Podcasts about Carl Barks

"Ye intruders beware.Crushing death and grief,Soaked with blood,Of the trespassing thief."With that ominous passage inscribed upon a map, the timeless adventure of The Goonies begins. And what an adventure it is! Equally influenced by golden age of Hollywood swashbuckling pirate movies like Michael Curtiz's Captain Blood, vintage movie serials that also inspired the likes of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Carl Barks' classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics, The Goonies is almost a literal thrill-a-minute film. Packed with (sometimes literal) cliffhangers, subterranean mazes, maps, mysteries, and traps. So many traps! The kinds of traps you might associate with classic Scooby-Doo cartoons but brought to live action with stunning realism and peril all with a Rube Goldberg flair. Traps that wouldn't be out of place in producer Spielberg's Indiana Jones franchise, made all the more perilous because it's a cast of kids being put in danger.So when it came time for us to think up a concept to celebrate the (wanna feel old?) 40th anniversary of The Goonies, we had two choices: It was either the traps or how it's possible that Cyndi Lauper could turn what could have very easily have been a mediocre soundtrack cash-in like “The Goonies ‘R' Good Enough” into a piece of songwriting perfection…or the traps.  We went with the traps. And considering how much ancient history is riddled with real life deathtraps, well…you might be surprised at what we find when we start delving in to the mechanisms of these devices. It's not just whether they work…it's whether they would still work hundreds of years later!Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…if you're good enough…https://youtu.be/-b-Pm2yTHYMSUGGESTED VIEWING Seen The Goonies? Good, go watch it again. Haven't? Go watch it twice. You can thank us later.But also, you might want to check out a couple of other ‘80s classics that are part of this film's DNA. The Goonies falls somewhere on the spectrum between Steven Spielberg's (who produced this film) all-timer Raiders of the Lost Ark and Rob Reiner's R-rated coming of age quest movie Stand By Me. You might also want to check out The Monster Squad as a film which tried to mimic this movie's magic in a different context. And of course, its legacy is felt pretty keenly in Stranger Things…FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do!There are two key ingredients to the traps as depicted in The Goonies, both of which are very rooted in real life: the legacy of Rube Goldberg and the actual security measures from ancient tombs and structures.Rube Goldberg MachinesYou might not realize it, but you know what a Rube Goldberg Machine is. If you ever saw a Looney Tunes cartoon where some absurdly complicated device with many steps performs a simple task (usually set to this distinctive music) then you're already familiar. And while reading about Rube Goldberg and his bizarre creations is one thing (which you can do here) you really should see them to get the full effect.“Tomb Security”The trope that everyone is familiar with thanks to everything from Indiana Jones movies to Pirates of the Caribbean to DuckTales is…mostly true! Maybe not in terms of giant boulders being triggered to roll over you, but in lots of other ways.Usually, these are depicted as part of some kind of “curse” that befalls would-be grave-robbers. Other times they are based in the very real discovery of what appear to be unfortunate human sacrifices. In all cases, these “security measures” are part of elaborate attempts to keep sacred sites undisturbed. And in one, there's even an “army” standing guard…if only they moved!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?The allegedly final installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise is in theaters now and we examined an iconic moment from its past!Final Destination Bloodlines is here and we went back to the very beginning to examine the central concept of the franchise.

Quando viene dicembre...beh, anni fa significava una sola cosa: Disney. Con il Cinema abbiamo già dato per ben due volte e quindi chiudiamo con il viaggio nel viale dei Ricordi Disneyani spostandoci nel piccolo schermo. Nello specifico, ricordando le serie animate che ci hanno tanto divertito e intrattenuto prima dell'avvento dell'oscurantismo. L'effetto nostalgia (unito alla mancanza di coraggio) ha provocato danni alla Disney contemporanea. Tra i tanti "ricicli"/rifacimenti realizzati dalla Casa di Topolino negli ultimi quindici anni, un rifacimento di uno dei classici del Disney Afternoon poteva essere una delle poche eccezioni. E in parte il "Ducktales" inaugurato nel 2017 si è rivelato un prodotto effettivamente divertente e piacevole. Dall'altra, non ha saputo gestire la sua doppia natura artistica (quella legata soprattutto ai fumetti di Carl Barks e Don Rosa) e commerciale (quella segnata dal passaggio dalla TV via cavo a Disney+).

