New Podcast: Comics to Screen

  In January of 2018 I embarked on a quest to watch every movie based on an English language comic book. I have finally completed my quest. So now what? Well, it's been suggested to me that I should have some sort of forum to discuss my views on the films I watched, and so I'm launching a new podcast, Super Entertainment presents Comics to Screen, in which I will discuss comic book movies. This won't just be film reviews. Because these are all comic book movies, each podcast, I will discuss the history of the comics that the films are based upon, how well the film adapted the source material, and where the film fits into a larger continuity (such as it's placement in the MCU timeline, or is it part of the Arrowverse multiverse, etc.) And of course, I will also offer my uneducated, but very opinionated views of the films I watched, to tell you if they were gold or garbage. The new podcast won't launch for a little while. I have to get a new laptop that can sto...

The forgotten Crewsie. At the same time that Matt Hickman had joined the Crew, I had also extended an invitation to John D. Lindsey Jr. John  has been one of my most valuable resources, not only for the Television Crossover Universe, but more specifically for the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia.  Those who are familiar with this website or our discussion forum are likely family with John's contributions.

The Television Crossover Universe Celebrates CHRIS NIGRO!

We now move from the website contributors to the podcast hosts. When the Television Crossover Universe podcast was launched, the three original three co-hosts were all website contributors.  Thus, the show was hosted by the TVCU Crew.  Not longer after, Chris Nigro became the first co-host to have never contributed the the website, and thus the definition of TVCU Crew membership was expanded. Chris Nigro has been a regular in our discussion forum, and runs several of his own discussion groups and websites.  Chris was a guest on our show and a guest co-host shortly after, and people liked him, and we liked him, so he became a regular. Chris has also written the foreword for Television Crossover Universe:  Worlds and Mythology Volume I . When I presented the idea of these bios to the TVCU Crew, I gave them a short interview questionaire, purely optional.  Here are Chris' answers: 1. My favorite crossover remains the one between Universal's Frank...
