Bruce wasn't around this weekend so Stephen and Jon recorded the BOP on their own... So they'll have to chime in (at least until Bruce can listen) and fill you in on content!

Jon does a solo chat about episode four of season two, and then Stephen and I join him for episode five of season two.

As always on the BOP (bottom of the pile) Stephen, Jon, and I talk about the comics we bought this past week, and the highlights thereof. Then we get into a discussion on "writing for the trade," and writing as a movie storyboard.

I had to take the weekend off, so Stephen and Jon hoped to get together to do a BOP. Apparently Stephen got busy and only Jon recorded, so here's Jon's BOP. I'm all by my lonesome. Will someone give me a hug?

Come join Kevin Wollenweber and me, Rachel Newstead, as we discuss our favorite song and dance man...Bosko?? Yes, that forgotten Looney Tunes and MGM star had some musical chops, and we take an in-depth look at some of Bosko's best "musical" toons.   Be sure to visit the blog The Home For Orphan Toons at http://orphan-toons.blogspot.com. (Don't forget the hyphen between "orphan" and "toons"--unfortunately I did, when I gave the URL at the beginning of the podcast).

Stephen, Jon, and I talk about the latest episode of NBC's Heroes, Season Two, Episode Three, as we spin this segment off into its own podcast. SPOILER WARNING - If you haven't watched the show, you may not want to listen to this episode, because we talk about the whole show. You've been warned! Don't say we didn't tell you!

Stephen, Jon Hook and I share our BOP's (the bottom of our piles). In fact, while we're at it, we share the whole pile! Jon tells us what a Ventric Vesel is!

So you think that you know who Nightwing is, eh? Jon Hook joins me to discuss the original Silver Age Nightwing, and his partner Flamebird. We recount the first appearance and then advise you as to where you can find that story, and the subsuquent appearances of the Dynamic Duo of Kandor! Curiously, we've been talking about doing this episode for some time now, and I'm beginning to wonder if DC has my computer tapped, because this week you can pick up a traded edition of the stories of the Bottle City of Kandor. http://www.dccomics.com/graphic_novels/?gn=8005

Stephen, Jon, and I, round out the show by talking about Heroes, Episode 3, my new podcast, Indie Comic Book Noise, and my recent visit to the N3RDcast podcast.

One hour and six minutes of BOP (bottom of the pile)! Stephen, Jon, and I go in depth on the comics we bought this past week and why we like (or dislike) them.

A call to arms! Help us with upcoming segments of the show! (16:13) Heroes Season Two, Episode Two, and the online web comic. (34:04) Comic Geek Speak Episode 300

We somehow get on the topic of variety TV shows before we launch into the BOP (Bottom of Our Piles) Jon does a review of the Revere TPB available from Archaia Studio Press.

And finally, Bruce again, talks all about his adventure in Lancaster to sit in on the very first N3RDcast Live show on Cringehumor.net (live 12 - 3 on Saturdays) complete with video cast!

Jon's back with us this week to discuss our BOPs (the Bottom of Our Piles), and Stephen "outs" Bruce.

Stephen started the discussion on Iron Man and his apparent new popularity. What has re-vitalizing this character? Then we move on to an off-topic conversation regarding our favorite Ray Harryhausen films. (This show was pulled from the middle of the overall episode 82.)

We start the week off with the BOP (the bottom of the pile) and then close out with some listener emails and some news. The "meat" of the show (the middle part) was clipped and will be posted as KK 82 part 2, probably on Thursday! Has anyone seen Jon? We're getting worried! We haven't heard from him!

I've long had a certain fascination with--and pity for--Max Fleischer. Fascination because he advanced the art and technique of animation when his future rival Walt Disney still struggled with the rudiments of the form in Kansas City. Fleischer's cartoons were fluid and naturalistic when most "animated" cartoons still looked like glorified comic strips. He experimented with sound a full four years before Walt made STEAMBOAT WILLIE, and invented a 3D process (utilizing miniature sets, built and painted to match the "cartoony" look of the foreground characters) that seemed ingeniously simple in comparison to Disney's monstrous multiplane camera. Yet despite the great strides he took in the field of animation, he would not receive proper recognition for it for decades.... (More at http://orphan-toons.blogspot.com)

Jon Hook and Derek Coward (Comic Book Noise Network) join me (Bruce Rosenberger),in discussing the recent BBC show Jekyll. We also discuss our BOPs (the bottom of our piles) for the week. Derek explains the Noisey Awards in detail. Learn how you can be involved in the nomination process!
