Episode 13 - "Edge of Orbverse" [Release Date: 09/16/17]

Mr. Wein.

Episode 14 - "Ms. Jemima Catmint: Spirit of Vengeance" [Release Date: 10/03/17]
Do you get frustrated when the villain you're trying to give your Penance Stare to turns out to be a robot?  Do you hold the popular belief that all motorcyclists should be lined up against a wall and shot?  Do you ever become angry when you realize your freedom from Hell was all just an elaborate game where you were the witless pawn? Then welcome to our magic floating castle everyone, Inner Demons is back with another new episode!  Brian and Chris take a look back at Ghost Rider (1973) # 5, Ghost Rider (1990) # 10, Ghost Rider (2005) # 6, and Ghost Rider 2099 # 8!

Episode 15 - "Canadian Bacon" [Release Date: 10/20/17]
After a bit of a delay, Inner Demons is back with a brand new attack!  This episode Chris and Brian take a look at two new Ghost Rider related comic releases, namely Marvel Legacy # 1 and Spirits of Vengeance # 1!  Then, in place of our regular classic reviews, we take a fond look back at a Very Special Issue from Ghost Rider history, Amazing Spider-Man: Hit and Run # 3.  Remember to always wear your helmets when riding your bicycles, kiddos!

Episode 17 - "Hanging Out in a Bookstore With Blade" [Release Date: 12/19/17]
Inner Demons is finally back to throw out tons of unnecessary exposition and tell you a whole lot of stuff about nothing particularly important!  This episode has Brian and Chris braving the wilds of new Ghost Rider material by reviewing Spirits of Vengeance (2017) # 2 & 3 and Thanos (2016) # 13.  Only one of those titles has a Cosmic Space Ghost Rider that is also a Herald of Galactus...the other one has a bookstore?  Exciting!

Episode 18 - "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Hellfire" [Release Date: 12/24/17]

Episode 27 - "Redneck Interlude" [Release Date: 06/25/18]
Creeping up behind you, it's horrible!  It's a new episode of Inner Demons, it just hid behind that tombstone!  I heard rumors y'know, that those two hosscats Brian and Chris once reviewed a whole bushel of comics.  Stuff like Ghost Rider (1990) # 13 and Ghost Rider (2006) # 3.  Even (dare I say it?) Ghost Rider 2099 # 10!  It cursed 'em, y'see, and now they roam the cemetery in search...of listeners!

Episode 28 - "Punch That Baby!" [Release Date: 07/24/18]
Inner Demons is a proud member of the Church of Celestial God Vomit, and with our guidance you too can practice the beliefs of the space gods!  Our reviews of Avengers (2018) # 3, 4, and 5 will surely bring you to your knees in worship of the Final Host!  Don't listen to that heretic and blasphemer Frank Castle, though, for our sermon on Cosmic Ghost Rider # 1 will prove him to be the Devil himself.  He even punches poor defenseless toddlers in the face!  Peace be with you space brothers and sisters!

Okay people, you don't need Inner Demons to tell you how awesome Ghost Rider is or how essential to your daily lives these comics truly are.  You certainly shouldn't have to listen to Chris and Brian as they thoughtfully do a critical autopsy on such works of four color art as Ghost Rider (1973) # 9, Ghost Rider (1990) # 14, and Ghost Rider (2006) # 4.  You don't NEED such an in-depth analysis in your lives, but wouldn't you just give anything to have it?  Wouldn't you sell...YOUR SOUL????

Episode 30 - "Magical Snapbracelet" [Release Date: 08/24/18]
Inner Demons would like to extend an apology to John Tesh, we had no idea you were actually the Devil and would very much like to keep our souls from frying in one of your lakes of hellfire.  Chris and Brian have some excellent comic reviews in this episode and perhaps your enjoyment of them would convince you to spare us, oh benevolent Lucifer?  You could listen to our thoughts on Cosmic Ghost Rider # 2 or Ghost Rider 2099 # 11, though perhaps you'd rather hear our critique of Mythos: Ghost Rider # 1, in which you bless the pages with your handsome visage?  Please don't poke us with that pitchfork, Mr. Tesh!

Episode 31 - "Hulk Can't Breathe!" [Release Date: 09/17/18]
Inner Demons returns with heavy hearts and sad tidings following the passing of Ghost Rider co-creator Gary Friedrich, who will missed by Flameheads everywhere.  This episode Chris and Brian review some classic comics, including Johnny Blaze's fight against the Hulk in Ghost Rider (1973) # 11, Danny Ketch's confrontation with Blackout in Ghost Rider (1990) # 15, and a return to the abandoned Quentin Carnival in Ghost Rider (2006) # 5.  Listen, enjoy, and then go read Marvel Spotlight # 5 in Mr. Friedrich's memory!

