A presentation of The PAPER STREET Podcast, 'LATE TO THE PARTY' is a recurring program that brings filmmakers, friends, and entertainment industry pros on to discuss one of their major movie blind spots.  The guest chats with hosts Shawn Talley and Cameron Burns before watching the film, then reconvenes with them after having seen it to all share their thoughts on the movie and much more!​ This go-round, John Gholson — an actor, writer, cartoonist, comedian, and more, who you may have seen in films including ZERO CHARISMA, and Paper Street's own BLOOD RELATIVES — was late to the party on TOMBSTONE, but we're glad he made it!  The gents get into the popular western's endlessly recognizable cast, its historical accuracy, the conflicting behind-the-scenes drama of the production, and of course, the memorable performance by Val Kilmer, whose recent passing pushed this episode to the front of the line.  If you've seen the 1993 film TOMBSTONE, check out this tangent-filled conversation.  And if you haven't, you're late to the party, but that's okay; we'll still be here when you get to it!

One of the briefest and strangest sublabels in Full Moon's history, Filmonsters was trying to capitalize on a very specific niche, namely the success of the GOOSEBUMPS TV series and it's subsequent VHS spin-offs. These two family-friendly riffs on classic Universal Monsters were intended to be part of a longer series, but petered out after only two simultaneously-released entries.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. ARE YOU READY TO PODCAAAAAAST? Well, good, because Patrick and Julian are joined by JD and fan favorite John Gholson to talk about some rasslin'. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you aren't a wrestling fan this episode of Nerds Without Pants just might help you understand why some of us are. We open with some brief talk about how we got into this silly show, but the first segment is pretty much dedicated to Wrestlemania XXX, which everyone agrees was a pretty fantastic event. Hear about Stone Cold Steve Austin's problems with Trader Joe's. Decide for yourself if Antonio Cesaro is a human or a Super Saiyan. Find out the shocking truth about what the Undertaker does when he's not in the ring! We wrap up with some discussion on wrestling video games because, hey, we're a video game podcast! John has a soft spot for WWF No Mercy, Julian defends WWF Attitude, and JD has fun with his create a wrestler modes. Patrick is too much of a poet to get down and dirty in the squared circle, but he's had his moments with wrestling, as well. We hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget that you can purchase Zero Charisma, a film featuring the one and only Mr. Gholson, on DVD now. (Seriously, go and buy that. It's really good!) FEATURED MUSIC: Whatever (Chris Benoit) Live in Fear (Bray Wyatt) Rest in Peace (The Undertaker) Unstable (The Ultimate Warrior)

Well, we're a bit late thanks to technical difficulties and busy schedules, but the Nerds Without Pants are back with another special format. Once again there is no time for the media we've been consuming, as we are joined by fan favorite John Gholson to talk all things comic books. We begin by talking about the actual printed editions themselves. Everyone has their tale to tell about how they caught the comic book bug, with the exception of Angelo who explains how comics were just never his bag. We talk about first issues, traumatic content, the healing powers of comic books, and more before giving Angelo (and you listeners) a few recommendations. In the second half of the show, we talk about some of the best and worst games that are based on comic books. We take things by time periods: The Golden Age (1977-1994), The Silver Age (1995-2004) and The Modern Age (2005-2013). John has a triumphant story about The Silver Surver for NES, Julian waxes nostalgic for the arcade brawlers, Angelo has a little bit of trivia about Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage, and Patrick has a crush on Oracle. Next time, it's all Consumption Junction and plenty of PS4 talk. We hope you enjoy, and give us comic book suggestions in the comments! FEATURED MUSIC: Hans Zimmer- Aggressive Expansion (The Dark Knight) Sparks- This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us (Kick Ass) Alan Silvestri- The Avengers (The Avengers)

Hi there. We're all nerds and geeks here, right? We're passionate about our hobbies, but why does that passion so often turn to rage and complaining? Can't we all just have fun and enjoy each other's thoughts and company? Well, this week on Nerds Without Pants we're joined by a couple excellent guests to talk about just that. Enjoy the beautiful voices and even-handed opinions of Erika Szabo and John Gholson! We kick things off with introductions. Erika is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the realm of games and tech writing. John has started a new comics blog, acted in a movie, and been on VH1 since last we heard from him. After that we move into Consumption Junction. We talk about Iron Man 3, comic book back issues, Fire Emblem, anime, and the proper language needed when reviewing vibrators. Yes, you read that right. Then, we go deep on the echo chamber of nerd rage that can be found on the internet. Sexism comes up a lot, as it's been a hot button issue in the games sector recently. From the Dragon's Crown art kerfluffle to Iron Man 3 ruining people's lives, the crew tries to preach a message of tolerance and positivity. Simply put, why so serious, gamers? This is a very different episode of Nerds Without Pants, and you're really in for a treat. Let us know your feelings on nerd rage in the comments below. Also, give some love to Erika, who we would really like to have back on the show very soon. Possibly forever. And ever. And ever.

We get deep into recent films as well, such as Argo and Seven Psycopaths, along with Rob’s recent trip to the Hamptons International Film Festival. We close out this episode talking about movies based on video games. Yeah, they all kind of suck, but there’s some fun to be had, as well. Enjoy Rob and John as they sit as polar opposites on nearly every movie! Thrill to Rob condemning Patrick and Julian’s favorite gaming flicks!

Various technical difficulties, internet ghosts, and Rob operating at 40% capacity can’t stop the Tri-Force crew from making their appointed podcast rounds. This week, we are joined by a very special guest—John Gholson from movies.com! He joins the rest of the crew for a veritable smorgasbord of sumptuous geekery. We also answer your questions, talk about what we’ve been playing, get into some movie discussion, and throw some comic book love your way. Rob kicks off the main topic of the show as we chat about all things digital. How does digital distribution affect game collectors and archivers? What happens to your digital purchases when their format is no longer supported? We also look at the benefits of going digital, especially when it comes to older games getting new releases and indie developers getting their games seen and played. Rob was running on fumes, but through the magic of technology and "special" medicine we brought him back. He sounds like he’s operating at 67% capacity! And if you didn’t hear a lot of Patrick this week it’s only because he was playing Diablo 3 the whole time. Probably. Oh, and if you want to enjoy more entertaining anecdotes from John, follow him on Twitter @gholson. He left you this special gift, sketched during the podcast:   Featured Music: Daft Punk-The Grid Within Temptation-Shot in the Dark
