AKIRA 4K Theater Review, Marvel No-Prize Lore & Star Trek III at 60
The League crew reunites as John Hunt joins Matt Dursin and Clay N. Ferno to break down theatrical re-releases, anime milestones, and vintage comic lore.
We review the 4K theatrical presentation of AKIRA, debating the manga versus movie adaptation and classic dubs. We then unpack comic book history with a rare 1983 Marvel No-Prize book and a Stan Lee "No Thanks" letter, exploring classic continuity fixes and fandom culture. We cap it off by celebrating 60 years of Star Trek with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and "Amok Time," ranking Enterprise designs and sharing memories from John's run as an IDW Trek colorist.

Grab your flask and check out our latest Curbcast, unless you think you’re too good for it. If you do listen, maybe give it a “ha-ha,” or write us an inspirational quote, like, “Tough times remind us that our spirits are strong.” I can’t type a heart emoji here, but I would if I could.
If you need a pip of a podcast during your Thanksgiving travels, consider the League’s latest episode on Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell’s classic His Girl Friday. We get the slop on the movie, and some funny commentary to boot. And if you don’t like it, well, we got two words for you: Get Out!
The League start another new endeavor with our Talking Turkeys series, just in time for Thanksgiving! And we start off with a great bad movie: Robocop III. A different guy in the suit, but still a big, ol’, heaping, wet, sloppy, drippy helping of Frank Miller.
The League returns for Part 2 of our The Invisible Man Do-Over, where we compare and contrast the 1933 and 2020 films; basically one is goofy and the other is horror (for idiots.)
The Gents take a deep dive many “leagues” under the sea as we look through our periscopes at the Burt Lancaster/Clack Gable classic Run Silent, Run Deep. Since we’ve run out of puns, maybe just listen to the episode.
