known as DJ Soundwave also known as DJ Bloombox. Shout

10
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.920
me that this episode here is a specific special episode
11
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.960
that's just about comic book conventions and the most reason
12
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.519
when I went to Fan Expo here in Chicago went
13
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.640
to that convention, and I want to focus this episode
14
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.239
on my experience there, and I'll bring back a couple
15
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.519
of snippets of interviews I've done in the past that
16
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.400
our comic book convention related. So in this episode here,
17
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.879
not only wull I be talking about attending Fan Expo,
18
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.640
but we'll bring back interviews from Jeffrey Brown who was
19
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.680
on the podcast last fall, Jason Moore, who I met
20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.120
at a convention years ago in the early days of
21
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.879
doing this, and then Ira Haydn, who is on my
22
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.719
Halloween episode last fall as well. So stay tuned. We
23
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.359
got interviews from them coming up here. Definitely re using
24
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.719
some content to create kind of a standalone comic book
25
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.719
convention episode. But before we go forward, we always go back.
26
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.359
And on the last episode, I had ultramag seven on
27
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.200
the culture Clip King. He has a way of just
28
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.400
making clips on social media and reworking old music and
29
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.079
videos and kind of creating something new out of it,
30
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.799
and he was on the show the last episode. Had
31
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.959
a blast talking with him. Here's a clip from that
32
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.920
past episode. Chance check it out here you go flashback
33
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.560
Ultramax seven on the most recent episode of the Infinite
34
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.120
Banter podcast Flashback.
35
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.120
Yeah, I do. I do these.
36
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.199
I guess what people call a mashup, and I got
37
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.879
known for that during I Guess the pandemic. Even still now,
38
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.719
I mean, people have discovering me. But I went from
39
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.240
like no followers to I think I'm hovering around sixty
40
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.319
thousand or something just from I always say it to
41
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.919
people doing these dumb little videos and the like, they're
42
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.680
not dumb, and I'm like, just for me, because it
43
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.000
was me sitting in the house just being bored, just bored,
44
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.039
and you know, I just I thought that there was
45
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.719
this hip hop. I guess in my mind, I thought
46
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.159
there was some hip hop thing building on social media
47
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.599
and I wanted to be a part of it. But
48
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.319
I guess that was just an algorithm with all the
49
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.240
people I was following.
50
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.599
Just there you go. Definitely go back and check out
51
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.439

on Instagram, So check him out. Big shout out to
57
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.199
him for coming on the show. But as I'd mentioned,
58
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.520
this is an episode dedicated to conventions, and most recently
59
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:17.719
I went to the Fan Expo.
60
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:18.080
Here.
61
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.159
They call it Chicago, but it's Rosemont. It's not really Chicago.
62
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.599
It's on the outskirts of Chicago Northwest suburbs. The first
63
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.520
convention I went to was in two thousand and four.
64
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.159
It's called wizard World, and some years later wizard World
65
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.159
no longer was the thing, and now that convention is
66
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.960
called fan Expo. So it's considered the longest running convention
67
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.560
in the Chicago area. Even though it's under a different name,
68
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.479
different management title, all that stuff, but the elements are
69
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.680
still there. You've got vendors, comic books and toys and
70
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.159
figures and things. You've got local artists, and you've got
71
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.680
name artists, and you've got celebrities and cosplayers. Everything you
72
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.560
expect at a convention you definitely get at the Fan Expo.
73
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.759
The only one that even is close to competing with
74
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.400
it is c Tweet two, which happens in usually in
75
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.199
late spring early spring in the Chicago area at the
76
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.400
McCormick Place. So I definitely had a Blasko in the
77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.280
fan XBO. I appreciate the invite, and you know, having
78
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.319
the podcast come out there, saw some really cool cos players.
79
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.079
If you follow me on Instagram at Infinite Banter podcast,
80
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.759
you'll see that I posted a bunch of pictures from
81
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.360
different people who were dressed up at the convention. I've
82
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.800
been going to these things for so long that it's
83
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.560
been like twenty years of going to these conventions, and
84
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.480
you know, as I get older, it's like, how many
85
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.800
more can I do? Can I do three in a year? Anymore?
86
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.480
Can I do three days? Because they go from you know,
87
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.240
Friday to Saturday, to Sunday, and sometimes they're on Thursdays
88
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.839
as well. Fan Xpo no different. They were on from
89
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.160
Friday through Sunday, so it's a lot of walking. You
90
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.120
get your steps in the Rosemott Convention centers. There's a
91
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.120
Starbucks in there, so you can grab yourself a drink
92
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.199
while you're walking around and checking out all the merch
93
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.199
and all the cool cos players and everything. It's funny.
94
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.079
Every year I seen them run into the same guy
95
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.560
dressed as Macho Man. I saw him again, took a
96
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.079
picture with him, you know, did the oh, yeah, what's
97
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.639
going on? And we kept seeing him everywhere. He was
98
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.319
in the Taco line stand, he was walking down River Road,
99
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.360
he was, he was everywhere. So yeah, shout out to
100
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.240
the guy who dressed up his mouch Man every year
101
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:09.920
because I see him all the time. You know, there's
102
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.279
a guy dressed up like Art the clown from Terrifire.
103
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.639
There was a really cool Daredevil cosplay where he had
104
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.879
like the yellow and red, like that old school look
105
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.560
that before the eighties. Feel definitely was like in that.
106
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.199
Probably my favorite cosplay that I saw, and I don't
107
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.319
even know how to describe it or what it was called.
108
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.639
Or what he's dressed up as. But he was wearing
109
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.240
a thriller Michael Jackson's shirt and his head was a boombox.
110
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:33.519
He was really cool. I have a picture of it.
111
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.959
I wish I would have asked what he was dressed as.
