Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a superior sextet! Join Tricky, Matt, Alex, Yield, Darrell and Joe as they discuss, among other things, Buckshot Roulette, Dinoblade, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and Palworld. What’s more, we delve into the most recent PlayStation Network outage, and we ponder Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s admission that Game Pass has not “provided meaningful growth” (for Microsoft). After what seemed like a rather rosy start for Sharma, she seems to be cleaning up quite the mess. Who wants all that stress? Former Xbox executives Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond absorbed game companies like Pac-Man — or Ms. Pac-Man — devoured pellets and adopted a multiplatform publishing strategy. Sharma cited multiplatform sales as failing to meet internal expectations. With rumors swirling that Microsoft wants to spin off its Xbox gaming division, we wonder how Sharma can turn this around the Xbox brand. 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!

It's a tremendous honor for the show to be part of three massive and respected entertainment communities, and Proven Gamer have only the fans to thank for pushing the podcast to soaring heights.

Episode 455 | Martial Arts Appreciation Month: How to Drive Referrals, Reviews, and Retention Podcast Description National Martial Arts Appreciation Month (September) isn't just a “fun theme” — it's a full marketing and retention campaign you can run every year. In this episode, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo break down how they built Martial Arts Appreciation Month into a repeatable playbook that drives referrals, strengthens culture, and gives families a real reason to talk about what martial arts has done for their kids. You'll hear practical ideas you can copy: a buddy week where students bring friends, sponsor-funded T-shirts that turn into walking billboards, review drives that feel like appreciation (not begging), and simple ways to educate parents on your school's legacy so they feel more connected — and stay longer. Key Takeaways Treat Appreciation Month like a campaign, not a calendar gimmick. When you plan it as a full campaign, it becomes a system for referrals, reviews, and retention — not “extra work for maybe results.” Appreciation changes the story families tell themselves. You can't force people to value what you do. However, you can give them a lens to look through so they notice progress: who their child used to be vs. who they are now. Events drive attention — and attention drives action. People are event-oriented more than ever. So when you package your message as an “event month,” families pay attention in a way they don't during normal weeks. Buddy Week + T-shirts = a referral engine that doesn't feel salesy.A structured “bring-a-friend” week inside the month gives you a clear referral push. Pair it with a T-shirt for both the student and the guest, and you create instant excitement and visibility. Use sponsorships to fund (and profit from) your marketing. Instead of paying out of pocket for shirts, Duane and Allie use community sponsors (with tiered packages) to cover costs and create profit — while building local business relationships. Reviews work better when they're framed as appreciation. A review drive tied to “show your appreciation” feels natural. Add a raffle-ticket system and prizes, and participation goes up. Video testimonials are marketing assets — not one-and-done content. Have instructors and students record short videos on why they appreciate martial arts (and your school specifically). Those clips can be reused on social, email, and your website. Brand the testimonials so they don't become generic. If students say “martial arts helped me,” you're advertising every school in town. Ask them to say your school name (ex: “TriStar Martial Arts helped me…”) so the message stays attached to your brand. “Dead leads” aren't dead — they're future event buyers and referral sources. Even if a guest doesn't enroll, they may attend camps, seminars, parent night outs, or refer someone later because they had a great experience. Education builds reverence — and reverence builds retention. Many families join because you're convenient and professional, not because they understand your legacy. Appreciation Month is your chance to teach them who you are, what you've built, and why it matters. Action Steps for School Owners Pick your month and commit to the campaign. September ties nicely to back-to-school, but you can run it any month. The key is planning early enough to execute. Choose 5 core activities (don't try to do all 30 ideas). Start with a simple stack like: Buddy Week (bring-a-friend) T-shirt incentive Review drive + raffle Weekly “Martial Arts Legend / History” spotlight Video testimonials (students + instructors) Build your sponsor offer (even if it's just 2 tiers). Create a simple sponsorship sheet for local businesses. If you want to copy Duane's approach, use four tiers: Community Champion — $200 Character Builder — $250 Leadership Partner — $300 Warrior Advocate — $400 Make the T-shirt the “ticket” to participation. Give a shirt to the guest and the student who brings them. It's a reward, a uniform, and a walking ad. Run a review raffle instead of “please leave us a review.”Every review = a ticket in the drawing. Pick prizes families actually want (gear credit, private lesson, birthday party discount, etc.). Collect video testimonials with one rule: say your school name. Give families a simple prompt and remind them to name your school in the first sentence. Add one “culture education” piece per week. Rotate options like: Word of the Week (grit, legacy, inspire, strength) Legacy chart (your instructor lineage) Instructor spotlight videos “Did you know?” facts about the owner/head instructor Create a follow-up plan for visitors. Don't just invite them to join. Invite them to the next event: movie night, bully-proofing seminar, parent night out, camp, etc. Additional Resources Mentioned Martial Arts Appreciation Month PDF playbook (Duane + Allie mention they'll share it via Facebook message and link it on the Episode 455 post at SchoolOwnerTalk.com.) Event Journal / Event recap questions (a repeatable set of questions to document what worked, what to change, and the numbers from each event.) Video testimonial collection + transcription workflow (they mention using Dropbox to collect videos and auto-transcribe, then repurposing the transcript with AI.) Movie Night Ideas (from the episode) Allie's “family martial arts friendly” movie list mentioned: 3 Ninjas (series) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (movies) Warriors of Virtue Top Dog (Chuck Norris) Surf Ninjas The Karate Kid (series) Kung Fu Panda (series) Mulan Underdog Kids Big Trouble in Little China Additional Resources Mentioned (Action Items to Implement) Link the MAAM PDF to the Episode 455 post on SchoolOwnerTalk.com. Plan and promote a movie night (example: 3 Ninjas) with pizza/popcorn and a giveaway. Closing Note If you want a campaign that helps families feel the value of martial arts again — and gives them a reason to bring friends, leave reviews, and stay committed — Martial Arts Appreciation Month is a simple, repeatable way to do it.

