Amy Jo Johnson and Matt Hotson Talk Power Rangers: The Return
February 20, 2024 15:40 - 41 minutes - 34.5 MBI have been a Power Rangers fan since before I could even read. I grew up with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The first film was one of the first films I saw in theatres. I never really expected to end up interviewing one Ranger let alone many.

October 25, 2023 13:49 - 14 minutes - 12.6 MBDracula doesn’t suck. I’m sorry to start off with a pun about vampires but not really. Skybound has been killing it recently with getting huge IP comics with incredible creative teams.

But when they said James Tynion and Martin Simmonds were going to be unearthing Dracula, my jaw did hit the floor. You may know the team from their incredible series The Department of Truth w...
Daniel Warren Johnson Talks Transformers
October 19, 2023 13:36 - 20 minutes - 17.8 MBGrowing up, Transformers was always something I thought was cool but didn't really look into other than some figures. My closest understanding of the characters and the franchise was based on the Michael Bay films which I stopped seeing after the third installment. So I went into Skybound/Image's Energon Universe with no expectations except the ones I had for Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicer. But from the first page of their debut Transformers first issue, I was hooked. It's an incredi...
Brian Michael Bendis Chats Craft, Creating, and The Ones
September 11, 2023 13:37 - 39 minutes - 32.7 MBWhen I discuss comics with people who started reading earlier I did when it comes to Marvel Comics, they normally talk about the legendary writers they grew up with like Chris Claremont, Jimmy Starlin, and other writers who defined Marvel Comics. But I started reading comics in the late 00’s so the name that always comes to mind when it comes to character-defining writing is Brian Michael Bendis. The first Spider-Man comic I read was Ultimate Spider-Man #1 so to say that Bendis holds a spec...

Maeve Fly is the first novel from Leede and she comes out of the gates with an instant classic. I took as long as I could to read the book because I didn't want it to end. It brings a feminine spin to a story with a lead inspired by American Psycho. It makes the Sunset Strip in California a character all of its own while balan...

Danny Cage Talks Wrestling and Monster Factory
March 17, 2023 15:43 - 33 minutes - 29.3 MBTypically, I set up interviews on my own. I either have to somehow connect with the person on social media, go through a PR company, or send a cold email to hope for the best. This interview isn't that.

Stephen Graham Jones Interview
February 08, 2023 14:58 - 41 minutes - 37 MBSlashers are my comfort horror. I love slashers and have since I was too young to see them when they played late at night on HBO. So many of them follow certain tropes that everyone knows. One of which is the sequel. The sequel always has to be bigger, better, and more violent. But with Stephen Graham Jone's sequel to My Heart is a Chainsaw, all of that is true but it's so much more with Don't Fear the Reaper. Stephen Graham Jones stopped by for an interview about the trilogy, slashers, an...
The People's Joker Interview with Vera Drew
February 01, 2023 14:24 - 48 minutes - 43.3 MBThe People’s Joker is a masterpiece. It’s a rude queer coming of age story unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Watching the film let me see stories that I personally couldn’t experience and see perspectives outside my own.

The director and co-writer Vera Drew said something during the post Q&A that has stuck with me since. She spoke about how ...

Avatar
December 16, 2022 15:02 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBIn 2009, James Cameron looked at his record breaking film Titanic's box office success and whispered to himself in his castle in the sky that "it's not enough". In that moment, he released Avatar which to this day is the highest grossing motion picture of all time. No amount of Avengers, Spider-Men, or Hamlet adaptations can hold a candle to the piles of money that Avatar raked in. But since, the film has fallen far from the favor of many film goers. They make cheap comparisons of this hera...

Interview with a Scream King Josh Ruben
December 07, 2022 14:55 - 45 minutes - 38.1 MBComedy as a genre relies very heavily on timing to deliver jokes at a full impact. Horror also relies very heavily on timing as well to deliver jump scares or truly unsettling scenes.

He has moved over from being Precious Plum's Mama to being the king of Shudder. On today's show, Josh Ruben chats...
