Major Issues Podcast

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts celebrate 20 years of Josie and the Pussycats, the cult classic that went from misunderstood box office flop to one of the sharpest satires of the music industry and consumer culture. They revisit the film’s ahead-of-its-time commentary on branding, corporate influence, and manufactured fame, while breaking down the performances, soundtrack, and chaotic energy that helped it find a second life years later. The conversation also explores why the movie resonates more now than it did on release and how it carved out its own legacy. From its biting humor to its pop-punk attitude, this is a retrospective on a film that was always smarter than it got credit for. But does it hold up? Tune in and see!

This week on Major Issues, the guys dive into the massive 2026 crossover event Superman / Spider-Man #1. Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez lead the charge with a story that finally pits the Man of Steel and the Web-Slayer against a Brainiac and Doc Ock alliance. The crew weighs in on whether the chemistry between Clark and Peter lives up to the hype and if Waid’s love for comic history makes this a modern classic or just a heavy dose of nostalgia. The episode also breaks down the dense lineup of backup stories and the high-profile teams behind them. They shout out the Lois and MJ spotlight by Tom King and Jim Lee, the chaotic Jimmy Olsen short by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, and Christopher Priest’s meta-story with Daniel Sampere. With additional contributions from creators like Sean Murphy, Jeff Lemire, Greg Rucka, and Gail Simone, the hosts debate if this oversized special justifies its price tag or if it’s just a flashy celebration of the Big Two playing nice again.
