The Rock Nerd Radio Show

Ben joins the show for another episode! This time, Dan and Ben discuss their top 5 favorite Generation 1 Transformers. Both hosts have enjoyed the brand for as far back at they can recall, and they ended up showcasing two lists. One is a top 5 from when they were kids, and the other is a top 5 as adults. Both lists have some quirks to them, which makes for a fun conversation. So join us for this episode, and let us know who some of your favorite Transformers are! 

Peter James from Manic Kat Records stops by again to discuss the very busy year that Manic Kat has been having. There;s even some exclusive news from the label that you are hearing here for the first time! Dan and Pete also take a bit of a dive into some Avengers: Doomsday talk. All this and more on this episode of The Rock Nerd Radio Show!

Happy Halloween! Dan is joined by Gavin from the Zeroes of Wrestling podcast for what has become a tradition on The Rock Nerd Radio Show. Each Halloween we take a look at various animated versions of Dracula and this year we head on over to DC Comics to watch The Batman vs Dracula. Released in 2005, this version of Dracula finds him waking up in Gotham City to face the Dark Knight. This movie also drags in a few of the more colorful characters from Gotham, making for an interesting, if not at times very kid friendly watch. What do we think of it? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out! 

Dan sits down with Large Anthony from the Tats, Toons and Toys YouTube Channel to discuss his upcoming vintage toy show, Toy Island. Even though this show isn't happening until next July, Large Anthony already has most of the space booked up with vendors from all over the country, and some from other countries! Toy Island is shaping up to be an amazing show. Get the inside scoop and learn a little bit about what Large Anthony collects, all on this episode of The Rock Nerd Radio Show!

Dan is joined by his friend Ben to remember the life and career of Peter Cullen. While he may be best known for his role as Optimus Prime, Mr. Cullen had a gigantic list of voice acting credits to his name. Dan and Ben discuss some favorites from Peter's acting history in this episode. Some may surprise you. Some might be new to you. 

Dan is joined by John, the owner of The Imperial Castle Toy Shop in Pawling, NY! Together, they chat about how John opened the store, and what went into it. John prides himself on being very fair when buying and selling collectables, and he shares some stories highlighting that. John also shares some of the things he collects and his personal rules he holds close when it comes to collecting. If you find yourself in the area of The Imperial Castle, and you're into vintage toys, you need to stop by!

Dan sits down with Elijah Catrone from Father Before Me to discuss the connection between some video games and the band's music. Dan and Elijah have known each other for many years, and it's always good to catch up. Elijah opens up about not just his personal favorite video games, but the roles his parents had in his musical journey. Did you know that all of the Father Before Me EP covers have Zelda references on them? It's a fun episode with a bunch of easter eggs!

Dan sits down with comic artist Andrew Griffith to catch up and to see what's been going on in his world. Andrew stops by the show every once and again and I had a great time catching up with him. Andrew is currently one of the rotating artists working on the Boom Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic. As someone who knew Andrew's work from the Transformers comics, I was curious if Power Rangers seems like a big departure from Adnrew's previous work. We also chat about various other topics including his convention schedule and how you can connect with Andrew if you're looking for some original art. 

Dan is joined by Barbara, who hosts Shaving Cream on the Hudson River Radio Podcast network. Together they celebrate 60 years of Star Trek. Barbara is a lifelong Trekkie with an interesting story as to how she found the series. She's also codplayed for many Star Trek conventions and shares some facts about the series that surprised Dan. It's a great conversation and a great way to celebrate 60 years of bolding going where no man has gone before!

Dan is joined by his cousin through marriage, Joe to discuss their top 5 personal favorite Tim Curry roles. This list includes both live action and voice work, and it is by no means a definitive list. We just wanted to share our favorite roles from Mr. Curry as a way to remember his life and phenomenal career. What do you think, dear listener? Did we mention some of your favorite roles?
