Twenty-One Miles

From one set of starts to another. Star Wars: Shadow Stalker is a one off story featuring a apprentice or mercenary of Darth Vader. Which all sounds great in principle. This should have been a series that with the right amount of time and effort would probably be streaming on Disney+ by now. Since they tend to create things from nothing, this could have been something made from something. I'm gett...

So, I lost touch with Star Trek a long time ago. But this is Grab Bag Month and I am at the will of the random draw. Today we take a read of two different Star Trek Comics from the same era. These are both based on 'The Original Series' and focuses on... the later years. Let's get to it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message Hosted on Acast. See ac...

I didn't know who the author was prior to recording todays episode... I have to say this is some dynamite storytelling that took me by suprise and overall I really enjoyed the read. Eclipse Comics seems to have a wide variety in their catalogue. Hopefully this title will not be the last as we continue throughout the year. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerr...

So this is a completely new one to me, I learned a lot about these characters and am interested in reading more. Grab Bag Month can be a tricky one, you hit or miss--this as a standalone felt like a miss. I think the overall story arch is interesting and am looking forward to next time around to see if we grab anymore titles from Valant Comics. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti...

Now I know who Predator is and I am assuming you all do as well. Do you know Magnus? I didn't until today and boy am I interested in seeing more. This is a man who was trained his entire life to hunt robots... Fighting against a being from another planet who was trained its entire life to hunt humans and other assorted prey. So this already sounds like something I could get into... From Dark Horse...

East of the Viking Heroes... Last of the Viking Heroes... I didn't realize until typing this that I said the name of this comic incorrectly the entire show. So I wasn't sure if I should say "Last" or "East" in the title because it may be confusing... So I hope this clears things up. This is from Genesis West, again this is new to me--not sure if there is a Genesis East? Come to think of it that ma...

Yes... Today we are talking about Silver Star. Some of you may be asking... What's exactly is Silver Star? Well until today I would have asked the same question. Luckily we are all on this journey together and on that journey we will learn together. So let's get this started with a grab from Pacific Comics entitled Silver Star. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/r...

It's Grab Bag Month! With a new show that is spinning off an old show--it's important to dedicate one episode to explain what it is we are doing here. So that's what this is all about. What is this show about? Why the change? What to expect in future episodes? All these questions and more will be answered in this, the first official episode of season ten, entitled "Recorded & Boarded" on the T...

Welcome to a new beginning. We have gone back to our roots in the podcast space and will be talking about comics this year. When I started podcasting ten years ago I hosted the Hero Heads Podcast. We talk about different hereoes each episode and the show later evolved to talking about super hero movies and then transitioned into... just movies. Which is a crowded space for podcasts, since everyone...

Even though my contract with Spreaker is ending, it doesn't mean I have to quit podcasting all together. It just means I need to change platforms and transfer my show away from Spreaker and iHeart Radio. I understand a lot of people will lost access to the show in the transfer which is why it is important to get this message out to you. If you want to keep supporting the show, please take time to...

If you listened to our episode two days ago, we need to prepare for our big finale. I said I was going to drink alcohol and I am not about to do that on a Monday. So if you are willing to wait, we will talk to you on Saturday and go over my recent trip to Orlando and have a few drinks. Until then, Farewell Fellow Rangers. Hosted on Acast.

Not that I was able to find one anywhere, but this was a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons that led to organic growth and an increase in revenue. Do you really know Grimace though? Why are we celebrating its birthday exactly? You are going to find out some things about this purple character today along with the McDonald's Corporation. When the chain was founded in 1940 as a restaurant oper...

I had to wait this long to find a place where Coca-Cola made a mistake in marketing. Earlier this year, Coca‑Cola Starlight offered fans a taste of outer space. Now, the second Coca‑Cola Creations offering presents the first-ever Coca‑Cola flavor born in the metaverse. Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar Byte will bring the flavor of pixels to life in a limited-edition beverage that transcends the digital and ph...

It happens everynow and then where billionaires get bored with doing the same thing day in and day out. Sometimes they step down to start new companies, to retire on their own privately owned island, or even go to outer space. When you really don't have a budget to worry about stopping you, the options are endless. Today we will be talking about one of my least favorite social media applications a...

Does rotten food make you hungry? Well Burger King thinks it might. Unfortunatley this did not increase sales or go viral in the right direction. It's all about that viral and sticking it to your competition--at least that has been a Burger King standard for what seems like forever. Apparently royalty can be extremely petty and that is just one of the many things we will be discussing on this epis...

North Face is known as a place to gtet overpriced clothing that was built for extreme conditions. The majority of the people who wear these products do not even know what the Half Dome Summit even is. So, lets educate ourselves and speak on a brand that doesn't need advertising but decided to make a choice to promote their products using a educational resource. Today we talk about a very smart and...

One of the most powerful and profitable companies of the 20th Century failed to evolve to changing retail environment and filed Chapter 11 in 2018. What is the history of Sears, when did we start seeing signs of this, and who can learn from their mistakes? Today we talk about the Amazon on Early 1900's who revolutionized the way people bought things, on this episode of The Ranger Ryan Show. Hosted...

Who knew that all we need to bring the world together is the following ingredients; Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Sugar, Phosphoric Acid, Caffeine, Citric Acid, and Natural Flavor. That's all we need. If someone hates you just give them a Pepsi. This whole world of Jenner's and Kardashian's is new to me. So I am going to mix things up a bit. Let's dive into the backlas...

"The perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night..." That was actually on the bottle. Are you kidding me right now? How did this pass through a marketing team and everyone said 'Awesome idea' let's promote people getting so drunk that no one is going to say 'no' to you. Do we not see what this implies? Is this a legitimate thought or what exactly are we trying to promote here...

Not all products should want us to think about the hardest parts of life. Honestly an insurance company might be one of the few brands where I would think this would be okay. However this did not go over well. Today we will talk about Nationwide's unique campaign that attempted to tug at the hearstrings of consumers and the response from the world, on this episode of The Ranger Ryan Show. Hosted o...

Social Media is a good platform for trending topics and viral products. However... It is not designed to promote every kind of service available. Twitter is a mixed bag and can have several different outcomes, you never really know what you are going to get. In this case the NYPD recieved the opposite of what they wanted. Today we will talk about the NYPD Twitter Campaign on this episode of The Ra...

Imagine a popular company at the top of its game selling some of the most expensive items in their market all comes tumbling down based off of ignorant comments. That's the story we are going to tell you today, along with my opinions on the leggings market and how much it has grown over the years. This is the story of Lululemon on this episode of The Ranger Ryan Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.co...

Welcome to one of the worst marketing campaigns in the history of cinema. I consider this the movie that Marvel killed, not only in the numbers but in the fact that Disney bought Marvel and abandonded this project from a marketing perspective. Imagine a movie that everyone was behind and had a great team behind the scenes with source material that goes back one hundred years and continues to stay...
