What would you rather watch?

If we regularly produced (i.e. edited, pre-recorded) new shows/videos on ComicPop Returns, would you rather have lists (e.g. Best comics of all time) or conversational shows (e.g. Let's Talk About, Comic Line, etc)?

Conversational

Comic Cultured

I'd love both, but I think a major appeal of comic pop is the conversational aspect, and so I'd definitely want that prioritized.

Austin Burton

Would love Comic Line to come back in some fashion.

Drew A. Walker

I prefer conversational show.

BigBusta

Conversational has always been your strongest suit. Lists are fun, but they are highly subjective.

Jordan Schaefer

I love Comic Line. Deep dives into a specific Comic/Nerd culture topics. The “Should Batman Kill?” episode is awesome.

Galahad’s Comics

Conversational shows. They're always interesting.

SecretbossSauce

Conversational shows definitely

Rami Darwish

Conversation shows. A Comic Popcast

Allyn Weimer

Lists from the perspective of Sal especially id love to see

Patrick Mocella

Id watch both, but if I'd have to choose, it'd be conversations.

David Nelson

The conversational shows

Anthony Andrade

ComicLine. Conversations deep feel real & authentic,and allows you guys to tackle every angle of a topic Lists do get clicks tho so I'd get it if you wanted to start making more of those

It seems fairly unanimous. Your strongest shows are conversation and personality based. It's the reason why Back Issues works so well. The interplay between you and whoever else is on the couch is what separates you from everyone else. I could watch a million videos on what happens in Doomsday Clock, Zero Hour, etc. but I get so much more out of hearing Ben's stupid jokes, Ethan questioning why anything works in comics, and Tiffany's enormous knowledge of the arts. It doesn't just apply to comics. You have a way of having a good time with any guest. The on the spot riffing is very valuable.

The best conversation/interview episodes are some of the best content on the channel, but the quality has a much bigger swing, and it's very reliant on the guest. Josh or Tom could make a conversation about phonebooks fun, but that's not always true for all guests. In my (limited) experience creating episodes, list shows are much more work to do right (prep ahead, curating images, editing after the fact), but had *much* better retention. People generally would make it through the episode to see how much their opinion matches with the hosts and the numbered segments provide a good pacing. audience retention rarely dropped before the end. I have nothing to back this up, but in my mind, giving the listener more frequent, obvious opportunities to mentally agree with one of the hosts (e.g. listicle items) gives them more chances to become personally invested in the media they're consuming. TL;DR I see it as Lists shows Vs Interviews are the youtuber equivalent of Hollywood's "One for them, One for us".

I'd add a vote for conversation shows. I enjoy your back and forth.

Conversational shows

I would personally say conversational shows, because sometimes those could be about lists…. the long form discussions with many tangents are always entertaining.

Billy Retro Gamer

I like the discussion shows.

Joshua Parker

I always like the discussion videos

Meta

Understanding that both isn't a valid answer: I'd rather have lists
