Graphic Content Podcast 21 | ID10T Fest!
Thursday Jun 29, 2017
Thursday Jun 29, 2017
In this episode of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim talks to Adam about the weekend he spent at the inaugural ID10T Festival presented by Nerdist's Chris Hardwick, A12 Productions, and Live Nation! We try to figure out if it's supposed to be called "Eye-Dee-Ten-Tee Fest" or "Idiot Fest". (Honestly, I'm sure either one works just fine). We talk about what the experience was like at a "transmedia event" like this that featured some of the best in comics, comedy, and music. Seriously-amazing talent from all three sectors were featured that weekend too numerous to count, but you can check out the festival's website out at id10tfest.com for the roll call of all the artists featured there!
So, after Adam and Jim blather on about the festival in general, the really good stuff starts: and that's the interviews Adam had with a variety of comic industry talent! First off is an interview with Mike Marts from Aftershock Comics, whom some long-time comics readers might know as a 20-year veteran of the "Big Two" comics publishers editing the Batman titles at DC before moving down the street to Marvel to take over the editorial reigns of the X-Men titles during the time Ed Brubaker was writing those books. Adam also talks with Matt Wilson (colorist on The Wicked + The Divine amongst a long list of other titles), Chris Burnham (an amazing penciller who's drawn mainstream comics like many Batman titles for DC & X-Men: Manifest Destiny for Marvel; to small press/creator-owned work like Nixon's Pals and Officer Downe). On Day 2 Adam spoke with Matt Horak (artist on Marvel's Punisher with Becky Cloonan), and wraps-up his ID10T coverage with a long-ish interview with one of my favorite creators in the comics business, the one and only Phil Hester!

Holonet HQ | Talkin' about Lord and Miller
Wednesday Jun 28, 2017
Wednesday Jun 28, 2017
Jim is flying Solo (get it, "Solo"... heh heh... heh) this week in a chat about the goings-on the Holonet HQ Facebook Group, as well as the little kerfuffle you might've heard about going-down at Pinewood Studios last week. You know, the one where Christopher Miller and Phil Lord were fired by the Powers That Be at Lucasfilm with only 3 weeks of principal photography left to shoot for the "Untitled Han Solo Spinoff Movie"? I try not to ramble too, too much about it, but there is a certain stream-of-consciousness to the podcast that I'm curious if you like or not.
"Holonet HQ" is the official podcast of the Facebook group of Star Wars fans of the same name. The group is now live on Facebook, and we'd love for you to join us! (We do ask that you request to join the group so our Jedi Moderators can be assured you're not a Sith Lord in disguise or anything) If you're not on Facebook but would like to contact us about the content of this, or our previous episode, we'd still love to hear from you! We're part of the Graphic Contect Podcast Feed so we're on Twitter @graphicpodcast, or you can send us a long-form email to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com.
So until next time, May the Force be With You... Always.

Join Jim, Adam, and new occupier of the guest seat Chris as the trio discuss the best, and absolute worst dads in comics. Recorded on Father's Day 2017 no less! I have to say that, and maybe I'm biased, but that this show really has one of the widest ranges of characters we've discussed since the beginning of the show, so we hope you like it.

Holonet HQ | Episode I -- Past & Present
Tuesday Jun 20, 2017
Tuesday Jun 20, 2017
It's with great pleasure that I announce the latest edition to the Graphic Content Podcast Feed, HOLONET HQ! On this show, Jim is joined by a group of friends to talk about (which you might have guessed from the name of the show) STAR WARS! In this episode, Jim and his friends Rachael, Johnathan, and Chris talk about how they discovered the stories from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, and all the way through to their impressions of the trailer for Episode VIII: The Last Jedi! Oh, Jim brings in a special guest from the SW Universe to help him keep this a PG-13 rated podcast.
If you'd like to get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you! You write us an email to our addy thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. Or if you'd like to keep it short and sweet, you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast. On the next episode, we will post our first actual play session of our campaign "Legacy of the Jedi" using the Fantasy Flight Games "Force and Destiny" RPG. So until next time, May the Force be With You... Always.

