Podcast appearances and mentions of ron swallow

“The Greatest Thanksgiving Special” is Ed, Bill, and the returning Ron Swallow talking about pieces of pop culture we are thankful to have experienced at particular times in our lives. These are some of the art and the culture around said art that would form us into the weirdos you know and love. Ed talks Mack Bolan novels, Ron talks rollerblading and skate videos, while Bill reveals a past as a prominent purveyor of fan fiction in the early days of the internet. Thanks to all the people listening and to our Patrons. For you, we are eternally thankful.   

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys sit down with comedian Ron Swallow for a wild romp. We test out a PARTICULARLY disgusting energy drink made for crypto-bros and then we talk about Rudy Giuliani's new $30 coffee bags that he's hawking to fund his ever-mounting legal bills. Then we chat about some conservative Americans who've decided to move to the Republican paradise of Russia! Ron Swallow takes us on a tour of his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Bullet for My Valentine's "Your Betrayal" is our JAM OF THE WEEK!

Our dear friend from The Greatest podcast, Ron Swallow returns for another lesson in genre fiction. This time Ron shares with us the literary genre Bit Lit. For the uninformed, “Bit Lit” are urban fantasy series that involve a combination of werewolves, vampires, adventures, and sexiness. The volume of each might vary from series to series but with a combination like that, it's gotta be tough to have too bad of a time.

“The Greatest Origins” is our conversation about comics, movies, and novels' origins and backstories. Origins define most superheroes, like Spidey and Batman, etc. But then again mystery is often the coolest thing about certain characters and when you find out their definitive origin it ruins them…like Wolverine. We also discuss the origin story of everything from our podcast, to some of the filmmakers we were sold as though they were heroes themselves. It's philosophical in the least boring way. Enjoy and also buy Ron Swallow's Album “On The Wing Of A Dragon” avail June 17th on all music streamers. Follow us!

In this episode, Rivers is transported via magic sleigh from Alabama back to Disgraceland in Los Angeles for a HILARIOUS holiday chat with the hosts of "The Greatest Pod", Ed Greer and Ron Swallow! In the spirit of the holidays, the boys are reading some of the numerous Reddit posts of restaurant and retail workers sharing their nightmarish holiday experiences. We also run Sir Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" through a gauntlet of other bad Christmas songs to determine whether or not it's actually the worst Christmas song ever (spoiler: it's not).

In this episode, we assault Ed's childhood! That goes about as well as you'd expect. Buckle up those supercar seatbelts, we're taking KITT for a ride! Knight Rider is one of THOSE franchises -- an underachieving classic that Hollywood cannot let go of. It's always been cooler in concept than execution, and has never lived up to the love fans have for it. Yet somehow a new version is always in development. NBC's original series brought David Hasselhoff and William Daniels (Mr. Feeney himself!) to the popular consciousness while putting a bizarre sci-fi spin on the odd-couple police procedural. But after those first five hit seasons, Knight Industries collapsed through three spin-offs and a modern TV reboot. Is there enough juice left in the tank to reimagine a big-screen blockbuster? Or is KITT's OS just obsolete?! Or...maybe both? Only one way to find out: Reboot it, baby.

*REBOOT IT MERCH IS AVAILABLE NOW:* http://tee.pub/lic/L2Fboy63Wa4 Reboot It is back, and we're pitching for our lives! We're on a job-seeking tour of the only game left in Hollywood: Streaming services! We struck out at Marvel, so this week we go all the way to Pandora to pitch to none other than James Cameron! The Terminator franchise has been a rollercoaster of achievement and disappointment since its blockbuster debut in 1984. With one of the most successful and critically acclaimed sequels of all time in T2: Judgment Day, the sky(net) appeared to be the limit for this series. But after a parade of lackluster sequels and MULTIPLE failed reboots across both film AND TV, has this dystopian dynasty finally run out of steam? It's up to the Reboot It boys to spin their magic and get this franchise back on track! Hey Terminator, come with the Reboot Crew if you want to live!