112
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.279
Sometimes you take pictures of somebody because it looks cool,
113
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.279
but you don't really know what they're dressed up as,
114
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:41.920
and you kind of like, oh, man, I should have
115
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.800
asked what he or she is dressed up as. But
116
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.480
that was my favorite. And the boombox speakers had like
117
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.839
they were like eyes, so he would like move, so
118
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.920
it was pretty cool. And the tape deck was like
119
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:51.319
the mouth.
120
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:51.639
Oh.
121
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.360
Definitely my favorite cosplay I saw this year. But shout
122
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.480
out to Fan Expo when it come to a town
123
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.519
near you. I definitely suggest checking them out. Lots of celebrities,
124
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.360
big name like they had a lot of Star Wars
125
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.319
people there. A little bit out of my price range
126
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.160
though young it's sound like that old guy, because like
127
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.600
back in like two thousand and four when I went
128
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.839
the first time, I think it paid like twenty bucks
129
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.199
to get a picture with Mark Singer and get a
130
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.079
signed photograph and you know the other celebrities I met
131
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.439
at that convention, they were all like twenty bucks. Eventually
132
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.560
it starts getting a little bit higher, and I'm starting
133
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.279
to get to a point where I don't necessarily go
134
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.399
in those lines anymore. And they're really long too. But
135
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.480
if you're somebody who's looking to meet you and McGregor
136
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.839
or whoever from Star Wars, or you know your favorite
137
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.759
compook artist, make sure you go to fanxpo HQ dot
138
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.279
com and they'll be coming back to the Chicagoland area
139
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.920

142
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.959
the episode here. So, as I mentioned, I'm gonna play
143
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.000
segments from three different interviews I've done in the past.
144
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.360
So we're gonna play some segments from past interviews with
145
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.800
Jeffrey Brown, Jason Moore, and Ira Hayden coming up here.
146
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.240
And at the end of the episode, I do want
147
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.680
to get into there's actually new Friday the thirteenth, Jason content.
148
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.639
There was a short movie I was just released on
149
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.240
YouTube called Sweet Revenge, put up by Angry Orchard. I
150
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.160
think I gotta go buy an Angry Orchard drink because
151
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.680
they've got Jason cans, so I need to get those
152
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.399
drink one. Maybe I'll do a review about it or
153
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.120
something or whre's my guy DJ real One? Is he
154
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.079
up on that Angry Orchard? Is that stuff any good?
155
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.800
I have no idea. I've never had it before. So
156
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.120
I'll talk about the Sweet Revenge fifteen minutes short that
157
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.160
came out. It's the first Jason related thing released in
158
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.000
like twenty years that's not a fan made film, you know,
159
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.600
something like that. Really excited to talk about that. Let's

begins until the one and Only who I met at
181
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.879
a convention. This audio is from the c TWEE two
182
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.159
convention some years back. The One and Only King from
183
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.600
Queen's DMC says this, and now the show begins.
184
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:36.679
Yo, Yo, what's up?
185
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.200
This is me DMC to K I and g the
186
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.679
greatest MC in history. And right now you're listening to
187
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:47.000
Infinite Banter because we will banter on forever, because this
188
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.840
is the only place for all of youall to ever be.
189
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.360
I be Infinite Banter.
190
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.120
So the first interview I want to play is from
191
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.200
when I went to the Walkers Stalker con in twenty nineteen,
192
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.559
which I can't believe it's been six years already. And
193
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.879
I got to talk to Kirk Osceavedo, who you hear
194
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.039
every episode here at the end when he's saying it's
195
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.080
time for you to leave asshole. That's from that convention.
196
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.320
But I also got to meet Jason Moore. For those
197
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.840
who don't know, he was in the Punisher Netflix series.
198
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.960
He played Curtis. He was kind of like the moral
199
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.919
compass of that show. He was the guy who was
200
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.320
trying to kind of lead Frank Castle in the right direction.
201
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.799
And he was a guy who like mentored and did
202
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.799
therapy with, you know, veterans who were come back from
203
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:32.320
military service who had some issues. So his characters really
204
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.120
pivotal to that show. And I was always hoping they'd
205
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.039
bring him back. And I just saw an instagram he
206
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.320
posted that he is coming back to punish her. There's
207
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.080
the next Punisher special. He will be acting in it again,
208
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.240
reprising his role as Curtis. That's great and it made
209
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.480
me think, like, man, I need to go back to
210
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.200
that interview. I haven't heard it in so long, and
211
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.320
it's a side noticed. One of my favorite moments at
212
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.519
these conventions because my wife was with me and she
213
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.799
was pregnant with our daughter at the time. So our
214
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.679
picture with Jason Moore is of, you know, basically, we
215
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.279
got a freebie. We we got my daughter's first celebrity
216
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.360
pick was this picture with Jason Moore. So pretty cool,
217
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.080
really really good dude, And this interview was a lot
218
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.919
of fun to talk with him on site at that
219
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.799
Walker Stalker con back in twenty nineteen. So here we
220
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.919
go a little bit of a flashback. We have a
221
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.399
couple flashbacks in this episode, So here we go Jason
222
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.639
Moore talking about his time on Punisher and kind of
223
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.399
alluding to how he wants to come back. Well, here's
224
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.600
some news he is coming back. Here on the Infinite
225
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.919
Banter podcast. All right, I'm here with Jason Moore at
226
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.519
the Walking Dead convention and Jason Moore from the Punisher show.
227
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.159
Glad to meet your mandates coming on.
228
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:31.840
What's up man, It's good to be here.
229
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.799
Appreciate it. The jacket. First of all, that jacket is
230
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.840
something Oh yo.
231
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.320
Y'all can't see it, but it is something I wish
232
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:39.840
I could see it now. It's pretty good.
