Episode 92

In which it's all your fault, you fools! After a week of silence, the Off-Panelists are back and less mature than ever, as the Sloth and the Southerner once again take hold of the show where the tensions are usually high and the ink is usually fresh. Following a recap of headlines coming in straight out of New York Comic-Con, the two follow up lengthy discussions following the announced return of one of the most outspokenly missed characters in the DCU and fifteen minutes straight of talking up seasons one through three of "Breaking Bad" by reviewing such books as Jonathan Hickman's The Manhattan Projects, the latest chapter in Zero Year of Scott Snyder's Batman, a new release in the form of Kieron Gillen's Three, and others.

Taking the 'tensions are high' motto to heart, join the Scotsman, the Spainiard, and the Sloth as they delve into such topics as Fox's announcement to make an X-Force movie, the return of Marvel Knights, the Inhumans getting a new series, and more! Then, when it comes time to do the reviews, the gloves are off as the divisively minded take on such releases as Mark Waid's Daredevil, Scott Snyder's Batman and Superman Unchained, Jeff Parker's Batman '66, Robert Vendetti's Demon Knights, and even John Lees' own very book, The Standard!

Episode 45

In which The Off-Panelists take it easy for the week and forget that they're doing a podcast, going into reviews a-plenty and settling old scores. With the Southerner, the Sloth, and the Seducer in to repeatedly insult a noticeable absence, the three set about reviewing their books for the week and get a fangirl's opinion on the latest sadistic offerings for the return of Batman's greatest enemy, transform and roll out, hope that Jason Aaron didn't kill off one of his own beloved creations, and mull over the all-important question: Is the status quo always a good thing? Plus, the three review the pilot episode of The CW's "Arrow". Did it hit or miss? Listen in to find out.

Episode 23

In which the crew briefly turn The Off-Panel Podcast into The Off-Channel Podcast, as they engage in a lengthy discussion about television before moving onto reviews of the week's books, which includes confusion over who this 'Batman' person is, John's cameo that was left on the cutting room floor, the horrifying truth behind Gotham City's rogues gallery, a one-sentence review of a recent #1, the power to cloud men's minds and it's relation to genital mutilation, a spirited one-sided debate about Justice League #8, and a sobering discussion about the treatment of classic creators of the medium. Once that's all said and done, they cap off the week with everyone's favorite pastime: Viciously insulting the only fans they have.
