Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and put a campaign mission in the beta for the first time ever. We get into the WARDOGS recon grind and the 5.56 break-action "sniper" that shouldn't exist, the money system and whether it creates real gear fear, three-team fights and whether they actually matter, spawn vehicles as an infinite money glitch, base building and anti-air, and why there is never — not once, not ever — an unoccupied tower. On the CoD side: how the movement feels without omnimovement, no-bloom hipfire on keyboard and mouse, opening-night demon lobbies, whether Warzone and DMZ2 have a chance, and the annual spawns discourse that needs to die. Jake played both. Raz refused to pre-order. Somehow they still ended up disagreeing. 0:00 - Intro 2:26 - How to even get into these betas 2:50 - "I'm not pre-ordering this pile of shit game" 3:23 - Patreon, the FPS lore bonus episode, and the patron hangout 6:09 - Gut check: which beta did we keep loading back into? 6:39 - Jake played the MW4 campaign mission first thing in the morning 8:10 - Opening night of the CoD beta was as sweaty as it gets 11:09 - The WARDOGS recon grind is making the game worse 12:22 - The 5.56 break-action "sniper" that should not exist 13:31 - Two gripes: no free look, and you can't reload while sprinting 15:10 - Recon 10, the Mosin, and a $50,000 unlock 16:41 - There's loot on top of the towers — finding an SV-98 17:44 - What surprised us 18:43 - MW4 movement with no omnimovement 21:48 - So what's actually new in MW4?

Demon lobbies on day one 26:36 - Ground War and looser SBMM next weekend 27:21 - "The MW4 beta had more concurrent players than BO7's peak" 28:20 - Spawn vehicles and the infinite money glitch 30:25 - Learning to fly the helicopter (badly) 32:19 - Chopper runs are the easiest money in the game 33:50 - Base building, FOBs and anti-air 35:26 - Best moment of the weekend: spawn camping a Lone Star vehicle 36:36 - Pro tip: pack a second optic and hot swap 37:58 - Claymores and tower loot 38:53 - Class leveling and why the grind is a good thing 40:06 - Tanks, attack helicopters, and getting strafed off a roof 43:56 - Do three teams actually change anything? 47:36 - The money system: did it change how you played? 52:01 - Gear fear — "I'm here to PvP" 53:59 - We want there to be consequences to dying 56:06 - Bandages, revives, and running out of resources 58:38 - The crane fight and the parachute escape 1:01:31 - There is never an unoccupied tower 1:03:04 - Shotguns, SMGs, and the two-primary backpack build 1:05:42 - Could a kit ever get too expensive to fight over? 1:09:00 - Armor, AP rounds, and no hit markers 1:10:27 - The SKS chamber bug 1:11:46 - Tac sprint in WARDOGS is driving us insane 1:13:41 - Proning while ADS, and other small friction 1:14:42 - People who refuse to learn a new game 1:19:07 - Who is WARDOGS actually for? 1:21:20 - You can't win if everyone's Bob the Builder 1:22:28 - The one type of player this game won't work for 1:24:39 - Give it a real try before you refund it 1:26:53 - Hesco barriers and why building matters 1:27:18 - MW4 first impressions: movement and gunplay 1:28:38 - The annual spawns discourse needs to stop 1:33:36 - Warzone and DMZ2: the fundamentals are finally sound 1:34:29 - "Will they be good?