Can the DC Universe exist without everyone's favorite Amazonian warrior? We say thee NAY! We're rebooting WONDER WOMAN into our version of the DCEU, on the road to our definitive take on Justice League! Never before has the Crew attempted to rewrite a franchise currently at its peak! How do we take a beloved character portrayed by a beloved actress in at least one beloved movie...And turn the whole concept on its head?! What's the best way to fit Diana Prince into our Rebooted version of the DCEU*?? Don your tiara, twirl your golden lariat, brush up on your Greek (and New Gods) mythology, and spin in place to transform with us into a fully rebooted Amazing Amazon! * You can find our Reboot It episodes for Green Lantern, Flash, Batman, and Superman on our YOUTUBE PAGE: https://www.youtube.com/c/REBOOTITSHOW BILLY BUSINESS: https://www.twitter.com/billyapatterson ED GREER: https://www.twitter.com/edgreerdestroys RON SWALLOW: https://www.twitter.com/dorkyswallow PRODUCER BILL: https://www.instagram.com/seebilldraw THE GREATEST POD PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheGreatestPod​​ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ron-swallow/support

We took on the Wars, now it's time to get our hands on the Trek! Star Trek: The Next Generation was a bold step forward for the Star Trek franchise in every sense of the word. From upgraded effects, sets, and (let's face it) acting ability, the Next Generation was indeed just that, creating a new generation of Star Trek fans. In 2009, JJ Abrams rebooted Star Trek for the big screen, bringing a modern sensibility to the cheesy 60's sci-fi classic. While we got three films in the "Kelvin Timeline" trilogy, the Next Generation version has yet to be realized on the big screen...until now! Can we bring the magic and excitement of the 2009 reboot to the Next Generation crew? Watch us boldly go where we have never gone (and maybe shouldn't go?) before!!

Reboot It Presents MOVIE MASHUP! The Rules are simple. We randomly select one Hollywood franchise and one genre, and then we have 30 minutes to try to make SOMETHING out of it. Will it work? Probably not. Will it be a the best damn 30 minutes of your day? Hell yeah. This week we take the time travel classic Back to the Future and spin it in a way that absolutely makes no sense at all.

In this episode, we must be dead men because we're telling some tales! How do we resuscitate this dying Disney franchise?! Pirates of the Caribbean was once the crown jewel of Disney's live-action universe, earning billions of dollars at the box office and sailing the high seas of popularity throughout the early 2000's. But today, cutlassed by diminishing returns, a meandering story, and the controversy surrounding its star Johnny Depp, the Pirates franchise has all but drowned. After FIVE trips to the Pirates well, is it even possible to find a take that can free this property from Davy Jones' Locker?! Or has the franchise built from a 12-minute theme park ride gasped its last breath? Time to set sail on the good ship Reboot It!

The votes are in, the choice is clear and the reboot is BONKERS ... Jurassic Park spent 4 years as the highest-grossing movie of all time, unseated only when Titanic cruised onto the scene. Steven Spielberg's masterpiece of man vs. nature was the perfect mash-up of sci-fi thriller and family adventure, and it reinvented special effects for the modern era. But Universal milked the same formula into irrelevance with 4 (soon to be 5, with the sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) sequels that never quite found something interesting to do with the human characters. Yes, we all love Alan Grant, Ellie Satler and Ian Malcolm...But is nostalgia the only way to give the dinosaurs an interesting would-be meal? This reboot says HELL NO. Strap in, folks.

F*** the Snyder Cut! This is how you do a team-up movie! The Re-DCEU (aka the Reboot It crew's version of DC's movies) culminates with the LIVE season finale of Reboot It tackling the Justice League! After a lackluster showing at the box office in 2017, are audiences ready for a new iteration of one of comics' most storied teams? We crafted individual DC reboots over the course of 3 seasons and NOW you get to see how we would present to you our version of the Justice League! (Spoiler alert: it kicks Whedon AND Snyder's ass!)

A look back at our first Viewer's Choice episode -- in which the Reboot Crew predicts the next ten years of Hollywood franchise-building. Mark our words! Jurassic Park meets Waterworld...A match made in blockbuster heaven! But NONE of us could have predicted it would happen when we let YOU, the viewers, choose this episode topic. We knew the Viewer's Choice vote would make for a wild ride, but it ended with us pitching the most radical, boundary-pushing reboot in the show's history. Come watch us chat about rebooting the studios' very notion of their franchises...PLUS we take your questions from the comments!

