#komiksman #komiksmanpodcast #tpkp #thekomiksmanmethod

The following 4-hour mega podcast is my recorded hangout with a dear friend, JM Cruz. Among many things, JM is a photographer, musician, and podcaster from his movies, gaming, and pop culture review show, Zero Hour Discussions.

As usual, we covered tons of topics like music, from prog to k-pop, covering anime soundtracks to fete de la musique, and Dream Theater to BINI. Plus an extended discussion on what’s happening about the UFC, classic fights, Mike Tyson, Jake Paul, Alex Pereira and others.

We then talk about the return of President Donald Trump, the death of wokeness, Elon Musk, declassifying CIA stuff, ghosts, and finally upcoming movies like Superman 2025, Captain America: A Brave New World, plus some Snyderverse, the Fall of the MCU and more.