Bonjour! It's time for another MONSTER EPISODE of Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Berserk Baboon of Horror Podcasting! Here in Episode 186, Jay of the Dead and his fellow Horror Avengers bring you several new Horror movie reviews, including Send Help (2026), Luc Besson's Dracula (2026), Passenger (2026), and Surrender (2025). We also revisit (yet again) that age-old Horror debate about identifying Horror. As usual, we have three Horror-themed Specialty Segments that are running wild: Mackula brings a very special Horror in Black and White review of the Finnish film The White Reindeer (1952). GregaMortis continues his journey through the Showa-era Godzilla films with Godzilla Raids Again (1955) for his Monsters on the Mantle segment. And Gillman Joel and Dr. Shock wade back into the Horror Lagoon for the low-budget, techno-Horror flick Horrorvision (2001). Dr. Walking Dead leads our latest John Kenneth Muir group review with the fascinating cinematic oddity, Equinox (1970). And finally, Jay and Spawn of the Dead close things out with The Final Cut: One for the Road, reviewing Welcome to the Jungle (2007) during Spawn's first remote podcast recording from wild and wonderful West Virginia! Join us, we're spooky!
We don't want to know your favorite Ninja Turtle. We want to know which Ninja Turtle is you. Which Ninja Turtle best represents your personality and behavior? Not everyone is comfortable answering the question, but Matthew Rosenberg gives it a go in our recent conversation at San Diego Comic-Con International, after a little nudge/encouragement. Matt Rosenberg will take over writing duties on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #25, after Gene Luen Yang and Fero Pe wrap up their current “City That Never Dies” storyline. Rosenberg is on a hot streak, writing both Spawn and King Spawn, as well as If Destruction Be Our Lot. Not to forget the eagerly anticipated cinematic adaptation of 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank hitting screens next year. He's the third writer to tackle the monthly Ninja Turtle series in three years, and he promises to bring a unique perspective to our favorite mutant brothers. First, his Turtles are going to war, and it's going to take them down nearly every New York City street. Streets Rosenberg knows exceptionally well as someone raised on them. Secondly, Rosenberg is a diehard Turtle fanatic, and he's been plotting possibilities for these characters since he was twelve or so. This week's podcast is our final 2026 San Diego Comic-Con episode. As we've done over the last few weeks, we've invited another podcaster onto the show to help us broaden our con coverage perspective. Today, we have Chris Hacker, co-host of The Oblivion Bar. Hacker found his way to Comic-Con only through the power of the comic book community, and we needed to take a moment to celebrate. Comic book people can get a bad rap, especially online, but Hacker's story shows the beauty that fellowship makes possible. Make sure you're following Matthew Rosenberg on his Substack, Podcast, Bluesky, and Instagram.. And follow The Oblivion Bar on Instagram and Bluesky.

Vampire Snow White and Werewolf Belle must fight the evil queen, while exes-to-lovers, Sleeping Beauty and Alice, try to escape a Nightmare version of Wonderland. Kat and Phil at Lifeline Comics have been building a Kickstarter empire with their Mature Fairy Tale Universe for years…did we also mention they are queer? Well, now they are all colliding in a special Big 2-style event. Nothing will be the same. Head to Kickstarter for Fairy Tale Wars #1, which sees the popular series The Beast and Snow, Nightmare in Wonderland, and The Witches of Oz crossover for a first-of-its-kind comics event. I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits! is the wild new original graphic novel from Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard, the twisted minds behind Plastic, Vinyl, Plush, and the current hit Image book, Narco. Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where Heaven and Hell are at war, a nerd wakes up trapped in the body of a supernatural slasher, and his only allies include a roller derby angel, a possessed truck...and immortal murder chickens. Critics are already calling it wildly creative, wonderfully weird, and an absolute blast. Back the Kickstarter for an oversized deluxe hardcover, exclusive editions, art prints, and even the Murder Chickens Card Game, available only during the campaign. If you love horror, dark comedy, and comics that break every rule, head to Kickstarter and search I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits! before the campaign disappears! This August, the 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special is here to make it a nuclear Summer! This 48-page Summer Special features five self-contained stories featuring Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Judge Death and Stickleback – the King of Crime! Never read 2000 AD before? This is a great way to jump on board and try out The Galaxy's Greatest Comic.

It's available through Lunar – so you'll be able to order it through your LCS! It's the ultimate apocalyptic beach read – so make sure you pick up the 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special this month!

Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies presents the 63rd edition of Dead Man Still Walking, your favorite Zombie Movie Podcast hosted by Dr. Walking Dead Kyle William Bishop! This time, the good doctor returns to an older corner of zombie cinema with Umberto Lenzi's strange and unconventional Italian horror film "Nightmare City" (1980), a movie whose director apparently insisted was not a zombie movie, despite Dr. Bishop arriving at a very different diagnosis. And of course, as for me and my house, we will be believing Dr. Bishop's assessment. The infected creatures of "Nightmare City" are unlike your average shambling undead: They use knives, clubs, guns and even a harpoon gun; they appear capable of planning and communicating nonverbally; and instead of merely eating flesh, they sometimes stop to drink their victims' blood. That leaves Dr. Walking Dead pondering an especially unusual case of cinematic zombiism: Are these monsters zombies, infected humans, vampires or some bizarre hybrid of all three? Kyle examines the monsters' apparent resistance to gunfire, vulnerability to brain trauma and ambiguous method of spreading their condition while arguing that, regardless of Lenzi's objections, "Nightmare City" belongs in the zombie movie conversation. Dr. Bishop also places the film firmly within the post-Romero zombie boom, noting its conspicuous similarities to "Night of the Living Dead," "Dawn of the Dead" and the Italian zombie films that followed in Romero's wake. Kyle discusses the Dawn-like music, helicopter imagery, siege elements, Molotov cocktails and the movie's heavy-handed warning about nuclear power and radiation. Along the way, Dr. Walking Dead praises the score, questions the inconsistent gore effects, calls out some dated and misogynistic character behavior and identifies "Nightmare City" as the sort of cinematic oddity that may be worth seeing precisely because it is so strange. And then there is that ending. In a spoiler section, Dr. Walking Dead tackles the film's infamous last-minute narrative reset, recycled opening footage and "the nightmare becomes reality" conclusion — a twist that inspires considerably more frustration than admiration. Even so, the unusual zombie-vampire creatures and the movie's place within the history of Italian zombie cinema earn it a Low-Priority Rental recommendation rather than an outright Avoid.

Dead Man Still Walking is a biweekly, short-form solocast hosted by Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, author of American Zombie Gothic and How Zombies Conquered Popular Culture. Dr. Walking Dead also presents a popular segment called The Dead Zone on regular episodes of this podcast. For his Dead Man Still Walking solocast episodes, Dr. Bishop will focus exclusively on zombie films, with the occasional exploration of zombie-related themes, zombie television, and other zombie media (e.g., comics, literature, etc.). Dr. Bishop is an academic and professional scholar of zombie films and other zombie narratives. He has been teaching for 26 years. Dr. Bishop serves as an English professor, Film Studies professor, and he's currently the English Department Chair at Southern Utah University.

