Listen as the home-schooled heretics discuss this powerful story of childhood, religion, and first love. And Merce' talks about the time Big Bird broke her arm.

Episode 72

In which The Off-Panelists stare longingly at walls and contemplate doing reviews, lose their train of thought and decide that people who don't spend money are the scum of the earth - while not spending money. Join the Scotsman, the Southerner, and the Sloth as they delve deep into Brian K. Vaughn's second installment of The Private Eye, have a surprising reaction to an issue of Batman, continue to lament the loss of facial hair and body fat in the pages of Suicide Squad, dream of owning a tiger as a result of The Walking Dead, and set sail on viking ships in space within the pages of Thor: God of Thunder. Following a hasty lightning round, the three discover that they, too, can buy free comic books off of eBay, question authority as a potential series, and talk about TV shows for way too long. Free up those pipes, Sergio!

Episode 62

In which The Off-Panelists pair up a pair of pooches and win trivia contests, as the Spaniard, the Sloth, and the Southerner go about bringing forth yet another trio of terribly misinformed reviews and opinions. Beginning with their thoughts on the latest Gorr-centric chapter of Thor: God of Thunder, they also review standouts such as the "serious" issue of Daredevil, the Saga-esque issue of Saga and the supposed death of a major character, the conclusion to the "Throne of Atlantis" arc in Justice League, two polar opposite reactions to Hickman's latest chapter of Avengers, and finally, some Justice League of America #1 thoughts. Rantings, whatever. Also, beginning in this episode - The OPP Lightning Round! Which comics make the cut? Which are quietly ignored? All we know is, this podcast is a comics podcast wrapped inside a case for mental illness.

Episode 49

In which The Off-Panelists count their cupcakes before they're baked and burn some crosses, as the penultimate episode to OPP #50 offers several in-depth and lengthy reviews of some of the week's standouts, including the final chapter of The Boys, the three latest Marvel Now! relaunches, the nail-biting second chapter of The Death of The Family arc in Batman #14, and some transgender excitement in Demon Knights #14. Plus, they mull over some recent controversial statements regarding female cosplayers and ask themselves the all-important question: How many crocheted Batman cowls does it take to win a "pretty neat"? Not all is what it appears to be.
