Episode V01 - NC Comicon (13 March 2010)

My sons and I took a trip to Morrisville, NC, for NC Comicon.

I originally brought my camera and planned to take a bunch of photos. Then I remembered I could record video and put together a video episode of the podcast! But I suck and didn't budget my video space so couldn't get time with all of the talent there.

Thanks to...

Episode 40 - "The Terminator" (1984)

This week we delve into the world of cybernetic organisms, living tissue over metal endoskeletons, when I watch "The Terminator" from 1984. I also read a crossover comic book by DC pitting Superman against Skynet.

And, to add some humor to the mix, I found a clip from "Extras" with Patrick Stewart talking about a movie script he wrote.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's....a drunk guy?

This week I sat down and watched Will Smith in "Hancock" from 2008. I also take a few minutes to talk about the new (to those of us in the US) BBC series called "Survivors".

I also dug up a humorous clip from a former AOL customer who just can't seem to cancel his account.

Episode 38 - The Dead Space Franchise

Ah, it feels good to have finally gotten past all the frustrating parts of the game "Dead Space".....so I could go back and play it all over again!

This week I'm reviewing the entire Dead Space franchise. Well, the comics "Dead Space" and "Dead Space: Extraction", the animated film "Dead Space: Downfall" and the Xbox 360 version of the game "Dead Space". I don't have a Wii, so couldn't review "Dead Space: Extraction" but am calling on you guys to provide one if you've played the game.

Episode 34.1 - A Little Comic Book Update (for 02 February 2010)

This week we learned that snow can really crap on the best laid plans of mice and podcasters. Ashcrow and McPierce couldn't get together and do a recording this week. So they've again gone the solo route and, through the magic of scotch tape and Memorez, put together another great comic book update.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Oh, and Ashcrow owns an AEROTRAIN!

And I announce our next contest, with the prize being an autographed copy of "Best Seller" by Keith Latch.

Episode 28.1 - A Little Comic Book Update (for 22 December 2009)

The last show with both Ashcrow and McPierce before the New Year. The guys review more Blackest Night stories, but still manage to bring other titles into the discussion.

And they want to know if you can explain what the hell that Jackalope kid is in "Sweet Tooth"...

What we learned this week:
 * Ashcrow does a better job of editing than McPierce.
 * McPierce has a bigger supply of silly sound effects.
 * Ashcrow likes stories about mutated people with approach-avoidance syndrome.
 * McPierce likes stylized art unless he hates it.
 * Ashcrow is one of the werewolves of London.
 * McPierce likes Halo. I know, shocking, isn't it?
 * Ashcrow comes from another dimension.
 * McPierce lives in a world of his own.
 * Ashcrow does know about proper saddle care and maintenance.
 * McPierce knows a little too much about caring for leather.

The reading list this week was:
 * Sweet Tooth #4
 * X-Force #22
 * Deadpool Merc With A Mouth #6
 * Captain America Rebort #5 (of 6)
 * (Blackest Night) Superman/Batman #67

Episode 28 - The 28 Days Later franchise

This week I was down with the sickness. And not SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) but RAGE (Recording Another Great Episode)!

I watched the movies "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later", then read the trade paperback "28 Days Later: The Aftermath" and the first three issues of the Boom! comic "28 Days Later". Then I put all of those elements into a chronologically correct narrative.

Episode 25 - "Skinned Alive" (1989) and "Remains" (2004)

I admit it. I screwed up.

I didn't pay attention to which movie I had to review this week. I *THOUGHT* I had the 2008 cannibal hooker film called "Skinned Alive", which sounded cool. But instead I had the 1989 independent craptastic film.

Oh, bother.

But at least I got to read a cool zombie comic instead. And did I mention the new contest we're running?

Episode 24.1 - A Little Dead Comic Book Update (for 27 November 2009)

This week, Ashcrow flies solo. All the way to Florida. And, boy, is his back cover advertisement tired!

Ashcrow ventured home for the Thanksgiving holiday, and took his nephew out for his first comic book run. Ah, remember the first time you went into the comic shop? The rustic smell of old comic print. The dim lighting. The collectible toys on the wall. The 8 foot tall poly-resin Incredible Hulk statue at the front door. The fat guy in the sweat pants and the Superman tshirt that stopped fitting him three years ago.

Good times! Good times!

This week Ashcrow discusses:
* Fables: Legends in Exile 1 (Trade Paperback)
* The Resistance (Trade Paperback)

Ashton talks about:
* Star Wars: Purge Seconds To Die (one shot)

Episode 23 - "The Handmaid's Tale" (1990) and "30 Days Of Night: Dead Days" (comic)

This week I watched the dystopic futuristic film, "The Handmaid's Tale". I also read "30 Days Of Night: Dark Days" in honor of that comic being made into film, the sequel to 2007's "30 Days Of Night" movie adapation.

And I throw some ragga metal punk hip-hop music at you with a few apocalyptic tracks by Skindred.

Good stuff!

Episode 19 - "Idiocracy", "How To Irritate People" and "Stay Dead"

This week I watched something on the funnier side of life. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus, I watched the rare pre-Monty Python special, How To Irritate People, by John Cleese. I also watched "Idiocracy", by Mike Judge. And I review the zombie short story collection, "Stay Dead: The Stranger and Tunnel Rats", by Steve Wands.

And we get our first batch of entries into the Lakewood Memorial giveaway!