Container sind überall. In der Cloud, auf deinem Laptop, im Home Lab und ziemlich sicher auch in Systemen, die du täglich benutzt. Aber wie viel Isolation steckt wirklich in einem Container? Wann reicht ein klassischer Docker-Container, wann brauchst du eine VM und warum tauchen plötzlich Begriffe wie Micro-VMs, Firecracker, RunC oder GVisor überall auf? Genau an dieser Stelle wird es spannend, denn hinter dem scheinbar einfachen docker run wartet ein erstaunlich tiefes Rabbit Hole.In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Sébastien Pahl, Co-Founder der Firma hinter Docker und heute bei Cloudflare wieder tief im Container-Umfeld unterwegs. Gemeinsam zerlegen wir das Container-Ökosystem von unten nach oben. Wir klären, was Namespaces und C-Groups im Linux-Kernel eigentlich machen, wie sich Container, virtuelle Maschinen und Micro-VMs unterscheiden, welche Rolle LXC, OverlayFS, Systemd und RunC spielen und warum Docker der Container-Welt zum Durchbruch verholfen hat. Außerdem schauen wir auf Multi-Tenancy, Security, Kernel-Isolation, Hypervisor-Grenzen und die Frage, warum Bootzeit und Memory-Footprint für moderne Container-Plattformen so entscheidend sind.Besonders spannend wird es beim Blick in die Praxis. Wir sprechen darüber, wie ein maßgeschneidertes Init-System in Rust entsteht, wie AI beim Systems Engineering und beim Schreiben von Tests hilft und warum sich damit Produktionssysteme in wenigen hundert Millisekunden booten lassen. Wenn du Container, Docker, Micro-VMs und Linux-Isolation endlich wirklich verstehen willst, ist diese Folge dein Deep Dive.Bonus: Selbstfahrende Autos, Mars-Fantasien und Advent of Code schaffen es auch noch in die Episode.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Imagine Battlefield, but dying matters. That's the WARDOGS closed alpha in one sentence — and after a weekend in it, we're calling it the most polished alpha we've ever played. WARDOGS is Bulkhead and Team17's 100-player tactical shooter: three factions, one randomized control zone, first side to 100 points wins. You start with $10,000, you buy your loadout from in-game vendors, and when you die you lose the gear AND the money you spent on it. The money carries between matches. You can loot the guy you just killed and walk away with a level 30 kit you couldn't buy for another six hours. In this episode: what the alpha actually plays like, why the economy isn't the gimmick people think it is, how three-way faction warfare changes your strategy, the 256 square kilometre map, destructible towers, the reviving system Battlefield should steal, TTK and gunplay, why an Arma 3 King of the Hill mod is the reason none of this feels half-baked — and the two things that genuinely pissed us off. Plus the final verdict, the scores, and the one thing that could still ruin this game. Raz thinks it's a flawless alpha. Jake wants free look. Neither of us can stop playing it. 0:00 - Intro 1:14 - Patreon, free trials and the hangout 3:58 - What WARDOGS actually is 4:21 - Two things we had wrong before playing 6:07 - Unlock fees and gear progression 7:51 - The NDA that stopped us streaming 8:23 - Control zone, hot zone and how you score 11:01 - You can't group with your friends 12:59 - "It's so fun I don't recommend you play it" 14:33 - Jake's first impressions 18:07 - The best-performing alpha we've ever played 20:20 - How three factions changes your strategy 23:38 - Battlefield, but dying matters 25:43 - Looting kills and juicer kits 30:39 - Does the control zone actually move? 33:44 - Destructible towers and the M1 Abrams 35:59 - FOBs, spawn trucks and sandbags 40:00 - Infantry desperately needs free look 42:57 - The tutorial is actually good 43:58 - Does 100 players feel full? 47:26 - The log truck last stand 50:19 - Snipers and no scope glint 52:12 - Onboarding and the backpack system 55:15 - The loadout presets they need to add 57:06 - The kill cam that shows too much 58:18 - The milsim/arcade sweet spot 1:02:27 - Why it works: 10 years of Arma King of the Hill 1:04:45 - Visibility matters more than audio 1:08:50 - TTK, armor and ammo types 1:11:04 - Weapons: AK vs T21 1:14:15 - Gunfights that are actually gunfights 1:16:44 - Movement and traversal 1:20:56 - Reviving, defibs and why Battlefield gets it wrong 1:25:01 - Spawn trucks and the ride back to the fight 1:26:26 - Vehicles handle weird 1:28:58 - The first Unreal Engine 5 game that actually runs 1:29:32 - The money mechanic explained 1:35:02 - Is there gear fear? 1:37:56 - Why the economy isn't a gimmick 1:42:34 - What a max-level meta kit will cost 1:44:52 - Wipes, seasons and gold bars 1:47:31 - Selling ammo to your own team 1:49:42 - 256 square kilometers 1:56:30 - Time of day and future maps 1:57:59 - Who is this game actually for? 2:02:12 - Why Tarkov is too complicated 2:06:58 - Will we still be playing in six months? 2:10:00 - The one thing that could ruin it: anti-cheat 2:12:11 - Final verdict and scores 2:15:21 - Outro _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

