“Life is chaos—but we're doing all right.” From Halloween hangovers to Thanksgiving Turkey Explosions, Trevor & Dave dive into an oddly empty Disneyland visit, a Haunted Mansion Holiday that felt twice as fast, and a Star Tours ride-through that sparks the eternal question: why does a civilian shuttle have blasters? We swap Jungle Cruise safari stories (secret-shopper managers, Indy's “King Kong doors”), mourn the death of free club soda taps, and so much more!Thanks to this episodes sponsor WDW Magazine.

Esta semana, en Clave45, nos adentramos en un territorio donde el misterio, la crónica negra y el arte gráfico se dan la mano para crear algo insólito: “The Horror Country”, una obra que nace del archivo real de casos investigados por Manuel Carballal, toma forma visual gracias al talento colosal del dibujante Salvador Larroca, y queda hilada con precisión quirúrgica bajo la supervisión de la periodista Elena Merino. Tres pilares del misterio, el cómic y la narrativa realista unidos en un proyecto que rompe moldes. En este episodio desmontamos prejuicios. Porque sí: vamos a hablar de cómics, y más de uno saltará como si hubiera escuchado reggaetón al amanecer. Pero en Clave45 reivindicamos el décimo arte sin pedir permiso: lectura, comprensión, abstracción, narrativa visual, documentación… Si crees que el cómic “no es para ti”, tal vez te estés perdiendo la puerta de entrada a un mundo que exige más inteligencia que pasividad. Al fin y al cabo, ese storyboard que sostiene tus películas favoritas… también es cómic. Por eso hoy, además de misterio, traemos arte, multimedia, memoria histórica del género y verdadera creación cultural. Hablamos con los tres responsables de una obra que ficcionaliza —sin mentir— algunos de los casos más desconcertantes investigados por Carballal. Y lo hacemos de la mano de David Santiso, devorador insaciable de cómics, y de un Gerald Dean que, más fanboy que nunca, levanta la alfombra roja para un invitado de leyenda: Salvador Larroca, premio Eisner y uno de los dibujantes más influyentes de Marvel y DC, Workhorse incansable de la industria, narrador visual que ha redefinido generaciones enteras de superhéroes. Nos acompaña también Elena Merino, referente absoluta del true crime y creadora de Elena en el país de los horrores, una periodista capaz de convertir cada caso en un relato hipnótico, profundo y rigurosamente humano. Y cerramos el triángulo con Manuel Carballal, investigador incansable, criminólogo, experto en sectas, ufología y fraudes paranormales, un habitual de Clave45 cuya voz siempre ilumina… y a veces incomoda. Su archivo es la materia prima de este nuevo universo: The Horror Country. Prepárate para un episodio donde el misterio se vuelve dibujo, el dibujo se convierte en relato, y el relato te arrastra a parajes tan reales como perturbadores. No es un programa sobre cómics: es un programa sobre el poder del misterio contado a través del arte. https://www.edenex.es

Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this engaging episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz interviews his business associate, Bob Levin, about his remarkable journey from Sears catalog copywriter to President of Worldwide Marketing at Disney, Sony Pictures, and MGM, before joining Kevin at Screen Engine in the role of President and COO. Listen in as these two industry veterans share marketing insights and discuss their upcoming book, How to Score in Hollywood (Simon & Schuster, November 11th), which reveals the hidden formula behind a movie's profitability — showing how audience understanding drives smarter decisions from greenlight to release.Disney's Renaissance Era (09:00) Bob recounts joining Disney just as Eisner and Katzenberg were revitalizing the studio, leading marketing during 17 consecutive hits, including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, The Lion King, and Pretty Woman.Marketing Philosophy (15:51) "Good marketing is both instinct and data," Bob explains, describing his pioneering approach of creating targeted messaging for different audience segments at Disney's animation division.Pretty Woman & Marketing Triumphs (19:33) Bob reveals how he helped to transform Pretty Woman from a potentially dark R-rated film into a celebration of female empowerment, even suggesting the iconic title to replace the original "3000".The Screen Engine Years (34:40) After leading marketing at three major studios, Bob joined Screen Engine, helping to build their research business, which started in Kevin's living room, into an industry powerhouse that expanded beyond film into other industries.How to Score in Hollywood (42:48) Bob discusses their upcoming book, which examines how movies get greenlit, applying the principle that "every movie if made and marketed for the right price should make money.”Understanding Audience Response (47:42) Levy notes that audiences aren't "wrong" when they dislike something; they're simply reacting honestly. Bob learned that viewers fundamentally seek characters with whom they can identify.The Attention Economy (48:54) Rather than thinking in terms of being in "the movie business," Levin suggests viewing entertainment as part of "the attention economy" where respecting the audience and telling great stories remains paramount.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share.