We’ve talked the comics! Now let’s talk the movie! So cue up your DVD or streaming device, and come give a listen!
One of the biggest comics announcements of San Diego Comic-Con was the reveal that Matthew Rosenberg will become the next ongoing writer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this week he's here for his first in-depth interview about the series. Rosenberg opens up about initially turning down the job before IDW came calling a second time, why his run is inspired by the raw energy of the original Mirage comics, and how he plans to put the turtles through a relentless fight across New York City. We also discuss his love of Eastman and Laird's work, collaborating with artist Juann Cabal, bringing forgotten characters back into the spotlight, and why this story will embrace every corner of TMNT history while carving out its own identity.

Dave: Rocket Raccoon: Rocket Rewind #1 (Mike Mignola Cover) Alex: X-Men 34 Alexander Lozano '80s Colossus Variant Interview: Matthew Rosenberg talks taking over TMNT You described your run as "The Warriors meets Daredevil: Born Again" with plenty of action and humor mixed in. Those are some massive touchstones. What qualities from those stories became your creative north star for this new era of TMNT? Your story begins immediately after Gene Luen Yang's "The City That Never Dies" storyline, which sounds like it leaves the city fundamentally changed. How did Gene Luen Yang's finale create opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? One of the biggest hooks is that the Turtles are being hunted over the course of a single night. What made that compressed timeline appealing, and how does it change the pacing compared to a more traditional TMNT story? You said the team hunting the Turtles is assembled specifically for this mission. Without spoiling who's involved, what makes this group uniquely equipped to challenge all four brothers at once? 10:59 Juann Cabal has shown he can handle kinetic action and expressive character work across Marvel and DC. What is it about his storytelling you're excited to see in TMNT? You've mentioned your love for Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's Mirage Studios era. Were there specific themes or storytelling techniques from those early comics that you wanted to bring back for modern readers? Your comics often balance brutal action with sharp humor and strong character voices. How do you approach writing the Turtles so each brother feels distinct, especially when they're under constant pressure? You've written everything from street-level crime stories to huge superhero events. Where does TMNT fit creatively for you, and does it scratch a different storytelling itch than books like What's the Furthest Place From Here? or your Marvel work? You're taking over with issue #25, which already feels like a milestone. Looking ahead, what do you hope readers say about your TMNT run after they've finished that first story arc?

Reports indicating that the San Diego Padres could listen to trade offers on closer Mason Miller have opened up a dramatic deadline scenario for New York baseball. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down whether the Yankees or Mets should swallow a toxic contract like Xander Bogaerts or Manny Machado if it means securing Miller's elite arm. Plus, the show breaks down John Harbaugh's leadership style compared to Mike Vrabel's intense approach, while reacting to a hilarious viral tweet from MLB insider Jon Heyman. Earlier, Evan shares a stomach-churning game from his morning bike ride along the West Side Highway that devolves into an absurd debate over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lore.