Episode 32 - "Ghost Rider Genisys" [Release Date: 10/24/18]
After a long hiatus Inner Demons has returned to go back, way back, back into time!  This is our All New Avengers review episode, where Chris and Brian take a look at issues 6 through 9 of the new Avengers series!  We talk about Robbie Reyes getting his Pacific Rim on, how the first Ghost Rider's origin story has turned the character's history into a "Choose Your Own Adventure", and Namor's brilliant idea to put armor on sharks!

Episode 33 - "Satanic Fanboys" [Release Date: 11/14/18]
Inner Demons returns...in SPAAAAAACE!  This episode Brian and Chris review Cosmic Ghost Rider #s 3 and 4, which features a pretty detailed account on how to murder every hero in the Marvel Universe, Thanos Legacy # 1, which brings Cosmic Ghost Rider firmly into the present day, and What If?: Ghost Rider # 1, which is certainly a comic book that exists.  Throw up your devil horns and head bang until your neck breaks, it's the most metal episode of Inner Demons yet!

Episode 34 - "Mister Man-Hyde" [Release Date: 12/05/18]
Inner Panthers has returned after that unfortunate incident with the Infinity Warps for another episode of all new comic reviews!  Host Chris Biggie has some really bizarre memories of being two different people, but there's no way anything could smash two hosts together into one super host, right?  While he struggles with his identity he takes a critical look at Avengers # 10 and Cosmic Ghost Rider # 5, which feature a weird spin-off character named Ghost Rider, before taking a look at the origin of his hero Johnny T'Challa Blaze in Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther # 1!

Episode 35 - "Miracle Man on 34th Street" [Release Date: 12/23/18]
Merry Ghostmas from Inner Demons!  Chris and Brian are delivering an early present for Vengeance Eve with our special holiday episode!  We look at the Christmas classic "Silent Night...Deadly Night!" from Marvel Two-In-One # 8, then we round out the episode with discussions about the decidedly non-yuletide Ghost Rider (1990) # 16 and Ghost Rider (2006) # 6!  Just like Santa Claus, Ghost Rider knows when you've been naughty, when you've been nice, and when you've spilled innocent blood.

Episode 36 - "Dad Panther" [Release Date: 02/04/19]
Look listeners, it can't be said that the humble hosts of Inner Demons, Chris Munn & Brian Biggie, don't suffer for your entertainment.  This episode, they review Chris' choice for worst Ghost Rider comic of all time, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther # 2.  Say a prayer before diving into this one, folks.  But hey, they also look at (the much, much better) Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) # 1 and Ghost Rider 2099 # 12, so it's like a sandwich with two awesome kaiser buns holding together some rotten meat.  Wakanda Forever!

Episode 37 - "Fly Like an Eagle" [Release Date: 02/19/19]
Inner Demons returns with a new episode filled with three classic comic reviews, including Brian's choice for worst Ghost Rider comic of all time!  Which comic will it be, listeners: the return of the Phantom Eagle in Ghost Rider (1973) # 12, the final battle with the Hobgoblin in Ghost Rider (1990) # 17, or the conclusion to "Hell to Pay" in Ghost Rider (2007) # 7?

Episode 38 - "Old Man Dracula" [Release Date: 04/22/19]
You've got a second chance, Inner Demons!  Back from a lengthy hiatus and now working as stuntmen in Hollywood, Brian and Chris are ready to tackle a full compliment of comic books both old and new for your listening pleasure!  Robbie Reyes talks to a ghost dog in Avengers (2018) # 14 & 15, Zero Cochrane lays around in a pile of wreckage in Ghost Rider 2099 # 13, and Johnny Blaze actually scares a supervillain in Ghost Rider (1973) # 13!  Now, if you'll excuse us, we need to be on set to jump this motorcycle over a burning schoolbus.  Action!

Episode 39 - "Cosmic Deadpool Destroys Drunk History" [Release Date: 05/06/19]
Inner Demons returns to take a walk on the cosmic side as we check in on Frank Castle, the Cosmic Ghost Rider!  Not only does he get cursed at by a toddler in Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History # 1, but he has to join up with the Dark Guardians to beat up Nova in Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) # 2 and 3!  That poor guy just can't catch a break!  Thankfully, he doesn't have to appear in Ghost Rider (1990) # 18, which features Danny Ketch beating up a priest.  Wait, what?

