"Dancing In The Dark." "Born In The USA." Any of the one's where he counts. It hard NOT to know a Bruce Springsteen song and yet that's exactly how Joe Slepski (the JOE ON JOE podcast) spent his 1980s. So today he explains how he finally
As the theme song explained, it was “GI Joe against Cobra the enemy, fighting to save the day.” But action figure war is still action figure Hell which is why Joe Slepski sought out the more mature storylines of Marvel's comic adaptation. It
Sure, we know its not a bird and yes we know its not a plane but do we even care anymore that it's Superman? Super heroes may be more popular than ever but fewer and fewer cosplayers are donning Kryptonian tights. Well podcaster Joe Slepsk
Did you get goosebumps from scary stories told in the dark? You know, swapped sleepover tales of jilted ghosts, ghastly ghouls and various things under the bed? Or did your childhood horror haunt at a slightly diffrent pace? On today's episo
To Tim, video games have always been side scrolling plumbers chasing big mushrooms and bouncing stars. But a lot has changed since that issue of Nintendo Power and not just in the uncanny valley of graphics and game play. Eisner nominated Mer
As a life-long comics fan, Tim is thrilled to welcome Meredith Moriarty, creator of the webcomic THIRD SHIFT SOCIETY. The only thing making him nervous is how little he actually knows about webcomics. Fortunately Meredith is up for a discussi
Still waiting out the election count? Still anticipating the burning of democracy? Or did you come here for 20 minutes of escapism on the entertainment of your youth? If its that last one, then welcome comedian Candace Kregg as she recounts her
Just so you know, this episode, its interview and even these show notes were composed before yesterday's election. So, if the country is actually burning in effigy right now, that's why this show is still talking about the Martin Short film Cli
You know that movie everyone watches to make fun of, the one that’s so bad it’s good? Well, did you know it also played a crucial role in someone else’s formative years? Not as a camp classic but as an actual chart toward maturity. Comedia
Kevin Smokler and Christopher Boone have spent the week talking about the documentary that they made. But what about the documentary that they are in? VINYL NATION is an intimate look at record collecting and, since they're both fans, they c
We all know that archetype of the elite record snob. And we could even swap out the word "record" for "comic book," "film" or pretty much any pop culture affliction. But is there actually truth to that exaggerated cliché? Filmmakers Kevin Sm
With their rare releases, glorious gatefolds and sound that "just sounds better," records are a go-to metaphor for pop culture collecting. But the actual collectors are not as simple to pin down. In VINYL NATION, Christopher Boone and Kevin S
Normally you’d be hearing “Hey everyone every, my name is Tim Blevins” followed by “MENAGE A POP,” “20TH CENTURY POP!” or some other podcast with the word “pop” in it. But there’s been a glitch. Not in the Matrix but in the production of the
Friday night sleepovers almost always included a sugar high sing-along to 80s anthem "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." But its punk performer was far more than just some pajama game participant. She was a fashion icon, equal rights crusader and da
Do you fear vampires at the bus stop? Zombies in the Market Basket? Gorgons and hell hounds along your commute? We've long attributed these creatures to fantasy but how recently has that fantasy aligned with modern life? Readers call it Urb
For many of us, practicing martial arts meant cardboard throwing stars, swung about whiffle bats and loosing a tooth to a wayward Ked. Somehow fantasy author Bonita Gutierrez (THE WEREWOLF WHISPERER) managed a different understanding which lea
Who got you in High school? Nobody, right? Well, nobody except that one song, particular novel and primetime television series. Whoever wrote those didn't go to your school but somehow tapped into exactly how it felt. For podcaster Giulie S
Halloween is a pumpkin patch of memorable tv programming. But each special can't carve out the same level of childhood affection. Therefore, Giulie Speziani (ILLITERATE AGENTS) is knocking cautiously, knowing all the tricks of nostalgia but h
Transitioning into the '90s meant transitioning into new music. And while most of us were growling into Grunge, podcaster Giulie Speziani (ILLITERATE AGENTS) followed a more etherial light into that decade's dawn. It was a single, particular s
While Saturday morning had some great cartoons, Sunday had all the best comic strips. Garfield. The Far Side. Calvin And Hobbes. But buried somewhere beneath those panels was a far more secret history of sequential art. One that our intre
Rick Brooks wanted to bring home the excitement of Wrestle-mania, possibly as an adult podcaster and definitely as a child in the 1980s. The costumes. The hairstyles. Some of the actual moves. It was more spectacle than one TV could hold.
We all had our favorite afternoon tv show. And maybe an ad for our favorite toy. But did any of us really look forward to all the other commercial interruptions? Rick Brooks (BATTLE OF THE NETWORK SHOWS) did, specifically a station ID for New
We all had a favorite Disney movie or cartoon that connected with us as a kid. But that interaction would never have happened if not for the artist behind the art. And while the opening logo does cite Walt Disney, the actual minds behind it a
Its hard to be a punk rocker when your dad already has a stellar record collection. But for podcaster Heidi Bennett (VIBRANT VISIONARIES) it wasn’t just about rebellion. She was sincerely drawn to the thrift store mindset and DIY aesthetics o
Ménage Á Pop exists to explore our intimate relationships with pop culture. So when fellow podcaster Heidi Bennett (VIBRANT VISIONARIES) brought up John Waters, Tim expected a life-altering ode to cult cinema. And while it definitely had its
