Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome author, speaker, and Brace No More founder Casey Muze for a bonus conversation built around a phrase Casey Muze repeats after being told a music therapy idea was "stupid": this is stupid, but I'm going to do it. Casey Muze traces a path from a depressive episode in a Dallas, Texas apartment through discovering box breathing and the drum rudiment known as a paradiddle, to founding the community nonprofit Star Avenue Co in Nacogdoches, Texas, and later being co-signed by a California-based organization called Trap. Casey Muze also details the structure of the book Cadence and Clarity and explains Avenue Speak, a music therapy program built for neurodivergent, special needs, and dementia care populations, including partnerships with Alzheimer's alliances and associations. Ode and Mo press Casey Muze on the difference between resilience and endurance, and on outdated mental health ideas that prioritize diagnosis over symptoms instead of treating the whole person.The cultural lens portion of the interview turns to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with Casey Muze using Splinter's kidnapping by the Foot Clan and the near-death of Raphael in the film versus Leonardo in the comics to talk through boundaries and bouncing back from hardship. Casey Muze also breaks down turning an overwhelming dream into a written goal, advice Mo connects to his own early stand-up comedy attempts in Washington, D.C. The Mental Health Check-In includes Ode discussing travel exhaustion and Mo discussing an ongoing period of mania and new access to medication, alongside a lighter debate over anime-themed glasses versus a One Piece Halloween costume of Dracule Mihawk. A DMX tribute opens the We're Big Mad segment, where Casey Muze addresses assumptions about drum circles, before the episode closes with Freakazoid's return to Tubi, a nod to Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Road Rovers, Waynehead, and Histeria!.Find Casey's Work at BraceNoMore.infoConnect with the Snerdy Crew: Watch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy
What's in a title? This week, Kyle Starks takes us to school, detailing the best way to hook a reader and use your following to do it. Louise Sprouse Stole My Heart (And I Have Two Hours to Get It Back) is live on Kickstarter. As of this writing, you have eight days to back this book and grab yourself a cute little desk calendar in the process. The comic is the third from Kyle Starks, following Karate Prom and Wrestle Heist, which his followers named. They supplied the inspiration, and the challenge was living up to it. Having read all three, we believe Starks has never failed, and we're excited to learn he's doing it again right now on his Patreon. Louise Sprouse Stole My Heart (And I Have Two Hours to Get It Back) is another hitman tale from Starks, but it's his most romantic, and certainly his most gory. This darling is black, white, and bloody, but accomplished in the most endearing, relatable fashion. Whenever Starks is behind the pen, the resulting story delivers on the “awwwwws” as well as the giggles. We swoon for Starks. Returning to the podcast for the second time this year, Starks chats with us about the importance of a title, building a community, and making your comics physical. Also, don't waste your time drawing characters that don't matter. Follow Kyle Starks on BlueSky, Instagram, and his Website. Other Relevant Links to This Week's Episode: Listen AD-Free!

In this episode, Tara sits down with author, artist, and Emmy-winning animator Loryn Brantz for an honest conversation on creativity, modern parenting, and what's really going on behind the scenes in children's media. Loryn opens up about shifting from traditional animation on classic shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sesame Street to writing children's books, sharing how a very relatable toddler meltdown inspired her new book, I Am a Spicy Nugget. She and Tara unpack practical strategies for co-regulation and handling big emotions, explaining why doing the inner self-work and reparenting ourselves beats relying on cookie-cutter parenting scripts every time. They also tackle the changing landscape of creative content, diving into Loryn's advocacy for artist protection against AI after her public battle over The Good Advice Cupcake. From the rise of AI-generated slop in children's shows to her behind-the-scenes work, Loryn reminds us that human connection is at the heart of storytelling. This conversation is a candid look at the emotional work of raising good humans while fighting to protect genuine creative integrity for the next generation.