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.

Join Tricky, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Furi, and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. What’s more, we lament significant layoffs within XBOX Game Studios as part of a “reset” of the division, and we delve into Sony’s continued silence against fallout for aggressively pushing an all-digital future. As we have continually said, Sony need to clarify if the discontinuation of discs covers all games published for PlayStation consoles. As you might imagine, Sony’s announcement has caused a firestorm of chatter on the Internet. And Sony are certainly taking their lumps. Despite a wide proliferation of digital sales, we all know people who have sworn allegiance to physical media — and they will die on that hill.

Donny Fandango set out with one goal: raise $53,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities...and then proceeded to absolutely crush it. The crew recaps the incredible Radiothon, the huge donations, the emotional moments, and—because this is The Rizzuto Show—the bizarre auction prizes everyone agreed to while Rizz was unconscious after wisdom tooth surgery.Speaking of surgery, Rizz shares the surprisingly abrupt experience of getting knocked out for his wisdom tooth extraction. No dramatic countdown. No floating through space. Just "What are your hobbies?" and instant blackout. The gang compares anesthesia stories, post-surgery meals, and why hydrocodone apparently turns Rizz into a man convinced invisible bugs are crawling on him.Lern makes her very first Facebook Marketplace purchase. What should have been a simple $35 weight bench somehow becomes an FBI-level covert operation involving porch pickups, Venmo timing, getaway driving, and apologizing to Ring doorbells.The crew debates Korean BBQ versus Brazilian steakhouses, discusses the strategy of "beating the house" at all-you-can-eat restaurants, admits to suffering from the legendary meat sweats, and somehow turns dipping sauces into a competitive sport.As if things weren't chaotic enough, Yellowstone provides one of the wildest viral videos of the week when an agitated bison launches a grandfather several feet into the air after a campsite encounter. The crew breaks down exactly what happened, why wildlife deserves way more personal space than tourists seem willing to give it, and why surviving a bison toss wasn't even the only animal-related headline making newsDanny McBride is writing a brand-new G.I. Joe movie. That's enough to send every child of the '80s and '90s into a nostalgic spiral, so naturally the gang spends way too much time debating what made the original cartoons great, why the previous movies never quite landed, and whether nostalgia is actually making a comeback or if we're all just getting old.Chef Liz from Tenacious Eats rolls into the studio with a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed dinner preview... and an actual Michelangelo joins the show. Suddenly we're talking Jim Henson costumes, pizza, arcade cabinets, Foot Clan hideouts, movie trivia, and enough food to make every listener immediately hungry.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television. There are passionate debates about depressing movies, surprisingly heartfelt tributes to entertainment legends, and several moments where everyone completely loses the plot.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Tourist Seriously Injured After Yellowstone Bison Launches Man 8 Feet In The AirBull gores runner in the face at Spain's San Fermin bull run festival, 12 others hurtRyanair passenger partially sucked out of window on flight from GreeceOklahoma woman, the last American in an iron lung, dies at 78Palm Harbor woman arrested for threatening to kill man, says ‘that's just what girls do': deputiesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Some episodes have a theme.This one has approximately fourteen.The crew starts by diving headfirst into one of the biggest surprise entertainment stories we've heard in a while: Danny McBride is writing a brand-new G.I. Joe movie. That's enough to send every child of the '80s and '90s into a nostalgic spiral, so naturally the gang spends way too much time debating what made the original cartoons great, why the previous movies never quite landed, and whether nostalgia is actually making a comeback or if we're all just getting old.Then things somehow get even weirder.Chef Liz from Tenacious Eats rolls into the studio with a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed dinner preview... and an actual Michelangelo joins the show. Suddenly we're talking Jim Henson costumes, pizza, arcade cabinets, Foot Clan hideouts, movie trivia, and enough food to make every listener immediately hungry.There are handmade pizzas, Japanese-inspired dishes, surprise menu items, beer pairings, cheesecake, pizza rolls, and enough delicious descriptions that someone is probably ordering lunch halfway through the episode.Of course, because this is The Rizzuto Show, absolutely none of these conversations stay on the rails for very long.The gang also wanders into Disney live-action remake debates, celebrity movie failures, action figures, arcade memories, childhood movie trauma, random impressions, and the kind of sarcastic arguments only longtime friends can have. Every tangent somehow creates three more tangents until nobody remembers how the conversation started.It's exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you've come to expect.If you're looking for a daily comedy podcast filled with pop culture commentary, hilarious stories, nostalgic movie talk, celebrity news, and friends making each other laugh, you've found it. This daily comedy podcast is packed with ridiculous conversations, unexpected guests, funny opinions, and enough random chaos to keep your commute entertaining.Whether you've been listening for years or you're jumping into The Rizzuto Show for the first time, this daily comedy podcast proves once again that no topic is too small to become a twenty-minute debate once this crew gets involved.So grab some pizza, avoid the Foot Clan, and enjoy another completely unhinged morning with The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Read transcriptIn 1986, King Features looked at its stable of unrelated newspaper strip heroes and decided the responsible thing to do was throw them all in a blender. Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and the Phantom. A spaceman, a stage hypnotist, and a guy who lives in a skull-shaped cave and inherited his job from his dad got drafted into a single Saturday morning cartoon called Defenders of the Earth on the apparent theory that if the Avengers could do a team-up, so could three guys who had never met before that year and shared nothing except a syndicate contract. Then, because nothing from the '80s was allowed to stay just a cartoon, Defenders of the Earth became a video game in 1990, courtesy of Enigma Variations, for the exact kind of home computer that made you type a magic incantation and wait: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga, and, for the three people on Earth who owned one, the SAM Coupé. You play Flash, sneaking through Ming's castle dodging security cameras, occasionally calling in Mandrake or the Phantom to open doors, because apparently that's what magic and jungle-honed strength were for in these days. Helping make sense of this glorious pile of licensed heroes is Ryan Estrada, who's written comics for Star Trek, Popeye, Garfield, and, fittingly, Flash Gordon itself, having contributed to Papercutz's newer Flash Gordon Adventures line. Ryan's also built a reputation for tucking real hidden puzzles and messages directly into his comic pages, in plain sight, daring anyone paying close enough attention to find them. Which feels like exactly the right skillset for an episode about a security system that apparently only a few specific comic strip disciplines can defeat. So track down a joystick you no longer own, adjust to a universe where Flash Gordon answers to a management structure that includes a professional hypnotist, and let's find out whether the Defenders of the Earth earned their game, or whether Earth would've been just fine handling Ming on its own. Learn such things as: Is it really a team game if you only get to play as one member? Why should you learn another language that uses a different alphabet? What are some of the special rules with making licenses comics? And so much more! You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com.

