Podcasts about Silver age

It's another fully regrettable episode.  Wait, who writes this stuff??  It's actually a full and complete episode made entirely of Jay's Regrettable Segments, where he pulls a semi-obscure (depending on who's listening) superhero from the archives of Jon Morris's book, The League of Regrettable Superheroes, then tells the story after a brief “brought to you by” ad from Art the Announcer Guy.  Said (or sad) superheroes are then rated as Regrettable, Redeemable, or Not Regrettable (super original, right?)   In this segment of segments, The Silver Age closes out with Spyman, then the heroes enter the Bronze and/or Modern Age, depending on how you define it, with Adam-X the X-treme, Holo-Man, and The Outsiders (probably not the ones you're thinking about.)  And like the Super Bowl, even if the heroes are regrettable, this one's worth listening to just for the ads.  

We are back at HeroesCon for this episode where I met the owner of Time Tunnel Comics from nearby Hickory, NC, Jacob Edwards. Jacob had a booth at the show and had some treasury sized comics I was interested in. We chatted a while and he was gracious enough to agree to an interview after the floor at the con closed. Time Tunnel Comics has been around 24 years and has been owned by Jacob since 2018. Jacob has a unique story to tell. Not comics related, per se… but a very powerful a story, nonetheless. Then join Mike and comics pro, fellow podcaster, and pal, Andrew Malin, as they discuss two cool Superman vs. Flash races from the Silver Age, collected in the Treasury-sized comic featured in this episode. Time Tunnel Comics is found at 265 2nd Ave SE, Hickory, NC 28602. Follow the shop on Facebook and Instagram, and at their website https://www.timetunnelcomics.com/! Find Andrew on the Nerd Dome podcast and VelleityStudios.com where you can find lots of cool stuff! A big thanks to Jacob for his amazing story and great book recommendation, and thanks to Andrew for joining.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoWhat do you get when you take a police procedural, mix it with science fiction and super-heroes, throw in social and political overtones that reflect modern society--and--call it an origin story? You get one guess--and it has nothing to do with a dead planet named Krypton. Give up? Well, the answer is Timothy Truman's three issuemasterpiece--HAWKWORLD.    Join you hosts Keith and Joe for another installment of "Thinking Out of the Longbox With Keith" as the boys strap on their Nth metal wings and fly into an adventure of dynamic discovery of one of DC's seminal characters--Hawkman. The later half of the decade of the 1980's saw many DC icons reimagined for a modern age as the Crisis on Infinite Earths opened the door to new, fresh version of Superman, Wonder Woman, The Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, and the "wingedwonder" from the Planet Thanagar!    Truman's Hawkworld is a gritty, commentary on the abuse of power, and how it can tear apart an individual who has had his life mapped out for him. Katar Hol is a man fighting demons of the heart and mind, as well as those that prey on the less fortunate in the real world.The guys discuss the themes and tones such a world would impose on one man, and how he must fall from grace to eventually conquer all his demons so that he may become the beloved Silver Age version of Hawkman.    And as they extol the virtues of Truman's dynamic and nuanced writing, they fairly flip their minds when they profusely praise his incredible art.    This is a book the guys have been wanting to wax poetic about for a long time. We feel sure you will enjoy the discourse of this somewhat overlooked gem from comics best decade.And that classic exclamation "Look up in the sky!"--takes on a whole new meaning after reading Hawkworld!

We went back to the Silver Age of Adult Cinema and picked up a starlet that had been in over 120 films. Her name is Flame! We chatted with Flame to see what had been going on since her days in front of the camera and talked a bit about her history if she's a fan of today's work. Speaking of today's work -- she does have an OnlyFans channel as well. It's always great to be able to dive into a bit of "Porn History" and Flame was a real treat to get to know! Along with Flame, we were joined by Lorenzo, Darby Dee and Richard Pacheco!

Året er 1888 og engelske Albert Mummery vil forsøge at blive den første, der når toppen på det mere end 5200 meter høje bjerg Dykh Tau - det stejleste og næsthøjeste bjerg i Kaukasus. Tidens sidste store udfordring. Mummery var kernen af The Silver Age of Mountaineering og repræsenterede den nye tid og de bjergbestigere, der ønskede at klatre på egen hånd. Og ad de mest vanskeligste ruter. Men i London sad der en gruppe ældre hærdede bjergbestigere og fulgte med i Mummerys bedrifter. De var samlede i verdens første bjergbestigerklub; den hæderkronede Alpine Club. Hvorfor mødte Mummery så meget modstand fra de gamle i klubben? Og fik han overbevist de ældre om, at hans tilgang var fremtiden?Medvirkende: Søren Smidt, medlem af Eventyrernes Klub. Søren er fascineret af Kaukasus og har klatret flere bjerge dernede, blandt andet det højeste bjerg i Europa, Mount Elbrus, hvor han har været på toppen tre gange.

