The Boys from the NE return yet again to their DC retrospective, this time covering the penultimate episode in their pre-Flashpoint Paradox, Justice League Retrospective. Due to some time contraints, we ended up doing this two parter review in reverse. So this week we'll get the commentary on Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and several weeks later, the review of Earth 2 will grace your podcast feeds. We're a little low energy on this one, but don't worry folks! We're still very excited to be here, finishing up a retrospective that has run on a bit longer than we were intending--but stay tuned for the coming Superman retrospective!
And make sure to keep that dial turned to The Novice Elitists for the stinger at the end, where we detail some of our plans for the Superman series.

Following up on our recent review of Darwyn Cooke's epic, DC: The New Frontier, we turn our eyes to the 2008 adaption of (mostly) the same name. Finally kicking off our series reviewing the DC animated films, we're starting with the second one they did in the DCAU. What will your hosts think of a film that condensed a 400 page book down to 75 minutes? Well, you might be able to guess, but tune in anyway, cause why not!

The boys from the NE return to the bar and they've brought along their Novice Elitists brand jackhammers and hard hats. That's right folks, your pair of buds are once again breaking new ground on the podcast as we try our first attempt at a comic book review!
Taking a panel by panel deep dive, we discuss Darwyn Cooke's superhero magnum opus, DC: The New Frontier.
The runtime got away from us on this one, but we couldn't be happier to finally dip our toes into the wider world of comic book coverage. So keep an eye out for more comic book reviews in the future. (probably at shorter runtimes) 🤟

Covering the last of Jason's halloween themed picks, we're jumping back to Justice League season one, with A Knight of Shadows.

So come take part in our experiment and hit play when we say now!

Jumping back into the realm of the Justice League, The Novice Elitists boys have turned their eyes to the 1978 series, The Challenge of the Superfriends. We've got on our lab coats, and Isaac's got the scalpel, as we prepare to dissect this 70's DC oddity. Watch along with us folks, cause this is another one of us mainly reacting to what's happening on the screen. But boy is it a doozy.
