Moon Knight Breakdown - Fireside Classics

What better way to celebrate the release of Moon Knight on Disney+ with a classic issue of Fireside Chats. This issue was released back in August of 2019 well before any real information about the show was available. In fact, at the time of this recording we didn’t even know that Oscar Isaac would be taking on the role. Enjoy this look back at our show and gain some knowledge about the character.

Moon and Midnights - Fireside Chats Issue 595

“I died once... It was boring so I got up.” That was the line dear Firesiders. The quote that brought Mendte to the temple of Moon Knight where Maurer was giving his sermon, preaching to all that would listen… Moon Knight is one of Marvel Comics’ greatest characters. After those potentially leaked photos from the upcoming Disney Plus series hit the internet, we were a little concerned. That’s not what we see when we think Moon Knight, but Father Maurer had a thought… what if some of those leaks are not Marc Spector? What if they were the Midnight Man!

Fireside Chats Issue 426: The Itis

You are going to have to forgive us for this one Firesiders. We all have a bad case of postprandial somnolence a.k.a. A Food Coma, or better yet the Itis... and it hit us hard. Mr. Maurer was being nice (It also simultaneously started snowing in Hell) and made a Labor Day feast. Well, the meal won and we still needed to record... so bare with us. Join Mendte, Mr. Maurer, and Baby Huey as they talk Venom, Doomsday Clock, Green Lantern, and of course... Joker. Welcome to Fireside... I need a nap.