233
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.200
Being a big fan of Punisher, it's like you're the
234
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.159
moral compass of that show. You're always in the middle
235
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.879
trying to keep Frank online and Jigsaw and everything. What
236
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.080
was that like playing that character?
237
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.519
It was it was it was dope.
238
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.720
So it was like, it's like, of course, I want
239
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.759
to be the badass, you know, I want the Curtis
240
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.600
to at least show that side of him because you know,
241
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.159
he is a former marine, you know, so right was
242
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.759
a marine, but anyway, but he was he was the
243
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.320
guy that put the bad the badasses together. So the
244
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.200
badasses needed him. The bad asses came to Curtis, and
245
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.320
that was the beauty. That was like the best part
246
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.000
of like playing Curtis is like, yeah, the punishes to
247
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.480
punish them, but the punishers still need to come to
248
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.320
Curtis for that guidance, that brotherhood, and so it was
249
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.080
really important for Curtis to be there for them, even Billy,
250
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.320
you know, even though Billy betrayed us, you know, it
251
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.720
was still important for Curtis to be there for him.
252
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.440
So yeah, I dug that approach.
253
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.080
To the role.
254
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.799
It was like Curtis saw the good in both of
255
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:33.320
those guys.
256
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.240
Oh yeah, yeah, Curtis definitely saw the good in both
257
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.120
of them, and wanted to bring that out more than
258
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.720
anything else.
259
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.240
But that's part of him.
260
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.960
Filtering through that PTSD that they're all suffering is a
261
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.120
big theme of the show, and getting them to be
262
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:52.720
like a real healed person, a better person even though
263
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.440
that they're suffering.
264
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.399
Did you a lot of feedback from military people, you know,
265
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.480
with the role you're playing, Like people like, oh, I
266
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.919
can see like myself through your character, you know, with
267
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.200
having the one leg and everything.
268
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.039
Yeah, one thing that was special about it is that,
269
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.039
you know, military people vets.
270
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.519
They showed their appreciation for the role, and then that
271
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.000
made it.
272
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.480
That made it work for me, you know, I'm glad
273
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.000
I was able to do it justice for them and
274
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.440
we didn't cut any corners. And I took a real
275
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.480
approach in terms of creating Curtis Oil for myself. And
276
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.720
one thing I like to mention is that in the
277
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.200
group sessions, those are all vets that are all real vets.
278
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.840
So I got to I got I was really close
279
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.720
to the real deal, and so they got to fill
280
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.360
me in on things, We got to talk about it,
281
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.159
and so there was a direct connection.
282
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.120
And a lot of US fans are of course disappointed
283
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.159
with the Netflix. You know Punishers no longer going to
284
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.519
be back. Any idea if you could do something with
285
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.360
Punisher ales in the movies or anything, or.
286
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.519
Listen, I don't know what they're gonna do with it.
287
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.440
Dudes in suits and boardrooms make the decisions right, and
288
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.279
Punishers just the latest casualty in corporate wars man, So
289
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.200
I don't know what they're gonna do. They don't fill
290
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.320
listen until last minute. But yeah, for the fans, which
291
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.440
I am a fan two of the show in Marvel
292
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.480
uh intellectual properties, I want to see it again just
293
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.279
like everyone else. So hopefully they make a move and
294
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.360
they get us all together again to bring bring the
295
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:14.159
season three together.
296
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.240
All right, Jason, So who is your favorite character of
297
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:16.639
all time?
298
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.279
Superhero wise Man, It's the Halt.
299
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.639
It's the incredible Halt because you know he gets stronger
300
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.480
as he gets angrier.
301
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.000
And I mean, I always wanted to do that.
302
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.720
So so you don't do that in real life?
303
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.960
No, I mean I wish, but I can't. I don't
304
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.120
get stronger. In fact, I get stupider and weaker if
305
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.320
I get angrier. Right, relates right, right, But yeah, if
306
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.240
I can, if I can be the Halt that that
307
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.399
be That would be an awesome thing. And yeah, that's
308
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.919
always been my favorite ones, even since Luke for Ringo.
309
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.600
I's a little kid watching Luke turned It like I
310
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.399
was like, yea, come on a right, Yeah, they need
311
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.240
to remake it and that's that's how they need to
312
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.360
do it. They need to do it and they need
313
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.279
to they need to show that off because they haven't
314
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:02.759
done it and all of the halt it's always been
315
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.840
cgi but they never they never, they never really explored
316
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.759
much of that and I'm still waiting for that to happen.
317
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.279
So Avengers, I want to see if that happens in
318
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.519
the Avengers game where he takes on Thanos and he
319
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.159
just gets angrier and because you know his boys is gone,
320
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.240
some of this boys is going, and then he just
321
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:20.840
he's able to catch racks.
322
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.200
Makes you want to boke up and then put some
323
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.080
green makeup.
324
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.600
Man, like, Yeah, it's one of my favorite dog. It's
325
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.120
like it's because the dude grows gets stronger. It's like
326
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.039
everything as a kid you want to do right.
327
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:32.879
It should be unstoppable.
328
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:33.879
He should be unstoppable.
329
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.600
Yeah, And before I go, just tell me what you're
330
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.200
working on. What can't people see Jason Moore doing next.
331
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.360
Yes, So I got Honor Monk Thieves coming out, which
332
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.679

338
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.440
Really appreciate you coming on the podcast.
339
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.559
No, I no problem, man, Thanks for having me appreciate it.
340
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.519
Thank you so much. Hey, y'all, Sleuth Temple Axel from
341
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.480
The Walking Dad and you're listening to the Infinite Manter Podcast.
342
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.240
Keep listening, you follow me.
343
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.840
So here's another interview I've done on the podcast. Here.
344
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.320
This is with Jeffrey Brown. He's an artist and a
345
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.559
comic book writer. He was on the show back in
346
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.039
the fall episode one ninety five if you want to
347
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.360
check out the full episode. Had a blast talking with him.
