We're bringing back yet another MTAC Another World OSMinterview! Today, we've got our interview we did for MC Frontalot! Here's what MTAC had on their webpage about him: MC Frontalot (née Damian Hess) is the original mastermind of Nerdcore Hip-Hop and still its Final Boss. Front was born in San Francisco and grew up in Berkeley. He was tall and scrawny, had trouble breathing, and could not see well. A special teacher was called in to help him attain basic competence on the monkey bars, another to give him standardized tests meant for older children. Thusly, he was the most popular kid in his elementary school. Just kidding! He got pushed down a lot and called “nerd.” Did he maybe even deserve it? I mean, really – who strikes out at kickball? He spent the next twenty years or so trying to get over it. And kind of succeeded! Flash forward to 1999: the dotcom bubble is maximally inflated; nerds everywhere imagine themselves to be popular and/or hip. Damian is getting overpaid to code web pages, which leaves him free in the evenings to play with audio software. A longtime idolizer of rappers, he has been committing his own esoteric hip-hop compositions to four-track tape since high school, revealing them to nobody. But, suddenly! Multi-track desktop studios, cheap pro-grade recording hardware, skyrocketing bandwidth, semi-anonymous web publishing: these factors converge on Damian's rap hobby like a flock of winged monkeys. He posts an MC Frontalot web page, dubbing his output “Nerdcore Hip-Hop” because his audience is composed of several Star Wars figurines who live on his desk (and also random internet people who click on his MP3s by mistake). Somehow, it is a quarter-century later. Nerdcore has metastasized into an internet phenomenon and underground touring powerhouse, with dozens of well established live acts and hundreds of home-studio rhymers self-identifying within the subgenre. MC Frontalot, called alternately the movement's godfather or grandfather (thanks, kids), leads the charge, performing for thousands around the country and at prominent geek gatherings such as Comic-Con, DEF CON, the Penny Arcade Expo, Super MAGFest, and BlizzCon. He's been featured in The New York Times, Spin, Wired, XXL, Newsweek, CNN, Blender, XLR8R, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, The London Daily Telegraph, NPR, G4TV, Esquire, Playboy, CMJ, The Guardian (UK), The Wall Street Journal, and scores of city papers nationally and internationally. He has released seven studio albums, Nerdcore Rising (Sept 2005), Secrets From The Future (Apr 2007), Final Boss (Nov 2008), Zero Day (Apr 2010), Solved (Aug 2011), Question Bedtime (Aug 2014), and Net Split, or the Fathomless Heartbreak of Online Itself (March 2019). The documentary feature, Nerdcore Rising: The Movie, which focuses on Front's live band and exposes the the Nerdcore phenomenon in general, debuted at the South By Southwest Film Festival in 2008. Front lives in Berkeley, CA, and still spends most of his time rapping into a computer. https://mtac.net/guests/mc-frontalot OSMnotes We want to thank MC Frontalot and once again for taking the time to chat with us!

One batch file flatlined an entire school district's network. That was 1994, in a town so small you could drive fifteen minutes and see nothing but the curvature of the earth. By sixteen he was building one of Wyoming's first ISPs, and by 1996 he had already founded a Red Team. Then came twenty three years as a DEF CON goon, followed by an offensive security practice that scaled to 132 pen testers and nearly forty million dollars a year. He has breached security inside Ferrari dealerships, biolabs, and financial trading floors. If it had a lock, a network, a password, or a perimeter, Pyr0 found a way through it. Now he lives off grid in the mountains of Northern Colorado, running ham radio on solar, raising chickens, and still pulling sixty hour weeks breaking into things that were never supposed to be breakable. And this year, he's building something new. A conference on the beach at Carolina Beach, NC that is dedicated to preserving the stories and the history of hacking before they're lost to time.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction and Background09:44 Life Off-Grid: The Journey19:10 Introducing naclcon: A Community-Driven Conference26:55 Conference Planning and Logistics32:10 Badge Life and Unique Experiences37:03 Celebrating Hacker Culture and History39:04 Organizational Challenges and Insights42:00 Creating a Unique Conference Experience47:12 The Vision for a Cybersecurity BarLINKS[NaClCon Official Website] – https://naclcon.com Main website for NaClCon where users can register, book accommodations, and access full event details.[NaC Con Contact Email] – mailto:info@naclcon.com Official support email for inquiries about the conference, including registration and partnerships.[Pyr0 (Luke McOmie) Email] – mailto:pyr0303@gmail.com Direct contact for sponsorships, collaborations, and communication with the event organizer.[Fat Pelican – Carolina Beach] – https://fatpelican.com – Iconic dive bar on the Carolina Beach boardwalk highlighted as a must-visit during NaClCon.[Red Helm] – https://redhelm.com – Pyr0's company where he serves as VP of Offensive Security.[DEFCON] – https://defcon.org – The world's largest hacking conference where Pyr0 spent 23 years as a senior goon and founded SkyTalks.[SkyTalks at DEFCON] – https://skytalks.info – The off-the-record talk track at DEFCON founded by Pyr0.[Dual Core] – https://dualcoremusic.com – Nerdcore hip-hop artist performing live at NaClCon's Concert at Sea.