Dive deep into the shadows of Gotham as Geek History Lesson embarks on a gripping journey through Batman's Dark Age—spanning from 1985 to 2000. This era redefined the Caped Crusader, courtesy of visionary creators like Frank Miller, whose "The Dark Knight Returns" brought a gritty realism to Bruce Wayne's world. Alongside Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke," which delved into the twisted psyche of the Joker, and Grant Morrison's innovative narratives in "Arkham Asylum," these stories sculpted a darker, more complex Batman. This period ushered in a renaissance of the Dark Knight, transforming him into a symbol of vigilante justice steeped in moral ambiguity, setting the stage for Batman's evolution for years to come.

Take The Dirty Dozen, populate with supervillains and obscure DC characters, and plug them into Mission: Impossible-style plots. This is the recipe that John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell used to launch Suicide Squad, a series that takes place in the same mainstream post-Crisis DC Universe inhabited by Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, but takes a very different look at the place of superhumans in it, while also casting a suspicious eye on Cold War-era U.S. interventionism. We'll discuss how Ostrander spun this series out of little more than a name recycled from the Silver Age, his working method with McDonnell, and one of this run's most enduring legacies in the DCU: Amanda Waller.

This week my, guest is Christopher T. Connelly, the author of the fascinating new book HELEN MORGAN — THE ORIGINAL TORCH SINGER AND ZIEGFELD'S LAST STAR.  There are a number of individuals who were very big Broadway stars back in what I call the Silver Age of Broadway (the 1920s and 30s), But who today are mostly overlooked and left out of the conversation. Performers who were on a level with Jolson and Cantor and Fanny Bryce, but whose fame has almost entirely faded. Of course most musical theater fans will know the name Helen Morgan, and know that she originated the role of "Julie" in Show Boat. But if you are like me, you will be largely unaware, of the incredible range of her talents, the depth and breadth of her career, and the level of her stardom. And I have no doubt that you'll be as fascinated by this book and by this conversation as I was. Christopher S. Connelly is a film and theater historian. His work has appeared in Etcetera magazine and the Kino Lorber DVD release of Mamoulian's Applause. He is also an actor, Roman Catholic cantor, and chorister for the Atlanta Opera. When he is not writing or performing, he works IT for the Georgia Institute of Technology. Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!

Beginning an in-depth look at the life and times of Kyle Rayner, a new Green Lantern for a new era! It's 1994, sales on the Green Lantern comic are down, and with anniversary issue #50 on the horizon, DC is looking to revitalize the title. New writer Ron Marz is brought on board with a mission: replace Silver Age stalwart Hal Jordan with a new character (in a new costume designed by incoming regular penciler Darryl Banks). The introduction of freelance-artist-turned-superhero Kyle led to Green Lantern climbing the charts, but it also courted controversy by turning Hal into a megalomaniacal villain and through a scene that would later inspire Gail Simone to create the website “Women in Refrigerators.” Discussed in this episode: Green Lantern #48-58 and #0, plus crossover issues of R.E.B.E.L.S. ‘94 and New Titans

Notes:   It's the Silver Age again! It started out as a one-off Superboy story and turned into a long running exploration of the DC Universe 100 years in the future. The Legion are not known as well today as they were 30 years ago, but by the 1980's they were a critical and commercial success at DC Comics. In this episode we take a look at the first appearance in the Superboy story that introduced the Legion of Super-Heroes and their origin from DC Super-Stars #17! Part 1 of a multi-episode look at this classic super team!     You can follow the show @ComicsLloyd on Twitter or send an email to ClassicComicsMBL@gmail.com.   You can find me on Twitter @MattB_Lloyd and at www.dccomicsnews.com where I write reviews and edit news stories.   You can also check out my chapter in “Politics in Gotham: The Batman Universe and Political Thought.” https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Gotham-Universe-Political-Thought/dp/3030057755 “Black Panther and Philosophy: What Can Wakanda Offer the World?” https://www.amazon.com/Black-Panther-Philosophy-Blackwell-Culture/dp/1119635845/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2F69N3WJBZMF3&keywords=what+can+wakanda&qid=1642053514&sprefix=what+can+wakanda%2Caps%2C256&sr=8-1   “Batman's Villains and Villainesses: Multidisciplinary Perspectives On Arkham's Souls” https://www.amazon.com/Batmans-Villains-Villainesses-Multidisciplinary-Perspectives-ebook/dp/B0C5SHX9BJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=D49SBV4K1UQD&keywords=villains+and+villainess+arkham&qid=1695406720&sprefix=villains+and+villainesses+arkaham%2Caps%2C284&sr=8-1   I've also submitted my essay on Silver St. Cloud to be included in “Batman, Also Starring….”  Also look out for the forthcoming “Comics Lit.” series from members of the Comics in Motion family.   Adventure Comics #247   Otto Binder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Binder   Al Plastino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Plastino

Get groovy with the teeny bopper superteam of the DC Universe as Geek History Lesson embarks on a time warp through the Silver Age of the Teen Titans —spanning from their introduction in 1964 to the beginning of The New Teen Titans era of 1979. This era introduced the beloved legacy characters of Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Fash, Aqualad, and Speedy to a team intended to reach a new, younger generation of readers by using slang and pop culture references for the first time in DC Comics history. This period set the stage for one of the most beloved teams, team ups, and storytelling styles we see echoed today in tv, movies, and comics.
