Michigan experimental metalcore outfit Spirit Breaker are not only raising the bar for themselves musically, but they are giving the genre as a whole a breath of fresh air within their musicianship. We get the opportunity to speak with vocalist Tre Turner and drummer Alex Mitchell as they take us through the origins and growth that the band have endured. After 2017's debut outing with “Human Nature,” they have since upped the ante especially after the long wait due to the effect the pandemic had on the band – now we finally get the highly-anticipated follow up album with “Cura Nata.” Not only that, but getting the chance to drop this record with the likes of a revered label like Solid State Records really shows how far this group has come, and it only took two records and a massive work ethic to get there. They have been compared to other renowned metalcore acts such as Architects, August Burns Red, Northlane, and Silent Planet – and here they are, putting their own stamp and unique sound along with an identity with this album. This is how you start a new chapter, and Spirit Breaker is here to grab it by the horns. Tune in now to this episode with Tre and Alex and make sure not to miss this newest banger of an album. “Cura Nata,” from Spirit Breaker is due out August 13 via Solid State Records.Stay connected with Spirit Breaker, visit: https://www.facebook.com/SpiritBreakerMI, https://www.instagram.com/spiritbreakermi/, and https://spiritbreakermi.bigcartel.com/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

Cyphus and Roland talk a lotta Dota 2 today for a change.  First they discuss a brief state of affairs covering what they've been playing, where their MMR's are at, and how Spirit Breaker isn't an offlaner.  Or maybe he is.  They also discuss Roland's rekindling of love with Dota and actually enjoying a game with Cyphus backseat Dota driving.  Then they discuss who they think will fare well at the upcoming TI7, whether Valve is proactive or reactive with community controversies/drama, and whether or not that's a good thing.  All this and more on the latest Dota 2 podcast!

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast Cyphus and Roland team back up for the final Counterattack episode this week with a support duo of Spirit Breaker and Vengeful Spirit.  They talk how well the lineup did against a Slark, Pudge, Queen of Pain, Nature' Prophet and Silencer.  They also make a big announcement regarding the future of the Friday slot on Defense of the Patience.  All this and more on the latest episode of the Dota 2 podcast!

We take a look at another William Dozier pilot for another comic related property.  This time, it's Dick Tracy - He's a Good Cop.  This time though, Dozier went all out with a full length half-hour episode featuring Victor Buono as the villain, Mr. Memory - which starts the batter of questions about where this show was going.     In "The Plot to Kill NATO", Mr. Memory kidnaps three NATO ambassadors at the request of Major Powers.  His method of operation seems interesting enough, but there is still something lacking in his character.  And yet, despite this, the pilot is an enjoyable viewing experience with a lot of recommend including Jan Shulman as Liz and the well choreographed fight scenes.   John is joined by his The Hornet's Sting co-host, Jim Beard, to pitch these questions.  Just how committed was Dozier to this property? What would a relationship with Chester Gould have been like had the show gone forward? Why wasn't one of the established villains used in the pilot?  And why did Dozier still build in little nods to Batman and The Green Hornet when both shows were on their last legs? ​ Any comments or questions on this episode, please post them here or by writing thebatcavepodcast@gmail.com.     A native of Toledo, Ohio, Jim Beard was introduced to comic books at an early age by his father, who passed on to him a love for the medium and the pulp characters who preceded it.

"The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra" Aired March 7, 1968   It's the penultimate episode of the series and it seems to lack any spark or energy to it despite featuring Ida Lupino and Howard Duff as alchemist Dr. Cassandra and her groovy husband Cabala.  That alone should make it exciting, but then add Batgirl in the Batcave and a prison break featuring six of the villains from Batman's Rogue's Gallery and you should have a classic - and yet, nothing. Joining John to discuss an episode that's only thing that makes it stand out is the sexual innuendo is writer/editor Jim Beard of Gotham City 14 Miles.   NOTE: Thanks to listener Davis Maska for supplying us with the driving PSA that is featured at the start of the episode.

"The Joker's Flying Saucer" Aired February 29, 1968 The final Joker episode for Batman 66 is not exactly a fan favorite, but there are things of merit in the episode that are worth discussing. There were missed opportunities in a story that went beyond even the insanity of Joker surfing by having Joker build an unidentified flying object to terrorize Gotham City. And who is Verdigris?  Is being a Martian his shtick?  Is he just a bomb expert?  Or is he a bunko artist?