In this 2021 Word Balloon conversation, acclaimed writer Ed Brubaker joins John Siuntres to discuss his Eisner-winning crime graphic novel Destroy All Monsters, the third volume in the Reckless series created with longtime collaborator Sean Phillips. Brubaker explains how Destroy All Monsters expands the world of 1980s Los Angeles through the eyes of Ethan Reckless, the one-man fixer caught between Hollywood corruption, fading ideals, and his own haunted past.He talks about how the story draws from the noir tradition of Ross Macdonald and the downbeat realism of 1970s thrillers — but told through the sleek, cinematic storytelling he and Phillips have perfected. The conversation explores how the Reckless books evolved out of Criminal, Fatale, and Kill or Be Killed, why he and Phillips pivoted to the original graphic novel format, and how working with Sean's son Jacob Phillips for color and design gave the series a distinctive look and rhythm.Brubaker also opens up about his creative process, writing discipline, and the freedom of publishing through Image Comics, where he and Phillips maintain full ownership and complete artistic control. It's a candid, craft-focused talk with one of comics' finest storytellers — part writing masterclass, part look inside modern noir's most successful creative partnership.

Puhumme vanhuuden ja ikääntymisen kuvaamisesta mangassa sekä siitä, millaisissa rooleissa vanhemmat hahmot tarinoissa ovat. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme kohusta, joka syntyi Vizin julkaistua tekoälyfirma Orangen käännöksen sarjasta Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze, amerikkalaisten sarjakuvapalkintogaalojen mangaedustuksesta tänä vuonna sekä The New Yorkerin artikkelista siitä, miten Shonen Jump -lehdestä on tullut mangan hittitehdas. Lukujonossa kokeilemme tuoretta fantasiasarjaa Ichi the Witch sekä luemme loppuun Delicious in Dungeonin. --- Kommentoi | Bluesky | Mastodon | X | Threads | Instagram --- (01:24) – KUULUMISET: TULEVAT JAKSOT - Young Magazine USA (08:04) – VANHUUS: ESITTELY – Jakso 61, jossa puhuimme siitä, miksi mangasarjat ovat niin pitkiä (10:53) – VANHUUS: IÄN MERKITYS JAPANILAISESSA YHTEISKUNNASSA – Mainittuja sarjoja, joissa pienelläkin ikäerolla on väliä: – Space Brothers – Onimai – Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro – You Got Me, Sempai!, josta puhuimme jaksossa 115 – Takopi's Original Sin – Ouran High School Host Club – Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues – Toradora (20:53) – VANHUUS: KESKI-IKÄISET – ReLIFE-sarjassa 27-vuotias salaryman saa tilaisuuden elää lukioikänsä uudestaan, mutta nuorennetun kehon suorituskyky jää kuitenkin ennalleen, ja päähenkilö satuttaa selkänsä palloa heittäessään, koska ei ole urheillut työelämään astumisen jälkeen – Kaiju No. 8:n päähenkilö on 32-vuotias – Jakso 85, jossa Maaret listasi kuulijakommenttiosiossa viisi suosikkiaan seksikkäistä setämiehistä – Psycho-Passin vanhempi toimeenpanija Masaoka (kuva) – Jakso 104, jossa puhuimme Japanin koulujärjestelmästä Tarinoita, jotka kertovat lukioikäisen vanhemmasta (molemmat toki myös seinenmangan toimintasankareita): – My Home Hero – Inuyashiki Opettajia: – Blue Periodin Masako Saeki – Puhuimme sarjasta jaksossa 57 – Great Teacher Onizukan vararehtori Uchiyamada ja rehtori/puheenjohtaja/tms Sakurai (tittelit ja positiot ovat vähän hankalia) – Puhuimme sarjasta jaksossa 104 – Spy x Familyn Henry Henderson – Puhuimme sarjasta jaksossa 53 Seinensankareita: – Golgo 13 – Tonegawa kertoo, miten kädet pestään oikein (YouTube) – Minami no teiou – Sakamoto Days Romansseja ja romanttisia ihmissuhdetarinoita: – After the Rain, josta puhuimme jaksossa 52 – 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 – Old-Fashioned Cupcake, josta puhuimme jaksossa 79 – Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, josta puhuimme jaksossa 83 Seksikkäitä setämiessarjoja: – A Man and His Cat – Hotel Metsäpeura e youkoso (49:47) – VANHUUS: REALISTISET VANHUKSET Sarjoja, joissa lukioikäinen asuu isovanhemman kanssa: –Orange, josta puhuimme jaksossa 116 – My Dress-up Darling – Full Moon wo Sagashite – Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest, josta puhuimme jaksossa 26 – Tarpeettoman seksikäs isoisä (kuva) – Fullmetal Alchemist, josta puhuimme jaksossa 84 Sarjoja, joista löytyy turvallisia mekaanikkotätejä ja -setiä: – Heavy Object – Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Naisnäkökulmaa vanhenemiseen: – BL Metamorphosis – Credits Roll into the Sea – Hanamonogatari – Ristorante Paradiso ja Gente – GDILF = Grandad I'd Like to Fuck Mies ja lapsi -sarjoja: – Candy & Cigarettes – Alice & Zoroku – Länkkärivastine: Up – kohti korkeuksia Mainittuja mies ja lapsi -sarjoja, joissa se mies on nuorempi: – Aishiteruze Baby – Barakamon – Hinamatsuri (01:04:01) – VANHUUS: TAISTELUVAARIT Shounenmättösarjoja, joista löytyy kovia taisteluvaareja: – Dragon Ball – Dr. Stone, josta puhuimme jaksossa 41 – One-Punch Man (seinensarja, mutta täynnä Jump-energiaa) – Hunter × Hunter – Bleach – Jujutsu Kaisen – My Hero Academian Gran Torino on saanut inspiraationsa Yodasta, kuten puhuimme jaksossa 94 – Yoda taas on saanut inspiraationsa Akira Kurosawan leffasta Seitsemän samuraita – Länkkärivastine: Kung Fu Panda – One Piece – Monkey D.

