In this episode we break down the tragic relationship between film and gaming, and also dive into the storied lore of…story and gaming…

The main obstacle to a good video game adaptation is story... the tasks and challenges are simple but you have hours to fall in love with characters....and time? Time is not something you have a lot of in movies.

That could be why video games don’t make good movies. BUT is there a chance, that maybe with the success of The Witcher we’ll see more video game properties turned into TV shows? Who knows.

Also…here is a link to what many consider to be the first computer based a role playing game…it will have a lot more context once you listen to the show…https://ultima.fandom.com/wiki/Akalabeth

Captain Marvel is the first female fronted movie in the MCU. It’s kind of a surprise too, Black Widow has been front and centre in the MCU since Iron Man 2. AND Captain Marvel is a character who’s had some serious ups and downs in terms of their actual origin. In fact Carol Danvers is actually the FOURTH person to carry the mantle…one of them was even a Skrull! So why Danvers? And why now?

Well today we’ll peel back the layers on the space faring jauggernaut that bears the company name…Captain Marvel…and find out what makes them such a big deal!

And we’ll be joined by one of the best Captain Marvel writers ever…Kelly Thompson!

The Star Wars Holiday Special was released 1978. It's was a TV special and...well it gets a lot of hate. If you've seen it, then you know it’s cheesy, and it has some pretty ridiculous aspects, thanks in part to budget for special effects.  BUT, if you take a look at the time it was broadcast, AND you acknowledge the very tenuous involvement George Lucas had with it…you wonder if he even wanted it made in the first place.

Fred Kennedy will be joined by his producer Dila Velazquez to dig deep and go to a galaxy far far away with Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, your favorite droids R2D2 and C3P0 to celebrate "Life Day" with a few new friends including Boba Fett.

THIS our extra special HOLIDAY broadcast of Issue Zero!

Who is the scariest Marvel Villain? Thanos? No. Glaactus? No. Dr Doom? NO!

It’s Ultron.

I’m serious. Today I’m gonna break down WHY a villain who starred in what many consider to be one of the worst movies in the MCU is actually the most terrifying villain Marvel has ever created. PERIOD. And we don’t just chat with comic book people for this one, we even brought in a legitimate AI expert Fotieni Agrafioti…the HEAD Of Borealis AI and Chief Science Officer at RBC.

She really slices away the myths of AI and gives us the straight dirt. What she said about the future of AI is actually pretty mind blowing. You’re gonna love hearing what she has to say!

Fred Kennedy is here to tell you all about Conan the Barbarian and why you too should fall in love with this TRAGICALLY underrated and misrepresented hero.

We break down the shocking origins of everyone’s favourite loin cloth wearing wanderer…who incidentally didn’t start wearing a loin cloth until the seventies…and no, it wasn’t a fashion choice.

If your only knowledge of Conan is that he’s some guy with a sword and abs who kills monsters, you’re about to get schooled! You’ll learn the historical origins of Conan the Barbarian and how he was an emotional faucet for his creator Robert E Howard. And how just like his creator he’s a tragically misunderstood…and misrepresented figure in comic book history.

Today we’ll be answering the questions “What is a Mandalorian? Who are they? What are their history?” 

It all starts with Boba Fett,  if you’re familiar with Star Wars you know he’s  the bad ass looking bounty hunter who escorts Han Solo encased in carbonite to Jabba The Hutt’s Palace in Return of the Jedi...

If you’re not familiar with him just know that he somehow is a fan favourite despite having only four lines in the original series. It really is wild that a character so trivial, developed such a massive cult following. A HUGE backstory was eventually developed. Books. Comics. Boba Fett even became the catalyst for the first ever live action Star Wars series…The Mandalorian, which you can watch on Disney Plus and the reason we’re talking about him today with the help of Heather Antos a former editor for Marvel Comics. She worked on the company's line of Star Wars comics.

We’re talking Aliens and the Xenomorph, what makes them so terrifying? Could a scenario like Alien happen here on earth?

Your host, not in a parasitic way, Fred Kennedy, takes you through the backstory on the Alien film franchise…and more specifically, its star player…the Xenomorph. He's joined by Johnnie Christmas, who just adapted the original William Gibson screenplay for Alien 3 into a comic for Darkhorse…and is a guy who’s knee deep in the ORIGINAL source material to find our what makes these creatures so terrifying.

To answer whether humanity could survive a xenomorph invasion he looks to an actual scientist, Dan Riskin, former host of Daily Planet and a Canadian evolutionary biologist, television personality and producer. 

Spoiler alert! both guests will not let you sleep at night.
