Episode 50: “Heidegger’s Ghost”

Feels like it’s been a minute, yeah?! Well, we missed talking to y’all about Alpha Flight as much as you missed hearing us talk to you about Alpha Flight. We didn’t miss talking about this Hudnall run, but such is the cross WE ALL bear. Still, we have a pretty good time chatting across these two issues, what with some celebrity casting (even an avante garde take on such), some conversation around 20th Century German philosophy, and the way kids don’t sit properly in chairs. Maybe it’s more us chatting AROUND these two issues…
