Thinking Outside The Long Box

Have you watched, what at the time of it's release, was the number one show on Netflix? If you haven't watched this yet, it is definitely time for you to go to Netflix, and check out Sweet Tooth! Stemming from the mind of Jeff Lemire, which originated in comic book form, this series promised to be full of darkness and vigor!"A boy who is half human and half deer survives in a post-apocalyptic worl...

We are BACK at the interview round table! Today we are speaking with someone who has been drawing comics, and going into other projects, for over sixty years! That is a lot of time spent, putting your ideas on paper, and he has perfected his art! We are speaking with artist extraordinaire, Glenn Head!  "Glenn Head was born in 1958 in Morristown, New Jersey, and began drawing comics when he was fou...

Come on everyone, you know by this time, what the plan is!! We go live at the end of our sessions, and this is one of those magical episodes!! We generally try and include our listeners into the conversation, and get them to recommend some topics for us!! Hopefully in the future, you'll join us for an episode, and we'll include all of your topics! SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | P...

Though Jupiter's Legacy had it's slower moments, and maybe could have been shortened by a couple of episodes, it also had it's moments where it was spectacular. It had it's moments, where the visuals were beautiful, and the story was all there between the characters. Unfortunately, we won't be getting a follow up to the first season, as Netflix has already decided that Jupiter's Legacy has been ca...

If you're like most of us, you haven't gotten the zombie fatigue yet! Maybe you're tired of The Walking Dead, and it's spinoff's, but you're always hungry for another good zombie story? Well, we're here to talk about the latest entry into the genre, and you can decide whether or not you think it's a worthy entrant into the zombie ring!!  Of course, we're talking about the newest film by Zack Snyde...

It's time to step back to the very early 2000's, for our next pop culture classic!! Chosen by Jason, we're going back to a time, in France, where there was a lot of ruffles!! We are of course, speaking about the 2002 movie, The Count of Monte Cristo! The Count of Monte Cristo was originally a novel, written in 1844, by Alexandre Dumas. From that time, it has been remade into movies, at least twent...

If you're a fan of weird anthology series, that are absolutely stunning to the eye, as you watch, then this episodes topic is definitely for you! The first season of Love, Death + Robots debuted on Netflix with an eighteen episode first season on March 15th, 2019! It was popular enough, that a second season was greenlit, which is the season that we focused on for today's episode! The second season...

You know what time it is everyone!! We'd already spoken about Jupiter's Legacy, Return To Oz, and The Empty Man, and it was time that we went LIVE in order to try and interact with our listeners!!! If you don't know yet, we ALWAYS have a LIVE episode, at the end of our recording sessions, in order to try and involve you, the listeners!! So, for this episode, we had a little bit of overflow from th...

It's interview time, and boy do we have a massive interview, both literally and figuratively! We had the chance to speak with Jax himself, from Mortal Kombat Annihilation! This is the second Jax in the universe, with the first Jax only showing up for a matter of seconds in the original Mortal Kombat, and a reboot of Jax in the most recent Mortal Kombat having a ton of the spotlight put on him.  Re...

Lately, we've been doing a good amount of topics, that have their roots in comic books! This episode is no different. The Empty Man started as a comic book in 2014, by Cullen Bunn & Vanesa Del Rey! The comic book was then converted into a movie in late 2020!"On the trail of a missing girl, an ex-cop comes across a secretive group attempting to summon a terrifying supernatural entity."This is a str...

We're back with another awesome interview episode!! And what a HUGE story teller do we have in store for you now!! We're coming at you with the author of the New York Times best seller, Bird Box, which was his DEBUT novel, Josh Malerman!! He's back at it with Goblin, a novel in six novellas!  "Goblin seems like any other ordinary small town. But with the master storyteller Josh Malerman as your to...

It's time, to go back in time! The story of this next pop culture classic, seems to be a little bit of a bumpy road! We're going back thirty five years, to 1985!! Now, some say that this IS a sequel, some say that it's an unofficial sequel, but either way, it DOES follow the time after the Wizard of Oz. We are, of course, talking about Return To Oz!  In 1954, Disney buys the rights to the rest of...

