## Resource

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Eric Shonborn get imprisoned in space by some Hard-Skins and decide to pass the time by talking about 1993's X-O MANOWAR #0. Like any proper episode of Does This Come in Chromium, Matt derails the conversation immediately by analyzing Manowar lyrics. Then, lest you think the episode gets back on track, Matt and Eric spend almost forty minutes discussing their love of Ted Kord as Blue Beetle. After that, the conversation about X-O Manowar begins. Both Matt and Eric agree that the Ron Maz/Bart Sears run rules - which is great because that's not what they're here to talk about. Along the way, Eric recalls his rebellious youth where he refused to follow Wizard Magazine's marching orders, while Matt obsesses over whether or not "Jorge Gonzalez" is a real person. Is Nightman mentioned in this episode? Probably.