Light the Bat-Signal, friends. Scott Snyder is back on the podcast, reflecting on Batman: The Court of Owls and how it served as a massive lesson in character. Both on and off the page. Fifteen years ago, a roar rushed through every local comic book shop. Cries of blasphemy rattled over the racks and rippled atop the longboxes. DC Comics rebooted every single one of their titles with a new number one, calling it The New 52, and readers were as anxious about it as they were willing to buy every single title. It was a linewide reset, and it felt as radical as comics could get for new readers, and even gave the old heads some pause. Batman (Vol. 2) #1 arrived on September 21st, 2011. It was written by Scott Snyder, penciled by Greg Capullo, inked by Jonathan Glapion, colored by FCO Plascencia, and lettered by Richard Starkings and Jimmy Betancourt. Today it's considered a modern classic, having just gotten the Compact Comics $9.99 seal of approval. Fifteen years ago, however, it was anything but a sure thing, especially from Scott Snyder's perspective. On this hallowed Batman Day, we're deeply pleased to chat with Scott Snyder about this extreme moment in time. We discuss the panic he felt when he first got the title, the mission he set for himself, and the battle he fought to stay on target with his new partner-in-comics, Greg Capullo. Is Batman the ultimate detective? Or can he screw up royally, living decades in ignorance while the diabolical Court of Owls controls his streets? Fighting for a fallible Bruce Wayne nearly got him ripped off the book, but his passion for growth-mindset superheroes is what's rocketing Absolute Batman to the top of the bestseller charts today.

Before he was one of Broadway's youngest Tony nominees, the voice of Donatello, or a hot tot recording artist, Barry Gordon was a door-to-door performing toddler, entertaining any neighbor who would answer.Barry joins Weezy and Lisa to reflect on an extraordinary career that began when, at age three, he entered The Ted Mack Amateur Hour and placed second with his heart wrenching interpretation of Johnny Ray's “Cry.”Barry shares the invaluable lessons he learned from his father, whose instinctive "method" approach to acting and song interpretation encouraged him to search for the deeper meaning inside every performance. He explains why he considered himself a character actor even as a child, and how that mindset eased his transition into adult roles. As a small boy, Barry shared the stage and held his own with Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis, Elvis Presley, Jack Benny, Danny Thomas and Perry Como. By thirteen, he was starring on Broadway in A Thousand Clouds with Jason Robards and Sandy Dennis. Barry admits that opening night was less terrifying than his Bar Mitzvah. In the film version of that role, Barry was pushing fourteen and to disguise his growth spurt, Jason Robards wore lifts. Barry's career included a record deal and the hit Christmas novelty song, “Nuttin' for Christmas.” As a young adult Barry starred in sitcoms including Barney Miller, Fish and The New Dick Van Dyke Show before moving into voice work and landing the role of Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.We also take a look at his latest creative endeavor, writing and producing a new musical called Forever, which reimagines Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray as the story of a ‘60s rock star, using race as a modern parallel to the novel's themes of class and privilege.And in IMDb Roulette, we celebrate Leave It To Beaver's most heartbreaking guest, child of divorce, Chopper Cooper.

We want everyone who needs this comic to find this comic. Pig Wife astonished us both, but our first encounter with it rocked us so hard we needed weeks to process it. After that, Pig Wife took root, and we've carried the comic ever since, processing much of our daily lives through its lens. Lisa read it first, early in the year. As she turned through its pages, the temperature around her seemed to increase. The book affected her chemistry, challenged her perspective, morphing with her as she morphed around it. Brad read Pig Wifesecond, and we've talked about little else until this week, when cartoonist Abbey Luck joined us on the podcast for a comprehensive discussion. Published by Top Shelf Productions, Pig Wife recounts the tale of Mary, a young girl dragged to a remote mining town by her mother and stepdad. Living in dead aunt Pearl's house triggers a familial confrontation that sends Mary through a trapdoor, leading to an abandoned gold mine. There, she meets those who live below, and nothing will ever be the same again. We discuss Pig Wife's origins with Abbey Luck, who she initially imagined her audience to be, and how her relationship with surrealism captured a profound honesty about people. Pig Wife is a lot, and may not be for every reader, but for those who connect with it, as we did, they will mark Pig Wife as one of the year's best books, and maybe one of the best books of the twenty-first century. Pig Wife is out now in paperback. It's written by Abbey Luck with art by Luck and Ruka Bravo. Make sure you're following Luck on Instagram.

They are based in Scotland because the world's biggest camera hog is the Loch Ness Monster, and whenever someone gets a photo of her, the team has to go into action to blur photos and delete Instagram posts. This is a lovingly irreverent take on Cryptids in the mode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Issue #1 was entirely self-funded and has been a huge hit for Green Archer Comics, and today, they're Kickstarting issue #2 to reach a wider audience (but don't worry, you can still grab issue #1 if you missed it). Cryptid Hacker Force is written by brothers Allan and Benn Liska, illustrated by Kieran Squires, with a main cover by our friend and fave, Sarah Myer, of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures. Click here to back the Kickstarter! Art fans, character-design lovers, and anyone who appreciates anime-influenced illustration, you're going to want to check this out.

