Some podcast episodes will bring a detailed review of a recent Marvel movie. Other installments explain the latest offerings people can expect on Comic Book Day. There are also conversations about casting announcements, video game showcases, and more.
The podcast host has spent many years exploring and writing about geek culture. Outlaw studied writing and film for his bachelor's degree and creative writing for his master's. Right after graduation, the host joined Screenrant.com as a writer. At that point, the website was a hobby blog. After Outlaw rose to editor in chief, he transformed it into one of the most notable online publications about cinema. After eight years there, the host decided to move to ComicBook.com, where he is a senior writer. Outlaw reports about everything from Star Trek to Star Wars and other nerdy media.
On this show, Outlaw leads a rotating forum of ComicBook.com contributors. They include Brandon Davis, Matt Aguilar, Megan Peters, and Charlie Ridgely, among others. Each of the guest hosts has an area of passion and expertise. For instance, Peters is a manga fan and a K-pop enthusiast.
