  • Dragged out content

    Just too much silence for a podcast for my taste. Content is dragged out with voices that can put you to sleep.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1021: Episode 1021-Jason Interviews Jim Fletcher-Flippitoons Odditome of Deadlies and Dreadlies Volume 1-Clover Press
Q: Jim, what are Flippitoons?
Flippitoons are monster-faced scaracters that can be flipped to reveal different creatures, with rhymes that match when read in either direction, forming a unique, interactive storytelling experience.
Episode 1017: Episode 1017-Surviving Comics, Super Image, Monstress, Powers + Sneak Peek at Next Week w/Kyle & Drew
Q: If you had to live in one comic universe, which would you choose and how long do you realistically survive?
They speculate about survival prospects in various universes, ranking factors like infrastructure, safety, and the main threats, with playful bets on how long each host would last.
Episode 1016: Episode 1016-Jason Interviews Kel McDonald - Shards of Reflection
Q: What is Shards of Reflection about?
It's about a young vampire named Mina who is trying to figure out how she became a vampire, and because vampires in this world absorb memories from their victims, Mina struggles to distinguish her own memories from others' memories, making her an unreliable narrator.
Episode 1014: Episode 1014-Jason Interviews Gavin Hignight and Chris “Doc” Wyat Kolchak: The Night Stalker Action Figure Kickstarter
Q: Did you know from the start you wanted to do a six-inch Kolchak figure rather than a different scale?
Yes, we knew six-inch was the target; it allows deeper detail on Carl Kolchak and a more personal interaction with the character, while still integrating with the broader monster toy landscape.
Episode 1014: Episode 1014-Jason Interviews Gavin Hignight and Chris “Doc” Wyat Kolchak: The Night Stalker Action Figure Kickstarter
Q: Are you able to talk about how you worked out getting the rights to Kolchak for the likeness?
We went through James because it's licensed to Jeff Rice, which aligns the Kolchak figure with the comic license as well, letting us extend the Kolchak story into action figure form with a compatible license ecosystem.