Episode 309 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at the 1990 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and the story behind its unlikely trip to the big screen. Tom Clark and Chris Patton look back at the first movie adaptation, from the original comics and animated series to the decision to bring Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael to life using the incredible costumes created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The episode also examines the movie's unusual production history, deleted scenes, North Carolina filming locations, behind-the-scenes trivia, and the movie's enormous box-office success. Tom and Chris look at why this movie became such a huge hit despite major studios passing on it, how it was received by critics, and whether it still deserves its reputation as the best live-action Turtles movie. Does this film still hold up after 30+ years, or is it a product of its time? Dive into that and a lot more! Boink Studios podcasts are created by humans.

Sometimes, stories go unfinished! Sometimes, the writer bounces off of a book, or is bounced off of a book, or, y’know, there is bouncing involved. And then another writer comes along and changes things, or the book simply goes unfinished. But. What if…? What if that didn’t happen, and the writer finished the story? That’s what we’re here to talk about this week! We cover Omega the Unknown, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Miracleman, the final Mirage run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even All-Star Batman and Robin!

WEPA! The Comic Crusaders Podcast is bringing the heart, the nostalgia, and the big-screen inspiration as Al Mega sits down with producer Kim Dawson for a powerful conversation about storytelling, legacy, and the new coming-of-age film Better Together. For pop-culture fans, Kim Dawson's name carries serious weight. He was part of the producing team behind the original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, the 1990s big-screen phenomenon that helped turn four sewer-dwelling heroes into movie icons. From practical effects and franchise instincts to the kind of character-first storytelling that sticks with audiences for decades, Dawson has been connected to films that shaped childhoods and packed theaters. Now, Dawson is helping bring audiences a very different kind of adventure with Better Together, a film arriving in select theaters nationwide on May 15, 2026. The story follows Jesse and his friends as they set out on a quest tied to his father, the mysterious Zion Point, and a legendary meteor shower. But beneath the adventure is something deeper: friendship, grief, identity, hope, and the internal battles many young people are facing today. Written by Sean Thiessen and directed by Emmy Award-winner Kyle William Roberts, Better Together explores teen struggles through a story built around connection and courage. The film stars Gattlin Griffith, Bart Johnson, Ricardo Hurtado, Giselle Torres, LaRonn Marzett, Katie Burgess, and Juan Graterol. This episode dives into Kim Dawson's creative journey, what it takes to believe in a project before the world understands it, and how a producer moves from pop-culture legacy projects to films designed to spark meaningful conversations. Al and Kim also explore why stories about mental health, friendship, and family connection matter now more than ever. So grab your headphones, gather the crew, and join the Crusade for a conversation that reminds us all of one major truth: we are not built to fight every battle alone. Better Together opens in select theaters nationwide on May 15, 2026. Visit the website: https://bettertogethermovie.com/ The Crusade Never Ends!

Layne and Jon investigate the mystery of who is killing the newly revived Utroms in IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 57 from 2016!
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.

Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a fearsome foursome! Join Tricky, Matt, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Mass Effect 2, Double Dragon IV, Splatoon Raiders, Split Fiction, and Gears of War: E-Day. What’s more, we delve into tariff refunds, and broach the Grand Theft Auto VI “extended look” preview. Hopefully, if you’re a GTA fan, you’re also a Netflix subscriber. Netflix will — somewhat oddly — be hosting the “extended look” of GTA VI. Although, we’re sure people will find other means to watch the early glimpse into the biggest game of the year. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming! As usual, the news is full of surprises. We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter. What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB!

Forty years ago, four martial-arts-trained rodents crashed the comics scene and helped kick off one of the strangest crazes of the 1980s. On this episode, creator Don Chin joins the Bandits to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, the 1986 series that began as a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and quickly took on a life of its own. Don looks back at creating Bruce, Chuck, Clint, and Jackie during the height of the black-and-white comics boom, the unexpected success of the series, and working with artists including Parsonavich and a young Sam Kieth. The conversation also explores the anything-goes world of independent comics in the '80s, the Hamsters' enduring cult following, and what it's like to see this gloriously offbeat creation being celebrated four decades later with new 40th-anniversary collections from Dynamite. You can follow Don on Instagram @donchin63. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
This is a very special brunch episode. Camden Griffith is BACK to host an episode where we get to play a game called 'Never Stop Blowing Up' which allows Mike, Sean and AJ to enter the world of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and play out the story they way we would like to do it. It's a TTRPG or a game similar to DND and it's a really fun time.
