Dennis visits the enchanting Highland Park home of Richard Andreoli, author of the new novel Battle at the Comic Expo, which is loosely based on the many years he spent volunteering at Comic-con in San Diego. He talks about the long evolution of the book, the mid-life crisis that motivated him to write it, his affection for the Comic-Con crowd and coming out as gay during the time when he was part of the world. He also talks about his super-serious side-passion; the circus arts and why he loves it. He discusses how it's changed his life, how it's changed his body and how it's enriched his marriage. Other topics include: being a go-go boy for a day for a magazine article, why he wears pantyhose for his circus performances, why it irks him when people refer to our current political situation as "a circus," writing an article about the gay section of the L.A. prison, posing on a trapeze for a fine art painter, being on HGTV's show Urban Backyards, that time he won a Star Trek plate, crushing on Kelly from Guiding Light, working at the Athletic Club in West Hollywood, how super nice author Neil Gaiman is, the Muppet Show lunch box that was everything to him and why Irene Cara's song "Fame" is still awesome.

This time around Chris and Kev are Joined by two thirds of the History Of Bad Ideas Podcast and it goes completely off the rails. No need for show notes this time because its all over the place. Due to Jeff only having a little time we start the cast with some banter about the upcoming Expo and move swiftly into our Top5 which this week we all did something different... Chris did Top5 bad US tv shows based off good UK shows, Jeff did Top5 bad US shows the Brits remade, Jason did Top5 UK wrestlers... What we been watching consists of Orville the Tv Show. Movies like Baby Driver and Chris finally watched Power Rangers. We squeeze in some Listener Questions from both sets of fans. Ending the show with our regular News in which Chris lets us know exactly how he feels about peoples reaction to JJ taking over on the last Star Wars. We have been wanting to get Jason and Jeff on the show for some time and now seemed the right time, before we fly across the world to meet the guys at cincinnati comic expo..
Lloyd & JD roll out another episode of the best podcast in the world. We talk about this years Comic Expo. We discuss Die Antwoord as they have announced a show for Calgary.

As this episode goes out on the interwebs, the guys are busily prepping for Planet Comicon. We were so busy this week that we didn’t have time to sit down and record a normal (you know what I mean) episode... Read More ›
Interview with Marvel Comics illustrator Dave Beaty and friends.
Our final interview is with artist/colorist Jason Lewis! For nearly 10 years Jason has been coloring comics from Marvel to Image, DC to IDW. After the recorded interview, Jason and I continued the conversation about how he worked into the ranks as a colorist. I feel it's worth noting that there was a bit of downplaying the amount of work and networking Jason did in the beginning to put himself out there and land the gigs he's received, and it was in no small part that his tenacity and work ethic helped him get to where he is. Instead of attempting to livestream this year's , decided to hit up a few tables and bother people for interviews! Pay close attention, kids. He's really terrible at this, but had some great interviews! Listen to the audio above and read the transcript lovingly produced by ! (The transcript is on the way! Jason talks fast and with purpose, but I wanted to make sure the audio posted today! I'm hoping to update the post with the transcript later this evening. In the meantime, enjoy these featured pieces from Jason's newest work, Star Trek Deviations!) [su_custom_gallery source="media: 2110,2102" limit="2" link="lightbox" target="blank" width="200" height="300" title="never"] [amazon template=iframe image2&asin=B01NCXJGP6, 1631405322, 1607066076, B00HCRAYAA]
Our next interview from the CPT&CE is with creator/artist/fabricator Jordan Patton! Jordan, along with his friend Aaron Ferguson, is the creator of the long anticipated DeadNecks series — what can only be compared to a live-action cartoon series. Instead of attempting to livestream this year's , decided to hit up a few tables and bother people for interviews! Pay close attention, kids. He's really terrible at this, but had some great interviews! Listen to the audio above and read the transcript lovingly produced by ! R: We're here at the Classic Plastics Toy and Comic Expo with Jordan Patton. Jordan is the creator of DeadNecks and we interviewed him last year. We had the table and we did the live YouTube that wasn't so live and...I'll tell you man, your video, as far as that goes on our YouTube channel, has done the best! So that's very awesome. So how have you been man? J: I've been pretty good, just staying busy. Working on some new stuff towards our first episode, but uh...Yeah other than that I just kind of hide out in my basement for five days a week and work on stuff for our episode. (laugh) R: That's awesome. I've seen the set design and you've come up, it looks like, with a couple of new characters which we'll get to here in a minute. But first I want to know – how is the show