This Is Rad!

Kyle, Matthew, Rivers, Carter, and Taylor have returned from their pee break and finish their year in radview...

 

from pt. 1:

This week Kyle and Matthew banish 2020 back to the hell from whence it came! They do so with the help of Rivers Langly and Carter Glasscock from The Goods from the Woods and Taylor V-H. They discuss the year that was and reminisce about TV, movies, video games, and music that came out. They also share their personal ups and downs over the year and how they all learned and adapted to some real sudden changes in plans for the year. They also share things they are grateful for and look at how they learned and grew through this experience.

 

We split this ep into 2 parts because five hours seemed like a bit much for one episode even by our standards....

 

This Is Rad is grateful to our listeners for letting us be a part of your 2020. From Kyle, Matthew, and Laura, along with the rest of the TIR family, thank you.

Sometimes after nearly 7 years of podcasting you realize there are topics you still haven't done. This is one of those days. This week Kyle and Matthew welcome on Erid D from MethSyndicate (@MethSyndicate on instagram) for a chat about one of the all time greatest punk bands (and t-shirt manufacturers) The Misfits. Turns out three old punk dudes have some fun takes. Do we make fun of Danzig? Do we cover the Graves era? Do we explore how important weight lifting is to being in this band? You'll have to listen and find out. (Also, yes.)

This week on the show Kyle and Matthew hang with their dear friend Keith Carey. It was recorded on the evening of 11/2/20. It comes out 11/4/20. We figured we could all use a human moment so we hung out and now you're hanging with us too. Pass the chips when you get a chance BTW. Regardless of the madness of the world, we all got each other and I can't think of a crew I'd rather be with. Stay safe. Stay sane. Stay rad.

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by the always wonderful Robert Ahn for a chat about the Japanese television series Documental. Robert has been a fan of the work of Hitoshi Matsumoto for many years and Documental has been the first (legal) way for folks in the US to see one of Matsumoto's game shows translated with subtitles. We discuss the madness that is this show. If you are a fan of jackass but wish it had more gambling, the show is worth checking out. That said, if you do not enjoy gross out humor or general weirdness, def proceed with caution but still enjoy the episode cause we got some solid ass tangents.

Kyle - Haunted Hayride Covid Edition (halloween attraction)

 

Matt - The American BBQ Showdown (Netflix show)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by James D Hillmer for a chat about Korean actor Kang-ho Song. James is currently in a doctoral program studying Korean culture and suggested using Kang-ho Song to explore the world of Korean cinema. In the last few decades, Korean cinema has risen to international prominence. While early breakouts like Oldboy or The Host appealed to genre fans, the 2019 best picture win for Parasite shows just how much impact Korean cinema is having around the world. If you're unfamiliar with Korean cinema or saw Parasite and want to see more, this isn't a bad place to start.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle – Bill and Ted Face the Music (movie)

Matthew – Close Enough (show)

James – Rough Company (game) and I'm Thinking of Ending Things (movie)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by comedian and one third The Goods from the Woods, Carter Glasscock to chat about Starcraft and the general pleasure of 90's/00's PC gaming. Carter is no expert in Starcraft and we will definitely return to the subject in greater detail in an episode down the line but for this week we had a great chat about old school PC gaming in all it's glory. It ultimately becomes a fun chat about video games with some wild tangents as we go. A real thisisrad-ass ep of This is Rad.

This week we continue our makeshift “Summer of Indoors” series with a visit from past guest and friend of the show Alexis Quasarano to chat about the classic children's science education series The Magic School Bus. But we're not just talking about Miss Frizzle and her students adventures through the body and into outer space in book form. We're not just chatting about the TV show and it's banger of a theme song. But today, to fit with our theme, we are looking at The Magic School Bus through the lens of their 90's CD-Rom games. Lot going on this episode, but a good time is had by all.

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.

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 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)

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Emily Walsh to chat about her recent dabblings in lego stop motion. During the big Q Emily has taken some old legos she and her boyfriend had in their apartment and began experimenting with stop motion animation. Her skills as a set designer helped her create some great sets and a book gave her all the start out info she needed to get started. This is a super fun episode and we hope it inspires you to go out and try something creative you've always dreamed of trying. Also, since this episode, Kyle has been trying his hand at lego animation as well, using the same book and app that Emily did. Spoiler, Emily is way better at it, but it has been a fun learning experience.