We welcome game designer Aubrey Rugroden to the show this week to talk about how she's approached designing for multiple genres. Some of her work has been on the GTA/Goat Simulator-inspired Pigeon Simulator, the turn-based strategy game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, and the hand-drawn metroidvania GNAW. (Wow was that a lot of hyphens or what?) Aubrey tells us about her time studying at Digipen Institute of Technology, understanding every aspect of gamedev to communicate with your teammates, and the appeal of great box art. Featuring music from Isaac Jupp!LINKS:

Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a tremendous trio! Join Tricky, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Saros, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Marvel’s Blade. What’s more, we delve into Sony Computer Entertainment’s decisions to shut down the PS3 digital store and to cease disc production for PlayStation games (in 2028). Sony need to clarify if this is games published by Sony or all games published for PlayStation consoles. As you might imagine, Sony’s announcement has caused a firestorm of chatter on the Internet. And Sony are certainly taking their lumps. Despite a wide proliferation of digital sales, we all know people who have sworn allegiance to physical media — and they will die on that hill. 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!

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.

In today's show David and Scott remember which pro surfer launched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and his connection to a murderous jewel thief, they revisit the origin story of Cloud 9 and mythical lore that's drawn the WSL to it's fabled reef, discuss the major shake up in the WSL rankings, reflect on how tragedy can spark reinvention and drive to succeed, and finally identify the definitive best surfer on the planet. Plus Dukes, Kooks, and more! Enjoy!
Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a tremendous trio! Join Matt, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Starfox, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Grand Theft Auto VI. What’s more, we lament layoffs at Bungie and Electronic Arts, and we delve into pricing options for Valve’s Steam Machine. We know that gaming has never been cheap, but we’re getting sick of all these price increases. If prices continue on an upward trajectory, at this rate, then it becomes harder (and harder) to blame consumers for tightening their spending.

