Podcast appearances and mentions of jess nevins

The end of 2024 is nigh!You can follow the podcast on Instagram and Threads although I am also trying to join in on BlueSky a bit. (It's a bit weird though.) Welcome to an end of year special! A compilation of some interesting parts of conversations from the podcast in 2024 that were edited out. I edit the podcast down to a more digestible length but this means I often lose parts of conversations that are really fun or insightful so here is a collection of those. I also wanted to give a shout out to some amazing independent podcasters who (like myself) do not have huge teams or budgets to put together their shows. They've also offered me some sense of camaraderie in the crazy world of obsessing over something and then making podcasts about it. You can find The Lorehounds crew and offerings which include conversations and recaps on some of the best sci-fi shows around on their website. Em at Verbal Diorama is absolutely lovely, passionate about films (especially The Mummy) and does deep dives into many popular movies. Her research skills are fantastic and she is a fellow winner on the Ear Worthy podcast awards for 2024. Her website is here. Mark Steadman is a fantastic and knowledgeable digital producer who knows lots about the podcasting business. He will be launching Undo: How history's outliers got stuff done in January. You can learn more about him and it here.Details of the guests and shows featured in this end of year episode: • Jess Nevins and Julian Chambliss were guests on episode 10: Pulps, Comics and the Rise of Superheroes. • Mark Bould and Peter Conolly Smith were guests on episode 8: King Kong: The Origin of a Cinematic Titan.• Sonja Fritzsche and Noah Isenberg were guest in episode 5: Metropolis: The Most Influential Sci-Fi Film Ever*.• Thomas Doherty and Xavier Aldana Reyes were guests on episode 12: Mad Scientists: Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll & Boris Karloff.• Keith Williams and Ari Brin were guests on episode 14: Robert Duncan Milne: A Lost Pioneer of Science Fiction.• Jay Telotte and Marc Longenecker were guests on episode 15: The Thing from Another World: Howard Hawks & the Cold War.•  Scott Higgins and Phil Nichols were guests on episode 18: It Came From Outer Space: Bradbury, 3D & 1950s Teens• Thomas Doherty and Mathew Rule Jones were guests on episode 21: Them!

This is surprisingly difficult to get hold of although you can purchase a DVD from many outlets. In the US it is available on Apple TV and Max (previously HBO Max) as well as on Tubi. You can check the Just Watch website to see if it might be streaming in your region. I just wanted to add that the opening credits and music are just phenomenal in my opinion.  

Whilst researching the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers film serials of the 1930s I was delighted to find far too much information about the pulp and comic book origins of these heroes. So we are taking a detour to speak with people who really have their heads wrapped around this topic.For full shownotes for this episode without character limits you can visit here.We will be talking about Flash Gordon (and a little about Buck Rogers) in the next episode. Scroll down to get more information on where to watch the 1930s film serials.The ExpertsJulian Chambliss is a scholar and a professor at Michigan State University. He is the author of multiple books including Ages of Heroes, Eras of Men: Superheroes and the American Experience.Jess Nevins is an Author and research librarian who has annotated multiple comics and written the Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, The Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes and The Evolution of the Costumed Avenger: The 4,000-Year History of the Superhero.Chapters00:00 Intro to the show and guests02:14 The origins of pulp fiction04:14 The western frontier and the American hero06:23 Superheroes in the pulps and ancient civilization09:42 WW1 and Hugo Gernsback's Amazing Stories11:21 Buck Rogers, race and rapid change15:13 From pulp to comic strip: Buck Rogers and Tarzan15:39 The success of Flash Gordon 16:55 Racial politics of Flash Gordon19:16 The true first superhero20:38 Phantom's international popularity21:38 The Great Depression, superpowers and The New Deal25:35 The Jewish influence28:44 Superman as the good immigrant32:25 Women: from pulps to comics35:55 The rediscovery of black creators40:44 Moral panic, senate hearings and the Comics Code Authority48:34 The future of the heroNEXT EPISODE!Next episode we will be focusing on the Flash Gordon (and Buck Rogers) film serials of the 1930s.

