Hey everybody! I invited a new guest to the show for a special occasion. August has been deemed #JackKirbyMonth (by the powers that be on Twitter), and I couldn't let it slip away without talking some Kirby on the podcast (technically this episode won't drop until September 3rd, but just use your imagination). Joining me this time, is a Kirby enthusiast that loves the King's crazier, later work (like the book we're covering today) Charlton Hero! CH has been a good friend of mine on the Twitters ...

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of the show. This time around my buddy Herman Louw and I will be discussing a classic horror film in The Wicker Man (1973). But, we'll also be talking about the remake from 2006 as well (Yes, the bees!). The original stars one of our all time favorite horror actors, in Christopher Lee! This film is one of a kind, and really ramped up the craziness, especially in the folk horror sub-genre. As usual, you can contact the show by email at Magazinesandmo...

Hey everybody! In this fun episode, I had my buddy Clinton Robison ( Coffee and Comics , Days of High Adventure ) stop in, and we both love to talk some Conan, so we chatted about one of our favorite stories! This character had a great run at Marvel comics, with not only a conventional comic book, but also in the line of black and white magazines as well! We'll talk about this story, and our thoughts in general on Conan and the sword and sorcery genre as well! As usual, you can contact the show ...

Hey everybody, get ready for another episode of Magazines and Monsters! This episode is one I've been really looking forward to because I was able to sit down with my good pal, Professor Alan, from the Relatively Geeky Network! And as he's contractually obligated to do so, we had to talk about Dr. Doom! This story is one that is part of the character's incredible foundation, and is a must read (Astonishing Tales 8, 1971, Gene Colan Tribute book, 2008). As usual, you can contact the show with fee...

Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Magazines and Monsters! In this one, I'll be talking with one of my Twitter brothers, Kyle Benning! Kyle has the KSCGSF (King Size Comics Giant Size Fun) podcast, and loves the Treasury Editions! Hence why he and I will be talking about Marvel Treasury Edition 9, 1976! This over-sized book is packed with goodness, and has some of the greatest creators to ever grace the medium in it! If you want to contact the show, please reach out through email Magaz...

Hey everybody, Herman and I are back with more horror for you! This time around, we're talking about a proto-Amicus film (by Subotsky and Rosenberg), called City of the Dead (1960, Horror Hotel in the U.S.)! We really love this one for a few different reasons, but none bigger than the fact that Christopher Lee is the star! Witches, zombies, sacrificial daggers, and a burning at the stake! Join us, if you can stand the heat. As usual if you have any feedback you can email the show at Magazinesand...

Welcome back to another episode of Magazines and Monsters! This time around, I'm covering a zany comic from the Bronze Age of DC comics! My partner for this one is Sean Ross, from the Pulp 2 Pixel network, and podcasts such as Secret Wars and Beyond (The Squadron Supreme coverage was great!) the Never Ending Reading Pile, and now the co-host of the Bat-Pod. We're covering The Brave and the Bold 149, 1979! This comic has my favorite DC creative team in Bob 'Zany' Haney and Jim Aparo! The insane m...

Hey everybody! Herman and I are back with another film discussion! Night of the Eagle (1962) is a good one from a smaller studio (as in not Hammer or Amicus), but really delivers the goods! The film is actually based on a very good novel, Conjure Wife (by Fritz Lieber, and we'll talk about it, too) about witchcraft in the setting of a small British university. If you haven't seen this film yet, definitely give it a watch before listening in (spoilers ahoy, as usual). The film stars Peter Wyngard...

Welcome to the latest episode of Magazines and Monsters! In this episode, I'll be talking with Mike (his twitter - ComicsintheGoldenAge), from the Comics in the Golden Age Podcast! Mike and I will be discussing three incredibly awesome stories from EC comics title Shock Suspenstories (two from issue 6 and one from issue 5). These tales of horror were groundbreaking to say the least, especially when you consider they were published in 1952! Get ready for the gore, as Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, Wa...

Hey everybody! I'm back with yet another discussion about a film. This time, I'm welcoming a brand new guest! Karen, from the comic book blog (1/2 Karen, 1/2 Doug!) Bronze Age Babies, and she's also a co-host of the Planet 8 podcast, and even has her own solo blog, Echoes from the Satellite! She is without a doubt one of the biggest sci-fi fans I know, so I asked her to come onto the show to discuss this rare British film from the 1960s! We dive into this one and try to dissect what the film is ...

Hey all you ghouls! I'm back with another movie review with my old pal Herman Louw! This time out we will be talking about one of our favorite television productions, Salem's Lot (1979/80)! This two-part movie from director Tobe Hooper took some liberties with the source material (the Stephen King novel), but is still an outstanding representation. Join us for a dive into this vampiric masterpiece, as we dissect and applaud it, and the novel as well! As always you can send feedback to the show t...

It's been a long time listeners, but I'm finally back! Join me and my Into the Weird co-host, Herman Louw (@darklongbox), as we tackle another horror film! This time, we'll be taking a ride on the Amicus Studios express, and dive into Dr. Terror's House of Horrors from 1965. The first of their Portmanteau (anthology) films, and quite possibly the best...? We'll give our thoughts on this one, and even preview what we'll be up to in our other adventures! Don't miss this one, as we have a ton of fu...
