With one of the biggest movies coming up, this is a good time for your friendly comic geek to explain some of the stuff that is going on before you watch Deadpool and Wolverine. I am not the God of stories (Loki), but I will weave both the comic origins and what some of the movies got wrong between Deadpool and Wolverine. Get comfy, as this is a ride. As always, I thank you for taking the time to listen. Much appreciated.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to listen. Today, I talk about Betty Boop and the very interesting story that comes along with her. I mean, you have seen her one way or the other. From T-shirts to Jewelry to cameos in movies, you know who she is. She was before Marylin Monroe and Barbie, and I will tell you that she deserves a movie. I will say that I thought that the comic strip was first, but I was wrong. Enjoy me trying to explain all of it and hope you learn something from it.

Today I talk about a classic name in the Sci-Fi genre. Over my research, I learned that George Lucas wanted to do the movie and in time Taika Waititi wanted to make his own version of Flash Gordon. Warning, I talk more about the cult classic 1980 movie, so geek talk ahead :).

Hope you enjoy