Send a textThe moment you decide to end something beloved is the moment your standards get loud. We talk with author-engineer-artist Steve Sxak about closing the Marston House Cipher after 15 years of free, culture-first sessions—and why a final-season victory lap and documentary are the right way to honor it. The reasons are honest: parenthood, touring, writing, and an unwillingness to do a half-speed version of a pillar that helped define Philly's underground hip-hop.From there we dive into the shifting DNA of battle rap. Steve's watched the scene evolve from off-the-top, on-beat warfare to intricate, months-in-the-making a cappella performances. We break down the pros and cons of both, the real boundaries—words are open, hands are not—and the intangible skills that separate a punchline from a moment: timing, breath, and crowd control. Philly is the backdrop for it all—late nights, tight roads, and tighter communities that push you to grow or get left.Creation doesn't stop at the booth. Steve's touring with The Heroes League into SXSW's Nerdcore Days, carrying a mobile studio to capture spontaneous collabs. He's dropping a project every month across hip-hop, R&B, folk, and punk, plus a hard-knock record with Amsterdam's Skinny Bones the Godfather that's taking him to Europe and beyond. We also unpack the surprise hit of his YA novel, Invasion Of The Punk Rockers Who Drink Blood, how a joke title became a serious story about belonging and real-world monsters, and what it took to bring it to life.Underneath the accolades is a working parent's blueprint: homeschooling for flexibility and focus, kids in the room learning engineering and rhythm, and a studio practice that values preparation over posturing. If you've ever wrestled with when to close a chapter, how to protect your standards, or how to build a creative life that still makes room for Nerf wars and bedtime, this conversation lands.

November is upon us, and as the horror community works its way through a time of Post-Halloween Depression, we look toward the holiday season, and toward holiday traditions. In Episode 137, the Horror Dads sit down for a feast of horror nostalgia in this very special episode, welcoming actor and musician Ryan Francis — known to fans of cult cinema as Darren, the lovable nerd from the 2008 holiday slasher classic Thankskilling. Let the endless one-liners begin. In this conversation, Ryan brings us behind the scenes of one of the wildest, weirdest, and most joyously absurd indie horror films that we have all come to know and love. Managing killer puppets and no-budget chaos to unexpected fan devotion, we dive into how Thankskilling became a staple of the seasonal horror lineup. We also get a glimpse into why Darren remains one of the most beloved characters in the film's offbeat cast.Ryan shares stories from the set, reflections on low-budget ingenuity, how the film found its second life as a cult hit, and what it's like to play the “nerd who just wants friends".We also talk to Ryan about his current creative focus: Huge Euge, his high-energy, Nerdcore project.

