An uproarious roast of some Modern Art heavy hitters: Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Kazimir Malevich, and Willem de Kooning. The gang rips the lot a gleeful new one, and we all learn why Erin and Bird's fantastic sense for and appreciation of graphic design actually make them dumb!
It's part 1 of the best--and worst!--of Modern Art! Max and Bird chat with Alan and Erin Schug about their favorite modern artists and the movements they elevated. Man Ray (Dada), Emil Nolde (German Expressionism), Alphonse Mucha (Art Nouveau), and Donald Judd (Minimalism). Bonus: everybody's favorite nightmare painter: Francis Bacon!
In which Max and Bird sit down to talk Dr. Strange, Penny Dreadful, Crystal Shops, and Tattoos. Bird gets a spot in an art show, and wall space in an awesome, nerdy gallery! Also: future dadaist cult figure Loran Iris. Also: A Christmas Carol: Hard Drug Edition!
Max, Bird, and Erin tiptoe through the Tate-LaBianca murders, examining the 60s, the hippie movement, Manson's influence on the early punk movement, and just how much LSD is TOO much LSD.
Tattoos, genital piercings, pearling, teeth filing, tongue splitting, body suspension, eye dyeing, scarification, and other sundry body modifications too extreme to even list in the summary! Also: Bird tells the grossest story Max has ever heard!
Part 1 of a long, epic talk on Modern Art and Body Modification. This first part focuses primarily on Modern Art. Also: why Bird hates Moonrise Kingdom, Legal Weed in the big M.E., and our first Maine listeners!
Max and Bird battle illness and exhaustion to chat about Bird's new tattoo, Mike Rutecki's favorite 106 bands, and search tirelessly for the best hot chocolate in the world.
Max and Bird sit down for a tipsy titter about John Carpenter's Halloween, sweating out dumplings, taboos involving the dead, and the unrealistic details of their dream home!
Max and Bird try to solve the mystery of Sherlock Holmes' universal appeal, lament the aimless weirdness of Twin Peaks' second season, dive deep into the witchy symbolism of one of Bird's paintings, figure out their deadlines for success, and try to keep Adam Lowe awake.

About Chat-Man and Robin
From the publisher's feed
Chat-Man and Robin is a weekly talk show, the discussion wandering all over everything from comic books, movies, art, and geek / nerd culture to sex and sexuality, body modification, and everything…
in-between. Married couple Max and Bird dance the dance of the wed into a pair of microphones (read: argue, , and make each other laugh), treating all comers and all subjects with the snarky irreverence honed through years of long, cold winters in northern Michigan. Max (a lifelong geek) does his best to shove Bird (a recent convert to the comics crowd) down the rabbit hole and into nerdworld.