Craig Yoe's biographical interview highlights his creative journey through personal struggles and reinvention, who transforms adversity into creativity while remaining true to his innovative spirit. He discusses his graphic novel Woman & Man+, a psychedelic reflection on leaving the U.S., a painful divorce, and using art therapy to rebuild his life. Raised in the Midwest, Yoe credits his parents for encouraging his creativity, with influences like Carl Barks, Marvel Comics, Steve Ditko, and Robert Crumb. Yoe's 1960s anti-war activism, through protests and underground newspapers, reflected his pacifist values despite cultural losses like the deaths of Hendrix and Joplin. In the 1970s, he embraced the Jesus People movement, blending communal living, spiritual exploration, and work on Christian newspapers with artists like Rick Griffin. He oversaw David C. Cooke Bible and Life Pix comics before moving into toy design with Sid Diamond Toy Company and Marvin Glass toymakers. Yoe later became Creative Director for Jim Henson's Muppets and founded Yoe Studio, building a decades-long career in design and storytelling. His publishing imprint, Yoe Books, has produced award-winning works celebrating comics history and pop culture.

At the intersection of Carl Barks and Akira Kurosawa, you'll find Usagi Yojimbo, a longrunning indie comic about a rabbit ronin in 17th-century Japan. Creator Stan Sakai deftly balances somber meditations on honor and often surprising violence with funny animals and gentle humor, drawing on influences ranging from extensive historical research into traditional swordmaking techniques to Audrey Hepburn movies caught on afternoon TV. We dive into a big chunk of this series (already in progress, as it turns out) and discuss how despite its very specific cultural milieu, the universal themes and plots found in the stories (and the appealing nature of the art) makes this comic instantly accessible.

This week on High Society Radio, Chris Faga & Chris Stanley kick off with a Skankfest recap where Faga shares his highlights including an incredible return to roasting. Meanwhile, Stanley is fully embracing his Sleeze Core lifestyle, and they dive into the chaotic world of Eric Adams' indictment and NYC politics. Could Curtis Sliwa still become mayor? They also touch on Turkey's dirty rep but their top-tier hair transplants, and then get into Iran's latest bombing as we give our take on the dumbest conflict in human history—aka World War 3.Stanley's sleeveless hoodie, leading them into a wild chat about hobo podcasting. For movie fans, Stanley reviews Megalopolis, where Adam Driver is basically a serious version of Scrubs. They even touch on Carl Barks, the unsung hero behind Uncle Scrooge.Wrapping up, they rant about Scott Hanson and Red Zone, and question whether the Taliban even want to run a country or just fight infidels. Finally, Stanley tells tales of his longshoreman days, though we're not convinced he ever worked a pier.Join the boys for another chaotic ride filled with politics, pop culture, and offbeat humor!Support Our Sponsors!Kushlifestore.com - Use promo code FAGA for 40% off and Free Shipping!https://monthlyknifeclub.com/ - Use promo code: GAS for 10% off your first month!https://yodelta.com/ - Use promo code GAS for 25% off your order!https://yokratom.com/ - Check out Yo Kratom (the home of the $60 kilo) for all your kratom needs!High Society Radio is 2 native New Yorkers who started from the bottom and didn't raise up much.

In de 384e aflevering van D-Tales bespreken Jorn en Michiel een breed scala aan onderwerpen, van een weinig bekend eerste concept voor Disney Village in Parijs tot een stapel verse Disney-stripboeken. En hoe ontvang jij de Donald Duck thuis sinds het beschermende plastic is weggelaten? Michiel vertelt over z'n teleurstellende ervaringen.

Hvad har været den vigtigste tegneserie de seneste 10 år? Hvad er den bedste danske tegneserie nogensinde? Hvad er en tegneserie? Og hvad er ikke en tegneserie? Hvis I var i fængsel på livstid, ville I læse Proust eller Carl Barks? Er der en dybere kulturel årsag til forskellen på europæiske og amerikanske tegneserier (ikke mindst superheltene, som primært er et US-fænomen)? Og hvilken tegneserie har sidst fået jer til at græde? Lytterne kunne spørge os om alt, og det blev primært til spørgsmål om tegneserier i dette brevkasseafsnit af Radio Rackham. Der var ingen spørgsmål om meningen med livet, omlægning af lån, om min røv ser stor ud i de her bukser eller om vi kan hjælpe til med at flytte på lørdag. Matthias Wivel, Thomas Thorhauge, Henry Sørensen og Frederik Storm svarer på ovenstående tegneserierelaterede spørgsmål og meget mere. Vi får hjælp af en kendt dansk tegner, hør hvem det er i afsnittet, hvor du også får at vide hvilke tegneseriefigurer Radio Rackham ville være. Lyt med og tak for alle spørgsmålene!