348
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.919
He's done so much cool work Darth Vader AND's son.
349
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.279
His books are aimed. I guess you can say they're
350
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.399
aimed at kids, but I think adults like myself can
351
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.919
really appreciate it. Because one we're comic book nerds and
352
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.120
we like Star Wars and Batman and stuff, but they
353
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.799
come from an angle of like being a dad or
354
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.679
a mom or someone with kids, so it's kind of
355
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.840
helping both sides of He's found a way like a
356
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.519
niche there with his books. So definitely a big fan
357
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.120
of his work, and I was excited to have him
358
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.399
on the show, you know, back last fall. So here's
359
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.039
a segment I did with him talking about doing Star
360
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.360
Wars books as well as his newer book, Batman Robin
361
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.120
and Howard Summer Breakdown. Really great book. Definitely go check
362
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.080
it out. He has a newer X Men book that's
363
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.559
out as well. He just does great work. He finds
364
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.559
a way to kind of juggle something that kids could
365
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.679
read and adults can still get into the same time.
366
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.679
It's not very easy. He's found a way to do that,
367
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.080
and a big salute to Jeffrey Brown. So go ahead
368
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.799
and check him out. Jeffrey browncomics dot com. And here's
369
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.159
a segment from my interview with him last fall here
370
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.639
on the Infinite Banter podcast.
371
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:23.240
Started doing some autobiographical comics, you know, adult relationship stories
372
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.840
just about awkward everyday moments, and I was doing those
373
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:33.120
when I had the opportunity to do something for Google
374
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.519
for their homepage. They had the idea of doing something
375
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.879
with Luke Scawalker and Darth Vader and how awkward an
376
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.639
everyday moment would be between the two of them. And
377
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.240
so normally there's a there's a whole team of people
378
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.960
at Google that create the Google doodles, but everyone's a while,
379
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.559
they'll invite outside artists to draw something. And I'd met
380
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.159
the guy that runs the doodle team at some point,
381
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.639
and he called me up and was like, here's the idea.
382
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.200
We think you'd be perfect to do this, And so
383
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.640
I did up a bunch of sketches and most of
384
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.799
which ended up in the first book. But in the
385
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.839
end Google decided like that they didn't they weren't going
386
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.079
to use the idea for whatever reason, and which at
387
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.119
first was super disappointing. But then I realized, you know, well,
388
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.920
one of my publishers, Chronicle Books, has done a lot
389
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.920
of Star Wars books. Maybe they could take this idea
390
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.119
to Lucasfilm and we could see if, like, we could
391
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.559
make a whole book out of this. And so that
392
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.680
that's what we did, and Lucasfilm liked it. And you
393
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.799
know the rest is history.
394
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.319
So yeah, I was gonna say, taking you to Lucasfilm.
395
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.880
I think just that idea probably excited you too, write
396
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.319
to know that, well, if they like it, now you've
397
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:45.119
got something.
398
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.799
Right, Yeah, I mean, and I knew that, you know,
399
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.759
it's you're you're not going to be able to like
400
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.559
I wasn't just going to be able to like send
401
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.799
something into LUCASLM, like, hey, I've got this idea, Like
402
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.200
if Lucasfilm, especially now with Disney, you know, if they
403
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.759
if that was their submission policy, like nothing would ever
404
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.079
have happened, like like everyone's job would just be reading submissions, right.
405
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:06.960
So yeah, So it was fortunate that you know, I
406
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.519
had the relationship with The Chronicle and then they had
407
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.400
the relationship with Lucasfilm to kind of have that door open.
408
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.680
And the main point of the book for me was
409
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.960
writing for adults like myself who grew up with Star
410
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.119
Wars and were now having kids, and so as a
411
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.000
Star Wars fan, I you know, I was fairly confident that,
412
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.680
you know that Lucasfilm would like the idea. Like whether
413
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.880
or not they were up for having it be a
414
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.839
book was you know, like the question mark. But it
415
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.799
was a period before Disney had purchased Lucasfilm and they
416
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.240
were still open maybe a little more to doing some
417
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.200
things kind of outside the box. And it was kind
418
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.799
of the right the right timing and the right situation
419
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.000
and everything that it all just came together.
420
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.519
Yeah, it's like everything had to the galaxies had to
421
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.119
come together, right from the stick workouts. You know when
422
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.440
I read that book now and you touched on something there,
423
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.000
you know, when you're a father, you know, like it's
424
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.359
that I got this book before my daughter was born,
425
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.079
you know, five years ago, but I picked it up yesterday.
426
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.920
I mean, even stuff now that I'm reading because after
427
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.000
five years of having a little one running around, Like
428
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.160
the Privacy one is my favorite, because I don't know
429
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.920
how many times I'm in the bathroom or in the
430
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.880
showers something and should just open the door and come
431
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:17.960
in there and start telling me about something that's exciting
432
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.559
for her. It's like you've got to get out of here. Yeah.
433
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.960
So there's so many things that are just so relatable.
434
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.039
I'm sure that's part of what got you to write it,
435
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:28.720
because you're relating to a lot of it as well.
436
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.279
Yeah, I mean so you know that at the time,
437
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.640
my son was four years old, and I was just
438
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:39.279
basically just pulled everything just straight from life. And I mean,
439
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.240
coming from a history of doing autobiographical comics, you know,
440
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.559
I've always been interested in work that feels personal. So
441
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.519
even if I'm going to do something like Star Wars,
442
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.119
I want it to be personal in a way beyond
443
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.720
just like the fact that I love the Star Wars
444
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.640
and have known these characters my whole life and all that.
445
00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.559
And I wanted to ask you to, as you said earlier,
446
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.920
you started drawing. Who are some of your favorite ones
447
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.680
to draw early on? Was it always Darth Vader?
