ON THE NEXT CANDI & COMPANY! This month marks the beginning of Black History Month. Two men who are activists, title holders, and leaders in their communities will be our very special guests. Please, join us as we welcome Trell Walters and John-John. JOHN-JOHN: John-John is a Puerto Rican / Sicilian native New Yorker. He is Mr. RockBear 2015, becoming the first bear titleholder representing Rockbar NYC located on Christopher Street, in the West Village of New York.

As part of New York Comic Con's official Super Week schedule of events, the Bears convened at Rockbar NYC on October 8th, 2014 for their very first live podcast recording! And we have the audio for the event for you! Join us as the three Bear Boys Billy Z, Justin and Bryan welcome special guests Jamal Igle (Molly Danger/Supergirl/IDW's Kiss) and Yale Stewart (JL8/Amazing Adventures of Superman) who stop by to discuss their work. Then Greg Boas (producer of such films as Drew: The Man Behind the Poster and Sexina) and the co-hosts discuss their favorite and least favorite comic book movies. Our old friend (and birthday boy) Alan "New Mutant" White tells us of his Power Principle trade paperback and it turns out he isn't the only birthday boy in attendance! A couple of words about the show - Bill apologizes in advance for the number of times you will have to turn down the volume when he is on the mic; fighting voice loss led to WAAAY over compensating on his part. Also there were other segments to the live show (a Silver Age portion with our friend Bob Joy and a trivia contest) which do not appear on this episode due to issues with the soundboard recording. We hope to bring you these segments on later shows once we properly address the audio problems. Despite these unfortunate omissions, we hope you will still enjoy what for us was an unforgettable night!
