Podcasts about Jhonen Vasquez

André continues the momentum of great conversations in 2025 with a guest whose writing is deeply inspired by many of the independent comics that shaped the young minds of those looking for something dark and different from their funny books.Z.M.Thomas is a Native American comic book writer and creator from Prior Lake, Minnesota. He created Trepidation Comics in the summer of 2004 and has worked on several graphic novels including, Abe the Aborted Fetus, The Bible 2, Joseph Smith in Space, Echoes of Dawn, the 11th Hour, and Dead Reckoning.Z.M. discusses wrestlers from Minnesota, discovering the work of Jhonen Vasquez, having Bibles thrown at him at conventions and how his also famous wife and his Venn diagrams overlap in the perfect way! Support the show

Kyle and JJ take a trip down memory lane to discuss Invader Zim, the cult-favorite animated series by Jhonen Vasquez that aired on Nickelodeon from 2001 to 2002. The show follows Zim, an overzealous alien from the militaristic planet Irk, assigned to conquer Earth. Disguised as a human child, Zim enrolls in a local school to blend in and devise his plans for world domination. Known for its dark humor and unsettling themes, Invader Zim often pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable on a children's network. The show's unique style and twisted humor earned it a devoted fan base. 

 This episode isn't sponsored by Hot Topic, but it might as well be.  Brilliant cartoonist Julia Gfrörer (Laid Waste, Black is the Color) comes by to talk about a formative run for her, Jhonon Vasquez's tremendously popular goth comic, Squee.  If you don't like the episodes where I talk about how crappy I think the run is, you should probably skip this one.  Otherwise, put on your Jnco pants, crank up some Rasputina, and indulge in this gleefully sullen episode.  Here's a link to The Runs Comics Podcast on iTunes.  And here's the link to the show on Spotify.

This week we watched a strange possible one off Marvel/Fox movie, The New Mutants.  This was a darker look at some characters in the X-Men universe, that we found quite enjoyable.  Please to enjoy.   For anyone interested in the fantastic Jhonen Vasquez shirts, check them out here. https://zogicorp.threadless.com/ 

In this episode, we interview Jhonen Vasquez! Jhonen is the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Invader Zim and frequently streams Drawing Hurts. We discuss his path to working in animation as well as his influences.

Can you even call it a return if the character didn't appear in previous films? For a film series based on found footage, this one sure does rely on things having already happened offscreen. I am truly puzzled by some of the choices this "retooling" did. Listen to some thoughts from me and Greg on the Paranormal Activity franchise as a whole and the truly surprising plot points of this new one, Paranormal Activity 7: Casper Returns. (More like Paranormie Activity, am I right? That reminds me: ParaNorman is worth watching, so check that out.) 7:30 - Jhonen Vasquez explains why you're watching Zim wrong. 8:20 - David Lynch on iPhone 9:45 - Family Guy - How David Lynch Stole Christmas! 15:30 - The Paranormal Activity wiki still needs to add the events of the seventh film and Tokyo Night to this (or maybe they're not sure how to given how messy the timeline is now), but here's the series timeline. 21:00 - We recorded this on April 13. Also, this is the 13th episode of this season. Number 13 of season 1 was on Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which also had a mention of Casper. Coincidence? Yes. 24:35 - Check out The Boss Baby: Family Business episode. 31:36 - Saying "OP" here again. 43:00 - Come to think of it, maybe any of the alternate endings of previous films can be canon because of time travel? I don't know. I give up.

Last episode of season two! We discuss Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Rob shares stories that only Rob could tell while amped up on Steve's secret coffee recipe. Steve has had enough of being the only one called out for interrupting. Shawn loses his train of thought a lot. Clearly the best work we've ever done.

In the first Speech Bubble podcast episode during the COVID_19 Pandemic, (complete with social distancing essentials like Zoom) Becka Kinzie joins our show. Becka is directly connected to our last guest Chip Zdarsky and his friend, previous Speech Bubble guest Kagan McLeod, since she was the colour flatter on Kaptara.Becka explains what a colour flatter does on this podcast, but that's not her only gig. She hails from Kitchener-Waterloo where she shepherds the web comic turned graphic novel Gehenna. The first, of what she reveals on this episode is a planned series of Gehenna comics, is called Death Valley. Think Scooby Do and the mystery gang with actual horror and violence thrown in. (at least, that's how Becka describes it) Her fascination with, and love of, horror comes from being raised in a conservative household and not being able to watch anything that was deemed too scary or too violent and then going hog wild on that stuff in her adulthood. In her teens, she was heavily influenced by things like Lenore: The Cute Little Dead Girl by Roman Dirge and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez and those influences definitely seeped into her work, along with a splash of anime, manga and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.Along with talking about Gehenna: Death Valley, Becka gives us a sneak preview of her upcoming project co-written with Speech Bubble “almost” guest Bob Salley. It's called The Beholden and will be published by Source Point Press, an independent publisher out of Detroit, Michigan.