Episode 40 - "Bladestreet Boys" [Release Date: 06/16/19]
Inner Demons channels its inner vampire hunter in this new episode!  Chris and Brian take a look at Avengers (2018) # 16 and 17, featuring Grandpappy Dracula and the King of All Dogs, War of the Realms Strikeforce: The Dark Elf Realm # 1, featuring the Punisher and Thor's mom coming this close to making out, and Ghost Rider (2006) # 8, featuring a grizzled old sheriff.  Maybe, just maybe, we might even talk about Ghost Rider at some point!

Episode 41 - "Gesundheit!" [Release Date: 07/02/19]
Are you ready for Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Inner Demons?  Chris & Brian, champions of Flameheads all over the world, bravely venture into the toxic wasteland to review Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History # 2, 3, & 4.  You're going to hear things in this episode that you can never un-hear, gentle listeners.  Also, just to keep you on your toes, a review of Ghost Rider 2099 # 14.  So at least there's that to look forward to!

Episode 42 - "Power Vacuum" [Release Date: 07/22/19]
Inner Demons are down on their knees to grovel before their dark mistress Hela in this brand-new episode!  Chris and Brian are the abject subjects of the Queen of Death as they review Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) #s 4, 5, and 6.  Meanwhile, back on Earth, a review of Ghost Rider (1973) # 14 lays in wait, plotting and scheming against the intrepid podcast hosts!

Episode 43 - "Halt and Ketch Fire" [Release Date: 08/06/19]
Inner Demons is back with a special surprise gift for Ghost Rider fans of all ages!  Chris and Brian take a look at Marvel Comics Presents (2019) # 6 and Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History # 5 before turning to their flashback reviews of Ghost Rider/Cable: Servants of the Dead # 1 and Ghost Rider (2006) # 9.  Then, stay tuned for a special interview with none other than Howard Mackie, writer and creator of the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider!

Episode 44 - "Strip For Action!" [Release Date: 09/25/19]
Inner Demons vrooms back into the spotlight with a new episode full of Ghost Rider greatness!  Brian and Chris take the time to teach some lessons, including but not limited to: spinal cords are delicious, the world most certainly does not still need the Champions, the edge is a precarious place to live, and zombies are really clumsy.  Learn about all of this and more in reviews of Absolute Carnage: Symbiote of Vengeance # 1, The Champions (1975) # 1, Ghost Rider/Wolverine/Punisher: Hearts of Darkness, and Ghost Rider (2006) # 10!  Also, stay tuned at the end for a re-presentation of our interview with comic legend John Romita Jr.!

Episode 45 - "Continuity Hug" [Release Date: 10/9/19]
Inner Demons is back with a roller coaster of an episode that takes a look at the dizzying high of Ghost Rider (2019) # 1, the curving speed of Avengers (2018) #s 21 and 22, and the plunging depths of Secret Warps: Ghost Panther Annual # 1! 

Episode 46 - "Unoriginal Sin" [Release Date: 10/28/19]
Inner Demons is traveling the timestream to bring you reviews from the past, the present, and even the far future!  Chris & Brian go back through the wilds of continuity to review Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History # 6, take part in the Challenge of the Ghost Riders during the reviews of Avengers (2019) # 23 & 24, and then get arrested by the new federal marshal of Transverse City while attempting to review Ghost Rider 2099 # 15!  

Inner Demons is holding its own "Challenge of the Ghost Riders" as Brian and Chris judge which of our four comic reviews will win the race for the throne of Hell!  Ghost Rider (2019) # 2 is the early favorite, will its Damnation Stare give it the edge it needs to pull ahead or will Johnny Blaze's hellfire hammer from Avengers (2018) # 25 knock the opponents out of commission?  Can Pluto's plot from The Champions (1975) # 2 secure its racing dominance or will Suicide and Zodiak ensure an easy victory for Ghost Rider (1990) # 19?  If you want to keep up on all the pole positions be sure to give this episode your full attention, or don't and forfeit your soul!

Episode 48 - "Blazing a New Path" [Release Date: 2/1/20]
Inner Demons returns with a new format but same thirst for Vengeance! Chris Munn has handed the keys of the Hellcycle to host Brian and his first pit-stop on this Highway to Hell is Ghost Rider (2019) Issues #3 and #4. What could possibly go wrong when Danny Ketch is given new powers and abilities to take on King of Hell Johnny Blaze? Next up is Ghost Rider (2006) #13...where two flaming heads are better than one as GR finishes the fight against Lucifer/Jack O'Lantern. Lastly, is the winner of the last fan poll, Ghost Rider (1990) Issue 20 as GR has to contend with the Astrological A-hole Zodiak AND the immortal death-seeker Suicide.

