  • Needless Things Podcast 75 – The Films of Wes Craven
    Phantom
    Troublemaker and the Needless Things Irregulars talk about the career
    and impact of Master of Horror Wes Craven in the newest Needless
    Things Podcast!
    This
    week Phantom is joined by Beth V, R.T. Ewell, and Devlin in the very
    first all-contributor episode of the show.
    Wes Craven passed away
    on August 30th,
    2015, but over the course of his life he accomplished something few
    do – he created a legacy that will be remembered for decades, if
    not centuries. It would be difficult to overstate the impact that
    Craven had on modern horror. He innovated at every turn and created
    two of the most noteworthy and successful franchises the genre has
    ever seen – A
    Nightmare on Elm Street
    and Scream.
    Each Craven production had an originality and wit that marked it as
    his, and yet he played with varied tones and styles with ease. Not
    every film was a success, but they all bear a common theme – Wes
    Craven pushing himself to always evolve and do new things. Even if
    those new things meant taking a wry look at the old.
    Listen
    in as Beth, Phantom, Devlin, and Rich share their memories and
    personal experiences with the films of a true legend – Wes Craven!

  • Needless Things Podcast 74 – Marc Alan Fishman of Unshaven Comics
    Phantom
    Troublemaker met the fine fellows of Unshaven Comics
    at Dragon Con this year and liked 'em so much he had to have them on
    the Needless Things Podcast!
    This
    week Phantom is joined by Marc – artist, writer, and co-owner of
    Unshaven Comics and co-creator of the flagship title, The Samurnauts.
    Unshaven Comics was
    forged in a mighty fire of lifelong friendship. What started out as
    pipe dreams discussed over the junior high school lunch table, has
    become that which the boys never thought would be; Unshaven Comics
    has become a legitimate independent publisher of original comic
    books. Late in 2006, Marc Alan Fishman, Matt Wright, and Kyle Gnepper
    were commissioned to create an original graphic novel. Knowing that
    three unknown names would do nothing for the populace in general, the
    boys decided a unified company name and swanky logo would unite
    people behind this odd amalgamation of talent. In May of 2008,
    Unshaven Comics brought it’s first book, The March: Crossing
    Bridges in America to the world (and convention tables of Chicago).
    Shortly thereafter, the boys hunger to create grew… thus Unshaven
    Comics launched into it’s present mission: To make comic books,
    make friends, and gain a legion of fans. But what’s the deal with
    the facial hair?
    Listen
    in as Marc and Phantom talk about the history of Unshaven Comics,
    self-publishing in the modern world, Kickstarter, and even pro
    wrestling!

  • Needless Things Podcast 70 – Dragon Con 2015: The ESO Network
    2015
    Dragon Con coverage continues on the Needless Things Podcast! In this
    week’s episode, Phantom talks to Mike Gordon and Mike Faber of the
    Earth
    Station One Podcasting Network!
    A
    few years ago Mike and Mike invited Phantom onto the ESO Podcast to
    talk about the Doctor
    Who story
    “The Keeper of Traken”. You can listen to that here:
    Earth
    Station One Episode 98: Classic British Sci-Fi
    The
    next day the guys offered Phantom the co-host spot on a new Doctor
    Who podcast they were launching – Earth
    Station Who.
    While Needless Things had already been an entity for several years
    prior to this, being on ESW inspired Phantom to start his own show,
    the Needless Things Podcast.
    In
    addition to that, the relationship with ESO opened the door for
    Phantom to become a part of Dragon Con – whether it was sitting on
    or hosting panels, creating game shows, or providing media coverage.
    Listen
    now as Phantom, Mike Gordon, and Mike Faber talk about their history
    with Dragon Con and what 2015 has in store for the ESO Network and
