This Is Rad!

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by the delightful and hilarious Andy Iwacio for a chat about the beat em up genre of video games. This classic genre has some great weirdness to explore. From mohawks to the eating food out of trashcans for heath, the beat em up's influence is still felt today in games like God of War and Dark Souls. Plus, we discuss the fine art of the DJ drop. Lot of silliness in this one. Enjoy!

 

Weekly Rads:

 

Kyle – Manga! Manga! By Frederik L Schodt (book)

 

Matthew – The Beach House (movie on Shudder) and Palm Springs (movie on Hulu)

 

Andy – Sennheiser HD25 (headphones), Crawl (movie), and I'll Be Home In The Dark (series)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by longtime friend of the show Adam Crosse. Adam has been a radster since the early days and we're very excited to finally have him on the show and as a bonus we get to talk about rad manga and anime! Adam runs us through what the hell Jojo is and we explore in detail the first few stories so if you're somebody who worries about spoilers maybe hold out until you've watched the first 3 seasons of the book or manga. But our retelling can't possibly undermine just how weird and wonderful Jojo is. So grab a mesh t-shirt, get your stand ready, and strap in for a fun episode.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Drawing / You Can Draw in 30 Days by Mark Kistler and Christopher Hart’s Humongous Book of Cartooning (books)

Matthew - RTJ4 - Run the Jewels (album)

Adam - skatoon network (YouTube Chanel)

Kyle and Matthew settle in to answer the first half of our monthly listener questions and boy howdy to they get some great questions.

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome back Tess Llanos from the Ongong Comicbook Discussion for a chat about women in the business of comic books. They highlight a few mainstream authors who have been able to break through in a big bad way and Kyle gives a nice list of amazing works from indie creators. Lot of titles get tossed around, if you're looking for something different to read, there is a pretty wild world of stuff in this episode that is, in fact, rad.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Procreate (app) and Negro Terror (band)

Burnside - Earth by Ed O’Brian (album)

Tess - Joker Harley Criminal Sanity (comic)

Ladies and gentlemen please strap in because on this episode we are going on a journey that spans the entire universe and more than 40,000 years! This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by comedian Dave Apkarian for a chat about the lore behind the popular tabletop game Warhammer 40k. Dave has gotten into miniature painting and Kyle has been fascinated by David's new hobby. After a few off mic discussion about how the Warhammer lore is pretty cool they decided an episode was in order. This is one of those episodes where Kyle and Matt hand Dave the keys and let him drive. And he sure takes us places. If you have no idea what Warhammer 40k is about (and we sure had no idea...) then this is a great primer. I'm sure it'll spark some corrections and conversations and that's half the fun of the ep. We want to eventually do separate episode on miniature painting and the game itself as well. So snuggle up and let Sad Dad Dave tell us all an epic tale from beyond the stars!

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle – The Jackass Movies (movies)

 

Burnside – Consistency! (lifestyle choice)

 

Dave – Goobertown Hobbies (youtube for model painting) and Luetin09 (youtube for Warhammer lore)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by J Gonzo for a chat about the wild world of 60's Garage rock. We explore what Garage rock is, why and how it has spread around the world, and what makes it the patient zero for so many subsequent genres of music. Becasue J Gonzo is on the show, you can also expect a pretty hefty amount of comic book talk. A super fun episode.

This week Kyle and Matt welcome back musician Eric Bryan for a chat about one of horrors most underrated directors Stuart Gordon. Sure, we all love Reanimator, and with good reason, it's awesome. But Gordon has an impressively consistent back catalogue. They explore how his years working in theater impacted his work in film. From the actors he worked with to the ways he pushed his budgets so his films always feel ambitious even when they were made for nothing, Stuart Gordon is a perfect example of how to do a lot with a little. Plus you get some riffs on basketball, the evolution of metal in the last 10 years, and dogs. A good old fashion rad and a little bit of Radtober in springtime. We hope you are all doing alright out there.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle – The Last Dance (series)

Matthew – Robbie (show)

Eric – Outbreak (movie)
