Episode 774: TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE 35th Anniversary Discussion
Today’s episode is beyond good, beyond evil, beyond your wildest imagination … because it looks at the seminal 1980’s animation classic Transformers: The Movie! Like Pennywise luring so many children to their unsuspecting doom, this beautiful & enticing film shattered the innocence of so many childhoods. But unlike that hellish clown, this film does have many virtues that Greg has brought Chad Bowers and Tom Scioli on board to celebrate for the film’s 35th anniversary.
Does the movie still hold up? What made it look so different than the cartoon that spawned it? Which soundtrack hit almost ended up in another 80’s film? How could the filmmakers misjudge their audience’s attachment to these toys so badly? Answers to questions like this and more, plus a broader discussion of seminal deaths & resurrections in genre franchises: who are we glad came back, and who should have stayed in the grave?

Episode 773: Tom Scioli’s TRANSFORMERS VS GI JOE
Today’s episode presents two looks at Tom Scioli's Transformers vs GI Joe comic in lead-up to his appearance on the upcoming Transformers: The Movie 35th anniversary episode later this week. First up is a segment from the March 22, 2017 Pull List episode covering his Transformers vs GI Joe: The Official Movie Adaptation oneshot, and then the bulk of the episode is Mike’s conversation with the cartoonist shortly after the series was announced at NYCC 2013 almost 8 years ago.

Episode 772: Baltimore Comicon 2021 with John Siuntres
After two years of quarantine, Greg finally attended a live show this past month: the Baltimore Comicon! And as luck would have it, Wordballoon’s John Siuntres (aka podcasting’s cool uncle) was there as well. What better way to celebrate the chance to get back to in-person interviewing and yakkin’ about various things than with the man who helped so many of us do that very thing? While some of the conversation was lost due to technical snafu, what survived ran the gamut from podcasting in the time of the pandemic, the golden age of television, the merits and personal ranking of Stallone’s Rocky ouvre, Lou Grant: Crossover Icon, and more!

[Rebroadcast] Episode 713: SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE and Adapting Novels into Comics
Graphic novels may be all the rage, but the art of turning prose into comix is one many publishers are finding just slightly easier than turning lead into gold. From the early days of Classics Illustrated right up until today, Mike & Greg take a look at five novel-to-comics adaptations to get a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to adding pictures to all those words:
A People’s History of American Empire by Howard Zinn (adapted by Mike Konopacki and Paul Buhle)
Do Android’s Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick (adapted by Tony Parker)
The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair (adapted by Kristina Gehrmann)
The Giver, by Lois Lowry (adapted by P. Craig Russell)
Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death by Kurt Vonnegut (adapted by Ryan North & Albert Monteys)
