Comic Timing Extra Point – Episode 12: Fan Films and Power Rangers

Leave a comment

HipHopKido

Earlier this week, producer Adi Shankar and director Joseph Kahn put their 15 minute fan film Power/Rangers on the web. Three days later, the film has been taken off of both YouTube and Vimeo due to copyright claims by Saban Brands and its lawyers. You can still find the movie on Facebook, of which Shankar thanks for not bending to the copyright claim.

Ian is joined by The Black Box’s Shawn Pryor and Ignorant Bliss‘ Julian Lytle for this Extra Point to discuss the star-studded short in full (James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff, seriously!), what some of the original Rangers thought about the short, along with where we think the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot may go as a film, what fan films mean to the industry as a whole, what it takes to make a mature film versus a mature content film, and a whole lot more where that came from!

Comic Timing Episode 165 – Part 2: Spider-Man Movie News, 2014 Wrap-Up Conclusion and More

Leave a comment

Double the pleasure, double the fun! Not only do you get two episodes in a matter of days, but this episode itself is two episodes in one! First, Kris and Ian talk all about the Spider-Man movie franchise news, including his appearance in the Marvel Movie Universe, plus Kevin Feige’s involvement in future Sony Spider-Man movies. We also discuss the Miles Morales vs. Peter Parker movie debate, the Fantastic Four trailer and how it will more than likely not be for us, Michael Fassbender potentially playing Boba Fett, Ian finally watching Blade for the first time, Peggy Carter: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (both Kris’ praise, and Brent’s dislike from a pre-show conversation), The Walking Dead (SPOILERS) and more!

We then segue into the rest of our Best and Worst of 2014, questions 8-15, featuring Ian, Brent, Brandon, Chad and Yanni. Expect things to be just as grumpy, exhausted and insane as they were in Part 1. It’s a mess, but in a good way. Enjoy!

Episode 165 is all about wrapping up the year 2014! And we do it in style, with an Ornery Brent, a somewhat calm Ian, a quiet Chad Burdette, a shot drinking Michael Yanni, and a Toys R’ Us Brandon Christopher. Which is the standard Brandon Christopher. We go over the first half of our yearly comic book questionnaire here; the rest will be covered in part 2, which should be out in about a week’s time. Keep and eye out!

Cuz we think we can do it better! Rick Gordon of the Pop Cult Online Power Hour joins in on the conversation, giving his unique opinions on Vulture’s attempt, plus his usual brand of quips and musings. Over three hours of comic book conversation goodness right here. What better way to ring in the New Year, eh?

Comic Timing – Episode 163: NYCC 2014 Interviews

Leave a comment

IanObama

Here we are with all the interviews that were conducted at the 2014 New York Comic Con. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jeremy Dale, who passed away suddenly last week at the young age of 34. Jeremy not only was a friend of the show but a personal friend of mine. Without Jerem’y smiling face at the end of an artist alley aisle, the comic industry is worse off for it. If you would like to help support Jeremy’s wife Kelly and the family as a whole in their time of need, please do check out Jeremy’s GoFundMe page. It would be greatly appreciated.

Back to the show itself, here is a full list of everyone who appears on this episode:

CA_Supermovies_10-28-2014-2

Comic Book movies are coming! In full force! Put yourself in cryostasis now. Brandon, Brent and Ian go movie by movie in chronological order for DC and Marvel, with a little bit of Sony (if it happens) and FOX (please fail Fantastic Four) thrown in for good measure. We’re a little more sour on the DC stuff, but try to stay as even-handed as possible. What do we expect from movies like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Justice League, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Avengers: Infinity War? Listen in to find out! We also touch on Constantine, The Flash, Arrow, Gotham and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the last few minutes of the show. And thanks to Comics Alliance for the movie infographic.

Well, the New York Comic Con has come and gone once again. Time to talk about it in depth! Kris and Ian do just that, and a virtual bag of chips. Topics include swag obtained, cosplay seen, how the floor plan has changed over the years, some gripes that occurred over the weekend, how Javits North is the only place worth going to the bathroom, panels attended, and more! And more includes Ian’s experience at the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited Plus panel, where he got to see a bunch of stuff you guys won’t see for a few more months! Hint: Peggy likes to dance, Ant-Man is tiny, and ULTRON HAS NO STRINGS.

Comic Timing – Episode 160: Ethnicity and Race In Comics

Leave a comment

apokolipsnew11_

The spiritual sequel to our Religion in Comics episode is finally here! Brent and Ian are joined by Brandon Christopher (for technically the third episode in a row if you count 159 Part A and B as two separate episodes) and Julian Lytle to discuss ethnicity and race in comics. How have comics evolved in their portrayal of people of color over the years? What still needs to be done to improve things further? How about creators of color getting their foot in the door of a predominantly white industry? Who are some of our favorite ethnically diverse creators? Is it a good idea to take originally white characters and reintroduce them as black, Asian, or otherwise, or is legacy the way to go? We go into all of this and more here. Listen in, and enjoy. This one is an instant favorite of the crew.
