Fandom Sessions

We spoke with comic book author Eliot Rahal, who has penned hit titles such as Bleed Them Dry, Cult Classic: Creature Feature, Divinity, and Amelia Aierwood. Having worked with some of the most beloved indie comic publishers, his latest venture takes him to Mad Cave Studios for Under the Influence. The debut issue arrives at local comic shops on July 5th and tells the story of Paul Kozac who inadvertently creates an internet cult called The Hot Dog Party. Elito shares the idea behind this insane premise for a comic that is oddly relatable and touches on many issues, the structure of social media, and some of the communities amongst it today. Check out the full conversation and be sure to grab your copy of Under the Influence #1 on NCBD on July 5th.

Welcome back for another round of Fandom Sessions. We had the chance to sit down and chat with the wonderful Patton Oswalt & Jordan Blum (M.O.D.O.K. Head Games) to talk about the upcoming release of Minor Threats Vol. 1. The collected edition will arrive at your favorite local comic shops on June 21st and brings you the first collected issues of the superhero universe being crafted by the frequent collaborators for Dark Horse Comics. The series introduces us to a dark, gritty, and comedic superhero universe that shines a light on the "blue collar" villains which sometimes are foreshadowed by those clown princes with high therapy bills or pointy-eared vigilantes. Patton and Jordan give us details on the series while also answering some fan questions that include a short discussion on Ratatouille's classification as a "mecha" anime. Thanks for sticking around and remember to geek out & geek responsibly.

Welcome back to another episode of Fandom Sessions as we sit down with actor, writer, and director Joe Lo Truglio as he discusses his feature film directorial debut for the film 'Outpost".

This all leads to a fire lookout in the mountains that sees the woman's trauma and PTSD take its toll in isolation. Truglio shares his process of taking on a film of this magnitude and dealing with darker tones than what we have seen him in before as he famously brought laughs to us in much of his previous work including Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The film premieres this Friday, May 19th, 2023 in select theaters and Video On Demand.
