Was Japan ahead of the curve in terms of adapting manga to anime? What is a good way to get started in manga? Are there superheroes in manga? Is Scott Pilgrim manga? What makes something manga? Does it have to be Japanese or is it a style of art or something else? What do the Koreans call manga? What is the number one reason why manga and anime are so intimidating? Why are most graphic novels good? What is Locke and Key? Should you read the comics before you watch the Netflix show? Why was the Ghost Rider movie so bad?

**BEST OF 2019**My guest today is Abbi Jacobson. Abbi is a co-creator, writer, director, executive producer and star of the critically-acclaimed Comedy Central show Broad City, with Ilana Glazer. And that’s how I first became familiar with her work. I am a hard core fan of Broad City and would go so far to say I think it’s the funniest show on TV right now (although it recently wrapped it’s fifth and final season). Seriously, if you have not watched Broad City or have no idea what I am talking about check it out.Aside from Broad City, Abbi has done a stack of things ranging from voicing the character “Bean” in Netflix’s series Disenchantment by Matt Groenig, hosting the podcast A Piece of Work with WNYC and MoMA, in which she discusses modern and contemporary art.Oh and she has also written and illustrated a stack of NYT best-selling books, ranging from, I Might Regret This (a memoir style collection of essays), her illustrated book, Carry This Book, and two coloring books called: Color This Book: New York City and Color This Book: San Francisco.We cover:Her strategies for keeping herself accountable and meeting deadlinesAbbi’s form of productive procrastinationHow Abbi tricks herself into getting work doneAbbi’s strategies for overcoming writer’s blockAbbi’s preference for going analogue rather than digitalHow getting a dog has helped Abbi get out of her headAbbi’s love-hate relationship with social mediaWhy Abbi still transitions in and out of Imposter SyndromeWhy Abbi and Ilana would shake hands before filming big scenes for Broad CityHow Abbi manages her nerves before big events and momentsFind out more about Abbi via her books (I Might Regret This, Carry This Book, Colour This Book), watch her shows (Broad City, Disenchantment), listen to her podcast A Piece of Work, and you can follow Abbi on Instagram.Visit https://www.amanthaimber.com/podcast for full show notes from all episodes.Get in touch at amantha@inventium.com.auIf you are looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a short monthly newsletter that contains three cool things that I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.

We watch S03E20: Colonel Homer! Country music ingenue Lurline Lumpkin almost steals Homer, Claire can't get over Homer spending the family's life savings, Bok regrets saying Homer has a pussy, both discuss the first grown up movies they saw with their first boyfriends.

Joe Gruter's isn't listening. Only citizens can vote. Villagers for Trump in need of tech support. Miami has approximately 17% of its available housing sitting vacant as the working class are increasingly priced out of the city they support through their labor. And Jeffery Epstein, a man who is a registered sex offender in the state of Florida and New York, has attended numerous gatherings with Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, has the names of such upstanding citizens as Phillip Levine in his "black book" and who is also apparently linked to Matt Groenig, is dead. Now, let's talk about the cool Democratic primary. Oh yes. There was a masked orgy in Deltona and someone stole a gun. Intro- Florida Boy by Rick Ross Outro- 20 Size by Mogwai @chopkings

Greetings, PROGRAMS!   The greatest dystopia is when the story ends with a brighter hope for the future.  Comic Con always has some exciting things to enjoy now and in the future.  This year, one of the first panels celebrated ten years of The Clone Wars with a stunning announcement: The Clone Wars will return with promises of a fitting conclusion to this Emmy award-winning animated series.   In the NEWS Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Shazam, Godzilla, and Aquaman have exciting trailers to get everyone hyped for the movies.  Matt Groenig and Neil deGrasse Tyson fans are promised with the introduction of Disenchanted and the return of Cosmos.  And in a stunning move that has had a positive effect on Star Wars fandom, Lucasfilm announced the return of The Clone Wars with 12 new episodes to air on the upcoming Disney streaming service.   The Clone Wars JediShua and shazbazzar revisit The Clone Wars, describing their affection for the series as well as giving reasons for anyone who missed out on the first 6 seasons to go back NOW and catch some of the best Star Wars ever on Netflix (so Disney can know how valuable great storytelling can be for the company).  From character development to amazing revelations about the Force to the story behind that cool reveal at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, more than 40 hours of Star Wars content is currently at the fingertips of anyone with access to Netflix.   Disappearing Dystopia As the summer of dystopia dwindles to its inevitable close and the sunrise of school lingers just beyond the horizon, the ‘Dads take a final look at some notable, retrotastic, dystopian movies, shows, books, and radio dramas.  The Running Man, Total Recall, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Ice Pirates, V, 12 Monkeys, and Max Headroom all find their home in the annals of dystopian fun.   Feedback Chris the Arvadinian and Andy Lindemann love Herculoids.  Shane in Grand Rapids shows us Karate Kid action figures.  Kendall chimes in with a Ready Player One video and a cool retro Kickstarter from Matt Kindt.  JediHolmes provides another cool video — a 2112 motion comic from Rush’s website.  And the Spider-Pan from Neverland ices the dystopian cake with a high school class on the various types of futures from dystopias to negative utopias and the differences between the two.   Thanks for tuning in to TechnoRetro Dads, EarBuds!  Don’t forget to rate and review TechnoRetro Dads on iTunes.  Then share with others on social media, and join us on Discord for discussions about toys, cereal, games, movies and/or shows from the ‘70s and ‘80s.  While you’re at it, give the ‘Dads your feedback via voice mail at (209) 878-7323 or sending us a message or mp3 via electronic-M to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com.   Share and enjoy.

Animator and director, Bill Plympton (Hair High, The Tune) , has gone his own way. His absurdist work has earned him Oscar nominations (The Cow Who Wanted to Be a Hamburger) and such fans as Matt Groenig and Kanye West. His new feature, Idiots and Angels, is both spiritual and silly.
