Aaron Duran has some interesting ideas on marketing, inspired by Evan Dorkin, whose book he's pimping this week. Also interesting? The Egg Industries latest attempt to duck the salmonella scare. Other topics include: Damn near everything that happened over the weekend. Read Comics in Public Day, The Emmys and their irrelevancy, What would happen if Batman was in a John Hughes movie? Should airplanes have child-only sections, and the scientific theorem that states if someone fictional does something in a movie, you should be able to do it, too.

A bit of delirious goofiness infects the show as Aaron Duran visits. Topics include - The pope's strange fear of gazebos and barbecue, The impending bear uprising thanks to global warming, and how that's not actually a joke, Cort's terrible camping trip, and how only the soothing sounds of CeeLo Green could save him, helpful hints for white people wishing to sing along to CeeLo's summer jam, Rex Mundi - the comic book that succeeds (storywise) where Dan Brown crapped the bed, The oncoming onslaught of Batmans, and the strange lenghts we will go to to win wars with our alarm clocks.

Aaron Duran comes not to talk comics, so much as he comes to discuss subjects near and dear to the hearts of your average american. Subjects like: Why your kids shouldn't eat dogfood, Where your social security is going, why your next hire will probably try to punch you in your face, harsh childhood realizations about vulcanizing, the abusable return policy at Wal-Mart, Cort's depressing trip to that fine establishment over the weekend, and the state's latest enemy-making attempt at shutting down homebrew competitions. Plus - Mythbusters, Yogi Bear, Tacos, and the strange crap people hang from their face.

Today's Episode is best summed up by this phrase: "What is this I don't even." Co-starring Aaron Duran, who managed to review "Queen and Country" amidst some of the most scattered and absurd free-associative ridiculousness on the show in quite awhile. Things get so weird and off-kilter that time itself begins to unravel. Cosmic mediocrity on display. Godspeed.

An Impressively nerderiffic hour with Aaron Duran, Geek in the City, in which a Comic-Con post-mortem is performed and found to be mortally wounded via KNIFE TO THE EYE. Speaking of ocular stab-wounds, the glory of THE GOON is pronounced and echoed to the heavens. Other topics include: Arizona tries to be Mini-Texas with an awesome new gun law, The Adventures of the Potty-Mouth Red-Shirt, The Whedon Method of Character Development, and why aren't there gay action movies, or at least OVERTLY gay action movies?

Aaron Duran defends his voluntary drinking of malt liquor that even bums don't drink unless they absolutely have to. And then he talks about one of the finest graphic novels ever created: Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's "Transmetropolitan." Plus - more insight into Mr. Duran's prior work history, and his more Durden-like abilities. Other topics include - Sarah Palin gets in a twitter fight, Inception incites a wave of smartypants reactions, The existential horror of the Lois & Clark pilot episode, and how to tell what parts of Die Hard are a dream, and what are real.

Aaron Duran survives a rough weekend of Pirate deployment and soul-theft. Still a better job than his one-day stint as a gay phone sex operator. He also reviews Brian Michael Bendis' latest crime epic, discusses the necessity of Norton as Banner, and smashes down with full force on the panic button Facebook just installed on their site. Other topics include - Switzerland gets crossed off the government's Christmas Card list, Cleveland suffers a real tragedy this weekend and it has nothing to do with basketball, and tales of the greatest hater in the world.

Strange that a show that is so fundamentally broken would run so long, but that's what happens when The Badness infects Fatty's tongue. Aaron Duran does his best to soldier on in the face of failure, but succumbs to the curse himself, while the Captain smiles and sharpens his knives. Subjects include: Meme-ing Fred Rogers, Suicide by Racism, 2nd rate Superheroes and their snack-based hijinks, and old guy died, a comedian got elected, Fame vs. The Boondock Saints, Funemployment aftermath, and the secret life of David Fincher.

Aaron Duran gets his geek on amidst a general air of craziness, leading to topics including: The Pork Board trying to wage war against Think Geek's Unicorn Meat; We stood by as they came for the smokers, and we said NANNER; How the Jonah Hex film failed horribly, and why it's neither Megan Fox's fault, nor is it the comics fault; The fearsome, bearded might of Alan Moore; And other stuff like leaving Afghanistan and what it has to do with Sting's post-police oeuvre, Courage Wolf, Ground Kontrol secures its dominance as the world's best arcade, and everybody loves it when the squinty one hurts the fat one with sharp things.
