Vice Press Open Channel

It's been a while, but Matt, Florey and James are back for a brand new episode and hopefully a more consistent schedule. So what have we been up to? What have we been watching? Give us a listen and find out.

Together for the first time in the same place, this special live episode was recorded in front of an audience at Thought Bubble 2022 in what was only a little short of a hostage situation. Matt, James, Tom and Florey discuss the Evil Dead II screening, The Film Vault and working collaboratively on projects. There was also eventually a couple of decent qustions from the audience. Thanks to the team...

With the past couple of months spent travelling the length and breadth of the UK at Thought Bubble and a couple of other conventions, Matt, James, Florey and Tom catch up on what they have been up to over the past few weeks and months, what are Vice Press’ plans for attending conventions in the future, and what have they watched at home and at the cinema? Also, find out how you can get an Open Cha...

Matt and James are back from TF Nation and since the Watchalong episode, not a lot has happened. James still hasn't watched Prey. Matt is exhausted. Tom is overheating and Florey is overworked. So if you like Open Channel when the chat is at its most random, this is the episode for you!

The Transformers is a topic that comes up more often than it warrants during these episodes, but for once with good reason. Matt, Florey, James and Tom host a watchalong of the 1986 movie using a new poster release by Matt, from Moor Art in collaboration with Vice Press, as an excuse.

This past weekend saw SDCC return for its first in person event in a few years and in terms of trailers, Marvel went big! James, Florey, Tom and Matt share their unsolicited views on all that, as well as the usual chat and opinions about what they have all been watching lately. There’s also some news and teases about upcoming Vice Press releases and events!

Thor: Love and Thunder is out now and we thought what better way to celebrate than with thoughts and opinions that nobody asked for? Be warned, there are spoilers in this episode from the get go, so maybe give Thor: Love and Thunder a watch before you tune in, eh?

It has been a few weeks since the last episode and there is plenty to catch up on. Top Gun: Maverick, Obi Wan and questions from the listeners (or viewers? Who knows). We are also ditching the series format and just going with numbered episodes in the hope that we actually get more regular and release an episode every two weeks! Don't forget, send your questions into open channel@vice-press.com

Recorded in front of an audience live at Thought Bubble 2021, Matt and James are joined by artists Raid71, Andrew Swainson and Drew Millward to talk about their latest releases. There's questions from the audience, a powerpoint presentation and the usual chit-chat and too much corduroy.

It’s been a while since the gang have been together and there is a lot to cover in this pre-recorded episode. Doctor Strange, Dune and Batman posters, male body grooming and bingo balls. Don’t forget, email us in with your questions, comments and thoughts to openchannel@vice-press.com

Matt, Florey and Tom are a man down this episode and take to the air without James this episode, who is away on holiday. We know not everyone can tune in to the Open Channel live stream. Some people have actual lives and responsibilities. So we have launched a new mailbox where you can send in your questions, comments, thoughts and criticisms and in this episode we dive into the first batch of tho...

Daylight savings time has spun us all for a loop, so for the next few episodes of season 2 we have switched the live stream to 1pm BST. That’s British Summer Time. If, you don’t live in the UK, we are sure you can work it out for yourself! This week sees the debut episode of Marvel’s Moon Knight, so we finally get to see what Oscar Isaac’s accent is all about and talk about that. Matt has a brand...

There will be spoilers! You have been warned. There will also be plenty of opinions, that's for certain. If there is one thing we all love, it is a good Batman film, but does R-Patz and Matt Reeves' entry live up to the hype? We will also mention our latest release, Flash Gordon by Paul Mann. Which is still a superhero movie, right?

George Bletsis is back with a new print for Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Super Bowl unleashed a multiverse of new trailers and we had the season finale of The Book of Boba Fett. What a week it has been! Matt, Florey, James and Tom take on all of this, plus find time to rant about the usual nonsense and news.

Open Channel is back for Season 2! Don’t let the fact we have pre-planned the dates of this series trick you into thinking we are any more organised and less irreverent and chaotic. Join Matt, Florey, Tom and James as they catch up on the new film, tv, toy and poster releases of the past few months. There will also probably be Transformers chat. And Ghostbusters.

Get into the festive spirit and join Matt, James, Florey and Tom as they recap the year and talk about some of the great things that came out of 2021 such as their favourite films, television, collectibles, and, of course, posters!

It has been two long years since the last Thought Bubble comic art festival and in this special bonus episode James, Matt, Florey and Tom discuss Vice Press’ releases for this weekend’s convention.

The first Season of 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' is here and so are the Open Channel team to talk about it!

We also discuss Matt’s Cornetto Trilogy prints and finally reveal the elusive The World's End print by Matt. Recorded May 1st 2021 Link - https://vice-press.com/blogs...

In this episode Matt, Florey, James and Tom talk about the latest movie and tv show releases, next week's new release at Vice Press, as well as a few sneak peeks at some upcoming projects! We also take questions from the audience, which is always a risky tactic! Recorded March 27th 2021

WandaVision is here and so is Matt's artwork for the show. We dive into Marvel’s latest Disney+ show as well as the usual off-topic chit-chat. Warning - May contain significant amounts of rollercoaster related ramble. Recorded February 27th 2021

The Open Channel team are joined by guest artist Bella Grace to chat about her latest Jurassic Park movie poster and all sorts of dinosaur related nonsense. Bella Grace has an amazing catalogue of work that includes art for Star Wars, Marvel, Disney and many more that we also dig a little into. Recorded January 30th 2021 Guest @bellagraceart Link - https://vice-press.com/blogs/news/jurassic-park-b...

We talk about the launch of Vice Press Editions with Matt’s releases for Carpenter’s They Live, The Fog, Escape From New York and Prince of Darkness along with new pins and coins by Florey. Recorded November 30th 2020

Hands down our favourite event of the year is always Thought Bubble. Being a convention local to us, it always feels like we are on home turf and gives us the opportunity to meet up and chat with friends old and new. This year Thought Bubble will be heading online with a week long festival of events planned that culminates in the Thought Bubble Digital Comic Con on the 14th to the 15th of November...