going? I mean have you been picked up or anything yet? Or are you still just working through everything and working the lines, the less fun stuff, like getting networking and all that? J: Well right now we're kind of in a build out process for the first episode, so I've got to create all the special effects and everything. We've got the story written, I need to storyboard it. But right now I'm working on making all the props, the makeups, the masks, animatronics, things like that, for our first episode so I'm giving myself about a six to eight month build-out period. Then we're going to start filming. R: Awesome. So with something that's episodic like this, how durable – I mean, you do the work. You and Aaron, right? - and you have a small crew basically, don't you? J: Very small crew. There's about three or four of us that are willing to work on it and put our own time in, and our own money, to try and get it going further. But we're all pretty dedicated to it and once we get all the effects done and everything, start filming, it should only take us about two or three months to actually film our episode. After the episode is done we're kind of hoping that we can pitch it around and see what people feel about it and maybe we can get an even bigger crew to help with future episodes? R: Awesome. So the line I was going on there, to continue that, is with it being an episodic thing do you really have to build the props and the masks to be super durable so you don't have to do as much doctoring throughout the episodes? J: Yeah so we actually encountered that with some of the things that we had for our trailer. So the guns were actually made out of just insulation foam, I carved those out, but during one of our scenes we actually snapped it in half and I actually had to go in and repair it and everything. So in the future we need to make things a little more durable. I'm actually going to be making a mold of that so I can make it latex and foam like a lot of these that way it can bend, flex around and not break or anything. So yeah, with that it needs to be very durable. I mean we're going to have a lot of practical effects like throw-up gags, things like that. A lot of blood splatter. It's essentially going to be like a GWAR show. (laugh) R: (laugh) Right. So do you have, with 3D printing really finding a whole lot of traction in the last couple of years, do you guys do any 3D printing on top of that to help augment? Or do you have access to one, or is it something you'd like to work with in the future? J: Right now everything is kind of done by hand. The shop that I work at, it's a place called Tech Shop; we actually have several 3D printers there. But I haven't utilized them for any of this process yet. I have been looking into resin 3D printing so if I wanted to produce smaller characters and things like that, merch to sell, I would definitely be doing that with the resin SLA printers because you don't get any of the striations in any of your prints so it comes out fairly clean. So I've been looking into doing that so I can get some more products out there for like cool merchandise. R: Awesome. How has the con treated you this year so far? J: It's been pretty cool. I mean I've seen a lot of familiar faces from last year so it's always good to recognize people and have them recognize you and just kind of chit-chat back and forth about what everyone's been into and everything. So yeah, it's been great so far. R: So you also said you're working at a shop? What was the shop's name again? J: A place called “Tech Shop”. It's kind of like, essentially like the YMCA except for without workout equipment. We've got like wood shop, welders, water jet cutters, laser cutters, 3D printers, things like that. R: Oh my God that sounds so freaking awesome. J: Yeah I used to live there like 24-7. Just would never leave the place other than to go sleep at home. (laugh) R: I understand man. I can't even imagine the amount of creative juices flowing in a place like that. J: Yeah there was like 500 or so members there, and everyone does something different so you never know what kind of stuff you're going to see coming out of there. You got all kinds of artists, furniture makers, welders, machinists, it's crazy! People are making their own robots in there. R: That's awesome! So, I mean, doing something like that also affords you great networking opportunities I imagine? J: Without a doubt. Working there has really brought a lot of opportunities to me just with the flow of people that come in there and the people that know about the place. I mean it's helped me grow in my own skill sets as well. Like I didn't know how to weld before going in there and working there. But now I've got welding experience, I've got a lot of various experiences from all the different machinery that's in there and it's really helped me to be able to create a lot of stuff for the show. R: That's awesome. So do we have any new characters that you're bringing to DeadNecks here today? J: Right now we've got one new character. Just finished him up about a day or two ago. His name is “Boo Hoo”; he's like a little patchwork ghost character. He's not actually going to be in the first episode but he's probably going to be making an appearance in the second episode