Guests: Ryan Bailey & Morten Guldberg | This episode covers one of Rosa's sequels to a Carl Barks 10-pager, "Super Snooper," and is tacitly about the comic book industry and the difference between superhero and "funny animal" comics.

Sometime in April of 1960, a shy, retiring, hard-of-hearing comic-book artist named Carl Barks got a letter at his quiet suburban home. When he opened it, he found that it was a letter from a stranger named John Spicer. And to his astonishment, he found that it was — a fan letter. “Believe it or not, I have been planning this letter for about four or five years,” Spicer wrote. “I have been kept from doing so for the simple reason that I knew not your name or address. I tried several times, however, but all were in vain.” Spicer's letter was how Barks found out that he was, and had been for at least a decade, a legend — and the most popular comic-book artist in the world. And at first he refused to believe it. Wary of some trick, or a prankster pretending to be a fan to humiliate him, he hesitated to engage with it. But then he decided, why not? And that's how the world started to learn, for the first time, who Walt Disney's elusive, anonymous “Good Duck Artist” was.... (Merrill, Klamath County; 1910s, 1920s, 1930s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/24-03a.carl-barks-the-duck-man.html)

When I asked Roger Langridge about the legacy he'll leave, he said "My tombstone will probably say 'Wrote the Muppets, then died.'" But the fact is, Roger is continuing the tradition of some of the greatest storytellers in history.We talked about his love for Carl Barks, newspaper strips, and the approach he brings to his own works -- including The Muppet Show, and the upcoming Justice Ducks miniseries he's penning for Dynamite Entertainment. I asked him what it's like switching from artist to writer, and drawing from real life as inspiration for his daily strip Hotel Fred.I had a blast talking to Roger, and I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. Buy Justice Ducks at http://dynamite.com/disney, and follow Roger's adventures at http://hotelfred.com For More from Comics Are Dope:Get This Week in Comics, our weekly e-mail newsletter: http://thisweekincomics.comSubscribe on YouTube: http://youtube.com/@comicsaredopeJoin our online Discussion Communities:Facebook - http://bjkicks.link/communityDiscord - http://bjkicks.link/discord

Guest Host: Orion Trunk Greetings listeners! Join us as we delve into the depths of Scrooge's money bin, and encounter the valuable coins buried within! Try to resist the urge to sell them, however, as that way lies ruin...My guest and I discuss Rosa's follow-up to Carl Barks' legendary "the Trouble with Dimes" ten-pager, with its thesis about the folly of Collecting. Whatever you do, don't slab this episode!

Guest Hosts: A.C. Sivebæk & Ted Johansson | Listeners, join us as my guests and I discuss Don Rosa's first fully-fledged sequel to a Barks story, the all-time classic "Lost in the Andes." Rosa was commissioned to do this "Return" story to accompany one of Carl Barks' great oil paintings. There is a LOT to discuss in this packed episode, including the usual Barks references, but also matters of translation, some interesting musical details, making an ice cream soda from scratch and much more!

In 1992, Don Rosa set out to chronicle the backstory of Uncle Scrooge, as originally detailed by breadcrumbs scattered throughout the many earlier stories by Scrooge's legendary creator Carl Barks. The end result was the twelve-chapter "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", considered since then to be the definitive canonical history of the character.

Episode 835 - Jason Interviews Andrew Pepoy - Simone & Ajax: What's Black & White and Read All Over? https://www.pepoy.comSimone, a fun-loving, 20-something girl, and her best pal, Ajax, a small, green dinosaur, first appeared over 30 years ago and have since run rampant in many comics and been nominated for the Harvey Award for Special Award for Humor. They've been described by a reviewer as "...like the best issues of Cerebus, and a mood that harkens Bone," by a reader as "...the look of an Archie comic but the sensibilities of a Marx Brothers movie," and compared to Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge comics that inspired Duck Tales.

Guest host: Orion Trunk | Listeners, join us as we discuss this ten-page story, with a plot element derived from an obscure Carl Barks background gag! We'll talk about the futility of going up against Gladstone Gander in a raffle, whether we prefer our squiggs oolated or un-oolated (for my money, they're way too slippery without the oolation), and much more!

