The Honeycomb Hideout

Alright, 'Combies!! The Honeycomb Hideout is up and operational again! Ya boy Joe Cain is back and he's brought a few friends to celebrate this spoopiest of holidays. The ever indomitable Mark Dudley makes his return to the Hideout, so we're all in for a treat there, and long-time friend of Imaginos Workshop, Andrew Walker, is making his first appearance (likely of many) on the show. To celebrate Halloween in a way that only we can, we're tackling horror-related topics. We're talking horror movies, monsters, villains, and tropes of the genre and it winds up going in some interesting directions. So come on down and spend some time with your boys as we celebrate the kind of content that goes bump in the night and sends chills down your spine! But in a good way.  ;)   Oh, and... via GIPHY

Alright, 'Combies! There's been a couple of shake-ups over the past few months, so ya' boy Joe Cain is back in the Hideout to get y'al up to speed. It's a bit more ramble-y than usual but still, news is coming. He's gonna update you on the upcomings with Imaginos Workshop including appearances, some of the news coming out of San Diego Comic Con, and a brief contemplation on Pride Month and an examination on prejudice and bias. So take a seat and hang out with ya' boy as we catch up.

Alright, 'Combies! Joe and Drew are back in the Hideout with a treat that graced American cinemas recently. Japan recently recently a new Dragon Ball movie, this time under the banner of its latest iteration, Dragon Ball Super. And with the new film, it re-introduces a fan-favorite film character but bring them into the actual series canon. As the title conveys, Broly is coming and will be making himself known. So come on down and let's break down this bit of awesomeness and even some upcoming fun with the Dragon Ball FighterZ!

What's up, 'Combies!! It's 2019 and the boys have finally got a new show ready for you. Now, there's been a lot going on in the transition between '18 and '19 but this one's going to be surprisingly focused. The loss of Stan Lee kicks off a bit of a reminiscence for the boys and doesn't stop there. The fact is 2018 was essentially the year of Spider-Man and we dive into why, culminating in potentially the greatest Spider-Man thing EVER! Yeah, despite both of them being sick, they're going all in on these, y'all. So come on down and hang with your boys as they reflect on the year of Spider-Man!   And feel free to hit up your boys on the social media!

What's up, 'Combies! Your boys are back! We had to step away for a bit to do some restructuring, but we have returned and we're gonna make up for lost time, starting with a review for a movie that frankly felt pointless yet has somehow made a major impact. Yup, we're talking about Venom! ::Sighs:: So, come on down, kick back, and hang with your boys while we lay this dumpster hour down for you.   Episode Refs: Web of Venom: Ve'nam, Venom trailer     And feel free to hit up your boys on the social media!

ALRIGHT, 'COMBIES!! Your boys are taking it to some interesting places this time around. The big topic centers on the concept of "The Death of the Author", but we've got a whole lot of other fun and not-so fun bits sprinkled all throughout the show. With the standard topic distractions and derailments, weird jokes, and uncomfortable truths, there's also a bit of somberness thrown in for balance as well. So come on down, sit back, and feel something with your boys as we go through a wide-range of topics in a surprisingly short span of time and a surprise ending that none of you will see coming.   'Dem Refs: Skateboards, Selective Attention Test, Frank Lloyd Wright house, Iron Man Heartbreaker armor, Iron Man Silver Centurion, Iron Man in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Ultimate Iron Man   And feel free to hit up your boys on the social media!

What's up, 'Combies! The time has come. A moment 10 years in the making. Avengers: Infinity War has arrived and it wasn't a subtle entrance. It was loud and boisterous, all the while breaking records and hearts. This movie is most definitely a cinematic event and it has left a major impression on everyone that's seen it. So because of that, ya' boys are going to need a little help to unpack so we called in a friend to help us out with that. So come on down, kick back, and join in the group therapy as we deal with the monumental film that just happened to all of us.   (Reminder: This is an 18+ podcast.