Content warning: Sexual assault, pedophilia On this episode, we welcome The Flop House podcast co-host, current Harley Quinn writer and former The Daily Show With Jon Stewart head writer Elliott Kalan for a discussion of the 1978 graphic novel A Contract With God, written and illustrated by Will Eisner! This collection of standalone stories, centered around a fictional tenement building in the Bronx, finds Eisner (perhaps best known as the creator of The Spirit) drawing on his own life to examine the relationship between man and God and the Jewish-American experience in 1930s New York. Can Frimme Hersh, filled with grief and rage following the death of his adopted daughter, draft an unbreakable compact with the Almighty? And can this groundbreaking work enter into a legally binding covenant with that higher authority known as … The Comics Canon?

Three years in and somehow we're getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell's Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess's spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott's Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinking Around the World,” then dive into park reality: line-cutting mega-squads, DIY Lightning Lane scams, and why Disney's feeling more two-tier than ever.Also: introduce yourself to the Lincoln Challenge (stand like the animatronic—no hands, no lawsuits), a Star Tours hat caper, and a Patreon tease for our two-part Marceline video drop. It's tangents, tiki, and just enough chaos to keep the Jungle boat afloat.Rate, review, and tag us with #LincolnChallenge.Use code JUNGLE10 for 10% off subscriptions or merch, from this episodes sponsor WDW Magazine—the glossy, collectible way to keep the magic on your coffee table.

Long-time tensions between two families in the town are finally coming to a head as a big change to the town's infrastructure is about to take place. Just as that is about to happen, disaster strikes, but who is behind it and why?