*REBOOT IT MERCH IS AVAILABLE NOW:* http://tee.pub/lic/L2Fboy63Wa4 Reboot It is back, and we're pitching for our lives! We're on a job-seeking tour of the only game left in Hollywood: Streaming services! First up? Our old pals at Marvel Studios... The X-Franchise has not only been run into the ground, it caught fire after diving straight through the Earth's crust. Saddled with a whopping THIRTEEN FILMS scattered across AT LEAST five continuities (Bryan Singer original, First Class nouveau, Logan, Deadpool, and New Mutants, if you're keeping score), this franchise has racked up a flop-to-hit ratio that would make any studio exec blush. They've adapted nearly every major villain and milked all the major storylines (Dark Phoenix was so nice they did it twice). Through it all, the diehard fans keep getting angrier and more bitter. Regardless, the world allegedly waits with bated breath for the debut of mutants in the MCU. We already opened the door with our Wolverine pitch, so Kevin Feige has agreed to hear us plan Disney+'s big kickoff to the world of the X-Men! X-Force? X-Factor? Deadpool?

WE NEED YOU IN THE COMMENTS: How far is too far when remixing a beloved-yet-problematic classic? Because the Crew battles to a stalemate over that very question. Are you Team Ron ... or Team Bill?! You've heard every criticism. Sparkly vampire skin, romanticizing emotional abuse, Trojan-horsing Mormon sexual mores. Twilight's sins range from the silly to the jaw-dropping. Forget all the whining about the Star Wars sequel trilogy or Avatar - Twilight is, without question, the most controversial franchise to ever earn a billion dollars. But earn a billion dollars it did, and spawn a slew of bona fide movie stars to boot, from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to Anna Kendrick and MacKenzie Foy. So when you reboot, exactly how much can you "fix" while still calling it Twilight? Four straight men tackle the most successful franchise of the 21st century made by, for and about women. What could possibly go wrong?

When this episode hits one hour, your brain will melt into the Speed Force. Trust us. The Flash is one of DC's most venerable franchises with its all-time thinnest story and character arc. The Ezra Miller movie is remixing the biggest story from the Grant Gustin show, which itself recycled the story of an animated feature adapted from a 2011 comic book. Need we say more? No one's thinking outside the box. All Flash media for the past decade has retold the same Flashpoint story because before Barry Allen ran to rebuild the multiverse, his only other notable feat was dying to save the multiverse. But don't sweat it. We're here to throw all of that away and show WB how it's f**king done. Welcome to Season 3.

The TMNT franchise has been a model of reliability for 35 years. Through 3 movie series, 5 TV shows, and countless comics, the Turtles' formula has barely changed. Splinter's wise, April's plucky, Shredder snarls, Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but rude, and Michelangelo is a party dude. This franchise has been distilled into a parody of itself. But when you're rebooting for teens and preteens, maybe the best you can hope to do is update the pop culture jokes. How much reinvention is too much? And what does the story of four mutant turtle brothers even mean anymore? We get lost in the weeds and commit absolute blasphemy as we attempt to overhaul one of the most enduring franchises in the history of entertainment. Cowabunga?

It's our first hundred-year-old franchise! And the Crew is ready to do justice to the legend. Zorro is one of the most adapted properties in the history of Hollywood, played by the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, and Guy Williams. He's the grandfather of the modern superhero and the inspiration for some of the greatest stories ever told! Too much? Too bad. Let's double down. The character's most recent cinematic kickoff, the Mask of Zorro starring Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, is arguably the best reboot Hollywood has ever made. And despite its first film being released in 1920, the franchise has never been more relevant than it is right now. A proletarian Latinx superhero for a dysfunctional gilded age, Zorro is woke, multi-cultural, and cool as hell. And, believe it or not, there's so much story left to tell. We're about the reboot the crap out of the Curse of Capistrano.