What up, 'Combies? Ya boys are about to get REAL DEEP with this episode. It's been a long time coming and we only gave a taste of it a few episodes ago, but HERE is a proper sequel... SHUT UP INTERNET!!! Part 2: SHUT UP MORE!!!! The boys are deep diving into a great many social ills of the modern era and how the internet glorifies and sometimes even causes them. This one's a bit cathartic too, so give a listen and you might hear us discuss something relevant to you too.    'Dem Refs: Michael B.

Alright, 'Combies! Your boys are back with something special for you today.

Alright, 'Combies! After our recent milestone (see the last episode), we decided to take a bit easy for this episode and moved our natural analysis towards something a bit broader. Looking over the broad spectrum of fictional media, for this episode, we're looking at tropes. That's right, tropes; cliches and concepts that we've seen pop up in book after book, movie after movie, etc. There's a lot of them out there, so ya' boys decided to address the ones that we like and the ones that we loathe. Also, get ready to learn some interesting stuff about our esteemed host. It's a hoot this time around, so come on down and let's get into it!  And don't forget, 'Combies, you can also find The Honeycomb Hideout on iTunes for the Apple-users in our audience!

Alright, 'Combies! Welcome to 2018! Not even a month in and things are all too "interesting" already. But, for our 50th episode, we're tackling something exceptionally divisive within the geek community and doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon. With the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, there's been a wave of love and outrage over this movie that hasn't been seen since the Prequels as the fanbase is virtually split down the middle over it. (Star Wars: Civil War? Nah! Too redundant.) So now, your boys are diving into the film with a full review and in-depth discussion of it. So come on down, find out how The Last Jedi made us feel, and our take on the internet's reaction to the movie. It's gonna be a trip, y'all! Oh and for those that actually are interested in the oddity that is the "Ugandan Knuckles" meme... ::sighs:: ...here. And feel free to hit up your boys on the social media!

We're going to be diving into the latest entries of the big two of comic book companies' film universes; Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League! Your SPOILER WARNING has been issued, so no complainin' after we start! So come on, take a load off with ya' boys as we dive into the big 2's latest offering.  ;)   Oh, and Drew's Twitch channel?

Alright, 'Combies! Your boys have returned with some things to say. There's some heavy stuff going on out in the world and we're discussing it. We've got a lot of news lately about sexual harassment and assault of both men and women in show business going on and, while it's been happening for a long time, it's not being kept so quiet anymore. People are speaking out and against some surprising names. And the fun doesn't stop there! There's also been another kind of assault but this one is on a piece of America's soul; an attack on the internet. There's an attempt to repeal Net Neutraility and you can bet we have a lot to say about that too. So come on down as your boys get REAL deep with it this time around. But that's not all... It is a two-parter, afrer all.  So get ready for the next one later on this week!   And feel free to hit up your boys on the social media!

ALRIGHT, 'COMBIES!! Now, we've reached a point in time in which there's so much unfortunateness and ugliness in our day-to-day lives. I mean, it's everywhere you turn! So, in an attempt to combat this and keep our audience's moods on the upswing, your boys have got you covered with another melee episode! We're busting out our nuclear option to make sure y'all remember that, while things may suck A LOT, they don't have to all the time.

Alright, 'Combies! The boys are giving you another meal-style roller coaster of an episode for you. We talk a bit more about long-standing cases reaching undesirable resolutions and the inherent trends surrounding them (police keep messing up and people in general can't stop sucking in bad ways). BUT! We aren't just talking about depressing stuff (though a lot of it is pretty heavy), we're also going to be reviewing a little piece of awesomeness that defied all expectations.

Alright, ‘Combies!! The boys are back again and they’ve got a pretty interesting topical ascension this time around. They’re bringing an  all too necessary discussion of the insanely frequent unarmed shootings of people of color, the ridiculous outrage over the “Women Only” showing of “Wonder Woman” at the Alamo Drafthouse and a long overdue review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Listen to them ramble as they tackle the spectrum of recent pop culture events, recollections of past awesome, hatred of Apple and ask questions like “Why?” and “WTF?”. Also, listen as the boys incur the wrath of one with far more authority and power than they.

And what a time for it. With a new president carving out his “legacy” even before he takes office now finally having taken office, there’s been a reaction and it will not be ignored. And they’re going to drunkenly talk about it (and somehow manage to be poignant too)!