448
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:05.319
Was it Luke?
449
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.160
And who are some of the characters you really had
450
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:07.960
an attachment to?
451
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:13.440
I mean, Ewoks, we're big anything from haff like I
452
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.960
love drawing like you know, like the Rebel Soldiers and
453
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:22.839
and ad Ats and snow Speeders and Yoda also and
454
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.200
then beyond that, just you know, hath, Ewoks and Yoda
455
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.160
are probably like the big three when I look through
456
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.920
those old drawings.
457
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.880
So should we be looking for a Grandpa Palpatine book.
458
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:34.799
I don't know if I want it. I don't know
459
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.359
if anybody wants that, because it's controversial. Now many people
460
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.720
like that storyline, but it's an obvious one.
461
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.200
Yeah, you know, it's you know, it's it's tough, like
462
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.119
the with the books, you've you've got to you've got
463
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.960
to find the right kind of it's the word, like
464
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.839
just the right kind of idea to fit everything together.
465
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.240
So so Darth, Vader and Sun was easy because it's
466
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.799
it's a little obvious, and then Vader's little princess, Like
467
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:05.160
then it's just you know, going to Princess Leo and adding.
468
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.160
The most recent one is is Mandalorian and Child with
469
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.920
Grogu and Mandalorian. It's a it's a similar kind of
470
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:18.160
parenting storyline, but Grogu is younger than in the book,
471
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.480
and it's also it's like because it's like a surrogate parent.
472
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.000
It's there's like it's just there's just like a slight difference.
473
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.000
So it's like finding that right kind of that right
474
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.319
spot to make all the jokes work for me as
475
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.960
as I'm creating, it is tough, and so I'd actually
476
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.359
thought about like the grandparents angle actually when I was
477
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.519
working on Ray and Pals. So the book with the
478
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.240
sequel trilogy and the like, it just didn't seem to
479
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.759
click right for me, Like I just didn't find the
480
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.400
right kind of entry point to fit in the grandparents right.
481
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:58.720
As you can't force it, yeah, to use the word force,
482
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.799
you can't force it in there pun intended. You've got
483
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.839
to let it happen naturally, right and if it doesn't work,
484
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.440
it doesn't work.
485
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.119
You can't try you can really do or.
486
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.880
Do not or it screwing up all the lines. But yeah,
487
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.599
I mean I like I said that the Darth Vader
488
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.440
and Son book is my introduction to your work. And
489
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.880
you know, once I read that, I was like, Wow,
490
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.240
this is really great. I need to follow up and
491
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.079
look at more stuff. I need to get the Princess
492
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.519
Leiah version you're talking about earlier. And like I said,
493
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:27.319
being a parent, it's just so relatable and obviously you
494
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.480
found a way to connect that. And that's is that
495
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.200
kind of your niche to some people come to you
496
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.839
when if you hear reactions in these books like oh,
497
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.559
I'm a father or I'm a mother and I have
498
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.160
kids and this book really spoke to me as well
499
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.359
as being a Star Wars fan or a Batman fan.
500
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.799
Yeah, the biggest and maybe like the best response that
501
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.480
comes to me is and it's from both sides, both parents,
502
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.279
and I've I've had you know, like adult kids, so
503
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.880
like kids in college.
504
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:55.759
So I guess not really kids like kids to me
505
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.759
because I'm old now.
506
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.559
But you know, like like you have people who who
507
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.559
are like connecting with their parents through the books and
508
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.599
parents who are connecting with their kids through the books,
509
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.319
and so it's kind of like this, uh, this this
510
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.880
great thing where the books bring bring families together and
511
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.400
which is really like kind of a cheesy, cheesy thing
512
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.279
to say, but anyway, and it wasn't like, again, that
513
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:24.519
wasn't my plan. My plan. I wanted it to be
514
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.680
for I was writing for basically myself, and I was
515
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.519
just having fun drawing Star Wars, right, But yeah, that's
516
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.319
I think that's the the big thing is the how
517
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.759
the books have kind of connected different generations.
518
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.279
Oh for sure. And you know you talked about bringing
519
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.599
families together, and you know, you, me and my daughter
520
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.400
will watch Star Wars when it's on, like tat will
521
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.200
have like a weekend we're just like playing all of
522
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.519
them and we'll pick and choose which ones we leave
523
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.680
on and uh, and it's it does bring it together
524
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.519
and she likes it. You know, when Mermaid's not on
525
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.559
or you know, maybe you're Disney princessing, it's probably more
526
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.400
important to her. But you know, she'll let Daddy watch
527
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.279
Star Wars or Superman if it comes or whatever. Like
528
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.000
whatever I'm into. Sometimes I'll pop up and I think,
529
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.640
like you're doing with the books, like you're creating both
530
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.519
worlds and people who grew up like me with comic
531
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:13.240
books and superheroes and all that, and kids can also
532
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.440
get into I think it. There's something to that, and
533
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:17.759
I think that's why this book resonates with me and
534
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.799
a lot of other people, and obviously with yourself. You're
535
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.599
getting the great reactions you have. And man, this Batman
536
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.240
book is really great. I just finished reading it the
537
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.599
other day. So it's when I get to titled Everybody, Batman,
538
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.920
Robin and Howard Summer Breakdown, and it's it's a story.
539
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.559
It's not just little humorous little panels you've done in
540
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.839
the past. This is actually a full story here. And
541
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.000
I really like the dynamic of It's similar with the
542
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.480
Darth Vader ones. Like Batman's a struggling parent. He's trying
543
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:43.000
to figure out how do I you can relate this
544
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.079
everyday life Batman's you know, he's got a the mother
545
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:48.279
of his child is not really with him and Italia
546
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.640
and they're kind of figuring out how to raise Damien
547
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.240
and this kid. Howard is in the mix and talk
548
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.039
about just the concept of this book and how I
549
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.519
first came to the idea of doing something like this.
