Blazing Caribou

Today the crew of Brokebot Mountain invites Podcaster J Hammond C  to discuss  a little known movie set in the year 1999, filmed in 1995 “Strange Days” directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by James Cameron.  Hammond talks to us about his new Climb Out Network and the relationship between addiction and this very odd and strange film.    All this and more this week, this week on Brokebot Mountain!

During the last days of the old millennium, the movie tells the story of Lenny Nero, an ex-cop who now deals with data-discs containing recorded memories and emotions. One day he receives a disc which contains the memories of a murderer killing a prostitute. Lenny investigates and is pulled deeper and deeper in a whirl of blackmail, murder and rape. Will he survive and solve the case?

Climb Out to Sobriety was created to provide an online sober living community for those with a sincere desire to remain in a supportive recovery environment.  We strive to provide a cost effective alternative support group where and when you need it most.  We believe online support offers the convenience many people need, and offers the member the ability to carefully consider their words and interactions with others.

On today’s show we discuss Substance Abusers in Comics! You may think that the Hero always gets the bad guy, But did you know sometimes they go down a dark path like Heroin or Alcohol to cope with their own demons? Our own, sketch comedian Imran and special guest star J Hammond C are live and on the drawing boards.

Drug addiction is a tricky subject to deal with taste and accuracy in any kind of fictional narrative, much less mainstream comic books, which are meant to entertain with stories about people with powers mostly hitting things more than anything else. Having said that, addiction to substances is a real world problem, and if modern comics are going to reflect the human condition in any way, then addiction to substances is something that has to come up occasionally. Whether or not they do it well is a matter of taste, I suppose, but nevertheless, there are characters who have taken have battled substance addictions and won, and some who lost. 

Marvel almost released the “Child’s Play” story without Comics Code approval, but editor Denny O’Neil objected.

What was going to be in Daredevil #167-168 originally was a special two-parter involving Daredevil and the Punisher called “Child’s Play,” that dealt with young people getting addicted to drugs. The Comics Code would not approve of the issue. However, after some changes to the Comics Code, the issues eventually saw publication (with some slight edits) in Daredevil #183-184…

However, what’s fascinating is that the comic book actually had TWO chances to still see publication before Daredevil #183-184!

Denny O’Neil, editor of the series, said no. The whole point of the arc was to have it reach as wide an audience as possible, so he did not want the book to be just a specialty item. That turned out to be the right call, as the Code relaxed its drug standards and the issues ended up reaching a wide audience a couple of years later.
