The Black Box

This weeks “massive edition” of The PKD Black Box starts off with Shawn having a conversation with MC Adam Warrock (aka Eugene Ahn) about his new album “The War For Infinity,” the “West Coast Avengers Mixtape,” hip-hop & geekdom and even rappers that can communicate with dolphins.

Then Jason Wood from the 11 O’ Clock Comics podcast stops by to talk about college life, Busta Rhymes, and everything you need to know about M.A.S.K. as he and Shawn go all nostaligic. Last, but definitely not least co-host Jon Carroll stops by as he and Shawn have a solid interview with talented creator Chris Eliopolous (Lockjaw & The Pet Avengers) as we discuss all-ages comics, the art of lettering, why having talent at times can be overrated, and the hard work that’s necessary to make comics.

Shout-outs to DJ Ruckus Roboticus, Cookiehead Jenkins & the Pontiac Fiero. Enjoy!

Get ready as Donny tells you the gruesome tale of Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #3! Be on the lookout for the following: drug abuse, dead alley-cats, domestic fights, ghost druggies & kicks to the face! This is truly one of the most depressing comic books of all time. But somehow, Donny finds a way to make it fun. Enjoy.

This week Shawn talks with artist/webcomic creator Michael Schwartz of Oceanverse as they discuss his comic, some comic strip inspirations & history, attempting to reach audiences on the web, Seaquest, and the power of the Centurions cartoon. Later in the show Shawn has a conversation with Mike Pampinella & Monnie Aleahmad of Evil Money Comics as they talk about the road to indie comic creation, their first Anthology Comic Book, building books from the ground up, and old school arcade games.

Enjoy, and always know that Pit-Fighter is an awful video game.

This week Donny tackles the sci-fi future of “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” #7 from 1980!

This week the show concludes its “Favorite 80's Action Films” talk as Shawn is once again joined by Matinee Idles/Burden’s World host Matt Burden and the man of many podcasts, Donny Salvo! Sit back and enjoy the chaos, car crashes, destruction, Rambo teaching children, Sean Connery imitations, tangents galore, and Matt trying to convince Shawn & Donny why “Turner & Hooch” is on his list of favorite 80's action flicks.

This week’s show Shawn talks about/reviews Adam Warrock’s West Coast Avengers Mixtape, Tim Fischer’s web comic “Life With The Wife,” waxes about some Star Trek: TNG casting that never happened, and is later joined by Matinee Idles hosts Joey Auliso & Alec Berry as they have a roundtable discussion about the state of the film industry as the PKD Black Box/Matinee Idles collabo month continues. Grab your popcorn, throw away your 3D Glasses, find that Puff Daddy CD from the 90’s that you loved so much (you know you loved it, so please don’t front), and enjoy the show.

There are plenty of punches, kicks, gunshots, explosions, montages and body counts delivered when Matinee Idles host Matt Burden stops by to discuss with Shawn some of their favorite 80’s Action Movies of all time! The PKD Black Box/Matinee Idles collabo month continues. Get ready! Matt is still waiting on for his screenplay of Lethal Weapon Jr. to be adapted into a live-action film. If WB is interested, he’s all ears.

Enjoy the show.