Graphic Content | Actually Playing -- Fate Accelerated Session 0
Monday Jun 19, 2017
Monday Jun 19, 2017
There's a lot of geeky things that Jim enjoys, and if you've ilstened to any of our feed's previous shows you know that he's a HUGE comic book geek. Seriously, he's huge -- like 6'7", big dude. Anyhoo, one of the other fun (& definitely geeky) hobbies he enjoys is sitting down for a good old fashioned role playing game, a.k.a. RPG. If you're unfamiliar of the term, perhaps you're more familiar with the granddaddy of all RPGa: Dungeons and Dragons! Essentially it's a game of "make believe" we played with kids with a set of rules facilitated by funny-looking dice that can range from very rules-light, to extremely rules-heavy which RPG-enthusiasts call "Crunch".
Fate Accelerated is not one of those crunchy games.
It's a system that provides a loose structure for the GM (Game Master, or as a sportsball enthusiast would call, "a referee") to pretty-much create a world based on the shared imagination of the GM & his players. In this inaugural episode of Actually Playing, Graphic Content's Jim Mason is joined by his friends Brian, Carter, Mike, and Isaac (the GM) as they're introduced to a world not much unlike their own. Except perhaps for the presence of the likes of hedge wizards, werewolves, and the undead in a game Isaac best-describes as "Horror Noir" roleplaying.
We hope you like the show. Let us know what you think via email to our addy thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We're also on many of the socials like on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, or on our office FB page found at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast . We look forward to the feedback!
And now, on with the show...

Graphic Content Flashback Special! | Mission Command Episode 1
Thursday Jun 15, 2017
Thursday Jun 15, 2017
While we wait for our scientists in the GCP Laboratory to finish tweaking the "Top Secret Project", we thought you might be interested in the podcast that started it all. No, not v1.0 of Graphic Content, I'm talking about the podcast that spawned that show. Of course I'm talking about the famous MISSION COMMAND PODCAST! Wait... you never heard of it? Well that can't be true, I know at least 20 people who heard it. Really!
Seriously, this was my very first foray into podcasting, and I had a blast doing it while we did with my friends Cody, Damon, and Mike. Like I said in the intro, for some insane reason we all thought that it'd be a great idea to get up super-early on Sunday mornings to reccord our thoughts on all things nerdy and awesome! In this episode, besides learning how to record people talking for listening on the internet, we discuss movie and TV casting, the comics we were reading, and Mike debuts a little diddy from Wizards of the Coast called the 5th edition D&D Starter Set that just came out (I wonder how that game is doing now, hmmm...)
Anyhoo, we hope you enjoy the episode. If you would like to hear more from the Mission Command Archives, let us know via the contacts below. So until next time, go read some comics! And after you're done with those, listen to Graphic Content!

Graphic Content Flashback Episode 3!
Thursday Jun 08, 2017
Thursday Jun 08, 2017
In this episode of our look back to the original version of the show we listen back to when Dave, Isaac, and Mike talked about the titles they read in August of 2014. Some of them were awesome (The Fade Out by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, as well as the Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie), some made them scratch their heads (Multiversity #1 by Grant Morrison and Ivan Reis), and another seemed like it made them wish for their time back (Joshua Williamson's "The Devillers"). They also continue their "Comic Book Club" series with a look at the collection of Jeff Lemire's classic, "Essex County."
While we love to look back at the original show, we also want to look forward. Have a request for a book or webcomic in need of a review? Or are you a creator interested in talking to us on the show about your work? We'd love to hear from you. You can drop us a line at thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com! We're also on pretty much all of the social media platforms out there: Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our official FB Page under "Graphic Content Podcast". So with all that out of the way might I suggest to go read a comic? And after that, listen to Graphic Content :-)

Why are four voices needed on this podcast? Why, to review the latest release from the DCEU Wonder Woman of course! Does the movie live up to the hype?

So remember, after you're done reading your comics, listen to Graphic Content!

In this part of their chat, they talk about some of the various superhero animated shows they've watched, and callout their favorites over the years. There's some obvious choices on this list, but there's one you might not have heard of, so tune in to find out...

Thursday Jun 01, 2017
Join Jim, Adam, and special guest Manny Gomez for our review of the recent Direct-to-Video release from WB Animation, "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract." What did the guys think of it? Could it possibly live up to the what is arguably one of the greatest comic book storylines of all time? Well, just sit back, relax, and let these three friends hash it out then rate it on a 1-5 scale, this time of Terra's floating rocks... :-)
