Comic Book Men [tv show]

Post by GreyWizzard »

It's a reality show about the 4 guys who work at Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Combines footage from the store, a podcasting with Kevin Smith (used to give the overall direction of the ep) and some weekly antics.

Very enjoyable, super nerdy. I loved every second of it.

I know I'll be the only person to post in this... But I strongly urge anyone who is into "geek" culture to check this out. I've flipped my shit so many times over the awesome stuff that comes into the store. I don't want to ruin any of the stuff because it's pretty suprising what stuff people have in there collections.

I find myself laughing a lot at some of the conversations and situations the team find themselves in. It just feels real. Nothing seems scripted, it's just genuine stuffing around with mates doing what they love.

This is tough - it sounds really good, yet you also think it's good which cancels that out. Can anyone else recommend this?

I'm grabbing both episodes now. I'll give you the Homeland Heads Up once I've viewed the episodes.

For the record I trust some of Grey's choices.

Thumbs sideways.

The show can have a few interesting moments and trivia but you have to put up with some rubbish throughout as well. I guess it's worth watching for a few of us because there's bound to be an artefact from a movie that will interest you. Or stories about comics we've never heard of...or possibly an idea of price for something you might have.

Give it a go but go in with low expectations.

Yeah, I felt the same. I'd prefer it if it was just all store stuff and podcast footage. The extra antics just seemed like filler and only actually done for the show.

I like all the antics. It just feels like friends cocking about. I dunno maybe I relate to it better because I'm geeky like them or something...

I think I'd prefer it if Smith wasn't in it and instead it just focused on Walt, Mike, Ming and Bryan Johnson. Should mix in some Sunday Jeff as well.

I still like it though.

6 episodes is not enough :(

I've added smodcast to my internet radio stations in anticipation of The Secret Stash.

The best thing about The Walking Dead is that it means Comic Book Men is back.

I love it so much. I just laugh my arse off.
