The teases for Daredevil Born Again SEASON 3 gave us goosebumps! !! Coy Jandreau & Greg Alba sit down with the legendary Vincent D'Onofrio for an in-depth Daredevil: Born Again interview about Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, the creative overhaul behind the series, and what may be ahead for Daredevil Season 3. Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The Cell) reflects on returning as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, breaking down the psychology, physicality, voice inspiration, and emotional foundation behind one of Marvel's most intimidating villains. The conversation explores Fisk's loneliness, rage, dark sense of humor, spirituality, and the Kingpin improvised “boo” scene, along with how comic book artists like David Mack helped shape his performance. Plus, Vincent drops a surprise, passionate casting pitch to join James Gunn's DC Universe as Swamp Thing! The interview also dives into the Daredevil: Born Again creative overhaul, with D'Onofrio discussing how he, Charlie Cox, and the creative team pushed to make the series feel more like a true Daredevil story. He talks about Marvel Studios' creative support, Kevin Feige, why Marvel reshot portions of Daredevil, and how the team had to “Frankenstein” what had already been shot to build a stronger version of the show. D'Onofrio also teases Daredevil Season 3, including more action, emotional journeys, and new territory involving Kingpin's childhood backstory, size, trauma, and the darkness that shaped Wilson Fisk. Based on the iconic Marvel Comics characters, Daredevil: Born Again continues the story of Matt Murdock / Daredevil (Charlie Cox — Stardust, Boardwalk Empire, The Theory of Everything) and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin as their mirrored obsessions with justice, control, morality, and the soul of New York City pull them deeper into conflict. The conversation also heads into DC territory as D'Onofrio opens up about his dream of playing Swamp Thing, why Alec Holland speaks to him emotionally, and what he would bring to James Gunn's DCU if given the chance. From Vincent D'Onofrio's Swamp Thing pitch to Marvel behind-the-scenes stories, Marvel snipers, Kingpin's dark psychology, and the future of Daredevil Season 3, this Reel Rejects interview offers a rare look inside one of the MCU's most unforgettable comic book performances.

Welcome once again to the bayou where James, Joe, Chris and Josh are continuing to follow the path of Swamp Thing. This time they are diving into Vol. 2 of Alan Moore's 'The Saga of the Swamp Thing'. Where they discuss Swamp Thing putting Alec Holland to rest, going to Hell to save Abigail's soul, what Abby learns in 'The House of Secrets' and more.

Directed by the great Wes Craven, Swamp Thing (1982) is a hard-to-find cult classic that follows the adventures of mad scientist Anton Arcane as he chases down a magic formula that has transformed Dr. Alec Holland into Swamp Thing!Swamp Thing also protects (and stares at) government agent Alice Cable as she is on the run from Arcane also. Nothing says romance like a bath in a murky swamp filled with alligators!

Tubi? Jim Wynorski? Comic book movie? Sometimes I think we parody ourselves. Your Stupid Minds comes to you this time around with 1989's The Return of Swamp Thing, starring Heather Locklear, Louis Jourdan and Wynorski muse Monique Gabrielle. Picking up after the events of the last movie, as best we can surmise Swamp Thing killed Dr. Anton Arcane (Jourdan) but it didn't take, since he specializes in Ra's al Ghul style immortality practices. So Swamp Thing, a.k.a. Alec Holland, wanders around the Louisiana bayou campily beating up monsters and cajun caricatures. It vaguely resembles Alan Moore's run of the comic; as if someone recited major plot points from memory to the screenwriters while they watch TV. Meanwhile, Abby Arcane (Locklear) goes to her step-father's swamp compound in some vague attempt to learn more about her dead mother. She's met by Dr. Arcane's menagerie of 80s misfits: buxom British scientist Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas), asthmatic other scientist Dr. Rochelle (Ace Mask, who as far as we know is not a homunculus assembled from Jim Carrey movie titles) and mercenary Miss Poinsettia (Gabrielle). There's some plot point about using Abby's blood to create an immortality serum (since she has the "exact genetic code" of her mother, which is not how genetics work). Meanwhile some crawfish-fed local youths try to snap a picture of Swamp Thing using their dad's $5,000 camera. Will Swamp Thing save the day? Will he and Abby have sex after hallucinating off a flower he picked off his body? Can Swamp Thing drive a Jeep? You'll have to listen to find out!