for sure. [caption id="attachment_2095" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Boo Hoo, picture courtesy of Laura Gant[/caption] R: Gotcha, awesome. So what are some of the other characters, if we want to just kinda roll through the table here and even though I don't have – I'll take a picture to post along with it and we'll let them know. So let's start off from the left to the right...which will be the right to left since we're behind the table (laugh) J: (laugh) Right on. Well over here we've got “Soft Serve Merve”, so it's kind of like a larger sculpt I did for that. He's actually going to be used in the first episode. So I mean if you think back to the Ren and Stimpy cartoons whenever it would be hyper-close-ups and you would see all the disgusting details, that's essentially what these larger masks here are for, are for scenes like that in the first episode. So yeah, I tried to sculpt that as detailed as possible just so it would read disgusting whenever you go for that hyper-zoom in the actual skit itself. Below him is the “Birthday Boy”, it's actually one of Merve's victims. So Merve kidnaps children and turns them into strange food related creatures. (laugh) [caption id="attachment_2097" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Birthday Boy, photo courtesy of Laura Gant[/caption] Above him we got “Ma Slackjaw” with her beer can curlers in her hair. She enjoys sleeping, eating, and smoking a lot out of the hole in her neck. (laugh) And then down there we got “Boo Hoo”, the new character. He's actually secretly one of Merve’s victims as well. He kind of lurks about Merve’s whereabouts and kinda haunts the place. R: Oh man, spoilers! (laugh) J: Yeah, a look into the future! Then above that we've got “Pete”, he's more or less the main character of the show. I mean he's just like a little dopey character here. The rest of his family thinks he's completely stupid and useless just because he can't really talk and is always wearing this pumpkin on his head to disguise his horrific face that's underneath of it. Pete's actually really smart and he has a lot of personality but his family doesn't see it because they're all pretty stupid themselves. (laugh) And then beside that we've got “Ted Slackjaw”, Pete's uncle. So the two different versions here: That's the original Ted as well as the hyper-extended face Ted. So the hyper-extended face will also be used in our first episode as well as one of those close-up shots. R: Awesome man! So how many different iterations do you build, different masks, or - J: For one character? Yeah, for one character it sometimes depends on what you can actually do with your face. Because, like, for some of them I do makeups to where you can move your face, but you can only get so much expression out of it. So if I want like a hyper expression like what you see in a lot of cartoons you really just have to sculpt an entire new piece just to really give it that exaggerated look. With DeadNecks we really want it to look and feel like a cartoon. To do the impossible, essentially, with facial structure, bone structure, all that. So to do that you kind of have to break down and do several sculpts for one character just to get that one effect. But I think it'll really be worth it in the end to actually see a living cartoon, essentially. R: When you're doing something like that, do you think about any way to have some sort of modular ability to do something like that? You know where you could maybe detach a jaw only and be able to do something like that? J: Yeah. Well with that you start getting more into the animatronic side of things which is really interesting and you can actually do a lot with those because with those you actually have a skin that goes over top of an under skull. So it kind of mimics the anatomy of an actual person so you can actually get a lot of movement with that. But with that you just got to think about how it's going to work. You've got to kinda deconstruct how something's going to move and kinda reverse engineer it so you can figure out how you need to build it. So I mean that's very interesting and it takes a little bit more time but it's got a really cool effect in the end just because you've got literally an under skull, some skin, movable eyes, things like that. So you can really play around with a lot of things that you can't actually do with a human face. R: Gotcha, awesome. Alright well Jordan, where can people find you if they want to find you guys. Do we have any idea where we'd be looking at watching the first episode? J: So you can find us on , Instagram “DeadNecks”. I would say we're probably looking at getting our first episode out a little over a year from now. Like I said we're in the build out process right now and it should only take us about two or three months after that to get it filmed and then put it into post and get it all edited together. So I would say about a year, year and half from now you should be looking at an episode. We're going to drop spoilers along the way just to keep people entertained and interested along the way. But you should be able to see it, I'd say in a year and a half from now. R: Awesome man, I'll hold you to that. (both laugh) J: Right on. R: Thanks a lot Jordan! J: Yeah, thank you!
