Episode 64 - GL:TAS Retrospective Mar 18, 2014

Show notes

Co-hosts Bill Giancoli and Myron Rumsey are joined by two guests for this very special episode as we look back on Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Series producers Giancarlo Volpe and Jim Krieg are reunited for episode 64 of The Podcast of Oa and share some memories about the show and let us know what they've been doing since the show went off air about a year ago.

Giancarlo Volpe, Jim Krieg

Myron comments that if the show were still airing we'd be at the end of the second season and asks both men what we'd have seen in the second season and where the show would have ended up going. Jim reveals the facts behind why the show wasn't renewed and how the dollars and cents would make it difficult to produce direct to dvd CGI animated features. We learn where the two are now and where fans can find the projects they are working on today.

Episode 63 - Do Shapeshifters Dream of Electric Sheep? Mar 12, 2014

Show notes

In episode 63 of The Podcast of Oa co-hosts Bill Giancoli and Myron Rumsey discuss the most recent issues taking place in the Green Lantern corner of the DC Universe. The return of Von Daggle and the ensuing battle between John Stewart's Green Lantern squad and the Durlan conjures images of '80's action films (in a good way!) and sparks Bill to praise the creators for continuing to spotlight the non-Earth members of the Corps.

Myron and Bill responds to emails from listeners who have two decidedly different opinions about Kyle Rayner. Talk then goes on to both Green Lantern: New Guardians #28 and Green Lantern #29 before Myron shares news about some upcoming convention appearance and asks the audience to help get the show on I Heart Radio. Myron also announces a special lineup for the next episode, a Green Lantern: The Animated Series retrospective with show producers Giancarlo Volpe and Jim Krieg.