In an extra unique episode of our show, Joshua Noel is joined by return guest, Josh Patterson, to discuss the one shot comic, "Poison Ivy / Swamp Thing: Feral Trees"! This comic was written by G. Willow Wilson, art by Mike Perkins, colors by Mike Spicer, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. The guys review this comic in great detail and discuss the themes it presents like process philosophy / theology, sustainability, green energy efforts, the sacredness of life and death, what it means to exist at all, the nature of God's existence, and far more!.What is Poison Ivy's origin story? How did Poison Ivy get her powers? Where did the Swamp Thing come from? How did Alec become Swamp Thing? Is Poison Ivy an avatar of the green? What is Poison Ivy obsessed with? What is the green in DC Comics? Is poison ivy connected to the green? What is the green Swamp Thing? What is the parliament of trees? Who is Pamela Lillian Isley? Who is Alec Holland? What is process theology? Is process theology pantheism? What is God comprised of? How do we know we exist in philosophy? What is metaphysics in simple terms? Is God a metaphysics? How are the ideas of "the green", "the tao", and "God" or "the Divine" the same? We discuss all this and more in this one!

Geekorama is Produced by Superhero-Fiction.comhttps://www.superhero-fiction.com For this week’s episode of Geekorama, we’re going to give you a sneak peek at some of the exciting things happening in our author careers. We finally open up about our own writing in the superhero genre, and talk at length about why we’re branching out to touch upon other sub-genres. Pop-Culture Trivia-July 1971 Swamp ThingA humanoid/plant elemental creature, created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, the Swamp Thing has had several humanoid or monster incarnations in various different storylines. The character first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (July 1971) in a stand-alone horror story set in the early 20th century.The Swamp Thing television series first aired on the USA Network from 1990 to 1993, with Dick Durock reprising the role of Swamp Thing from the movie adaptation. DiC Entertainment's Swamp Thing animated series debuted on Fox Kids in April 1991, with Len Carlson providing the voice of the title character. A live-action series based on the Swamp Thing and produced by James Wan was released in 2019 on the DC Universe streaming service, with Alec Holland portrayed by Andy Bean while Swamp Thing is played by Derek Mears in a "physical costume."GEEK OUTSTrish - The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It’s a blatant soap opera, but it include Vikings, so who really cares?Jeremy - Some wonderfully bad horror movies (warning, I spoil pretty much everything.) What happens when you take AirBnB, annoying people, and a crazy dude with a hammer? Deep Dive - What’s New in Our Superhero Worlds?Trish - I’m pivoting my Superhero universe to start focusing on more romantic novels. For TL Heinrich, it will be superhero first with slow burn romances and read quite a lot like Paranormal and Urban Fantasy with romantic elements more front and center. For Trish Heinrich, it’s Romance first, superheroes second with a good dose of steam.Jeremy - The second series is with the editor and I'm looking at a busy fall. After my pilot series focusing on action adventure, the prequel is much more of an alternate history / urban fantasy vibe. While that's with the editor I'm working on a much thicker science fiction novel that takes place centuries in the future. My current strategy is to maintain a superhero focus while touching on other genres to expand readership. We'll see how this pans out! QotW: What is your favorite superhero sub-genre? Visit Superhero-Fiction to Discover Uncanny Superhero Stories Subscribe to Geekorama to Stay Up-to-Date on All Things SuperheroiTunes | Spotify | Podbean | Youtube Follow Superhero-Fiction on Social MediaSuperhero-Fiction Facebook Page | Superhero-Fiction Facebook Group Trish Heinrich – Facebook | InstagramJeremy Flagg - Facebook | Instagram 

While working on a restorative formula that can make forests out of deserts in the Louisiana swamps, scientist Alec Holland is killed by an unknown evil. Shortly thereafter, a humanoid plant being rises from the swamp, the Swamp Thing!