What better candidate for the cynical Disney remake treatment than Pixar's most commercially successful and critically reviled franchise? From a studio beloved for thoughtful stories with complex emotional lessons, this franchise revels in sports movie cliches, redneck humor and the minimum possible character growth. Moreover, its strange world raises bizarre questions that the movies have no desire to address. Does this kids' cartoon take place in an even more disturbing post-apocalyptic future than Wall-E or what? When there's an opportunity to upgrade children's animation with existential dread and grittily realistic CGI, you better believe we'll be there to reboot it.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, we'll finally make good on Universal Studio's inept promise to turn their classic monsters into a shared cinematic universe. Abbott and Costello helped transform the Universal Monsters into film's first multi-franchise continuity. The studio's subsequent reboot efforts have been a comedy of errors worthy of that classic duo. From attempts in the 90s to reproduce the success of Coppolla's auteur horror in Bram Stoker's Dracula, to the series of false starts in the 2000s with the likes of Benecio Del Toro's Wolfman and (franchise killer) Luke Evans' Dracula Untold, to the cynical SHIELD-izing of monster hunters with Tom Cruise's The Mummy, Universal has been heavy on splashy announcements and powerhouse casting -- and light on any quality filmmaking. All these stories are tales as old as time, so is there a way to find a fresh take at all? And if you do, how do you actually team up the monsters without feeling like a spoof? Gather round, boils, and ghouls, because the Crew is here to treat you with our Reboot tricks.

This might be our masterpiece. How do you build on 30 years of continuity, jack up the action to blockbuster levels, AND launch a brand new story for a new generation? You put the Reboot Crew to work, that's how. We deliver huge scale, unexpected twists, intense pathos, and epic fight scenes, while celebrating every version of the Power Rangers franchise. It's an exercise in boundary-pushing world-building. Whether you love Zeo, Turbo, Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers, Extra Jalapeño, or just the classic Mighty Morphin', it's all here, in ways you'd never expect. With pitch-perfect roles for Jason David Frank and Amy Jo Johnson to boot! The Rangers flopped twice on the big screen, have become a mobius strip of mythology, and never escaped the stigma of being formulaic, hacked-together kiddie fare - so we double down on the whole d*mn thing. Zordon lives!

It's the blockbuster 90s franchise that never sparked a fandom! Not superheroes, not action, not boundary-breaking...Just kinda wholesome and good? How do you tackle a reboot that NO ONE is asking for? And what trouble can we get into with a sci-fi/horror cinematic sampler platter for kids? One thing's for sure, bringing Rick Moranis out of retirement for a continuation of an already-milked story is hack (with apologies to Joe Johnston and Josh Gad). So we're starting from scratch, and Ed's bringing his darkest ideas. Embiggen your mind, it's time for a most unexpected reboot.

G.I. Joe is a beloved property drowning in bungled adaptations, patchwork characters, and cringe politics. The franchise has always looked good on paper (and in molded plastic) - spy-fi meets superheroes meets patriotism! But outside the classic Marvel Comics, Joe media always manages to discard its most interesting influences and embrace the most milquetoast. Plus, the Joes are fighting battles and enemies too uncomfortably close to real events for a freewheeling kids movie. How do you make it all work in a summer blockbuster? “Real American Hero” is a phrase that's lost all meaning. But don't worry, we're about to reboot it back to life. Fair warning, we lean into Beachhead, Snake Eyes, Ripcord, Mainframe, Lady Jaye, and Covergirl. If your favorite is one of the other 150 Joes, we apologize in advance, but there are places for many of them in our story.

It's the live season finale of Reboot It! We're tackling the first family of Marvel Comics, The Fantastic Four! Is this the most cursed property in Hollywood? After a slew of lackluster cartoons and 3 failures on the big screen (Roger Corman, 2005, 2015), will this 4th time truly be the charm?? Can we possibly hope to redeem not only Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, but Dr. Doom, Galactus, the Silver Surfer, and all the rich, powerful history of the Four in comics? And what's the best way to integrate everything into the MCU? Is there any right way to do this thing?! Watch us spin our tale LIVE as we wrap up season 2 in style!

This franchise set the bar for twenty-first-century blockbusters. Then, The Hobbit happened. The bloated sequel trilogy tried to shoehorn in themes and stories ignored by the originals (plus even more walking and that banging Misty Mountains song), and doubt was cast over the perfection of Middle-Earth. Peter Jackson's long journey ultimately shied away from the classism, xenophobia, and true nature of Sauron that would make it most relevant to today. Plus, a severe lack of Eagles scenes, gender-bending, and Tom Bombadil means, yeah...We gotta reboot the second holiest of all trilogies.