Our next subject can be a little heavy at times, and a little slower at times. It has those times where we're really rooting for the good guys, and times where we really think the good guys are pieces of crap! This is the story of a family who has gone through a VERY rough time in their lives, with their business going down in shambles, and the suicide death of their father. We are of course talki...

We are BACK at it, with another awesome interview episode! If you're looking for a an interviewee with a some giant brains, Andy is definitely going to be someone you want to listen to!! We are talking to Andy Weir about his novel, Project Hail Mary, which you can buy right now!  "The only hope for humanity rests with Dr. Ryland Grace — if only he could remember his mission. Andy Weir, the bestsel...

LET'S GO!!! We absolutely LOVE to go live because it gives us the opportunity to do our best in order to get our listeners, to interact with us more and more! The conversation carries over a little bit from the last three episodes, speaking about Mortal Kombat! We're able to speak a little bit more about that, plus more about the off topic, topics, that we have experience over the last two weeks!!...

Here we are the end of our Mortal Kombat triathlon! So far we have taken a deep dive into the old favorites. We spoke about the original 1995, Mortal Kombat, that brought us the most familiar aspects of one of our favorite video games! Then we spoke about the sequel, Annihilation, which was supposed to move us beyond the tournament, into earths mightiest heroes, defending the earth realm, against...

Keeping on brand with our Mortal Kombat theme, it's time to jump two years forward, from the original! There are many people that think this movie was a big step backwards from the original. For me personally, it holds a weird special place in my heart, though I know that it wasn't the greatest movie, or the better sequel. But it introduces many new characters, that we all loved from the video gam...

MORTAL KOMBAT! We are going back to 1995 in order to speak about the very first Mortal Kombat movie that came out!! With the release of the third in the series, the reboot, we decided that now was the time to create and all Mortal Kombat set of sessions!!  Mortal Kombat, of course, stems from the video game series of the same name!! This game has spawned VERY popular titles, with many popular char...

It's been a long couple of weeks! We are doing our best during everything that is still going on in the world! After a long night of talking, here we are at the LIVE episode! We do our best, to try and engage with our listeners, and get their opinions on topics that THEY have engaged in, during the last two weeks as well!  We hope that you will join in on a LIVE episode in the future! They're a lo...

This episode is a little different, and quirky than we are normally accustomed too. Tim had the idea that we do a documentary episode. But instead of just choosing a documentary to talk about, we decided that ALL three of us would choose a documentary to watch, and then talk about. So, this episode technically has three topics within the one episode! Juan chose to speak about the documentary title...

I'm not quite sure how to describe our next episode, which is also our pop culture classic! We're going back to 1985, in order to talk about a tale that is as old as time. You know, the one about a Hawk, and a Wolf? You don't remember that tale? Well, for this episode, we're talking about the film, Ladyhawke!  Ladyhawke is the tale of two lovers who end up being cursed! Due to this curse, the two...

There aren't that many (per capita) shows that are created from comic books. Of those, we do our best to try and speak about as many of the as we can, when they hit live. THIS is one of those topics, that we were pretty excited about getting into? Robert Kirkman, obviously super popular because of his Walking Dead comic book, but also because of the role that he has played in the Walking Dead TV s...

It's LIVE episode time!! What is going on everyone!! You know the story by now. Every time we get together to record a session, we record a LIVE episode! We do our best to try and get our listeners involved in these live episodes, so that we can talk about some of the items that they are passionate about! So, hopefully you'll join us the next time, so that we have some different items to talk abou...

Have you ever wondered how we, as a society, know as much as we do, about how bodies decompose? How do we know what bodies will do, once they're subject to different conditions? Well, you need to do a little bit more research about a little something that they call, a body farm. A body farm is literally a location that is full of dead bodies, that are decaying, in different conditions! You feel th...

Not too long ago, we all watched the original Justice League movie, and not too long ago, we all pretty much hated it! We thought that the original movie, had pretty much destroyed any possibility of a deeper DCEU future. If they can't make a team up movie correctly, how well would a connected universe even work?  BUT, NOW we have the Justice League Snyder Cut!! For those who don't know, Zack Snyd...