550
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:01.480
Yeah, so DC had yours years back when they first
551
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:06.920
started making a push to have more younger reader books specifically,
552
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.319
and there's an editor who had come from actually from
553
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.759
working with Disney who knew my work, and she was
554
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.640
inviting different authors also, like not authors who work like
555
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:24.839
your your traditional like DC Marvel writers and artists, and
556
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.559
she asked if I would be interested in doing something,
557
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.000
and like I was always more of a Marvel guy
558
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.079
to be, to be honest, but except for Batman. And
559
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.640
so so I was like, yeah, I want to I
560
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.799
want to do a Batman book. And so then again
561
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.119
it's like you know, finding like what is well, what
562
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.079
is my Batman book? And what happened was I had
563
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.799
this idea for a story about like two teenage kids,
564
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.160
and it's like it was the idea was like would
565
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.240
be like a comedy movie that I would write someday
566
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.440
like like you know, like ten Things I Hate about
567
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.680
you or can't hardly wait.
568
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.880
Like those classic uh teen rom coms.
569
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.680
But the idea was that, like, there's this hot shot
570
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.319
kid into high school and then a new kid comes,
571
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.400
and the new kid's even more of a hot shot
572
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.599
and like and like and like and like they're so
573
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.920
they have this you know, the rivalry and even though
574
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.519
like everyone else is like you, why you guys should
575
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:18.559
totally be best friends?
576
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.400
What's going on here?
577
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.640
And so I had this kind of this kind of
578
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.119
basic storyline, and I realized, like, oh, what if, like
579
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.680
I took that story one of those kids was Damien
580
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:31.880
Wayne Robin and and he's like this new kid coming
581
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.920
to this high school and then and then I get
582
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.279
to add Batman and so it kind of came together
583
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.799
like pretty pretty quickly. And so the first book was
584
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.519
kind of establishing the characters the original Batman and Robin
585
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.759
and Howard, and then I had signed on to do
586
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.640
two books with DC.
587
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.799
So the second book, I was.
588
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.720
Like, well, there's all these other DC characters I could explore,
589
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.079
and so I was trying to like come up with
590
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.960
an idea and again, like as as we mentioned like
591
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.759
trying to force it, and then I just kept thinking, like,
592
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.200
you know what, like why am I trying to I
593
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.880
really just want to write another Batman and Robin and
594
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.200
Howard book. And so I kind of took some of
595
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.799
the elements of one of the ideas I had and
596
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.279
reworked it for Robin and Howard, and I think the like, again,
597
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.880
this is another book too where I try to bring
598
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.039
in the personal. So like my with their Fader and son,
599
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.319
My my older son was four years old when I
600
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:25.079
was writing that, and then when I was writing the
601
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.680
when I started working on the Batman and Robin and
602
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:31.079
Howard stories, my older son was you know, in middle school,
603
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:34.839
high school, and so so I kind of based Batman
604
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.440
on myself where it's like not that I think I'm cool,
605
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.519
but when I go speak at elementary schools, like the kids,
606
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.079
the kids there think I'm really cool, right, Like they're
607
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:46.720
like this is this is the guy that wrote these books,
608
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:49.799
and that's really cool. But my son does not think
609
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.720
I'm cool, Like he's like, oh my god, I am
610
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.680
totally embarrassing to him. And so like that was that
611
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:57.799
was like kind of the basic ideas, like you know,
612
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.319
it's like Batman is like, he's like so awesome. But
613
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.720
to his teenage son, I was like, oh my gosh, dad,
614
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.759
why do you keep telling everyone you're Batman?
615
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.480
How did you say that? Reading his book giving me
616
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.599
a whole different perspective. On the rooftop visits, they would
617
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:14.440
have Batman's like, all right, get up on the rooftop.
618
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.200
You gotta we gotta have a chet. Yeah you know
619
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.160
there's cles down there. No, no, no, listen to me.
620
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.000
You got to listen to your mother, and you.
621
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:24.119
Know, yeah, so yeah, I just tried to channel like,
622
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.799
you know, like that great like awkward awkward dad moments,
623
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.559
you know, and then it's it's just yeah, it's fun
624
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:32.759
to draw Batman and rob.
625
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.000
It and you're listening to the infant.
626
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:42.119
Third up on the show. Here is another flashback. Ira Hayden,
627
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.119
who was in Knight Mnomes She Part three. He was
628
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:45.759
in Father of the Bride. He was in the ol
629
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.359
viral movie Mistress of the Dark. Really fun talking with him.
630
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:49.480
Man.
631
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.119
He was on my Halloween episode last year and I
632
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.720
was sticking back. You know how he talks about going
633
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:56.720
to conventions and stuff, and he had a funny story
634
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.440
about how it was seen from Father the Bride come convention,
635
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.640
somebody brought a prop based on his his scene from
636
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:05.759
that movie, so let him talk about it. So check
637
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:08.720
it out here, Ira Hayden here on the Infinite Banter podcast.
638
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:11.759
And then then I got to have a small part
639
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.160
in a movie called Father of the Bride.
640
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:14.799
Yeah.
641
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.160
Man, So Steve Martin is one of my all time
642
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.079
favorite anything. I'm not just comedians. The Jerk is like
643
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.720
my favorite comedy. I have some of his albums And
644
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:26.920
when I saw that movie, I remember the first time
645
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:28.480
in that scene with the hot dog buns, were just
646
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.759
going ballistic about the amounts of buns and there just
647
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.880
talk about working with Steve Martin in that movie and
648
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.160
getting that, you know, that role to play that that
649
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.839
scene with him.
