The Sound of Bricks

Each month, Doug and DC Dave dive deep into the history of building bricks—examining their design, their legacy… and most importantly, their pain profile.

In this debut episode, Doug bravely (and unwillingly) tests a 1x1 brick from the 1966 Batcave set under controlled conditions: hardwood floor, socked foot, and a 20-centimeter drop.

What follows is a groundbreaking exploration of physics, regret, and the limits of human tolerance.

🎧 Featuring: Historical brick analysis Controlled impact testing Real-time pain reactions An alarming number of bleeps

The Sound of Bricks — a Brick Crisis Network original.

This is an April Fools special. No hosts were permanently harmed… probably.

Sandboxers vs Canonizers

With co-host Kevin Miller

In this episode of The Monitor Tapes, DC Dave and Doug Adamson are joined by Kevin Miller, author of The Crisis Companion (releasing August 2026). The discussion centers around Crisis Sandboxers vs Canonizers - what are those terms, and do they mean, and how was it utilized by the Crisis creators.

Hosted By DC Dave & Doug Adamson

Worlds would live…worlds would die. And the DC Universe would never be the same again.

Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC Comics’ seminal event from 1985. The impact is still felt over 40 years later. Join your hosts DC Dave and Doug Adamson – along with a rotating bevy of guest hosts – as we discuss the Crisis throughout the years. From long-lasting impacts, to “what we would have done differently,” to breakdowns of individual stories, our hosts will discuss the Crisis in a new, refreshing way. Not an index show, not a panel-by-panel discussion, but a personal examination of this legendary comic book story.

Beginning in late January 2025.