The next interview is with artist Lavana Lemley! She easily had one of the most peculiar, beautiful, and eye-catching pieces at the expo (pictured above)! Instead of attempting to livestream this year's , decided to hit up a few tables and bother people for interviews! Pay close attention, kids. He's really terrible at this, but had some great interviews! Listen to the audio above and read the transcript lovingly produced by ! Remington: I'm here at the Classic Plastic's Toy and Comics Expo and right now I am with Lavana Lemley. And Lavana is an artist in the area, and she has a very interesting piece here. Why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about this piece? Lavana Lemley: Well the one beside is us a six-foot sphinx. It is based off of antelope, and tree roots, and just a twisted creature (laugh). R: It's very eye-catching and your placement of it here on the floor is perfect to catch people's eye. So how long did it take you to make this particular sphinx? L: This one took about two to three weeks. There's a lot of dry time with it, so it always extends like how long it takes to make it. And it's made in multiple pieces. R: Gotcha, so I can see a little bit of the different pieces put together here. You also have fleece blankets and prints as well. I heard you tell somebody earlier that all of your fleece blankets and things like that are machine washable? L: Yeah they're machine washable, microwave safe, dishwasher safe. Um, the mugs anyway...don't put the blankets in the dishwasher, but (laugh) yeah they're all really durable. I get them printed and I design them. R: So how long does it take – I see a lot of sphinxes. A lot of nature-oriented things. What do you enjoy about painting all of those nature forms? L: I just think nature itself is really weird. It can be really dark and really beautiful at the same time, so it's really easy to get inspiration from it. on Aug 4, 2015 at 2:50pm PDT R: Do you have any film or other artists that inspire your particular…style, yeah (both laugh). L: Um sure! I love Guillermo Del Toro's work – Pan's Labyrinth is one of my favorites. And of course I like Tim Burton and stuff like that. People who make dark, interesting creatures but they're not always actually dark on the inside? They're...I don't know. (laugh) Unusual? R: Right I gotcha. Well thank you very much! If there is anybody who would like to see your art – because there have been pictures up here at the con on their Facebook and things like that – But if they would want to get a hold of you or see your art in some way, where can they go? L: Let's see...I have a permanent display at the Riverside Artist's Gallery in Marietta, it's the one that's by Tampico's and Pizza Place. And then I also have stuff on display, usually, at the Vienna Public Library. And then I usually will do random shows and stuff at the Parkersburg Art Center. R: Do you have a website or a Facebook page or anything where people can order stuff? Anything of that nature? Or do you just usually sell merchandise at shows? L: I do just sell merchandise at shows, but people could contact me through my email on my website. It's . And then I have the Facebook page, it's “” as well as an Instagram which is just “”. R: Alright, well thank you Lavana! I appreciate you taking the time to do my first interview! L: Yay! (both laugh)
Our first interview is with James Patrick, writer of Harley Quinn, Green Arrow, Star Trek, Batman, Death Comes to Dillinger, and much, much more! Instead of attempting to livestream this year's , decided to hit up a few tables and bother people for interviews! Pay close attention, kids. He's really terrible at this, but had some great interviews! Listen to the audio above and read the transcript lovingly produced by ! Rem: We're here at the Classic Plastics Toy and Comic Expo with - James: James Patrick! R: James Patrick, creator of Hero Hourly and Impostor and and all of that sort of thing. Writer extraordinaire! How have you been? J: I've been doing great. This show has been wonderful. R: Has it? So you said that you've been received really well. It looks like you have a primo spot here. So, uh... J: This spot was actually the result of a mistake. So we'll call it a wonderful mistake. R: Oh really? That's awesome. Good. Glad to hear it. So, what have you been doing since the last time we talked and what have you got going in the works? J: Um, right now I have a bunch of pitches in at different companies. Companies people recognize. I can't get into what I'm talking about what I'm working on yet. R: Sure. J: But those things are developing. And then I have different creator owned books. For instance I have a book that we're about to pitch – it's related to giant monsters, it's a Kaiju book. I'm not going to get into the hook or the specifics but it's a giant monster book with a twist. Actually...ah, we'll leave it at that. It's a giant monster book with a twist. R: Haha, aw man. You're going to leave me hanging with that? That kind of sucks because I'm kind of excited about the Kaiju stuff. The Godzilla stuff, there was this, uh, I guess not a leak so much but they were talking about how in the credits, they released the credits - J: For Kong? R: For Kong, yeah. And they had some of the other TOHO monsters? J: Right, like Mothra. Monster X. And I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard they're – I don't know if they're in the credits or I don't know what's going on. But I've heard something, and I'm looking forward to Kong. I haven't seen Logan yet so I've got to cross Logan off the list, then I'll cross Kong off the list. R: Gotcha. I haven't seen Logan yet either, I don't know if I'll be able to see it in the theatres, but are you excited to see