3.04 Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This a weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people. Today, Jess Nevins joins me to discuss his Kickstarter, The Fury of the Nothmen! Heavily researched and options galore, you too can play the clans that terrorized Europe. We talk about other groovy things as well…like obtuse Silver Age Comic book super heroes and librarian stuff. I have a Patreon that I drop unedited recording into. But I haven't done that for a while… Need to get back on the ball?..or the stick?…or is it the habit? Not sure how this devolved into the garments on nuns, but here we are. It is late Friday night and I am writing this into and editing for a podcast that is dropping tomorrow. That, my friends, is a dreadful collision of high ambitions and procrastination. Time to load the ships. I can smell the plunder on the westerly winds. Sisters and Brothers…it is time to get rambling. ———————————————————————————————— Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/RPG_Ramblings ———————————————————————————————— Jess Nevins Twitter: @jessnevins Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/jessnevins Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1651697370/the-fury-of-the-northmen?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=jess%20nevins ———————————————————————————————— Jeff Jones Twitter: @I_Am_Jeffrey Itch.io: https://jeffrey-a-jones.itch.io DriveThru: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Jeffrey%20A%20Jones Intro and Outro Music: Jungle Juice by Wataboi from Pixabay.com/music Sound Effects: https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeffrey-jones6/message

The final chapter of my conversation with acclaimed literary historian JESS NEVINS. In part three, we talk about how the Pulps influence the pop culture of today, "ideasplosions," emotion over logic, and I tell an anecdote about Roger Corman.

Continuing my conversation about pulp history with acclaimed pop culture historian JESS NEVINS. In part two, we talk about Pulps around the world, sweat mags, the atomization of culture... and what killed the Pulps.

Acclaimed pop culture historian JESS NEVINS educates me about all things pulp... in a wide-ranging conversation that I'll be splitting into multiple episodes. Here we start off with the origins of the form, and the artificial gap between High Art and Low Art.

Geekorama is Produced by Superhero-Fiction.comhttps://www.superhero-fiction.com For this week’s episode of Geekorama, we’re talking about the Russian made superhero film, Guardians. Is it so bad it’s good? POP-CULTURE TRIVIAAugust 1940 Claire Voyant aka The Black WidowIntroduced in Mystic Comics #4 as "the strangest, most terrifying character in action picture magazines…” Her book features artwork by Harry Sahle. According to Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, "The Black Widow can kill with a touch and has other, Satan-derived, plot device powers. The wrongdoers she goes after are ordinary humans, although one group of them call themselves Murder, Unlimited and another is the Cult of the Black Widow Spiders." Her next appearance occurs 51 years later, in a flashback cameo in one panel of issue #1 (Jan. 1994) of the mini-series Marvels ("A Time of Marvels", written by Kurt Busiek with art by Alex Ross), and again eleven years later (Feb. 2005), also in a brief flashback, in Marvel Knights Spider-Man #9 ("The Last Stand", written by Mark Millar with art by Terry and Rachel Dodson).GEEK OUTSTrish - Blood and Ash by Deborah Wilde.Jeremy - I've been knee deep in photography research. Starting a side project and need to spend copious amounts of time looking at models. The good thing is I'm rediscovering my love for the European Mod movement in fashion. Who knew the 70's needed to make a come back? Deep Dive - So bad it’s good: GuardiansTrish - Unfortunately, it’s just bad. What I liked: some of the visuals (not the effects) were really compelling, the makeup effects on the big bad were very well done, and the heroes did have interesting power sets (except for the woman who just turns invisible...but only in water...ok). What I didn’t like: cheap effects aside (because I think they did the best they could with what little they had) the script SERIOUSLY hamstrung this film. Jeremy - How dare she? It's awesome! What I liked: I go into these movies with the bar already set low, so consider me impressed with the specific methods they utilized their budget. The effects weren't horrible (nor great) but they really emphasized the SFX around their abilities. It's the first time teleporting has been done this well (Sorry Nightcrawler) and this is the Invisible Woman that Fantastic Four deserved and never got. What I didn't like: The script! That was painful, and why were they doing what they were doing? Does anybody have motivation or is this movie the product of boredom? It's hard to tell for the majority of it....BUT POWERS!!!! QotW: What is your favorite so bad it’s good movie? 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