650
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.920
So I'm trying to remember if it was the costume
651
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.799
designer on on Elvira who told me that I should
652
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.279
audition for that movie Father of the Bride. So I
653
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.119
went in and I was put on tape, and then
654
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:57.079
they brought me back and they they cast me, and
655
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.599
I'm thinking, Okay, you know, I'm not a huge line
656
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.759
or it's like a like a maybe ten pagde scene
657
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.160
or somethinghere our ten ten lines in that scene.
658
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:09.039
But I'll do it sure, you know, with Steve Martin, to.
659
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.440
Be you know, on there with him, it'd be amazing because,
660
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.680
like much like you, growing up, he was my favorite comedian.
661
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.680
Him and George Carlin used to watch Steve on Saturday Night.
662
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:25.119
Live, you know, wild and crazy guys and excuse me.
663
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.319
Stick yeah.
664
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:30.000
Yeah.
665
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.960
So I once I got the job, I was super psyched.
666
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.200
And then my first line in the movie is excuse me, sir,
667
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.440
what are you doing? So I think I'm going to
668
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.799
be funny Mark. And We're going through rehearsal again early
669
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.519
in the morning, seven o'clock or so, and I meet
670
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.680
Steve for the first time, and the director says, all right,
671
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.200
let's just run this rehearsal and action, and so I
672
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.759
yell as loud as I can excuse me, it's yeah,
673
00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:59.279
but nobody else really laughed.
674
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.880
Oh good thing.
675
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:04.920
It was.
676
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.799
It was bad, but I got a smirk out of Steve,
677
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.119
and then U they said all right, let's try it again.
678
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.079
So but then on I didn't do any silly stuff.
679
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.000
I'm straight laced now. I'm just gonna do through the line.
680
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:20.279
And you know what though, I mean, I'm sure Steve
681
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.039
appreciate even though he maybe didn't show an over the
682
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.319
top gesture that he did.
683
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.519
But yeah, I think I think somewhere deep down he
684
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.480
did appreciate it.
685
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:32.880
That's great. Excuse that's oh man, that's.
686
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:35.839
And I've ran into him several times since and how
687
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.640
I usually start my excuse me, Steve, we worked together
688
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.079
on Father Oh yeah, so how are you good to
689
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:41.400
see you?
690
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:45.480
That's great. And he's right about the hot dog bun
691
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.319
count too, So that is a dilemma for many people
692
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:49.400
who it's a problem.
693
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:50.680
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
694
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.079
It's a conspiracy. The hot dog people and the buns
695
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:55.319
people got together.
696
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.000
And they do they think the American people are just
697
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:01.440
a bunch of trusting knit with Oh you know something, Mark,
698
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:05.279
that's at I was at I think again, wasn't No,
699
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.759
it wasn't So. I was in I was in Chicago.
700
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.880
I was at Days of the Dead, and this family
701
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.759
came to me with their uh ten year old uh huh,
702
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.720
and they wanted to record me saying my lines. And
703
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:23.279
he did the full on Steve Martin lines monologue. He
704
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:25.359
memorized it all. It was amazing.
705
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.240
Did he bring like a pack of hot dog buns
706
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.880
with him for you to sign no.
707
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.680
No, he just did the lines. But it was great.
708
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:35.680
That's awesome. Yeah. See, and that little scene, you know,
709
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.759
it's just a small part of that movie, but it
710
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:41.960
resonates years and years later, and I think it it's
711
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.079
just great. That's awesome, and I wish I would have
712
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.200
seen it that days of a dead convention. One of
713
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.119
these days, you'll probably make it back out to Chicago.
714
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.960
There's always an excuse to come out here, man.
715
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:53.359
So I'll have I'm sure I will be back.
716
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.319
Yes, there you go, speaking of the eighties, we'll be back.
717
00:32:56.319 --> 00:33:00.319
It'll be come in the conventions. There you go. Yes,
718
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:02.480
you were almost up for that part.
719
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.440
You just didn't quite know most it just wasn't bulking
720
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:06.920
up enough.
721
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.240
I'm guessing the main thing you do is get pictures
722
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.400
from like ren ELM. Street, right, the scene with you
723
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:15.759
and Freddy going at it.
724
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.880
Yeah, Hallway, that's pretty much. I'd say about seventy percent.
725
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.640
I have signed a couple of Zapped Again posters. I
726
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:30.559
have signed a few DVDs from Illegally Yours, and a
727
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.920
bunch of posters for Alvira. I do very like eight
728
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:37.440
by tens of those. Some some pictures from that movie,
729
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.160
which is great.
730
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.000
After you did Part three, was there a point where
731
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.279
you started to get recognized or like when you're walking
732
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.960
down the street, maybe someone says, oh, that's that's the guy,
733
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.319
that's the wizard guy from Part three? Was there was
734
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.839
there like a change in you know, your life as
735
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.559
far as that goes.
736
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.799
I mean not in a huge way, but yeah, when
737
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.960
I especially when I would be out of town, out
738
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.640
of LA because you know, in LA you could see
739
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:04.559
George glunated Starbucks, Definitely it was like, oh, oh you
740
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.079
were the guy.
741
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.039
Yeah, Oh my gosh, I liked I loved you in
742
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:08.159
that movie. You were so good.
743
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:08.880
Yeah.
744
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:13.840
So definitely getting recognized a little more, right, and it's fun.
745
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.719
It's nice, yeah man. And did you have any idea
746
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:18.480
if you would be in part four? Was it always
747
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:20.920
written at your character would not survive three because some
748
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:22.559
of them went on to part four.
749
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:26.199
And yeah, it was always written that way, And Chuck
750
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.119
Russell even said that the editors said that they're not
751
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.800
going to like the fact that they killed me.
752
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.840
They should have brought me back. But it's all right.
753
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.039
I went out with a with style, I guess.
754
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:35.480
Oh yeah.
755
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:36.760
The wheelchair was souped up.
756
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:36.960
Man.