Guest Host: Morten Guldberg Welcome back, listeners! Episode 2 is devoted to Rosa's first ten-page gag story, a spiritual follow-up to Carl Barks' "Some Heir Over the Rainbow," and an opportunity for Don Rosa to set a tale that sprawls throughout Barks' version of 1950s Duckburg. This story packs a lot into its tight ten-page narrative, including Rosa's first use of Gladstone Gander and Gyro Gearloose, memorable walk-on characters like Col. Hogland Gristleburger, and an unusual closing gag that serves as a play on the name of the story's original publisher!

Guest Host: Dan Cunningham Welcome listeners, to the podcast's first episode! My guest and I discuss Rosa's unusual entry into Duck comics and his first story, a sensational debut repurposed from his old comic strip, "the Pertwillaby Papers." This story established Rosa as a new creator eager to play in the sandbox Carl Barks had established and who would send the ducks on similar adventures, including this Andean set tale, which saw the return of Barks' later version of Flintheart Glomgold and would be an auspicious debut in Rosa's Duck comics career!

For our last Gizmoduck episode of Ducktales before moving on to a certain pilot, Mike and Tiffany are looking at "The Unbreakable Bin". Based on a classic Carl Barks comic, in this episode Scrooge fires Gizmoduck after Gyro coats the money bin in protectoglass. But will a certain sorceress with designs on a certain dime ruin everything? Also, how hard is Gizmoduck to animate? How close it this to the original Barks story? And just how great was June Foray? Give us a listen and find out. Just be sure not to decaffeinate yourself! Links- https://linktr.ee/StCanardFiles DW #DarkwingDuck #Ducktales #DisneyAfternoon This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Guest Hosts: Dan Cunningham & Mikkel Hagen Prepare for a high stakes float down the Tulebug River, listeners, as we explore one of Carl Barks' greatest Uncle Scrooge adventures, "the Money Well!" My guests and I talk about this Duckburg set adventure, one of the stories where Scrooge is going to efforts to keep his money away from the Beagle Boys! We'll talk about similarities to "Only a Poor Old Man," and much more!

Guest Hosts: Patrick Block & Warren Harmon Happy New Year! Are you the type to make a resolution? Donald and the nephews certainly are, in these memorable New Year stories, released in back-to-back years. New Year's Revolutions is an entertaining enough story, but Secret Resolutions is the real treat, with its (admittedly low-stakes) mystery structure and decadent drawings of Carl Barks-invented pastries. Why not resolve to enjoy the episode, and to listen to more podcasts!

Guest Hosts: Warren Harmon & Sara Santiago. Aloha listeners, we are up to Uncle Scrooge #4, and the Menehune Mystery, a real departure for Carl Barks. This is arguably the first story in the Scrooge line not concerned with establishing Scrooge's origin and mythos. The story is an excellent example of one of Barks' frequent story typologies: Scrooge hiding his money somewhere. That somewhere ends up being Hawai'i, in a sort of vacation gone wrong. Apart from the tropical location, the story is notable for being Barks' first major artistic collaboration with new wife Garé, who helped with the background work and suggested the idea, based on knowledge of the folklore of her previous home state. It features some great Beagle Boy antics, fascinating cultural information about Hawai'i, and one of Barks' sappiest endings!

Guest Hosts: Patrick Block & Warren Harmon Greetings, listeners! Carl Barks extracted a lot of comedic potential out of Donald's many jobs! In this episode, we'll cover 3 of his many, MANY professions: volunteer firefighter, hotel manager, and milkman, as well as delve briefly into his many other jobs. "Fireman Donald" is an all-time classic ten-pager, while "Sagmore Springs Hotel" is an essential Donald-in-charge story. "The Milkman Story" is a special case; an underexposed story that was originally taken off the publication schedule; it is little-read and has a unique tone, so be sure to track it down!

Ho, rugged listeners! Climb aboard our hot-rod iceberg and hear us talk about this all-time classic Donald Duck story, "the Golden Helmet!" This is a thrilling story with Carl Barks at his absolute best, with masterful art, hilarious dialogue (especially from the indelible villains) and some amazing character work. It doesn't get much better, so enjoy our conversation, just don't go getting any gleams in your eyes!

This episode's story needs no introduction, but here it is anyway! "Only a Poor Old Man," is a Carl Barks masterpiece, one of the Duck Man's all-time greatest and most famous stories, and absolutely lives up to its reputation. This is the story that launch Uncle Scrooge McDuck as a starring character, and provided inspiration for countless future stories, both by Barks and other creators. It is legendary for a reason, and we try to do it justice, so join us as we talk about what makes this story so special.