Want to listen to this episode ad-free? Visit our Patreon! Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. With us this week are Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the hivemind on a victory lap having just completed writing NYX and GIANT SIZE X-MEN. We dive into their earliest work (with Alyssa Milano) and their new video game before getting into everything NYX as a reframe of Krakoan culture. We then cover a comic that came out at the very beginning of their collaboration 20 years ago - New X-Men 14 - which is NOT the X-Men you think it is. It's the New Mutants (no, not those New Mutants) going toe-to-toe with the Hellions (no, the other Hellions) and by toe-to-toe I mean dripping in angst and teenage drama because in this series THERE IS NO PUNCHING. Also in this episode: Collin and Jackson play the X-Newlywed Game Why not to name your comic after one of Elon Musk's kids The X-Men if they were a high school tv drama Julian of the Hellions is just horrible and keeps calling the Cuckoos by the dead ones' names What got left on the cutting room floor for NYX What does this school dance of an X-Men issue mean for the future of their collaborative partnership? Tune in to find out! Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly are a classic rivals-turned-brothers story - and a partnership with work that spans across television, comics, novels, podcasts, and feature films. Raised in hippie enclaves, they met in college and have since built a lifelong creative hivemind, becoming NYT-Bestselling comic book creators with three Eisner nominations along the way. They utilize their deep love of world-building and character-centric story on critically-acclaimed titles such as CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY (Marvel), GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (Marvel), BATMAN BEYOND: NEO-YEAR (DC), ONE BAD DAY: CLAYFACE (DC Comics), STAR TREK (IDW) and of course fans of this show know their work on NYX and Giant Sized X-Men.

Today, we welcome veteran comic writer and animation producer Steve Seagle to explore his remarkable career. He started at Renegade Press with early creator-owned series like Kafka, The Amazon, and Solstice before temporarily leaving comics and then returning to work on major Marvel titles like Uncanny X-Men and Alpha Flight during a pivotal era in the company's history. Steve discusses his acclaimed run on Sandman Mystery Theatre, which earned him three Eisner nominations, his deeply personal graphic novel It's a Bird..., which offered a meta-narrative about the struggle of writing Superman, and how he balances commercial appeal with intimate storytelling across his diverse career. We also dive into his role as co-founder of Man of Action Entertainment and work on shows like Big Hero 6, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Avengers Assemble, exploring how his comic book background influenced his approach to animation storytelling. You can follow Steve on Instagram @steventseaglemoa or at the Man of Action site, manofaction.tv.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

In the second half of my conversation with Matt Fraction, we shift gears to talk about his ever-evolving writing process, from Batman to his Eisner-winning work on Jimmy Olsen and other standout projects from across his career.Fraction digs into how his approach to storytelling has changed over the years, balancing structure with spontaneity, and what keeps him inspired as both a writer and a fan.We also dive into today's movie and TV landscape—what's working, what isn't, and how the comics medium continues to shape (and sometimes outshine) its Hollywood adaptations.To wrap things up, Matt and I swap some of our favorite cult film recommendations—deep cuts and offbeat classics that deserve a spotlight. It's a wide-ranging, candid discussion that blends comics craft, pop culture commentary, and cinephile passion.

The lads welcome special guest Tim Kelly this episode for a whirlwind of Disneyland in the '70s, from speeding Casey Jr. trains and Skyway shenanigans to fireworks misfires and Tinker Bell crash landings. Tim also dives into his days as a pitcher, scout, and coach with the Dodgers and Angels — including unforgettable moments at Dodgers Fantasy Camp with Joe Walsh of the Eagles, stories of big-band nights at the park, and Michael Eisner's quirky Angels era. It's trains, tunes, and trouble all rolled into one.

