MSU BFA Musical Theatre ‘22 Semi-retired Actor Comics Scholar Fledgling Human Autistic Host of the SubteXtMen Podcast

Welcome to SubteXtMen, a podcast focused on the literary adventures of Marvel’s merry mutants! Join your host, Chapman Blake, as they work alongside a plethora of wonderful guests to bring you monthly recaps of the X-Men’s adventures in prose.

The logo for the SubteXtMen podcast. It features the words “Subtext Men” in classic red and blue comics font on top an archaic looking speech bubble. The words “a podcast” are in white below the speech bubble. The speech bubble extends from a red and blue book in classic comics style. The background is green with blue speckles ala old school comics coloring.

Everyone talks about the hyper-detailed scripts of Alan Moore, but please spare a moment for this Chris Claremont plot synopsis that takes the time to mention Kitty Pryde's inconspicuously-placed poster of Katherine Hepburn.

Finished Batman & Robin (1949) this afternoon, and overall, my thoughts are that Lowery is a better Bruce than Batman, Duncan may be one of my favorite Robins, Talbot was a dependable yet unremarkable Gordon, and Jane Adam’s’ Vicki Vale genuinely steals the show in as much as the script allows

Here it is! I got to be a guest on my absolute favorite podcast! They let me ramble about everything from video games to my grandparents and everything in between. A huge thank you to the GGW team for taking a chance on a random fan/aspiring comics scholar!
