Well, it’s time to initiate our HeroesCon break. We had some scheduling issues with a couple of bigger guests, and obviously anyone and everyone in the comics industry is currently preparing for the convention that hits Charlotte this weekend, so no shows this week and the next (since we always record shows the week prior).
If you’re in the Charlotte, NC area, stop by and say hi to Sims and Rusty at the Action Age table. And if you got ideas for guests, send them to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com!
It’s been a weird week for Euge. So when shit gets real on War Rocket Ajax, Chris and Euge do an Edit-Free Ajax Bonus Round, answer listener questions, and just when you think the show’s over….they go to Cuba and blow a bunch of stuff up. Maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.
The Rundown
Take a moment to join the Adam WarRock facebook fan page and help me out. Again, thank you so much to everyone who’s said amazingly nice things to me this week. You guys can’t know how much it means to me.
Join the movement: SAVE MOCKTOPUS! We love Max Huffman and only want him to be able to make webcomics to the best of his ability. Chris and I have supported him, as well as a number of listeners to the show. But if you haven’t, go give! It will make your heart grow three times bigger.
Most people know that Sims and I are contributing writers to the INTERNET PHENOMENON, Fake AP Stylebook twitter feed. We are hilarious guys, we are. Our book is slated to be released sometime in 2011. But in the meantime, why not buy some FakeAPStylebook merchandise. Mugs, shirts, buttons, stickers!
It’s a show that’s as familiar as your Sunday Morning Newspaper Comics section, when Josh Fruhlinger of the Comics Curmudgeon chats with the crew. Hear us talk about Funky Winkerbean, Apt. 3G, Beetle Bailey, and why they all suck while we continue to love them. Also, Chris takes on a slew of haters and we talk about Iron Man 2. It’s an Episode 30 blowout!
The Rundown
Please check out Josh at http://joshreads.com; and chat with him on twitter. If you’re not reading The Comics Curmudgeon, seriously, you need to.
You asked for him. You got him. Josh Fruhlinger, otherwise known as The Comics Curmudgeon is going to stop by to make fun of horrible, horrible comics. Odds that Funky Winkerbean comes up? Well, I believe the bookies have just taken that bet off the board altogether.
We’ll be recording with him at 9:30 PM Eastern on Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Tweet or email your questions!
With the skill of gymnastics, and the kill of karate, Matt Singer, host of the IFC.com podcast and on-air host of IFC news, joins us to talk about his lifelong scholarly pursuit of watching and discussing the cinematic merit of Gymkata. We also talk about his time interning with Troma Entertainment, and comics reviews!
Hey guys, if you like my music at AdamWarRock.com and are at all interested in seeing a live show of me performing raps and swears for you, please go over there and vote in the poll. It would help me out greatly.
What’s that? Did you say you wanted WAR ROCKET AJAX T-SHIRTS for the summertime? Perhaps to cut the sleeves off of and bunch up above your midriff to party like a rock star? Perhaps you wish to remove it at the relevant times and spin it ’round your head, sort of like a helicopter? Well, we’re working on it. Hopefully they will be out sooner rather than later. And then you can show the world how much you love the world’s most destructive comics and pop culture podcast.
Our next guest is Matt Singer, movie critic, host of Independent Film Channel’s news, co-host of the IFC Movie Podcast (one of my favorite movie podcasts), and big comics fan. He’s going to join us on Cinco De Mayo! So most likely, we’ll all be drunk.
Matt’s gonna stop by to talk comic book movies and do comic reviews, as well as whatever the hell else comes up. That’s tonight, May 5, at 10:30 PM EST. If you have any questions, movie-related or comic-related (or y’know, anything else) for Matt, send ’em our way.
Tom Katers, of Tom vs. the Flash, Tom vs. the JLA, Around Comics and iFanboy, joins us for the whole episode as we talk about D&D, Miley Cyrus, Silver Age comics, and well…anything else that comes up. This guy knows what I’m talkin’ about, right?
The Rundown
Check out Tom Vs. the Flash on iTunes, at his blog, and also chat with Tom on twitter. Remember to check out Tom’s columns on iFanboy as well every Friday as well.
I’m pretty sure you can find “Party and Bullshit in the USA” if you use your industriousness on the web. It’s a great mashup, shouldn’t be missed. Here’s the Adam WarRock song that I made out of “Party in the USA.”
Our next guest, as many, many of you have requested, is Tom Katers of podcast fame. You may know him from shows like Tom Vs. the Flash! Tom Vs. JLA! Previously seen (heard?) on Around Comics! And currently, a columnist at iFanboy. His Milwaukee Brewers have also eviscerated my Pittsburgh Pirates this month in a shameful, embarrassing manner.
We will be recording with Tom on Thursday, April 29 around 9:30 PM Eastern time. If you have questions, email them or tweet them to the show! You know where to find us!
The world's most destructive comics and pop culture podcast!
