What starts with a bunch of randomness involving a bushel-full of presents from our Scotty Fusion morphs into a CTC Pod Squad episode about one thing we do best: binge!!

From Orphan Black and Breaking Bad to a minutes-long dissertation from Jay on the wonder that was Lou Ferrigno as the Incredible Hulk, the Pod Squad delivers laughs on the shows we love to binge watch. But, we don’t stop there. (What kind of binge session would THAT be?) We also talk about going hard on food and other delightful things.

The crew returns with a special all-pulp episode! Sadly, John was absent due to being carried off into the jungle by Grodd, Congorilla and Bleep for a birthday party (John likes monkeys), and he contracted some gorilla flu. But the rest of the crew pressed on.

First up, Captain Ron filled us in on his adventures at PulpFest 2013 with some special contemporary shout-outs.

Then, the guys covered two pulp inspired comics written by Mark Waid: The Rocketeer/The Spirit: Pulp Friction #1, and Green Hornet #4.

And for the main topic, it was all about the BBC/PBS Sherlock television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

And there are new shout-outs this week! Plus some plugs.

So strap on your housecoat, sit back in your cozy leather chair, and gear up for some all pulp fun. It's time to enter the Zone!

Matthew 27: 45-56 What we witness in this life will one day witness against us! Or 'for us', depending on how we've responded; for none of us are 'passive' observers. What happens in this life draws a line in the sand, and we, as we respond, place ourselves on one side or the other. That is especially true of the Cross.

Watching for Wolves

"Wtch out for false prophets...inwardly they are ferocious wolves." Mt 7:15

Our sinful, fallen world is having a love affair with falsehood! the people of God have never been free from the struggle to hold on to the truth. So we shouldn't be surprised when Jesus warns us to watch out: "be on your guard against false prophets...for inwardly they are ferocious wolves."
