All five bears are back in the CBB den this week to talk about Suicide Squad, the third movie in the DC Extended Universe series of films.

Comic Book Bears Podcast Issue #102 - Preacher vs Stranger Things

This week's Comic Book Bears Podcast episode finds Billy Z, Steve and (eventually) Matt talking about two television programs that have been on the minds of many folks these past few weeks.  In one corner you have Jessie Custer, Tulip and Cassidy! In the other, you have Dustin, Eleven and - sigh - Benny! So tune in to our SPOILER FILLED examination of both AMC's PREACHER (based upon the Vertigo series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon) and STRANGER THINGS from Netflix!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah - we know that STRANGER THINGS isn't really comic book related but sometimes we throw the rules out the window ... and into the Upside Down.)

Intro - "Reflections of You" by Bear in Heaven

Outro - "If I Was a Folkstar" by The Avalanches
