S06E09: Weird War Tales #115 - You Can't Pin a Medal on a Robot

We took to YouTube to review "Death Smiles Thrice!" from Weird War Tales #121 and the one-page conlusion to the Commandos' story from the final issue, "Destination Unknown!" We were joined by friends of the show via video and chat and had a great time. Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Mb7msRNmpPA?feature=share We'll see you in January for the final season! Happy holidays!

Fed up with being feared and despised by the civilians they protect, the Commandos jump at a chance to see if the world of 2943 holds an opportunity for them to return to their human states. It gets a little weird. MAIL: [email protected]  STORE: https://bronzeagemonsters.threadless.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/BronzeAgeMonsters DISCORD: https://discord.gg/NcFaq9Ednq

We've got double your monster pleasure with WWT #117's "A Miracle for Monsters!" and 118's "Heroes Come in Small Sizes" as the Commandos are finally free of Lt. Shrieve and, without a commanding officer, take in the sights of war-time Paris. Then, we learn how they were awarded medals from the King of England!

We're joined by death metal god Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome, et al) for a jumbled tale of Roman gods, mis-used monsters, and a conversation about how invested Robert Kanigher really was in this book.

Meet the new J.A.K.E., same as the old J.A.K.E....or his he? Sgt. Coker & the G.I. Robot get leave in dear old Blighty and end up personal guests of a royal princess in a castle in Scotland! Is this G.I. Robot a pile of nuts and bolts or does he have the capacity to love? The Creature Commandos are also there.

We're joined by Marvel by Month's Bryan Stratton & Jamie Wenger! Forget Schrödinger's cat; we've got Kanigher's comic. How can a war comic be both ridiculously surreal and disturbingly real at the same time? The commandos go deep undercover in Germany as a traveling circus freakshow to kidnap Einstein's bomb buddy from a Nazi concentration camp!  If you aren't already subscribed to MbtM, you're comics-podcast listening wrong!

After Rommel lands a crushing blow on the Allied forces in Tunisia, the Creature Commandos are sent in to keep the Afrika Corps off balance until reinforcements arrive. Did YOU know about this? Why wasn't this part in the history books??! Anyway, yadda yadda: an ancient gorgon pyramid tomb and some magic wine later, we have doll-sized monsters. All in a day's work for our "freaks."

Kanigher's newest new G.I. Robot, J.A.K.E. #1 meets up with our motley crew of monstrous misfits when they return to the South Pacific to investigate some mysterious attacks on Allied ships. The resulting adventure defies pithy blurb explanations!

We took to the YouTubes for the introduction of the newest Commando. If the goal was to tap into humanity's collective unconscious and use our most ancient and intuitive fears as a weapon against our enemies: it doesn't get much older or scarier than our newest "freak"...
