This is part 1 of a giant-sized VIDEO of Ed and Producer Bill asking, “Is Frank Quitely The Greatest”. WATCH us go through his entire career chronologically on The Greatest Pod YouTube https://youtube.com/@thegreatestpod5755 accompanied by visual examples of specific pages from his illustrious career and you’ll SEE why we think so. A comic book artist has to be a designer, a draftsman, a character designer, an architect, and most of all a problem solver. If someone does one or two of these things supremely well you can be a superstar comic book artist, but if you do all of them equally well you’re a genius. Quitely is a storyteller above all else. Every skill, and every instinct he has is in service of story and that makes him the Greatest. Next week Part 2!!

This episode, “Is The Authority The Greatest” could also have been called “Is The Authority The Greatest Influence” because we make a case for the original Bryan Hitch and Warren Ellis run being the most ripped-off comic book of the last thirty years. Its influence ripples to this day in the modern conception of the superhero film from looks to morality, especially in the MCU. Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill talk about how The Authority fits (or DOESN’T) into DC’s future publishing and movie universe under James Gunn. If you want a primer on the characters or an in-depth exploration of their past, present, and possible future, either way we got you covered.

This one is going to show The Greatest Pod’s musical tastes and our ages, but we also make some compelling arguments for our “Greatest Movie Soundtracks”. There are of course interesting choices and glaring omissions. We discuss and debate the soundtracks that introduced us to new songs back in the pre-Tik Tok music market. How fresh did “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg on the Above The Rim soundtrack make a young Producer Bill feel? Did Ron reach his athletic peak listening to a song from the Rocky 3 soundtrack? Which song from the Jackie Brown soundtrack gives Ed the relentless feels? Listen to this and you’ll know!

“The Greatest Immortal'' is where this episode starts but Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill quickly find themselves discussing what their individual goals would be if they could not die. Sure there’s some talk about Galactus, The Highlander, demons, vampires like Lestat, and such but the episode is very much a Rorschach test. Fantasies we’ve never told anyone bubble to the surface and questions abound. Does morality remain a part of your life FOREVER if you know you’ll never actually “meet your maker”? Anybody can be a good person for 70 years, what about a thousand? Conversely, is it possible, even probable, that you’d become a great person on a long enough timeline? With all that time to work on yourself couldn’t you become anything you wanted? Why or why not? What would your goals be and how would that change over time? This ep is basically our interrogation of the concept of belief systems through a pop culture lens. Yeah, we’re deep. Dive in!

This one is a nerd’s dream. “The Greatest Supersoldiers” is Ed and Producer Bill breaking down the concept of the soldier as superhero. Have the changing cultural attitudes about the military industrial complex affected pop culture depictions of this type of character? The way the guys discuss the bodies, powers, adventures, morals, and skills of these ultrahuman characters is truly inventive. This one’s another classic deep dive as we dissect the past, present, and future of the super soldier archetype. Enjoy!

Bang this one in the comic book shops cuz it’s provocative! It really gets the people going!
Everybody knows that Marvel and DC copy each other’s characters so in “The Greatest Comic Book Doppelgangers” Ed, Ron, and Producer Bill try to determine which of these extremely similar characters is the best. Who is Marvel’s Martian Manhunter? Who is DC’s Daredevil? The answers may surprise you. Who is the best between Aquaman and Namor or Hawkeye vs. Green Arrow? What characters are more or less equal and why? Another all-timer from the crew with plenty of laughs and Jack Handey level deep thoughts on whether imitation is actually the sincerest form of flattery.

Ed and guest host, author, actor, and comedian Anastasia Washington ask, “Is Eddie Murphy The Greatest”. They share what Eddie Murphy means to their comedy and their lives and examine his profound cultural impact. They discuss the highs and the lows and the mistakes of the past but this one is full of heart and laughs. This episode includes an examination of the movie scene that might have awakened the sleeping giant within Ed as a kid. How were they so fluent in Eddie Murphy’s comedy when they were way too young? Which of Eddie Murphy’s many hit (and disastrous) roles are Ed and Anastasia's favorites? The answers are within!

“The Greatest Superhero Bodies Part 3” is the continuation of a series that we started on our Patreon (patreon.com/TheGreatestPod) about what superhero bodies would *really* look like in order to function the way they do. We talk about some popular favorites like Superman and Wonderwoman as well as some oddballs like Lobo and cosmic gods like Galactus. This contains some of our most hilarious riffs and some of our nerdiest thinking. A great way to introduce others to our pod. This one is us in a nutshell. *Special Thanks to Chuck Clarke for inspiring a lot of this episode with his comment on the last Superhero bodies ep on Patreon. Thanks so much Chuck!!!*