"I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle" Aired February 22, 1968 We come to the last King Tut episode of the Batman 66 series and out of all the characters in the series, John has always struggled with his view of the Mad Monarch.  There is much to praise in this stand alone story, but there is also much to note as simply bad.  Tut manages to confirm that Bruce and Batman are one in the same and it's a battle royale in the Batcave to stop him from revealing it to the world. Joining John to discuss the good and the bad of this episode, to lament the last appearance of the Batman fight theme, and to discuss the possibilities of a fourth season are writers/editors Robert Greenberger and Jim Beard of Gotham City 14 Miles. Comment on the episode here or write thebatcavepodcast@gmail.com.     Robert Greenberger (born July 24, 1958) is a writer and editor. Greenberger was born in Brooklyn in New York City, the son of Edwin L. Greenberger and Joan Greenberger. A lifelong fan of comic books, comic strips, science fiction and Star Trek, he drifted towards writing and editing, encouraged by his father and inspired by Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent. While at SUNY-Binghamton, Greenberger wrote and edited for the college newspaper, Pipe Dream, moving from general assignment writer to Arts Editor, Managing Editor and ultimately Editor-in-Chief.  He served an internship at Gannett's Binghamton Sun-Bulletin as a feature writer and reviewer. Upon graduation, he worked for Starlog Press as Managing Editor of Fangoria.  He was also an Associate Editor for Starlog and while there, created Comics Scene, the first nationally distributed magazine to focus on comic books, comic strips and animation.  The magazine lasted 11 issues before its first cancellation at which time Greenberger went to work on their sports magazines. In 1984, he joined DC Comics as an Assistant Editor, working with Len Wein and Marv Wolfman on DC's Golden Anniversary projects Who's Who and Crisis on Infinite Earths.  He went on to act as assistant editor to numerous titles for each editor until he was promoted to editor.  During his tenure, his titles included Star Trek, Suicide Squad, Warlord, Doom Patrol, Lois Lane, Action Comics Weekly, Time Masters, Secret Origins, The Hacker Files and others. By 1990, he had given up editing to become the company's Editorial Coordinator, helping grow the Editorial Administration department.  When he left the company, he was Manager-Editorial Operations. In March 2000, he left DC to become a Producer for Gist Communications, television news and listings web site. After ten months there, he learned some new skills and got out before the dotcom bubble burst. In January 2001, he joined Marvel Comics as Director-Publishing Operations.  During his year with the company, he oversaw editorial schedules, Production, Manufacturing, the Print Library, and other departments. In January 2002, he left Marvel and rejoined DC in May 2002 as a Senior Editor-Collected Editions.  He helped grow that department, introducing new formats and improving the editions' editorial content. He also managed DC's ElfQuest publishing program. He left DC in January 2006, becoming a freelance writer and editor.  His clients included Weekly World News, Platinum Studios, scifi.com, DC and Marvel. By June, he was offered the post of Managing Editor at Weekly World News where he helped transition the newspaper from being produced jointly in Florida and New York to just NYC. When the paper folded in August 2007, he resumed his freelance career which continues to this date.  Along the way, he helped revitalize Famous Monsters of Filmland and served as News Editor at ComicMix from August through December 2008. He is a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America and the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers.  He served on the final Nebula Short Fiction Jury.     A native of Toledo, Ohio, Jim Beard was introduced to comic books at an early age by his father, who passed on to him a love for the medium and the pulp characters who preceded it.

"The Londinium Larcenies/The Foggiest Notion/The Bloody Tower" Aired November 23/30 and December 6, 1967 Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Commissioner Gordon travel to Londinium at the request of the President to help Venerable Ireland Yard with a series of bizarre thefts throughout the city.  Batman quickly realizes that the evidence points to Lord Marmaduke Ffogg and Lady Penelope Peasoup and her finishing school for girls. ​ Once again, we are faced with a three-part story so big, it needs three guests hosts to cover every detail.  Jim Beard of Gotham City 14 Miles travels with John overseas to discuss the episode with Andrew Leyland of the HeyKids Comics Podcast and photographer and Batman 66 board moderator Ben Bentley.  We know we like it, but why?  It's a mess of a story and there are a number of missed opportunities.  And does Batgirl really play a part in this story?  It's all here on a double-sized episode.   Comment on the episode here or write thebatcavepodcast@gmail.com     Andrew Leyland - Born.

After decades of reading, collecting and dissecting comics, Jim became a published writer when he sold a story to DC Comics in 2002. Since that time he's written official Star Wars and Ghostbusters comic stories and contributed articles and essays to several volumes of comic book history. His prose work includes GOTHAM CITY 14 MILES, a book of essays on the 1966 Batman TV series; SGT. JANUS, SPIRIT-BREAKER, a collection of pulp ghost stories featuring an Edwardian occult detective; MONSTER EARTH, a giant monster anthology; and CAPTAIN ACTION: RIDDLE OF THE GLOWING MEN, the first pulp prose novel based on the classic 1960s action figure. Currently, Jim provides regular content for Marvel.com, the official Marvel Comics website, and is a regular columnist for Toledo Free Press.