Check out Emily's lego videos on her Instagram: @thefunnywalsh

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by comedian and musician Mike Valdes for a chat about ABC's Friday night programing block from the 90's, TGIF. This is a spiritual sequel to our Family Matters episode from years ago. We still find time to riff on Family Matters but we also explore the rest of TGIF's classics. Did Hanging with Mr. Cooper have one of the most underrated theme songs of all time? How many times did Boy Meets World completely change what kind of show it was? And did Salem the taking cat somehow topple the TGIF empire? All these questions and more will be explored.

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by the one and only Lisa Curry. Lisa hasn't been on since our last boats episode because she spent most of last year traveling the world and doing stand up. But now she's back in LA and since we're all stuck inside we asked her to come on and catch up. Turns out before comedy Lisa dabble in home remodeling and since being quarantined, she been turning those skills towards her apartment. Lisa also recorded her first comedy album last year and her and Kyle discuss the process of finishing a record.

 

Also, after everything working smoothly for the last few eps, we had some tech issues. The recording cuts out and Burnside's place loses power a few times, but we stick the landing, plus, it's been a while since we've had an excuse to break out the segue music, so that's fun.

 

Weekly Rads:

Lisa – Long Walks (activity)

 

Kyle – Star Trek Voyager (show)

 

Burnside – Jack Frost (movie, the horror one)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by podcast rival Adam Murray, only this time he isn't the game master, he's playing the game with us! That's because This is Rad has gotten itself an official Game Master: Game Master Ryan. Ryan got in contact with us and inquired about writing tabletop campaigns for the show, we jumped at the chance and he put together the weird and wonderful adventure you're going to hear today. We look forward to more tabletop games in the future now that we have GM Ryan onboard. Plus, the group try a new game system, Monster of the Week (which, is, in fact, rad). So grab some snacks, dim the lights and strap in for a rousing adventure!

Kyle and Matthew are joined by their podcast friends from the great white north Richard Eden and Reid Vanier of the Doctor DC podcast. Together they celebrate the great perennial number two of the comic book industry, DC Comics. Now, we know what you're thinking “make mine Marvel or GTFO” but hear us out... What if DC was secretly the coolest comic book company and we all just never noticed? Turns out beyond Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman there is a dense and rich history of really cool (and often really WEIRD) characters and stories. If you've never been into DC or have wondered where to start, we give some fun ideas. If you're a longtime DC fan, we go deep on some fun stuff in the DC canon. We also for sure missed some stuff because the DC universe is vast, so tweet at us with YOUR favorite DC books or let us know if you end up checking out anything we recommend. A fun episode with some delightful Canadians!

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome Tara McKinney to the show. Kyle met Tara years ago when she started working as a camera operator on Talking Dead. Over the years they've become friends and it turns out Tara is a hell of a writer. This is her first podcast and while we never quite nailed down a topic we ended up on a pretty solid groove for a conversation. The title comes from the fact that if Kyle or Matt got too nerdy Tara would just space out and think about girls. She's really fun and this was a great last episode before rad goes into quarantine.

 

Concerning all the health issues, This Is Rad wants to you know we've set up plans so that unless like the whole grid goes down, we will still be bringing you episodes every week. What those look like is going to be a fun learning experience for all of us, but we just want you to know that for as long as every body is cooped up at home (or out in the world, if you're still out working) that we will be right here with you. Everybody stay safe and go wash your hands.

Kyle, Matthew, and Laura

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome Khalid Salaam for a chat about the living dead and their place in pop culture. Khalid explains his parents unorthodox use of horror movies as a tool for punishing him as a child. But that which scares you as a kid often draws you in with fascination as you get older. Kyle and Khalid have worked together in various capacities over the years and despite the fact that they both work on a show about re-animated corpses, they explore a much broader scope of the zombie. We talk classic (and underrated) movies. The best (and not the best) video games. Turns out there are books about zombies. There is a lot of zombie media out there to choose from and they give you some picks for their favorites. But part of the appeal of the zombie narrative is the concept of “survival horror” and the boys explore this topic quite a bit as well. Plus, we got our fair share of hot riffs. Even if you are sick to death of zombie BS in pop culture this episode might remind you that there was once a time where the “Z” word did no elicit groans and eye rolls. Go back with us to a simpler time...

