This week, Pat welcomes long time friend and Editor in Chief of PopHeist, Brett White!  We spend a great deal of time talking about G.I. Joe, the brilliance and the absurdity of the characters and their lore. We also talk about Brett's figure collecting, his long running X-Men fandom, and the origins behind PopHeist. Plus, Brett talks about his drag alter ego: Barb Hardly! We discuss the origin, the preparation, and what type of feelings Barb inspires in him.  A really fun chat, so give it a listen! 

Here is a sampling of Brett's work on PopHeist: https://popheist.com/gi-joe-casting-call https://popheist.com/top-10-marvel-legends-of-2024 https://popheist.com/heist-guide-x-men-where-to-start https://popheist.com/gi-joe-action-figure-collecting-grieving-is-half-the-battle   Check out Brett as Barb in these video links: https://www.youtube.com/@barbhardly https://youtu.be/iNBJh84lhio?si=adWaqlhZTExCX2EW https://youtu.be/UnFyz-l0D8M?si=zOedvsMtMvizSWBn Music for the show by Sleepy Sword.
