In this episode, Tom looks at the third and final issue of the Green Lantern tryout, where Carol Ferris has marriage on her mind to a psychotic degree, Hal Jordan seems intent on calling some people 'dark faced', and we witness the debut of the menace men call--well, Tom calls--Chicken Head Mohawk.

In this episode, we continue our look at the early stories in the Captain America solo series, which features the introduction of a major enemy...who gets his revenge on Cap elsewhere, a Rick Jones who is at turns ignored and patronized, and the discovery that even bad guys love hearing Cap talk!

In this episode, Tom looks at the second issue of the three part Green Lantern tryout in Showcase 23, where the Emerald Gladiator's first super villain is revealed to be a radiation-sucking empty suit, Carol tells Hal they can't be together before asking him to hook her up, and we learn the natural enemy of yellow pteradactyls from Venus.

The second of our episodes exploring the media incarnations of Marvel Comics super-heroes (originally a bonus episode tied in with the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer), featuring Tom finally laying the infamous 'NBC Booted The Human Torch Off The '78 Cartoon Because They Were Afraid Kids Would Light Themselves On Fire' urban legend (For the last time, It's NOT TRUE, folks!), the Guys Outta Brooklyn examining the story behind the never-released Roger Corman film--which is more interesting than the film itself--and a look at the ultra-obscure radio series.  The episode also contains Tom and Derrick discussing the sequel with more enthusiasm than facts...lucky for us, the sequel deserved it.

One of our most elaborately produced early episodes (and it's not without its own hazards--there's a drop in audio quality about twenty minutes in) sees The Guys Outta Brooklyn explore the George Romero Zombie series.  Not only do we examine the first four films set in Romero's zombie storyline, we look at the remakes of Night of The Living Dead and Dawn of The Dead.  Plus, the legendary first 'Canada...what gives?' moment.

In this episode, Tom begins his survey of the solo stories of Marvel's Star-Spangled Avenger, Captain America, with a story that features, well, lots of thugs in jumpsuits with crash helments.

Our second preview episode from 2007, which shows the development of that winning Better In The Dark formula, as Tom and Derrick take the time away from looking at the movies to talk about Don Imus, DVD buying habits, funny voiced celebrities (including Tom's first impersonation of a celebrity) and why they don't care about Transformers.

A smaller podcast featuring Tom Deja sharing classic silver age runs with you, looking at them through modern eyes.  This episode begins a survey of the Emerald Guardian, the Hal Jordan Green Lantern, with his very first appearance in Showcase 22!  Come experience the first three adventures of the ring-slinger, and witness Tom's incredulous reaction to the Hal Jordan/Carol Ferris relationship.

The first in our now-legendary survey of Marvel Characters in the movies--tied in to the then-current release of Spider-Man 3--sees Tom and Derrick examine the wall-crawler in cartoons, live action and the first two Sam Raimi films!  It also contains from far-from-accurate speculations, and far more enthusiasm about the third film than it ultimately deserved.

Another blast from the past (soon to be updated), as Tom and Derrick examines the premiere pulp series in movies, the Indiana Jones series.  Join us as we examine with more enthusiasm than facts the films that made all of us want to learn how to weild a whip!

Return to where it all began, with the first all-too-primitive episode of Better In The Dark.  Here, The Guys Outta Brooklyn examine upcoming films for March and April 2007.  Enjoy our early baby steps before we can even think about walking!