This week, Kyle and Matthew try something a little different. They welcome Anna Jean to the studio, a comedian whom neither Kyle or Matt had met before. She'd contacted Kyle about doing the show after a previous guest said doing This Is Rad is a fun time. A couple of FB messages later and here we are. After about five minutes you'd have no idea that we'd never met Anna before because everybody becomes best friends as we riff on video games, comedy, and her topic Cooking. Anna's mom tried to each her some classic Haitian dish when she was growing up and she wasn't interested, now she spends a ton of her time trying to learn to cook via youtube. It's a fun journey from a very funny comedian and a new member of the extended TIR family.

This week on the show Kyle and Matthew sit down for a KING SIZED inaugural episode of our Listener Questions series. Last ep of the month we will answer questions that you paid us a dollar (or five dollars) to ask. And we answer a whole heck of a lot of them (something like over fifty but less than sixy). This was super fun!!! You guys are great and we thank you for your questions and we thank the folks who didn't ask questions just for listening. Also, for real, this could have gone longer but Kyle had to leave to go see his brother's band play. But three and a half hours seems pretty reasonable. Please enjoy and if you have your own burning questions head over to our Patreon and holla at us!

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome their dear old friend, photographer Billy Small. Billy has worked with Kyle and Matt many times in the past and ALWAYS makes them laugh. After years of doing the podcast they were both very excited to have him on. What follows is some podcast silliness. The topic is Fly Fishing but you're probably not going to learn a lot about fly fishing, but if you enjoy listening to a bunch of people get silly, this ep is gonna be a good time.

 

Also, if you are on the Patreon, make sure to get our questions in for our first “Listener Questions” episode next week!

This week on the show Kyle is solo as he chat with his friend comedian Amanda Cohen about going under the sea with a self contained underwater breathing apparatus. She recounts her globe trotting adventures, resorts designed entirely around SCUBA diving, and the terrors too much nitrogen can do to your body. Plus, Amanda ran a Weird Al convention in Chicago and we talk about it. Fun and education episode!

No! Don't run away! This is a super interesting episode I swear! For a few years Kyle has been trying to get our guest Ray Camacho to come on for this topic. Ray is in a super rad band called Sacer and studied theology in college. These two passions have lead to him having an impressive knowledge of faith based punk bands. Religious punk has been around almost as long as punk. The idea feels inherently contradictory and yet numerous subcultures and subgenres exist and thrive today. We chat about different faiths and the bands that have come out representing them. We also just have some interesting chats about the ideas of religion and the complicated relationship between religion and culture. Its a different kind of episode but I swear it's got lots of good bits and riffs.

 

Also, we want to once again take a second and thank everyone who has joined our Patreon. We are so overwhelmed by your incredible support!

 

 

Weekly Rads

 

Kyle – The Troop by Nick Cutter (book)

 

Burnside – Waffle House Coffee mugs (object)

 

Laura – The Witcher 3 (video game)

 

Ray – Cheer (netflix series)

 

also as a group rad, Mexican food sure is great!

As is tradition, a new numbered Star Wars film has been released, we have waited a month, and now we have gathered with our official Star Wars experts Klee Wiggins and Ed Greer for a rousing chat about the state of the Star Wars universe. This is the first time we've all gotten together since The Last Jedi so expect some chat about Solo. Plus, some Star Wars show on a Disney streaming service appears to be pretty good. This episode isn't so much a review as much as an excuse to really get in an dissect the evolution of the most popular film franchise of all time and what it means to be a franchise in 2020.

 

Weekly Rads

 

Kyle – Prescription Sunglasses (cool thing) and the new Season of Hip Hop Evolution (show)

 

Burnside – Curb Your Enthusiasm (show)

 

Klee – Dracula (new BBC/Netflix series)

This week on the show Kyle and Matthew are joined by the Goods From The Woods (Rivers Langley, Carter Glasscock, and Sam Harter) for a look back at the 2010's. They put together some best of lists for movies, music, TV, video games, books, comics, and a whole lot of other stuff. The last ten years had a pretty profound effect on everyone on this episode and they explore where they were 10 years ago versus now. It's a long one but it's a heck of a ride. Oh, they also talk about Cats for a while up top.

 

Instead of a weekly rad this week we ask that you donate to the family of Matthew's friend Zach Reed who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident shortly after Christmas.