Send us a textIn time where every person on the internet has access to AI on any platform or interface, the Gents take the time to reflect on the generative images people are creating through inspiration of Studio Ghibli animation (1:15). Where it is all good fun, they stress the message that founder of the studio Hayao Miyazaki warned potential artists that this will destroy the foundations of making art. In recent events, there has been an over surplus of nerd news, which is perfect timing for the Gents to deliver the nerdcore show for April. EstoBro evaluated the latest from Nintendo from their Direct showcase they had a week ago (15:40), as TV opens up questions on what will take place for their Switch 2 announcements this week. There was even additional news on how Nintendo will deliver news to their fans, even with the nonchalant announcement for targeted release date for the Super Mario Bros. movie sequel and a live action Legend of Zelda film. With multiple media outlets to deliver video game news, it is with great pleasure that the EstoBro TV Podcast announces the return of GameInformer magazine (28:05). After a brief hiatus from last year, the major video game news outlet is set to make it's return to delivering quality video game news for gamers. The Gents are more than thrilled to see what is to come from GameInformer as a whole, and the endless possibilities it has to deliver quality video game headlines. Pivoting to the latest in the MCU news, the Gents recap the insanity of the cast teasing of Avengers: Doomsday (37:05). The pair debate over past Marvel alumni that were not featured in the series of clips, but they do hold out optimism on what is to come after releases of titles that set to release this year. They also comment on the reveal of Spider-Man films with release dates set for Tom Holland to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the final installment of the Spider-Verse trilogy. Transitioning from the focus on Marvel, the Gents are truly excited about season two of Marvel Rivals rolling out this month (55:30). They break down the reveals of Blade, Ultron, and Emma Frost as the potential characters that will be playable in the multiplayer hero shooter game. A hefty nerdcore episode indeed, courtesy of the EstoBro TV Podcast. Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

Send us a textImagine having interviews with a potential top football player in the upcoming NFL Draft, and the potential future NFL star will only entertain the interview if the professional team suiting him by playing a strategic board game (1:20). That is what EstoBro and TV discovered in a slandering meme over Shedeur Sanders being courted by NFL teams in strategic parody. The opening of the show focusing on gaming presents the episode that focuses on nerdcore, and EstoBro is already stating claim of the first video game title as a favorite to win Game of the Year. Hazelight Studios' latest title Split Fiction is a multiplayer co-op game that released at the start of March, and it is everything the fans and critics have expected from a video game (15:30). A follow up title to GotY winner It Takes Two, Hazelight Studios has delivered once again with an amazing action-packed adventure game. Continuing the focus on video games, the Gents pay their tardy homage to Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, which just finished celebrating their 25th anniversary (27:40). The discussion starts with the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection being released at the end of February, which features a mass collection of vintage handheld video game titles exploring the classic elements of Yu-Gi-Oh. EstoBro has some choice words for this latest title, before TV gives the IP its flowers on how the anime carried the franchise even further. As the pair turn their attention to anime (39:40), EstoBro gives TV kudos for introducing him to Sakamoto Days and the ongoing series Solo Leveling. There cannot be a nerdcore episode without talking about comics and the latest installment of the MCU (56:10), as the Gents put a spotlight on Daredevil: Born Again debuting on Disney+. The excitement of Matt Murdock and Kingpin returning to the fold has the Gents wondering if either character will be featured in the hot game Marvel Rivals? All of these topics focused on the latest installment of the EstoBro TV Podcast!If you are interested in joining the official EstoBro TV Podcast March Madness bracket challenge, share this episode with a friend and tag the show in one of their listed social media pages listed in the show's description.Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

Send us a textThe episode recorded the day after the Super Bowl, the Gents give their feedback at one of the most lukewarm football games ever witnessed (2:05). The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs, but the game was severely one-sided to the winning team. The halftime performance by Kendrick Lamar broke records in viewership with one of the best interpretations of his work, especially after his beef with Drake was internationally televised for all to see. Post the cold open, EstoBro gives Sony the business for having their servers down over the weekend during a critical online playing time for gamers (17:15). He hopes that there is some incentive for this breakdown, and is anticipating a great showcase for their PlayStation State of Play that takes place during the week. Since the podcast's latest obsession is Marvel Rivals, the attention of the latest slough of MCU films are on the horizon with Captain America: Brave New World, The Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four: First Steps are the films that separate the transition period from Phase 5 to Phase 6 (34:30).

In the 1950s, an article about the popularity of folk music among science fiction fans had a typo where “folk” was written as “filk.” From then on, filk music became a staple at grassroots sci-fi conventions. Filkers would either write parody lyrics to existing folk songs, or they'd invent entirely new speculative worlds in 3-4 minute songs. Filk has evolved beyond just being folk. It's gone electric and embraced other genres of music. But sci-fi fantasy fandom has changed a lot as well. Does filk still have a place in a more corporate fantasy world? Can it survive the competition from Nerdcore or social media? Can it transition from the boomer generation that started it? I talk with folklorists Sally and Barry Childs-Helton of the group Wild Mercy, Rand and Erin Bellavia of the group Via Bella, and Eric and Jen Distad of the group The Faithful Sidekicks about the past, present and future of filk.
