Originally Aired: 11/02/18 – Our review of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. We also speak with Tim Rozon and Sharon Taylor.

Show Notes:

We speak with actor Tim Rozon, a.k.a. Doc Holiday on Wynonna Earp, he joins us all about his Kickstarter campaign for the Wynonna Earp graphic novel Bad Day At Black Rock. Tim is the co-writer of the comic alongside Wynonna Earp creator Beau Smith. Tim Rozon is a Canadian actor born in Montreal. Rozon plays Doc Holliday on Wynonna Earp. Rozon also portrayed the character Tommy Quincy on the CTV teen drama, Instant Star. Tim has made guest appearances on many hit shows made in Canada over the last decade. including Rookie Blue, Flashpoint, The Listener, Heartland, Lost Girl, Being Human, Saving Hope and 19-2. He has been a comic fan his entire life and this is the second project he has co-written with Beau. Rozon’s mustache has the power of 10 ordinary mustaches.

Our review of Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina starring Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch and Lucy Davis. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina imagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.

We also speak with actor Sharon Taylor. Sharon is a regular in the genre television world with memorable performances on Stargate: Atlantis and Smallville. She’ll be on to talk about her current role on the 2nd season of Bad Blood, airing Thursdays at 8PM on City TV. Sharon Taylor was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. She first realized her passion for acting during her high school years and loved performing in all the school plays. She worked extensively in theatre for many years before making the leap to TV and film in 2006. Sharon appeared in 12 episodes of Stargate: Atlantis. Sharon is also known for her role as the Kryptonian Faora in season 9 of Smallville and as the evil Empress Amara in the acclaimed web-series Riese. She has since worked on many other different TV shows and movies.

Welcome friends to Back Issue Bloodbath, a comics-centric podcast presented by Geek Hard. Join hosts Andrew Young and Sammy Younan as they get down and dirty in the four-colour world of comic books, focusing on classic stories, new issues, comic creators and hot button topics.

This week on Bloodbath, we take a look at The Silencer, one of the series that’s part of DC’s New Age of Heroes imprint. Written by Dan Abnett and featuring artwork from John Romita Jr., Viktor Bogdonovic and Patch Zircher, Silencer takes place in the criminal underground of the DC Universe. It’s a highly confusing world of double crosses and lots of blood. Check out DC’s take on the book:

She’s one of the DC Universe’s deadliest assassins… and you’ve never heard of her. Super-strong, highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy meta-human abilities, the Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as Leviathan’s chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission… and Talia Al Ghul won’t take no for an answer.

Take a listen to find out what Andrew and Sammy think of this new series.

A special thanks to Penguin Random House Canada for providing a copy of The Silencer Vol. 1: Code of Honor, available now. Pick up yours today.

Welcome friends to Back Issue Bloodbath, a comics-centric podcast presented by Geek Hard. Join hosts Andrew Young and Sammy Younan as they get down and dirty in the four-colour world of comic books, focusing on classic stories, new issues, comic creators and hot button topics.

You ever read a comic and immediately think, “What the hell were they thinking? Why didn’t an editor stop this from going through?” You ever go back to an older story and think that? Did it make you uneasy that this idea or story ever made it to print? This episode of Back Issue Bloodbath is for you! Join us as we relive some of the most cringe-worthy moments in comics. From the whole “Did Carol Danvers give birth to her own rapist?” fiasco of the early 80s to major missteps with Starfire during the New 52, there are plenty of moments that have made us cringe over the years. Some for obvious reasons. Others, you have to really think about it.

Take a listen as Andrew and Sammy each share 5 cringe-worthy comic stories or moments from the long and recent past. Think you can guess which moments made our list? You’ll find out soon enough. There’s even a mention of the almost forgotten Marvel Swimsuit Specials from the early nineties. Try not to cringe too much as you listen to this episode. We hope you don’t get as many flashbacks to bad stories and poor decisions as we did putting it together. (Sometimes, reading comics is hard.) Enjoy?

Have an idea for a certain topic we should cover? Have an indie comic book you’d like us to review? Send us an email at [email protected] with “Back Issue Bloodbath” in the subject line. We’d love to hear from you. And be sure to join our Facebook page for exclusive content. Support us on Patreon.
