Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:34:51 -0600

Sometimes it's difficult to record episodes on a regular basis because producing comic books is crazy work. In those cases, we steal other podcasts and play them as our own. Like this one: Quinn and Robert were recently interviewed on the "Star Joes" Podcast with Chuck and Ryan, where they talked all about "Elders of the RuneStone" and even got to discuss their "TMNT" love.

It's "Adventure Time"!

DCACCP #71: Green Lantern, He-Man, Iron Monkey, and More!

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:12:16 -0600

As you can expect from the title of this episode, Quinn and Robert suggest a fair number of properties as their “Picks of the Week.” From a discussion of how “Green Lantern” is faring at the box office to the voice actor behind He-Man and TMNT favorite Leonardo, this episode has a little something for everyone. Even Skeletor would be proud.

DCACCP #70: "X-Men: First Class" Review and Discussion

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:22:03 -0600

The Pantyhose Ninjas’ mutant power would be the ability to overuse redundant praises.

DCACCP #63: The Casual Episode of Awesome Stuff

Tue, 1 Mar 2011 11:20:40 -0700

The Pantyhose Ninjas take a slightly more casual approach to this episode (is that even possible?) as they ramble about awesome stuff you should check out. How is this any different? Well, these intermittent casual episodes may just end up replacing the “Picks of the Week” segments in future standard episodes. Let us know what you think! P.S. Despite Quinn’s claim that he’ll “be brief” about the cool stuff he mentions, well...you probably know how that will turn out...

DCACCP #47: "Airbender" Reviews

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:37:52 -0600

Rarely do the Pantyhose Ninjas discuss a production that is NOT awesome. If, however, such a creation is an adaptation of a property that IS awesome, it is our responsibility to warn you not to fall into its trap. Enter M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender." Oh well. At least we've got another childish word of the day to help cheer you.

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:38:04 -0600

Sat, 22 May 2010 02:10:46 -0600

While debatably insignificant, the Pantyhose Ninjas also discuss things other than Chuck Norris in this episode. For example: "Titans," "Real American Hero(es)," and slapping people in the face.