The year was 1990 and one of the greatest kids tv shows became a live action movie....The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Some deemed this film too dark for kids though, was it? Check out this episode for our thoughts!
Today on part two of an encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to returning guest, voice actor Cam Clarke, who we know from last week's episode is perhaps 1/37th of the massive "First Family of Song", the King Family. We recorded this episode just before Cam's massive coffee table book, Not Their All Here: the King Family: Over 100 years of Entertainment from America's First Family of Song was released in 2025. It's one heck of a book that covers a century of music and performance from literally generations of this family who started in vaudeville and somehow goes all the way though to video games. It's a wild and often untold story. We spent some time on King family / Cam Clarke specific projects like his main gig as the voice actor behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character Leonardo for more than 30+ years, performing in the Mormon/Christian rock opera Saturday's Child, written by his brother Lex de Azevedo at 16 years old, his father, actor Robert Clarke who is star of an iconic B-movie, his bizarrely hilarious interaction with Jeff Goldblum, a surreal and wonderful meeting with a cast member of One Day at a Time and stalkers. Ooooooo, scary. So take a listen to part two of our conversation with guest Cam Clarke on his return visit to the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. Ah, but do you have 37 of them? Now therein lies the rub.
In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker break down JJ's wild one-day trip from Fargo to Los Angeles to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in an immersive Cosm shared reality theater experience. JJ and his sister Chrissy wake up at 3:30 in the morning, fly from Fargo to Minneapolis to Los Angeles, visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, stop by Hollywood landmarks like the Dolby Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel, and the El Capitan Theatre, and then head to Inglewood for a one-of-a-kind dome screening of the first Harry Potter movie. The episode digs into what makes the Cosm Harry Potter experience feel different from IMAX, 3D, VR, or traditional moviegoing. JJ describes the huge dome screen, the expanded Hogwarts environments, the flying Hogwarts letters, the Quidditch match, floating candles in the Great Hall, and the idea of "shared reality" as a new way to experience movies with an audience. JJ and Tucker also talk about the future of immersive cinema, whether movies like The Matrix, Jurassic Park, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Wizard of Oz, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey would work in formats like Cosm or IMAX, and why familiar movies might be the perfect fit for this kind of expanded theatrical presentation.

This week I tell Julius all about Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond Turtle Team-Up, a cooperative M:tG game where up to four players each control one of four Ninja Turtle-themed decks against random boss enemies and event cards. Defeat the first boss and two more jump in; beat those and you face all three at once. I've been enjoying it two-handed solo, even if it has very limited appearl.

Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a terrific twosome! Join Tricky and Matt as they discuss, among other things, 007 First Light, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Grand Theft Auto VI. What’s more, we delve into Electronic Arts’ reveal of EA Advertising, a platform to help put ads in your games, and we lament the loss of Xbox studio and Senua’s Saga developer Ninja Theory. Hellfire! Drat! Darn you, Microsoft! The Ninja Theory team was lauded for its work on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, DmC, and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Microsoft must have the Grim Reaper on speed dial. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming! As usual, the news is full of surprises.

Today on part one of an encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to returning guest, voice actor Cam Clarke who is one part of "The First Family of Song", The King Family. We spoke to Cam once before but this time, we spoke to him on the eve of his book Not Their All Here: the King Family: Over 100 years of Entertainment from America's First Family of Song being released. At 312 pages, this coffee table book is a whopper of book, with tons of photos, antidotes, stories that span Vaudeville & radio in the early days to film & television in the 1960s as well as Broadway, cartoons, sci-fi B-movies and even video games. It's a fantastic book that Cam assembled himself with help from his famous family. Cam spoke to us about his own career as well as his family's which somewhat begins and ends with being one of the most iconic voice actors of the last 30 years or so. For now generations of fans, Cam is the voice of Leonardo, from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We spoke more about his time meeting his fans at ComiCon events and offshoots where kids and occasionally fans who are who are on the Autism Spectrum Disorder connect with meeting their favorite star in ways that are heart-warming and beautiful. We also spoke to Cam about his connections to other guests of the podcast (some family, some not) and learn the story of his famous family which numbered at one time well in the thirties. And how did they get paid? We discuss. Be it a Vegas showroom, the set of a television show or a soundstage, Cam gives us a first-hand look into what it was like being a child star within a family of stars. Take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast.
