Podcast appearances and mentions of ben passmore

Have you ever wanted to see Brooke Shields with dreads? Or here Elijah Wood call another white person "the true nigga"? Or watch 1990's Knicks shooting guard Allan Houston act? Well 1999's Black and White has all this and more. A truly baffling film, we take the long winding road through all of the insane moments of this film.. From one of craziest death scenes caught on film, to a lot of white people with questionable hair and accents, to what the hell all of Wu-Tang was doing in this movie.  Shout-out to Ben, a truly incredible artist and a good friend. His upcoming book Black Arms to Hold You Up about armed Black armed resistance is coming out next fall is, so be on the lookout for that. In the meantime, follow him on IG at @daygloayhole for more comics and conversation.  Our recorded live show is dropping on Youtube next week, so be on the lookout for that!

There have been so many Tuesday nights sitting around the fire or the piano where the conversations and teachings have been such that the thought has crossed my mind that this needs to be shared. I hope you have a community of discipleship where you can learn and grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus. If you don't, consider yourself adopted by us. It's with great joy that I occasionally share these nights with you on this podcast, but you can join us live by Zoom every week.

“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us along the road?” This was the comment made from one man to another after a long walk with Jesus. Only they didn't know it was him. But as he spoke, his words created a sound that ignited their hearts and this was their response. What makes your heart burn for God? This teaching from Jeremiah and Jesus features a dear brother of mine, Ben Passmore. Ben has a history of mission work in Malta and Iraq and is a skillful revelator of the word of God. It's our prayer that this podcast will carry a sound that ignites your heart with a fresh fire and a hope for the days ahead.  Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music

Flash Forward: An Illustrated Guide to Possible (And Not So Possible) Tomorrows takes readers on a journey from speculative fiction to speculative “fact.” Producer and host of the podcast Flash Forward, Rose Eveleth poses provocative questions about our future, which are brought to life by 12 of the most imaginative comics and graphic artists at work, including Matt Lubchanksy, Sophie Goldstein, Ben Passmore, and Box Brown. Each artist chooses a subject close to their heart—Ignatz Award nominee Julia Gfrörer, for instance, will imagine a future in which robots make art—and presents their chosen future in their own style. Drawing on her interviews with experts in various fields of study, Eveleth will then report on what is complete fantasy and what is only just out of reach in insightful essays following the comics. This book introduces compelling visions of the future and vividly explores the human consequences of developing technologies. Flash Forward reveals how complicated, messy, incredible, frightening, and strange our future might be.CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS INCLUDE: Matt Lubchansky, Sophie Goldstein, Zach Weinersmith, Box Brown, Maki Naro, John Jennings, Julia Gfrörer, Chris Jones, Blue Delliquanti, Amelia Onorato, Kate Sheridan, Sophia Foster-Dimino, Ziyed Ayoub, Ben Passmore

What if every volcano on Earth erupted at the same time? What if we never fixed any of the Y2K bugs? The podcast has also spawned an https://www.flashforwardpod.com/book/ (illustrated companion book), featuring comics based on Flash Forward episodes from artists such as Matt Lubchanksy, Sophie Goldstein, and Ben Passmore.

This week we welcome two special guests--Amanda Meadows and Geoffrey Golden of the Dirt Cheap podcast--to discuss one of their favorite recent graphic novels: BTTM FDRS, by Ezra Clayton Daniels and Ben Passmore. The book has been compared to Jordan Peele's film Get Out, and features a many-tentacled monster that inhabits an apartment building in a gentrifying Chicago neighborhood. Our guests help us do some panel analysis of the book, and we talk about the horror genre, and dividing line between effective allegory and allegories that feel heavy-handed. We also talk about their podcast, in which they are reading a very bizarre-sounding pulp novel called Murder in the Glass Room, about an L.A. private investigator who is very obsessed with furniture and elevators. You can check out their podcast, Dirt Cheap, here: https://www.neonhum.com/show-pages/dirt-cheap.html You can learn more about the book, BTTM FDRS, at the Fantagraphics site: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/bttm-fdrs And if you like our podcast, and want more of it in your life, subscribe to our Patreon. $5 a month gets you access to all our bonus episodes, including our newly launched Hunt for the Worst Book of All Time: https://www.patreon.com/BookFight Thanks for listening!

