATMAN #252! Listen to all three of these Batman fans talk about The Spook and Alfred and Json Bard and Robin and even Danny Kaye!
This time out Andy and Mike throw their mandate out the window...again...to yak over BATMAN THE MOVIE! It's a commentary...with a few bouts of silence because the guys start watching the movie instead to talking over it. But it's fun. Promise.

This time out I talk about my reactions to Superman books, movies, and televsion in the year 2022. What comics did I read? Why did I decide to start picking up the Superman books again? What do I think of the whole Henry Cavill situation? Why do I feel old? Listen and find out!

This time out I present another not so lost episode which was supposed to be part one of a series of episodes leading up to ACTION COMICS 1000 back in 2018 but that never happened.

This time out Andy and Mike devote another special episode to to a legendary comic book creator that passed away recently. Neal Adams revolutionized Batman as a character in the early seventies and became the template that is still followed to this day. Andy and Mike look at two Adams drawn Batman stories. One is the first appearance of a character that has a name that causes arguments in regards to how it is pronounced. The other has Batman fighting a werewolf. Not exactly overlooked, but the guys are making an exception for Neal.
