The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen, Volume 3 Issue 12: Thanksgiving and Books without Pictures
The League gives thanks for a good year and talks about our favorite novels and writers. And yes, it does occasionally degrade into comics talk. We can't help ourselves.

For better or worse, the character of
Rocky Balboa is one of the most recognizable in cinema history.
Sylvester Stallone’s from the streets to the championship underdog boxer powerfully resonated with audiences, spawning after it’s initial 1976 Best Picture winning film, five sequels, concluding…

“Wings of Desire: The Criterion Collection Edition”
Brace yourself kiddies, because I’m gonna get all arty here on you for a second. I can’t help it in this case. German director

I was prepared, going into this 2009 documentary, to be lectured on about the evils of
‘frankenfood’ a term the organic foods industry likes to toss around in such a general sense, that it actually causes harm. Take for instance, the wide-spread famine in Zambia when their leaders were…

CYRUS: I'm done. No more evil kids. Or evil kid-like things. I need a break. I'm positively inundated with miniature threats. It's as if it was a new Japanese economic invasion but upon our horror films instead of our electronic devices. I skipped
"Orphan"…

The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen, Volume 3 Issue 10: A Halloween Apology and League Lounge Live
Yeah, so, we did indeed lose the Halloween party LEOG but from what little is preserved (thrown into this podcast for good measure) you can probably tell that we were already at that too-drunk-to-be-doing-this-anyway point. Regardless, this week we took questions from the chat in the League Lounge from live users and managed to answer more of your questions than usual. Check it:…

“Whatever Works”
This new
Woody Allen film was originally written by him in 1977 and it really feels that way. While it’s not a…

“Night of the Creeps”
It’s not easy to make an intentionally B-rated film for laughs. Many have tried and failed and only a few have made it past the surprisingly acute scanners of horror/genre film buffs. One of those held high amongst such of my brethren was
“Night of The…

“It’s Garry Shandling’s Show: The Complete Season”
Garry Shandling is one of the oddest men working in comedy. What I like about him is that his character, pretty much the same in his stand-up, this…

The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen, Volume 3 Issue 9: Horror Film

Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted
I’ve gotten too old for stand-up comics who direct their humor at college kids. Wait, now, looking back at all the stand-up I’ve ever liked, I think I was too old for it when I was too young for it. My humor tastes always ran to either the su…

Life on Mars (American Version)
It seems like a shame that a show as good as this only got to 17. This remake of the hit British show outdoes its forerunner in almost every aspect but most especially in the ending, which, unlike its forebear, bothers to tie up all the story…

The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen, Volume 3 Issue 8: Vertigo Comics

In the meantime, we count down to the best holiday starting out with a look at DC's horror/adult comics label and some of the best comics ever made. Check it...