Shieldwalled Off Cooldown, Part 2 with Jason Lucas! - Ep 43 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD available at: https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes Welcome to Episode 43! – 1:22 A few news updates and then back into the conversation with Jason Lucas. News – 3:48 We got word that Décor Duals will get some feature changes, but only until it gets removed when 12.1 arrives spurring my own speculation of the fate of other possible game systems with a similar style of name. The M+ cheating scandal gives Blizzard a funny opportunity next April. “Legacy of Rage” comic has been released; check it and all sorts of other media out here at the WoW media page: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/media . Dungeons & Dragons has embraced Azeroth with a ruleset for WoW coming in November. 1 launches on Tuesday with all its new content, though Season 2 begins arriving one week later on Aug. 18. What Have You Done Lately? – 22:18 I did earn the Spawn of Vyranoth mount for Timewalking and the Sporefall raid mount! Finally got a second character to level 90. Pandaren Heritage Armor questing completed, with a brief review here. Good story and story presentation. SQ Development Bench – 34:05 An idea for Blizzard: characters who have something new or updated in their text dialogue box should get a visual indicator such as a yellow outline across all questing, like they did for the end of the Pandaren HA questing. Main Topic – Part 2 with Jason Lucas – 36:30 The rest are topics and questions posed in the second half of the conversation. 10 Years Hosting TSZ – 38:11 The most consistent weekly Warcraft podcast out there, through the ups and downs. A Solo Player Asks About Raiding – 54:25 I share my observations about raiding from a non-participant perspective and ask some whys and why nots. Value of the Race to World First – 55:31 What is the value of the RtWF to the game? Who benefits? Raid Difficulty Levels and Nerfing – 1:09:49 Why is there so much nerfing over the course of a season? Social Responsibilities of a Raid Leader – 1:21:23 Leading a productive group requires some firm decisions and conversations (also known as why I don't do group content). Variance in Encounter Design? (He says no) – 1:29:58 Why does the boss do the same thing every time? Why not add some variance in abilities? Oh, that's why. Current State and Future of WoW and Azeroth – 1:37:06 Lightning Round! – 1:56:29 Closing Thoughts – 2:10:08 Outro – 2:15:11 Big thank you to Jason Lucas for joining me for a monster conversation!

n this episode of the Bass Vault, we unlock the ultimate jig strategy for targeting monster post-spawn bass. Learn why craw-style soft plastics are deadly after the spawn, when to throw heavy weights for a fast fall that triggers reaction strikes, and how to choose the perfect color—from natural green pumpkin to black/blue and even chartreuse accents that mimic bluegill. We break down exactly where big females go to recover: rocky structure, long points, humps, ledges, and current breaks in 10–20 feet of water. Plus, discover how to work suspended bass with sharp lifts and controlled falls, and get the inside scoop on must-have baits like the HellaMite, Scorpion, Lizard, Beetle, and the massive 8-inch MagDingo Worm. If you're after trophy bass this summer, this episode is your playbook.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome to the highly anticipated Episode 184 of Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, in which everyone's "favorite Horror Avenger" (and perhaps the most controversial one), Ron Martin — The Cassandra of Horror Podcasting — continues his milestone movie challenge worthy of his formidable Horror reputation. In celebration of turning 50 back on February 26, 2026, Ron has undertaken an ambitious cinematic mission: to watch 50 Horror movies he has never seen before during his 50th year! Rest assured, this is not merely a collection of familiar favorites, nostalgic rewatches, or comfortable genre standbys… Every selection must be a Horror film that Ron has never previously seen. No repeats. No fallback choices. Instead, Ron is tackling his own personal list of long-overdue "Must-See Horror Movies," neglected essentials, celebrated classics, and a handful of surprising blind spots that even he admits are slightly embarrassing. And in addition, he is randomly selecting films that he's just in the mood to watch at that time. But again, always and above all … films he has not yet seen! Ron Martin's 50 for 50 Horror Special spans five total episodes, with 10 mini reviews featured in each volume. Throughout the series, Ron offers concise, insightful, and frequently fiery reactions to each movie, complete with ratings and recommendations, as he attempts to "fill in the holes" of his extensive Horror-viewing résumé. The films may come from physical media, streaming services, or theatrical releases. The only firm requirement is that Ron must be experiencing each title for the very first time! For a lifelong Horror authority, it is a daring, revealing, and endlessly intriguing undertaking. So, join us for Volume 2 of 5 as Ron continues his 50 for 50 Horror journey — facing down supposed classics, testing long-held expectations, addressing glaring omissions, and carrying on his relentless pursuit of Horror truth versus Horror myth! **Be sure to listen to Ron Martin's previous Horror solocast series here: The Great Halloween Experiment – Parts 1 – 4 And check out Ron's other podcast: Retro Sleepover Be sure to subscribe to Jay of the Dead's new Horror movie podcast on: Apple PodcastsSpotifyDeezer You are welcome to email our show at HauntingYourHeadphones@gmail.com.

Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies presents the 62nd edition of Dead Man Still Walking, the Zombie Movie Podcast hosted by Dr. Walking Dead himself, Dr. Kyle Bishop! This episode offers a cinematic zombie twofer, beginning with Christopher Landon's irreverent teen comedy, "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" (2015), followed by the main event: Destry Allyn Spielberg's dystopian Gothic thriller, "Please Don't Feed the Children" (2025). First, Dr. Bishop briefly ventures into the realm of gross-out humor, zombie strippers and scouting skills put to apocalyptic use. Although the film offers a surprisingly earnest message about friendship, loyalty, and resisting peer pressure, Kyle finds its juvenile sex jokes, scatological comedy and deliberately ridiculous zombies considerably less rewarding. There is, however, some praise for David Koechner's performance. Then, Dr. Walking Dead turns his attention to "Please Don't Feed the Children," a slow-burning post-apocalyptic thriller in which young people are immune to a mysterious viral outbreak but are persecuted as suspected carriers. A group of fugitive teenagers takes refuge in an isolated farmhouse owned by the seemingly compassionate Clara, played by Michelle Dockery. Naturally, the safety of the house proves deceptive, and the movie's cleverly misleading title takes on a much darker meaning. Dr. Kyle Bishop examines the film as a COVID-inspired narrative about disease, social paranoia, generational conflict and the dangerous rumors that accompany public-health crises. He also considers its Gothic atmosphere, solitary zombie, exploration of motherhood and obsessive love, as well as its depiction of the "monstrous mother." And what exactly is "Biddy Horror"—and how does it differ from Hagsploitation? Join the good doctor for a smart, spoiler-filled discussion of zombies, secrets, family, life, death and the unfortunate consequences of keeping an infected loved one locked in the basement. Note: This episode contains major plot spoilers for both films, particularly "Please Don't Feed the Children."

And to view ALL of Dr. Bishop's episode-by-episode commentaries on The Last of Us – Seasons 1 and 2, with Jay of the Dead, then USE THIS LINK. Dead Man Still Walking is a biweekly, short-form solocast hosted by Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, author of American Zombie Gothic and How Zombies Conquered Popular Culture. Dr. Walking Dead also presents a popular segment called The Dead Zone on regular episodes of this podcast. For his Dead Man Still Walking solocast episodes, Dr. Bishop will focus exclusively on zombie films, with the occasional exploration of zombie-related themes, zombie television, and other zombie media (e.g., comics, literature, etc.). Dr. Bishop is an academic and professional scholar of zombie films and other zombie narratives. He has been teaching for 26 years. Dr. Bishop serves as an English professor, Film Studies professor, and he's currently the English Department Chair at Southern Utah University.

Read transcriptBy 2005, Konami had made three TMNT beat-em-ups based on the 2003 animated series, which is the kind of commitment usually reserved for tax filings or long-term relationships. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare landed that November on GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo DS as the trilogy's closer, and Konami sent it off in style by giving it the series' first E10+ rating, as if four years of shell-based violence had finally crossed some invisible threshold of Too Much. The game loosely adapts the show's third season across four “Episodes,” which means the Triceratons invade Earth, Agent Bishop kidnaps Splinter for reasons that presumably made sense to somebody in a government facility somewhere, and Shredder shows back up to remind everyone that retirement isn't really a thing that happens to ninja warlords. Along the way you can pour experience points into skill scrolls, transform into a Dino Turtle or an Ultimate Turtle depending on the mood, and, if you clear the first Episode, unlock a modified version of the 1991 arcade classic Turtles in Time, which is Konami's way of saying “here's the good one, in case this one doesn't land.” Joining me to sort the Triceratons from the Foot Ninjas is Pierce Lydon of Spawnography, the podcast where he and George Marston work through Todd McFarlane's entire Spawn mythology one hellish arc at a time. Pierce has already survived one trip through the Play Comics gauntlet with me on Spawn in the Demon's Hand, so they know exactly what they signed up for this time: showing up, being extremely knowledgeable, and getting talked into yet another licensed beat-em-up nobody asked for. So grab a ninja scroll, pick a turtle, any turtle, and let's find out whether Mutant Nightmare sent Konami's turtle trilogy out on a high note, or whether the Triceratons should've just stayed home. Learn such things as: When is it appropriate to make a game without the most iconic villains? How much can you cram into a game when you know it's your last one? What magical things can you find at your public library? And so much more! You can find Spawnography on BlueSky, and Instagram, and of course those Apple Podcast, YouTube, and Spotify places.