The phrase "Pulp Fiction" brings to mind Quentin Tarantino's movie of the same name. But real-life pulp fiction is much stranger, and more colorful, than you ever realized. We talk to pulp historian and author Jess Nevins about the weird and sometimes problematic history of the pulps.

As the 19th Century wound to a close, there was something in the air...or at least, people thought there soon would be. The idea of heavier-than-air flight and the potential military applications haunted SF decades before they became a reality; George Griffith's turn-of-the-century novel Angel of the Revolution imagined this technology falling into the hands of the good (?) guys and becoming the basis for a worldwide uprising in the midst of an apocalyptic war. The book also eerily foreshadowed an amazing number of real-world events that were still to come, including WWI and the Soviet revolution. In this episode we're joined once more by Jess Nevins to look at his novel, in which the Victorian era dreams uneasily of its own demise...Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

Of One Blood, by Pauline Hopkins, is a turn-of-the-century novel with all the fantastical genre trappings you could ask for: reincarnation, psychic projections, and a Biblical lost kingdom still thriving in the present. But this book is special: it's written by a black woman and deals specifically with the African-American experience.

There's an energy coming from the underground...it's the strange and wonderful power known as Vril, as documented in the book Vril: A Story of the Coming Race by the infamous Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Bulwer-Lytton's left huge mark on pop culture, and in this episode we sit down with guest Jess Nevins to see whether his reputation doesn't deserve a bit of rehabilitation...Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

Mars may be a lifeless rock in the real world, but it's long been teeming with life in fiction. Ever since astronomers claimed to have seen canals on Mars in the late 19th century, SF writers have been imagining exotic creatures, lost civilizations, and swashbuckling adventures on the red planet. One of the most notable and iconic of the martian sagas is A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs and its various sequels, which was one of the first pulp stories to combine swashbuckling fantasy with interplanetary SF. In this episode, we sit down with special guest star and pulpologist Jess Nevins to talk about Burroughs' tales and a general overview of fiction set on Mars.

We also chat about current comics include the works of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the new Moon Knight bok by Jeff Lemire and a number of artists, Vision and Batman, both written by Tom King, Scarlet Witch by James Robinson and various artists, and more.

Audio glitches fixed -apologies On this episode of Word Balloon, we begin another 2 part talk with writer Ed Brubaker. Ed answers some Word Balloon listeners questions, and previews the new arc of Incognito with artist Sean Phillips premireing next month from Icon. Ed talks about the pulp history articles in the back of each issue by Jess Nevins, and why he thinks at 3.50 the book is one of the better values on the comic book stands today.We also talk about Secret Avengers looking back at the first story arc, and the secret Life Of Max Fury issue, with former Iron Fist collaboators David Aja and Michael Lark. Plus lots of analysis of Ed's Captain America run, uncluding the current Steve Rogers Super Soldier mini series, and the upcoming Trial Of Captain America story. Also Ed reveals his personal feelings about event books, including his unique take on one of the classic 80's crossover tales. We conclude with a short talk with Jeremy Bastian creator of The Cursed Pirate Girl and his current kickstarter program.

Our third episode welcomes comics scholar and pulp/victoriana master Jess Nevins to the show to talk about the details in comics. Which really boils down to Jess talking about things like the Golden Age Black Widow, Six Gun Gorilla, and what it's like having Alan Moore as a friend.
