Even more reference materials to keep you in the loop!
Episode 5: Doctor Radd!
Derivative work of genius or crappy Doctor Who fan fiction? We discuss the new Silver Surfer comic and its roots in the framework of Doctor Who (hint: we love it).
Also: Gedge finally watched Django Unchained, and true to Gedge-form he totally doesn’t understand Tarantino, but John attempts to educate him, and Wes Craven died, so that sucks. Plus: Doctor Who as a woman? I say.
Wes Craven 1939 – 2015
Well, this is a bummer. Wes Craven has passed away at the age of 76. Apparently he was fighting brain cancer, which was also news to me.
Craven was a fascinating staple of the horror genre: a college professor who quit his job to direct movies, starting with porn, moving to exploitation flicks, and moving into one of the most recognizable faces in cinema.
I Broke Wet Hot: A Review
Editor’s Note: Welcome our newest ICBIS team member: Ryan Brooks!
So Netflix is slowly buying up real estate on the pop culture landscape. I for one welcome our new streaming overlords- and it wasn’t this year’s excellent made-for-Netflix Daredevil show that won me over. It was Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.
Episode 4: Reference Materials
As always, here’s some extra media to back up the podcast discussions. We don’t want anyone to feel out of the loop, but if you are, we want to make sure you have access to stupid crap we do. The best part of any podcast is learning or be exposed to something new. So, you’re welcome.
Episode 4: If It Pees, We Can Kill It
We’re back again with this week’s podcast! You think we’re being reckless talking about horror films before labor day? Screw that noise, we’re all over it.
Episode 3: Reference Materials
Here are some supplementary items for the latest podcast episode (Hipster Superheroes) to keep you in the loop and give you some context.
Episode 3: Hipster Superheroes
We’re back for our third episode. I’m a little bit more awake in this one, and Gedge is as angry and clueless as always. In this one we catch up on last week’s news and answer the big question: can Kurt Russell still pull off Snake Plissken?
Also, we hate hipster millennial bullshit, but we love the new Batgirl comic. Listen to why we think it’s cool even though we’re not 16 year old girls. We also get around to answering a listener question.
D23 Roundup: Marvel
Continuing our (delayed) coverage of Disney’s D23 Expo, let’s take a look at all the goodies (or lack thereof) Marvel brought to the masses.
D23 Roundup: Star Wars
Disney’s D23 Expo (D23 is Disney’s fan club, referencing 1923, the year Walt Disney arrived in California and started his studio) came and went this past weekend, giving us some insights on upcoming Disney projects ranging from theme parks, to animation, to live action movies. This is exciting to us, because that means we got new details on new Marvel and Star Wars crap coming down the pipe. As neither Gedge or I were able (or willing) to attend the conference, here’s what we heard second hand.
It's Cool, But It Sucks.