Todd McFarlane is a legend in the comic world—co-creator of Venom, record-breaking Spider-Man artist, and the mind behind Spawn. But what does he really think about God? In this candid conversation, Todd opens up about his journey, his doubts, and why he once said, “I will never believe in God.” We also dive into creativity, comics, and the deeper questions behind the stories that shape culture. This conversation is a bonus on the Think Biblically podcast and first appeared on Sean's YouTube channel here.Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, is a multi-faceted artist and businessman with a broad range of experience in entertainment, sports, and publishing.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

Todd McFarlane returns to The Comic Source for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present and future of Spawn. Todd explains how drawings he created as a teenager in 1977 inspired the upcoming Spawn '77 project with Mark Spears, why the new story must carefully work around established Hellspawn mythology and what impressed him about Spears' atmospheric interpretation of the concept. He also details his unusual collaboration with J. Scott Campbell, in which both artists created distinct finished versions of the same original sketches, and discusses the hidden differences fans can discover between their covers. The conversation also explores McFarlane's limited-edition enamel pin program, his commitment to honoring announced production numbers and the importance of maintaining trust with collectors. Todd even shares a cinematic moment he wrote for the Spawn movie and imagines Jamie Foxx's Al Simmons delivering the line, "I wasn't hiding. I was waiting." The episode closes with McFarlane reflecting on creative freedom, longevity and why surviving long enough to continue making comics may be the greatest victory of all.

More than three decades after creating Spawn, Todd McFarlane continues to expand one of comics' most enduring creator-owned universes. On this episode, years in the making, Todd joins the Bandits to discuss Spawn '77, his new series debuting in September with rising horror star Mark Spears, exploring why he decided to revisit his original design, and what Mark brings to the mythology. The conversation also takes a broader look at Todd's remarkable career, from redefining superhero art to building a multimedia empire, examining how his creative philosophy has evolved over the decades and what continues to drive him to innovate. Along the way, Todd reflects on creator-owned comics, mentoring the next generation of talent, and the excitement of continuing to push Spawn into bold new territory.

Welcome back to Wise_N_Nerdy, where fatherhood and fandom collide for another unforgettable adventure filled with laughs, nostalgia, parenting wisdom, and plenty of geeky discussion! This week's Question of the Week asks a surprisingly thought-provoking question: "Which villain would actually make a great parent?" Charles and Joe explore iconic antagonists who may not be as evil as they seem when it comes to family. From The Vulture and Magneto to Spawn and Greed from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the hosts debate which villains possess the loyalty, sacrifice, and protective instincts that could actually make them outstanding parents. The Roll of the Dice sends everyone first to Parliament of Papas, where the hosts tackle a parenting dilemma involving a father who promised his son a reward worth up to $200 for finishing the school year strong—but now the child has his sights set on the highly sought-after Nintendo Switch 2. Charles and Joe discuss keeping promises, managing expectations, and balancing generosity with practical parenting. Next comes everyone's favorite palate cleanser: Bad Dad Jokes! Bob, Nolan, and Devo unleash a barrage of puns and groan-worthy punchlines guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe, and question why you keep coming back for more. The dice then land on What Are You Nerding Out About? Charles shares his excitement as preparations ramp up for Dragon Con, including his role as one of the convention's official spokespeople and interviewer. Joe, meanwhile, has fallen headfirst into The Primal Hunter series by Zogarth, praising the addictive LitRPG adventure and its immersive audiobook experience. From there, it's time for Daddy, Tell Me A Story, where the hosts reminisce about some of their favorite childhood gaming memories. Charles recalls countless hours spent exploring the groundbreaking world of Half-Life, while Joe fondly remembers battling through the notoriously challenging Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on the NES. It's a nostalgic celebration of the games that helped shape two lifelong nerds. The episode concludes with How Do I...?, where Charles and Joe discuss one of the most valuable skills in today's information-rich world: How do you choose creators worth learning from? Rather than chasing popularity alone, the hosts explain how they evaluate creators based on expertise, consistency, humility, and demonstrated results, offering concrete examples of the voices they trust and why. Whether you're debating comic book villains, laughing through terrible dad jokes, reliving classic video games, preparing for Dragon Con, or searching for creators who genuinely add value to your life, this episode has something for every fan.
