Tall Tall Radio is proud to do a co-podcast with the boys over at Comics Coast to Coast this week. Filling in for Brian Dunaway, I take Justin “Mythtickle” Thompson and John “Chippy and Loopus” Sanford on a discussion deep into the realms of mythology. Joining us is the writer and artist behind “Kid Beowulf,” Lex Fajardo. (Volume 2 of his epic saga, “The Song of Roland” is available now…click here!) The four of us talk about the myths that influenced us as kids, the movies we love, and their effect on culture in general. There are side tangents into how McDonald’s Happy Meals affect Hollywood filmmaking, and other fun topics as well!
Also, new this week is “The Lemon List” by newest Tall Tale Features member, Jonathan Lemon, he of the beautiful and surreal “Rabbits Against Magic.” He and I have been bandying about projects to work together on, and I’m proud to present the fruits of Lemon’s labor. He’s a recording artist, comics history buff, and just generally incredibly knowledgeable about the comics world, so join us every week for another installment of The Lemon List. This week, learn about Golden Age strips you should be aware of: “Polly and Her Pals,” “Burp, the Twerp,” and “Gordo!” Go! Learn! Grow! Experience! Thank you, Lemon!
I hate sandals too.
Great show guys!
Great episode guys, I’m a huge fan of Mythology, and of your shows about specific genres. Thanks
I finally got around to listening to this episode. Nice one. I’m totally on board with the Walt Simonson worship… He’s my absolute fave. Anyone interested should get the Modern Masters book dedicated to him. The interview is great and there’s some terrific art in there as well. His run on Thor was terrific, as was his Fantastic Four stories. He posts a lot of interesting sketches and benefit works on his Facebook account as well.
On of my favorite Myth movies was Ulysses with Kirk Douglas…. quite a lusty performance! And of course the Jason and Sinbad movies.
Keep up the good work!