Episode 49 - "The Revenge of Ghost Rider's Mother 2099" [Release Date: 3/15/20]
Some people say that Ghost Rider has a face that only a mother could love...but how about his old foe Lilith? So this Episode, Brian hopes to figure it out with the "Spirits of Ghost Rider" One-Shot called Mother of Demons. From there we take a trip across the galaxy with future Frank Castle in the pages of Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider Issues 1 & 2.  If that wasn't enough, Inner Demons travels to both the far future and several decades in the past with the next two issues. First, is the recent Ghost Rider 2099 Issue 1 that has a retelling of Zero Cochrane's origin. Lastly, how does a man with a giant Eye-Ball for a head successfully navigate the Ventura Freeway? Let's check out 1975's Ghost Rider #15 starring The Orb to find out. 

Only a madman would venture into watching crazy Nic Cage movies for the enjoyment of the listeners. But is he really mad...or just possessed? Brian, host of Inner Demons, climbs aboard that flaming piece of construction equipment and heads headlong into the feature length commentary of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." Thankfully, he won't be making the trip alone as he drags fellow genre fan (but GR Noob) Joe Zola into the fray. Will these life-long friends make it through this Cage-Rage ordeal OR will they part ways on this Highway to Hell? But more importantly, why are Twinkies so indestructible? 

These days we all miss hanging out with our old buddies. Well, in Ghost Rider (2019) Issues 5 & 6, our pal Danny Ketch meets up with his Hearts of Darkness bros Frank Castle and Logan. And when they get through with each other, they'll wish they had socially distanced! Next onto the totally nuts Ghost Rider Issue 16 from 1976...the one where the villain's dastardly plan has him using mating calls to place explosives on dolphins' backs. And things turn from bad to worse when a Great White Shark shows up for about a page and a half.  But hopefully that last review won't "sink" your hopes, because Brian takes on the recent Poll winners and World War Hulk tie-in of Ghost Rider (2006) Issues 12 and 13 in which Johnny Blaze is dumb enough to stand between a furious Bruce Banner and his own revenge on Earth's Heroes.

The Power of Inner Demons Compels You! We here at the show are used to those pesky demonic interlopers...you know, like the one that's possessing good old Frank Castle in some of tonight's comics from "Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider" Issues 3 & 4. But poor Roxanne...I mean, Katy Milner, is having her own demonic problems this time with "Ghost Rider" Issue 17 from the 1970s. So much so, that our buddy Blaze has to phone a friend and get the Son of Satan himself to lend an Exorcist hand. And with "The Champions" # 3. you'll think that something new has come over Johnny Blaze, as well, considering the fact that he has the guts to walk on up to Zeus and give him a heart to heart talk. Our last review is "Ghost Rider" Issue 14 from the 2000s, in which Flamehead finally figures  out a way to take down Lucifer for good.

Inner Demons is back and creating hellfire cycles left and right from scratch. We got a giant-sized Episode for listeners this time. Kicking it off is Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares' return to GR in a special one-shot called The Return on Vengeance. I'll have to ask Badilino when he finds time to lift weights in Hell... After that is the final issue of Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider #5 in which readers finally find out what happens to poor "innocent" Cammi. Then we have Ed Brisson's Ghost Rider #7...the final issue before his run was cancelled way before it's time. Perhaps there's a Spirit of Cancellation running around? For classic reviews, we got GR: Annual #1, Ghost Rider #18 from the 70s and Champions Issue 4 from some comic book nobody named Chris Claremont. Wonder what ever happened to that X-cellent up and comer?

Episode 54 - "Return of the King" [Release Date: 6/28/21]
They say: "It's good to be the King." Unless you're Johnny Blaze, burdened with the throne of Hell and keeping the entire hordes of the underworld at bay for for the greater good. But what happens when Blaze's plan to drag Mephisto on a mission of Vengeance is interrupted by symbiote dragons and even his own brother in "Ghost Rider: King in Black #1"? By Crom, if that wasn't bad enough...Johnny Blaze battles none other than Conan the Barbarian in "Savage Avengers #21". Next up is Daniel Way's "Ghost Rider" Issues 15 and 16 as Blaze continues his looooong mission of destroying 666 Satanic avatars but this time GR has to also contend with a pair of sneaky angels. They grow up so fast, don't they? Lastly is "Ghost Rider" Issue 19 from the 70s, which had way more behind the scenes intrigue than you'd expect!