Esta semana: “Pilot” y “Worlds Apart”, los primeros dos episodios de la nueva miniserie. La doctora Abby Arcane es enviada a investigar una misteriosa enfermedad en Marais, Louisiana. Allí conoce a Alec Holland, quien cree que la enfermedad podría estar relacionada con su trabajo en el pantano. Pero cuando Alec desaparece, algo más surge en su lugar: una criatura nacida en las profundidades del pantano. Nuestros investigadores Sebastián y Juan Manuel, analizan cada detalle… y cada secreto.

All good things must come to an end. This week, we say goodbye to Alec Holland and Abigail Arcane, as well as our love guru Common and his memoir of self-reflection, "Let Love Have the Last Word." We've absolutely adored our time with these fabulous creatures, but we're excited to contemplate where they go from here. Our conversation uses The New 52 storyline "Season's End" as our backbone, and upon it, we find two very different beings than when we last discussed their relationship. In fact, one of them is not even the same lifeform as before. Whoa. New 52 gets weird, but that's how we like our Swamp Thing. Author Charles Soule is a big-idea man, and he pits Alec and Abby against some rather epic abominations in the form of The Machine Kingdom. What hope does The Green have when competing against the cold logic of Calculus? Is there time to love when the apocalypse is on the horizon? Are Alec and Abby a forever-couple? We answer within. Issues covered in this episode: Swamp Thing Vol. 4 numbers 35 - 40, Swamp Thing Annual No. 3, and Swamp Thing - Future's End No. 1. Be sure to follow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter @CBCCPodcast, and you can follow the hosts @MouthDork & @sidewalksiren.

From the blossom of romance to its rot, this week, we're tackling one of the darkest moments in the relationship between Swamp Thing and Abigail Arcane - Nancy A. Collins' "Martial Problems." These final four issues in her run are fraught with emotional turmoil for both parties and left us aching with deep empathy for the guardians of the Green. The Vertigo era of the book was a time of transition, and Collins went in with a plan to revitalize the characters and concepts and left the Louisanna bog a scorched Earth! As far as superhero breakups are concerned, few are as understandable or as strange as the one witnessed in these significant comics. Will they recover? That's a question for next week. Until then, pull up a chair, nab one of Constantine's smokes, and join us as we evaluate the end of the line for Abby and the plant which once dreamed he was Alec Holland. Issues Covered in this episode: Swamp Thing Vol. 2 135 - 138. Be sure to follow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter @CBCCPodcast, and you can follow the hosts @MouthDork & @sidewalksiren.

"There is no contradiction...only the pulse. The pulse within the world. Within us. Within me." In this week's episode, we finally witness the union between Abigail Arcane and Alec Holland...or, at least, the plant which once dreamed he was Alec Holland. "The Saga of the Swamp Thing" is a game-changer comic book. Not just because it's the arrival of Alan Moore upon the American comics scene, but in how it reveals the potential elevated philosophical heights of the art form. These are not your daddy's Swamp Thing comics. Last week, we saw a couple who barely acknowledged each others' presence, but now we meet a relationship that hell itself could not tear apart. Normally, we look to our guru for guidance, but in this episode, we look to Swamp Thing to help our guru. In part two of Common's "Let Love Have the Last Word," we meet a man struggling to understand his connection with his daughter. We believe Alec & Abby have the wisdom to help their bond. Issues covered in this episode: "Saga of the Swamp Thing" #s 28 -34, and "Swamp Thing" Annual #2.

This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback."   ‘Catch-22' (Hulu, 2019) Starring Christopher Abbot, Kyle Chandler, George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, produced by Clooney. Catch-22 is described by Hulu as "the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty."   ‘Central Park Five' (Netflix, 2019) Created byAva DuVernay Starring Michael K. Williams, Vera Farmiga & John Leguizamo. “Based on a true story that gripped the nation, the four-episode series will chronicle the notorious case of five teenagers of color who were convicted of a rape they did not commit.” Spans from spring of 1989, when each were first questioned about the incident, to 2014 when they were exonerated and a settlement was reached with the city of New York.   Living With Yourself (Netflix, 2019) Created by Timothy Greenberg Starring Paul Rudd who also executive produces Living With Yourself begins when "George Elliot is burned out and facing an impasse in both his personal and professional life. When he undergoes a novel treatment to become a better person, he finds he's been replaced by a new and improved George — revealing that his own worst enemy is himself.
