It is an honor to have Dave on the show. He is one of my favorite comic book writers/artists and for good reason. His book Chasin' The Bird changed my perspective on reading comics and experiencing music. His artistic style is vivid and raw. It portrays so much detail beyond what you see. He came on to talk to me about his exciting new book Enter The Blue (out January 2022), his origin story on getting into comics as well as his history with music -------------------------------------------------- Join the Discord channel here Follow us on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

Steve is known as the guy that hates pineapple on pizza. Aside from being a well-accomplished tech journalist that is.  With that in mind we causally just talked about what's been keeping us up at night. Thankfully the recently released Halo Infinite Multiplayer has had no problem taking the responsibility for us. Please join me as I slowly break down Steve into accepting pineapple as a viable topping on pizza in our current society. -------------------------------------------------- Join the Discord channel here Follow us on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

A monster is haunting Ben Ramos — one that visits in his weakest moments, one that knows his every secret.

Why hasn't there been a current open-world Power Rangers game? We were close to one I'll tell ya that. Carlos was the concept artist for exactly that type of game, codenamed, Project Nomad. His designs are some of the most perfect iterations I've seen done to the MMPR team EVER! We talked about his other work such as the infamous FAKE VIDEO GAME covers. Honestly, these will make you mad they're not real, like this TMNT one or this Star Fox one Aside from his work on this, he has done so much more in the Pop Culture space. Make sure to check out his sites and more of his beautiful work -------------------------------------------------- Join the Discord channel here Follow us on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

Ian likes to write about SCARY things. Not necessarily things that go bump in the night or jump at you from the shadows though. Ian writes about the horrors of reality. Crime, Inequality, misinformation, and the things we do to ourselves as a society.  I brought Ian on to talk about THE BLIND BOX which is a monthly newsletter he does with other artists.  It contains a piece of short fiction that is inspired by (and paired with) art from extremely talented artists in the indie comics scene. Its a unique concept that you won't find anywhere else. -------------------------------------------------- Join the Discord channel here Follow us on Instagram Follow me on Twitter
