SoS PODCAST Ep 22: Conjuring 2, Aquaman, Kickstarter 101 & More Jun 18, 2016

Show notes

This week on Secrets of the Sire we dove head first into Kickstarter for Comics craze with Mummy’s Always Right creator Joe Mulvey. But first we posed the question: Can James Wan “conjure” up a cool Aquaman? Fresh off the heels of the box office smash that is Conjuring 2, Wan talked to UpRoxx about the challenge of directing Aquaman.

Check out an excerpt from the podcast:

“He talks to fish. That’s his power. Of course the bar is set low for James Wan. Though I do love the fact that he referenced Entourage’s Aquaman too.'”

Show notes

I give you the behind-the-scenes of my wacky week that started at Wizard World Philadelphia, found me joining Ramona Singer, star of the Real Housewives Of New York, at Bravo Studios and finished up with Gabe Yocum, writer at Double Take Comics giving us the lowdown on Bill Jemas’ new comic book company!

Check out an excerpt from the podcast:

SoS PODCAST Ep 20: Hail Hydra? Haiiiiil NO! We Take On Hydra Cap Jun 03, 2016

Show notes

What better way to celebrate Memorial Day than by making Captain America a Nazi? Or as many keyboard muscles bound internet thugs like to believe, Nick Spencer’s decision to make Captain America a Nazi.

But is it as controversial as people think? And if it’s a gimmick – is that such a bad thing if it gets people reading comics? We talk about all of that with our guest, columnist Marc Lombardi!

Check out an excerpt from the podcast:

“While there are indeed political undertones that reflect Nick’s political leanings (ahem Liberal) I’m here to tell you that it is NOT the end of the world. And there are NO need for death threats. Nick Spencer and Tom Breevort have been interviewed by everyone from your usual suspects CBR and Newsarama to Time Magazine and Entertainment Weekly. Is that a bad thing?”

SoS PODCAST Ep 19: Are We One Hashtag Away From Gay Captain America? May 27, 2016

Show notes

Captain America’s had quite the week! On our latest episode of Secrets of the Sire we welcomed Social Media expert Brian Bish to discuss the impact hashtag campaigns like #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend and #GiveElsaAGirlfriend are having on our movies.

Check out an excerpt from the podcast:

“Which brings us to the latest movement on full display for all the world to download. The #GiveElsaAGirlfriend. And the newest which only just materialized over the past 48 hours: #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend. And an article I posted on the Secrets of the Sire Facebook page: The Gay Star Wars relationship fans have been chatting up between Finn and Poe. You can go to facebook.com/secretsofthesire or SecretsoftheSire.com and click on the latest blog post to read it.

Bottom line? It’s a trend. Not the cause itself. The cause has something very important at its core – inclusion, acceptance, role models – and we’re going to welcome a terrific guest in the next segment who can personally speak to that fact. But thanks to social media its just more static thrown into cyberspace. It’s just more noise. It’s more political views being thrown at people who don’t have time to properly process it.”

Is the DC Movie Universe as far away from competing with Marvel as some people think? Or will Suicide Squad lead DC out of the rear view and into the forefront. We discussed Civil War V DC Universe, the new Tomb Raider and we introduced the new “Spinning The Racks” segment in our latest episode of Secrets of the Sire.

And that’s not all! In preparation for Civil War I’ll be joining the gang from Bad Coyote Funky Thursday 9:30pm ET on Twitch.tv/badcoyotefunky as we break down the original Civil War mini series.

SoS PODCAST Ep 13: MIB 23? 4 Avatar Sequels?? Seriously??? Apr 16, 2016

Show notes

What a wacky movie world we live in! MIB 23, the rumored Men In Black, 21 Jump Street crossover is official.

Yeah, it’s one thing to have something like say Civil War crossing their characters but has every studio gone mad?? Sigh…is this even more ramifications from DC’s movie strategy that includes Batman V Superman, Justice League and Suicide Squad? Or is this something cool?

We welcome our Transmedia guru Jeff Gomez, whose company Starlight Runner helped craft the MIB story universe, to help break down the craziness and give us insight into the new Avatar and Civil War films as well. PLUS: We continue our DC movie debate!