On a new episode of Hard NOC Life, Dominic, Shawn, and Keith return to the Final Frontier and review the CBS All Access Original Series, Star Trek: Picard. Before they dive into their thoughts on Picard, the crew share some news -- Shawn just completed the sixth annual Black Comix Arts Festival in San Francisco, while Dominic gives an update on the podcast, Occupy Me. Then they get into more info about the leaked details from Colin Trevorrow's Episode IX script, including the concept art. This naturally leads to a discussion about JJ Abrams and his film-making style, including the 2009 Star Trek. They also get in to what's wrong with R-rated Trek and why Discovery isn't everyone's cup of tea. When they get to Star Trek: Picard, though the consensus is that it's a good show, its racial dynamics/politics could use some work. Still, it's nice to have Trek back firmly in the 24th century! So grab a cup of Earl Grey, decaf and "make it so!" What's #NerdPoppin this week: For Shawn, it's the Afrofuturist horror-comedy graphic novel, BTTM FDRS by Ezra Clayton Daniels and Ben Passmore. Meanwhile, Dominic is wrapped up in the Senate impeachment trial, and Keith enjoyed the Green Arrow and the Canaries backdoor pilot more than he thought he would. All this and more on Hard NOC Life!

In this episode, we’re going to be talking about an emotion you’ve probably heard a lot about lately: empathy. The way we talk about it, it’s almost like a superpower: it’s like we want to believe that the cure to political divisiveness, racism, and even war lies in the act of imagining exactly how someone else feels. But is empathy really going to save the world? First, Dr. Carolyn Pedwell, associate professor in Cultural Studies at the University of Kent, explains how different people define “empathy” and use it to achieve various, and sometimes opposing, goals. One of those parties is the virtual reality industry, and tech journalist Rose Eveleth explains the potentials and pitfalls of empathic VR experiences. Then we go into another sort of empathy experience with cartoonist Ben Passmore, whose comic and animated short, “Your Black Friend,” tackles empathy in a different, sharper way. Finally, we talk with scholar and activist Frances Lee (of the Bitch 50!) about how we can practice empathy better: in a way that acknowledges the humanity of other people without making it all about ourselves.

In pt. 3 of my “Countdown to DINK”, I talk with traveling comics creators Ezra Claytan Daniels and Ben Passmore, about how they got into comics, what inspires them, and how they came to work together. These guys are cool, so check 'em out!

For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award-­winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity. ­Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? This page­turning graphic novel follows Hank and Molly as they discover the harsh truth that only one version of themselves is fated to survive. In Your Black Friend and Other Strangers, Ben Passmore masterfully tackles comics about race, gentrification, the prison system, online dating, gross punks, bad street art, kung fu movie references, beating up God, and lots of other grown-­up stuff with refreshing doses of humor and lived relatability. The title comic earned Passmore an Eisner nomination, Ignatz Award for “Outstanding Comic”, and a coveted spot on NPR’s 100 Favorite Graphic Novelists. The comics in this 120 ­page collection include works previously published by The Nib, VICE, and the As You Were anthology, along with brand new and unreleased material.These comics are essential, humorous, and accessible, told through Passmore’s surreal lens in the vibrant full ­color hues of New Orleans.

This week I talk with writer/artist Ezra Claytan Daniels about his latest book Upgrade Soul (from Lion Forge). We discuss crafting romances with atypical protaganists, how identity can shape and influence love, and how the book has changed over it's 15 year life span.  Catch Ezra on Tour with Ben Passmore starting this week! https://www.facebook.com/tours/236374807229720/ Also find him online at: @Ezracdaniels

Images at http://wp.me/p42KN3-Gbt On this week's Comics Syllabus podcast, Paul has the pleasure of speaking with Paul K. Tunis, comics poet (find him at http://paulktunis.com/) and an editor for InkBrick (at http://inkbrick.com/), the poetry comics journal, for a General Ed segment (at 4:58) to look at how comics do poetry, with the example of Tunis' own beautiful and troubling work (see "Paper Mice" above, as well as many examples on his website).