it as well? J: I'm VERY excited to see it. I'm probably going to go tonight or tomorrow, depending. I don't know. I'm just really looking forward to it, it hear it's really good. R: Awesome. So is there anything else you'd like to NOT pitch to me that you're not NOT doing? J: (Laughs) No…Um, no I can't get into specifics. If the wrong person...I'll get in trouble. Um, let's just say I've got a bunch of stuff out there I'm working on and I'm talking to different people about doing different things right now. So that's pretty much all I can say. Um, that's it for now. I'm working on a Kaiju book and I'm working on a book with the Devil and a couple other things. And that's all, for now. That's good enough. R: With the devil? (laugh) J: Yeah. A devil Kaiju or something, I don’t know. R: laugh Nice. So that being said since you have to keep everything hush-hush, you'll keep me in the loop when you get something that you can actually talk about, won't you? J: Absolutely. When something develops and I can announce it, and I will. And I'll tell you. I'll phone you up and I will say “Remington, I...you are the first.” R: I won't be the first, don't lie to me man. J: Okay, I've been lying. So you're right. R: Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. If anyone wants to find you, where can they find you at? J: Do you mean like at home? Like my address? Or do you mean at the show? R: Yeah, I mean if you just want to give out your home address, your date of birth, your social security number or something like that? J: Yeah, sure, whatever. No. Yeah if they want to come down to the Classic Plastics Show I'm here. I don't know. Is this airing, is this live? R: No, it's not live. J: Okay, well like I told the other people at the other podcast. Everything is 90% off if you come down today. So come on down. Everything is 90% as long as you get here today. Also I'd like to say a big, big thanks out to Schmo from SchmoMo News because if people don't thank her, well, she gets upset. R: Yeah I was very upset I couldn't make it here yesterday to see her in her Supergirl outfit. [caption id="attachment_2053" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Picture courtesy of The Schmo; Schmo Mo News[/caption] J: She looked amazing. There were a lot of cosplayers here who looked amazing, and she was one of them. And I encourage everyone to check out . R: Alright, thanks James! J: No problem!

The other day, I finally had a chance to sit down with Tony Workman, owner of the in Parkersburg, WV for our very first on-site interview. Listen in!! This is a transcript of the conversation, cleaned up for your reading pleasure! Rem: We’re here today with Tony Workman, owner and operator of the Classic Plastics Toy Store located in downtown Parkersburg, WV and progenitor of the Classic Plastics Toy and Comic Expo which is quickly approaching on March 4th and 5th at the Parkersburg Art Center. Tony, how are you doing? Tony: Pretty good. R: You ready for take two? T: Definitely! Both: *shared laughter* R: So I may or may not have screwed up the last recording, and I really won't know until I get it into the computer to find out. So we're going to do it again and I'm going to make Tony suffer through it because he's awesome like that! Tony, what got you started in selling toys? T: Pretty much my love of them. I've always had toys and I never really grew out of it, so I wanted to keep that going and so I turned a hobby into a business. R; You started off by having a shop in a local flea market, what drove you to make the jump to having a retail space? T: It came down to availability — with the flea market being [open] three days and me growing out of the space I was in. I kept getting a bigger and bigger space, and I just figured it was time to get a building. R: Gotchya. What kind of toys and other items do you carry? T: There is a little bit of everything. We started at the flea market with vintage used toys that people would bring in to us, and then when I moved here, I started getting into new toys from NECA and Funko — stuff like that. R: So do you have any primo stuff for the fine dining toy collector? T: Every now and then we'll get stuff from collectors that we'll bring in, like packages Ninja Turtles from the 80's or stuff from NECA that is really highly detailed or articulated. Stuff that might be pricier, but worth the money. R: I notice you also have vintage functional arcade machines. What inspired the decision to include those in your space? T: I always loved going to the arcade when I was a kid. There was a movie theater that my parents would take my brothers and I to; and before every movie, we would sit there and play arcade games until it was time to go in and watch it. I've watched them all shut down all over the place, and I just wanted to try and bring that back. R: Gotchya. Do you host any special extended hour events like arcade or Collectible Card Game tournaments? T: We do with the arcade games. We have free arcade day once a month that we try to do toward the end of the month. It's what it sounds like: just come in and play free arcades all day. () R: Awesome! So, as I said, you are the progenitor of the Classic Plastics Toy and Comic Expo coming up again March 4th and 5th. This will be the fourth year you’ve hosted the CPT&CE, the third year it will be taking place at the Parkersburg Art Center. What sparked the truly daunting task of organizing an expo? T: My buddy, Todd Wines works for The Red Cross and they were looking for a fundraiser that would be in different age groups with different types of people that they don't normally get any kind of support from, so he came to me and asked "Do you want to do a toy and comics expo?" – with him being a huge comic nerd - and of course, I said yes. *laughter* R: Is it just you pulling the strings, or do you have a crew helping to get all the gears moving? T: For the most part, it's just me. Todd does help when he can, but with his job being in disaster relief, it's just a matter of if there's going to be a flood or something. So if that happens, he really has to focus on that which leaves me to be the only one. But I do have employees that I can pay to help me out as well. R: This year you’re featuring nearly 100 vendors and guests. How well has the attendance grown over the past four years? T: The first year was in a church on South Side [Parkersburg], and it had 300 people. Last year - our 3rd year - we had 1200 people. We're hoping to get over 2000 people with it being the first two-day show, but it is just a kind of wait-and-see. R: And as you said, this is the first multi-day event. Why was the decision made to extend the expo? T: Last year there were so many people. The Art Center is a pretty decent-sized building, but there were so many people on the floor that it was hard to get through the aisles and see all the inventory and enjoy the show as much as people wanted. So we thought spreading it out over the two days would give people the opportunity to choose when and what day they wanted to come. R: Awesome! Who can we expect to see this year, then? T: This year we have Steve Cardenas, the second red ranger from Power Rangers — Rocky, the red ranger if anyone watches the show. Along with Tim Clark, an 80's toy designer. He did stuff like Boglins and Sectaurs. He worked a little bit on Fraggle Rock. And then the local legend, Jordan Patton is back again this year from SyFy's Face Off and does the show Deadnecks. R: We have the expo, and then we have some external events that are happening as well. What are some of the events that are happening at the expo and outside of it that will really make for the first weekend of March to be a truly grand adventure for anyone coming to downtown Parkersburg? T: Starting with the outside stuff first: It's being done by Downtown PKB again. They did an event last year that they got really good reception from - Savor Saturday - that they're going to be doing again this year. It's going to include 12 different restaurants [in the downtown area] that you can walk around and get dollar samples from. So if you haven't eaten at any of the downtown restaurants, it gives you a really good chance to try out some of what's on their menu. There's also going to be this guy, - I don't even know his name - he came into the store one time and said "You let me into the show one day for free, and I'll go around all the PokeStops downtown and put lures on them." So that is going to be at noon — the same time as people are walking around for Savory Saturday. You can take advantage of a whole bunch of lures and sample a whole bunch of restaurants down here. Inside, the Vienna Library is doing events like Lego Building and Story Time on Sunday. J&M Bookstore on South Side is doing board games and tabletop events both Saturday and Sunday; along with Rare Drops from Huntington doing video game tournaments. Both of these will be in the basement of the Art Center. Then there will be a cosplay contest and I'm probably forgetting something else. *laughter* R: *laughter* It is hard to keep track of all of it, isn't it? T: It is! R: So finally, do you have anything you’d like to add that I may have forgotten to cover? T: I can't remember if it was mentioned, but proceeds to the show go towards Downtown PKB and the Arts Center — they'll be split in half. I do not get any profit from this. This is something that is done for the community and as a promotion for my store. In the past, it was done for the Red Cross, but we changed to Downtown PKB this year. So if you guys are really wanting to support your local area and your local businesses, coming to the expo is going to be really important. Rem: Awesome! You can join us in the fun at the Classic Plastics Toy & Comic Expo, March 4th and 5th at the Parkersburg Art Center, located at 725 Market Street in Parkersburg West Virginia.

Hope you enjoy it!We would like to thank the promoters for including us in their inaugural show. We really enjoyed ourselves!Editors note: one of the mic or mic cables seemed to be cutting in and out. Since it was a live event, there is very little ways to predict these even doing a sound check prior to recording. We'll get it squared away before our next live recording at COIL Con. We apologize in advance.
It's been a month in the making! Thanks for the wait. We have one a heck of a show for this episode. In the first half, we actually have some VINTAGE discussion talking about our favorite figure and vehicle from 83 (and 82). We will do this every episode from here on out until we get to 94 and then we will figure something else out! HA! After our discussion, we jump to a pre-recorded interview with GI Joe Field Manual co-author Jim Sorenson. In the second half, Jay Hunger (from that hack geeky podcast) joins Gary as they talk to Billy Cooper of the Indy Toy and Comic Expo as WOJM will be recording live from their show in July! After the interview we dip into the mailbag to read a letter from one of our regular listeners detailing the similarities and differences of JoeCon v. BotCon. In the news we celebrate Jon Chu helming GI Joe 3, they review - once again - the SDCC Joe exclusives, they discuss the new Regular Joes Podcast and wrap it up with talk about the new wave of Retaliation Joes arriving. It's a pieced together episode that totals almost 3 hours of content...and a woman on it to boot. How could you NOT listen now, right? Oh, and don't forget to listen to our new spin off, The Full Force!