Sometimes a graphic novel comes along that is so good, as soon as I'm done reading it, I immediately read it again. That's what happened with Hello Sunshine, the newest graphic novel by Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator Keezy Young. I first encountered Keezy's work when I read Sunflowers, an autobio comic about one person's experience living with bipolar disorder. I was blown away by how personal and intimate the comic was and reached out to Keezy to be on the podcast. They graciously agreed and sent me a copy of Hello Sunshine. It's an absolutely gorgeous hardcover, but the story and art in its pages may end up being the best graphic novel I've read in 2025. Keezy and I chat about Sunflowers and Hello Sunshine, the fine line they walk in telling this story of mental illness and the supernatural, the visual language of the comic, destygmatizing mental illness, their creative process, and the incredible lettering. You do not want to miss this episode.  WHAT IS HELLO SUNSHINE ALL ABOUT: In this lush and romantic queer horror graphic novel, a troubled teen disappears from his small town—sending his loved ones on a paranormal journey to bring him home.Noah is heartbroken. He returns from Bible camp to find that Alex, his secret boyfriend, has had a breakdown and disappeared. He wishes more than anything that he hadn't left that day. Sky is determined. She'll stop at nothing to find her childhood friend, even if it means alienating the people she loves. Izzy is ashamed. She knew something weird was going on with Alex, and she didn't say anything to her boyfriend, Jamie—Alex's twin brother. If she had, would Alex still be here? Jamie is angry. Angry at Alex for being gone, angry at himself for not noticing something was wrong, and angry at his long-dead mother, Desdemona, who had problems of her own.But what if there was something more to Desdemona's demons? Why is Jamie seeing her ghost? And can he get past his hatred of her if it means finding out what happened to his brother?

This time on General Witchfinders, we're heading into deep space — and hell itself — with the notorious 1997 science fiction horror film Event Horizon.··Directed by Paul Anderson and written by Philip Eisner, Event Horizon is set in 2047. A rescue crew investigates the ship Event Horizon, which vanished years earlier and is now orbiting Neptune.··After Mortal Kombat (1995), Anderson was suddenly in demand, linked to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and even X-Men. Instead, he wanted a darker R-rated project. Paramount gave him Eisner's script, first about alien creatures, but Anderson reworked it into a haunted house in space, drawing on The Haunting and The Shining.··Filming was rushed when Titanic slipped its release. The first 130-minute cut was heavily trimmed after poor test screenings. One infamous scene, a Bosch-inspired vision of Hell using amputees and adult performers, survived only as brief flashes but fuelled the film's cult status.··The gravity drive began as a floating black hole but was redesigned as rotating spiked rings, echoing Clive Barker's Hellraiser and biblical Ophanim. Built to really move, it rattled so much that dialogue was re-recorded later. Eisner admitted Warhammer 40,000's “Warp” also influenced the idea.··At the time Anderson was credited as “Paul Anderson.” He later added the W. S. to avoid confusion with Paul Thomas Anderson. His later films include Resident Evil entries and Alien vs. Predator.··Filming took place at Pinewood Studios with visual effects by Cinesite and the Computer Film Company. The interior design was inspired by Notre Dame, creating a cruciform gothic cathedral feel. An early space station shot of Dr. Weir took 10 weeks, a third of the FX budget, and was redone more than 20 times. Composer Michael Kamen worked with Orbital for a hybrid score.··Laurence Fishburne plays Captain Miller of the Lewis and Clark. He later voiced the Silver Surfer, played Jack Crawford in Hannibal, and appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3.··Sam Neill plays Dr. William Weir. Famous for Jurassic Park, he once auditioned for James Bond, losing to Timothy Dalton, and appeared in Possession and Omen III: The Final Conflict.··Jason Isaacs appears as D.J., the medic. Early credits include The Tall Guy. He went on to play Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter and Harry H. Corbett in The Curse of Steptoe. He recalled Event Horizon as “genuinely disturbing,” especially the “hell set.”··Sean Pertwee plays pilot Smith. Son of Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor, he appeared in Cadfael, horror favourite Dog Soldiers, and later Gotham as Alfred Pennyworth, reimagined as ex-special forces.··Event Horizon remains a cult 1990s sci-fi horror, combining gothic design, disturbing imagery, and a cast of future stars. Its lost footage and production stories keep fans returning to one of the most infamous horror films of the decade.·Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders. Hosted on Acast.

This week on Toon'd In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the legendary animator, writer, director, and Darkwing Dad himself—Tad Stones! The creative force behind Darkwing Duck, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and the Aladdin sequels and series sits down for a no-holds-barred chat packed with passion, nostalgia, and a few myth-busting surprises (yes, we're talking about Darkwing and Batman... again).From his early days at Disney during the Eisner boom to crafting some of the most beloved Saturday morning staples of all time, Tad shares what it really took to bring these shows to life—story pitches, character development, late-night rewrites, and the moments that made it all worthwhile. He and Jim reflect on their collaborations, the evolution of TV animation, and why the heart behind the art still matters most.