757
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.400
It had like spikes on the on the wheels and
758
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.840
it was something straight out of like Pit my right
759
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.159
or something. It was pretty Yeah, it was huge.
760
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.880
It was a huge They had two of them and
761
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:49.239
they were huge and heavy.
762
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:49.760
Yeah.
763
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.079
Man, he definitely gave Freddy the first couple of jabs
764
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.800
in that movie because he went down eventually. So you
765
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:57.159
got you were the first one to really take a
766
00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:57.800
punch at him.
767
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:02.320
So I tried, yeah, because yeah, because I think after
768
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.840
my death, is Jennifer Rubin right with the uh.
769
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.360
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's a kid. I
770
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:11.199
was what we were saying movie eighty seven, so I
771
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:11.840
was like maybe.
772
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.039
Yeah. Came out in February eighty seven.
773
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.719
I think I was like twelve years old or something,
774
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.440
and I remember watching it and I'm like, this is
775
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:20.519
a drug thing. This is crazy, all right. Yeah, such
776
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:23.320
a such a great movie. I just remember fondly of
777
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:26.159
that film and of this Freddy series. It is probably
778
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.480
my favorite. The first one's obviously to win. Most people
779
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.239
like the most. But there's something special about you guys,
780
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.800
you know, with that Part three Dream Warriors movie just
781
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:34.840
an all time classic.
782
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.519
Mm hmm, thanks man, Hi, It's Russell Todd.
783
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.480
I want you to check out Infinite Banter and I
784
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:42.079
just did a podcast with Mark and you'll know me
785
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.159
from Friday the Thirteenth, Part two, Chopping Mall. He knows
786
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.280
You're alone, Another World, the soap Opera and NBC and
787
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:51.159
a few other things. So hope you enjoy it.
788
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:52.800
It's time for you to leave Aholes.
789
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.719
That is Kirk Krassovato. Tell me to get the heck
790
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.440
out of here. Need is exactly what I'm going to do.
791
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.039
But as usual, I have one last thing before I go,
792
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.920
before he slams the door on me. So people listening
793
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.480
to this show they know I'm a huge Friday thirteenth
794
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.719
Jason fan. Like Slash movies in general, Jason himself is
795
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.119
that guy.
796
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.400
For me.
797
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:11.320
It's anything he does. I'm watching it. I'm fully aware
798
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:15.119
that not everybody's a fan or not. Everything that's Jason
799
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.639
related is good, but I don't care, still watch it whatever.
800
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.639
So just recently Angry Orchard and I don't know how
801
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.800
they got involved. It's a alcoholic beverage. First of all,
802
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.960
there's drinks out there. I got to get to my
803
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.079
local binnies and see they have them. Where there's cans
804
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:32.280
of this Angry Orchard cider with Jason on them. So
805
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:34.719
I gotta go get some, try it and maybe do
806
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:38.639
a review on the podcast. Here they are sponsoring this
807
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:42.639
new fifteen minutes short, So it's fifteen minutes. It's shorter
808
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:44.840
than this episode you're listening to. You can go on
809
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.400
YouTube just type in Sweet Revenge Jason and you'll find it.
810
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.239
It's not called Friday thirteenth, but it's part of the universe.
811
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:54.679
It's it's Cannon and it basically is a really quick
812
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.800
story of you know, a bunch of people go to
813
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.199
the camp Crystal Lake and thing happened. I mean, there's
814
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:03.480
really nothing new in that idea of it. There's a
815
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:05.920
lot of controversy about the mask. Some people don't like
816
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.320
the mask as much. I think it's fine. I think
817
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:09.920
they can make it a little bit better. So the
818
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.840
main character in this short, she's on a boat. She
819
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.320
falls into the lake because Jason grabs her, and she
820
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.960
comes out of the lake and you're like, wow, she
821
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.039
made it. She's alive. Not really, she's alive, but she's
822
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.519
like zombifide or something like, she's not normal. And they're
823
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:26.719
kind of putting out there that The idea is that
824
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.880
Crystal Lake has some sort of like magical powers, that
825
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.159
somebody dies in that lake, they come back as like
826
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:36.480
this zombie killer, which Jason has been throughout all these
827
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:39.599
movies and never explained why he doesn't die or you know,
828
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.599
why he survived drownding in that lake, and I think
829
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.400
that's what they're trying to do here, they're setting up
830
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.280
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this kind
831
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.920
of way of doing it, but it was pretty cool,
832
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.320
and you know, there's some really cool kill scenes in it.
833
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.079
Hard to really get attached to any of the characters.
834
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.639
You only have really like twelve thirteen minutes to even
835
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:58.000
get to know any of them before the credits are rolling.
836
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.400
So I definitely recommend anybody out there watching if you
837
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:03.000
got fifteen minutes, go check out Sweet Revenge. I've got
838
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:06.000
to find some Jason cans from Angry Orchard. I want
839
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.039
to try this stuff. I guess I gotta keep the can.
840
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:09.760
I guess because he's on the cover of it. So
841
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.119
definitely go check it out. It's on YouTube. It's free,
842
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:13.559

with your fifteen minutes and watch a little Jason and
844
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:19.360
sip something from Angry Orchard. Give me some sponsors Angry
845
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.039
Orchard for saying your name like four times in his podcast.
846
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:24.400

851
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.159
in his podcast here. And as cool Kim once accused
852
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:40.639
me of when I asked him to the drop for
853
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:43.679
a two hundred episode, Yeah, he just reworks old material
854
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.719
and somehow got to two hundred episodes. Not quite true,
855
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:50.119
but it is today because this is a rework definitely
856
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:54.679
recycled material. But whatever, who cares you do six years?
857
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:56.840
It is the two hundred episodes and then you could
858
00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.400
do some reusing of content. I don't see what the
859
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.239
problem with that would be, right, Shout out to my
