I'd say most of the time, writers labor over a story for a while. Weeks, months, years, maybe their entire life. Heck I've been sitting on my idea for a while and I'm starting to suspect that y'all think I'm just making up the fact that I have an idea. And then there's Ryan Drost who just had Stealth Hammer fall into his head from that place where good ideas live. Listen in as we see what this story is all about and hear about some little quirks that went into it's creation. And of course be sure to check out the Kickstarter page for Stealth Hammer #2. Learn such things as: How many plot threads is enough? What happens when you read too much into a comic? When can your significant other be a good influence on your creative endeavors? And so much more! You can find Ryan at his podcast Star Joes, on Twitter @StealthHammer, and of course the Kickstarter page for Stealth Hammer #2.

We’re a little late this week cause ok storm damages and blackouts here in NY but we have a guest this week pimpin’ his shit… The Drostest with the Mostest, Ryan Drost of Star Joes fame, talking about his new comic book kickstarter Stealth Hammer… We do some talk about Transformers, the Umbrella Academy, Syfy’s Todd Mcfarlane: Like Hell I Won’t, and we continue with another in a string of unfunny Spanish comedians. There’s some other sh#t we discuss as well but honestly I don’t remember.
It's a battle, and premise, everyone in the galaxy knows by now: Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, lightsaber in hand, bands together with his group of rebels, a duo of droids, Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca to take on Darth Vader and the evil Empire. But if you think you know more than that basic descriptor, well, we've got news for you. This ain't your daddy's Star Wars. Gather round as we discuss a very different eight-issue comic book adaptation of George Lucas' original rough draft, The Star Wars. And who better to assist in dissecting this Book of the Month selection and tying it into all kinds of Star Wars lore than Ryan Drost of the Star Joes podcast? Nobody, I say! May the Force of Others be with you. (2:09:51)

In this bonus episode Brian is joined by Dan West, Ryan Drost and Scott Schuette as we talk to the Production Designer from Jaws, Joe Alves. Alves has designed three features for Steven Spielberg, The Sugarland Express, Jaws, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He designed the three mechanical sharks for Jaws, with mechanical-effects man Robert Mattey supervising their physical construction in California. Alves worked on Jaws 2 in 1978 as both production designer and as second unit director. Alves directed Jaws 3-D in 1983. Alves started on Jaws, before a finished script, a director, or even a green light from Universal Studios. The Zanuch and Brown Company sent him the galley sheets of the yet to be published best-selling novel and asked him to do large concept sketches of the shark action in the book. Joe researched and after a long search found Robert Mattey, a retired special effects person from Disney that said he could do it. Joe was responsible for the look and action of the shark. Joe, as production designer, also designed the sets and scouted the locations finding Martha’s Vineyard ideal for the film. Joe was on the set whenever the shark was used. He also sat with Spielberg and sketched the storyboards for the third act and was the 2nd unit Director (uncredited). Check out Joe Alves website https://joealvesmovieart.com/ Also, listen to the episode to find out how you could win a copy of Jaws on 4K. JAWS 45th Anniversary Limited Edition is available now! Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s cinematic masterpiece comes to 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever.

Brian and Joe Stark talk with Ryan Drost of the Star Joes podcast about his new Kickstarter project an all ages comic book Stealth Hammer. The goal of the Kickstarter is to create the first issue of a true all-ages comic (meaning something anyone of any age can read and enjoy, not just for kids). Once that is produced, I’ll be looking to shop it around to hopefully be picked up and create a series. The Kickstarter will fund the costs for the artwork (all done by new amazing artist Alexandra Scott, currently artist on web comic Woven), the printing, costs to produce some of the rewards, and to cover taxes on the income. I’m receiving no income from this campaign. The comic will be a 22 page story. There will be a stretch goal that will allow for the 5 page Kickstarter story to also be printed in the first issue. There will be a variant cover by Robert Atkins, and a pinup in the interiors done by Shannon Gallant. The elevator pitch of the story: Jami Taylor is a college student going to school for graphic design. Her parents are famous scientist/inventor, Dr. Everett Taylor, and world traveling interior designer, Veronica Taylor. Even with successful parents, Jami has always worked hard to make her own mark in the world. This drive and her spirit of adventure came from her grandmother, Patricia Taylor, who explored the world to help those in need. Jami’s never give up attitude became critical when she found herself victim to sabotage in her father’s lab. This left her with incredible powers that will lead her to a much larger world. The first issue is an origin story, but layered in the dialogue and the images, you’ll find hints to legacy, mythical beings, alternate dimensions, and more. While this is the start of a new adventure, as Jami would say, “That’s not how this story ends!”