Ed Greer and Producer Bill go knock-down, drag-out over The Man of Tomorrow, The Last Son of Krypton, Zack Snyder's Lament, Jon Peters' White Whale. It's the oldest franchise in comics, and a story so torn between living up to its myth and straining to be relevant, it's almost impossible to tell. Fanboys call him unrelatable, the general public calls him old-fashioned, but everyone knows they don't want to watch him doubt himself or snap necks. You may think you don't want it, but yeah, we're gonna do it. We're actually going to reboot SUPERMAN.

Sonic and Pikachu paved the way. It's time for the most popular video game franchise of all time to get the film it deserves. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and Bowser may have shown up in the 1993 Hoskins/Leguizamo joint...But to say fans were unsatisfied would be an understatement. With one of the most unreal video game worlds imaginable, protagonists that walk a line between kitsch and stereotype, and superpowers that would make The Avengers groan, a fully faithful adaptation seems destined to fail. So yeah, of course, we're all-in on a fully faithful reboot. What'd you think we were gonna do, a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk body horror version or something?

Maybe cabin fever has finally set in. The crew melts down as we attempt to reinvent the most thematically ambitious franchise in cinema history. The wheels fall off, resentments build, and we lose ourselves in fits of rage, ego, and frustration. But as we explore how deep the A.I. rabbit hole goes, do we discover a mind-melting new take on the concept that launched a million stoned dorm-room debates? Or does our hubris finally push us too close to the sun? Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Lana Wachowski, and Warner Brothers are at work right now on a Matrix sequel. But we want to push past Neo, Trinity, Smith and simulation theory, for a whole new take on the story of rebellious humans versus artificial intelligence. No one is safe as we attempt a hard reboot with a series that already killed its own sacred cows. Prepare for the madness.

There are riffs aplenty as Ed and Ron try to dissect the phenomenon of comfort movies and TV. That stuff you put on in the background and/or watch again and again. Those shows and movies with fictional characters that seem like friends.  Ours is like a weird Rorschach test and after listening to this you'll know us better as we name some of our own shows and movies that are like a warm blanket on a cold eve. This wasn't meant to be a regular Greatest Pod but we thought we'd give you a glimpse into the shenanigans we get up to on the Patreon feed.

In this episode, we explore the links between wrasslin' and comic book culture as we discuss “Is Pro Wrestling The Greatest?” Our guest is the host of The Goods From The Woods, pro-wrestling aficionado, and commentator Rivers Langley. Like cartoons or comic books, nearly everyone has memories of seeing the superstars of pro wrestling, especially children of the '80s and '90s. What makes some people stay invested in certain mythic figures in spandex like Spider-Man and Batman while simultaneously thinking of wrestling as “for kids”? Pro wrestling combines our love of sports, theater, and soap opera into a branding machine with a pop culture allure that waxes and wanes but never truly dies. So if you smeeeeeeeelllllll what The Pod………………………..is cookin', you'll tune in for this one, jabronis!   Tweet at Rivers @RiversLangley and checkout his pod @TheGoodsPod  Leave us a 5-star review and follow us at: ED GREER: https://www.twitter.com/edgreerdestroys​ RON SWALLOW: https://www.twitter.com/dorkyswallow​ THE GREATEST POD PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheGreatestPod Watch REBOOT IT, our YouTube Show where we update your favorite franchises alongside Fandom Producer Billy Business here:  https://www.youtube.com/c/REBOOTITSHOW  

We present a pod that asks, “Is Stanley Kubrick The Greatest?” Producer Bill, Ed Greer, and Ron Swallow discuss the merits of one of the most influential film directors of all time. There's plenty of over-analysis of his films and his genius but in this conversation, we try to determine why his movies had such an effect on us in specific. Producer Bill is an especially big fan and thinks Kubrick may have directed the best movie in about 6 genres. Regardless, Kubrick is a rubric, in that the study of his films is almost de rigueur for anyone trying to talk about film in the 20th century. So does that make him the greatest?  Let's discuss.  king of vampires as a cultural icon and a metaphor for societal ills. Follow us!
