Thinking Outside The Long Box

Episode 48 of the Thinking Outside the Long Box Podcast comes to you from the Lair of DOOOM that is Gabe's basement!!

The first part of this episode is dominated by all of the news that is coming out of New York Comic Con! This includes Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Agents of SHIELD (Ghostrider), and much much more!!

For our #PopCultureClassics segment, we talk about one of the most influential comedies ever made, Blazing Saddles. Obviously, with the sad passing of Gene Wilder, our conversation tends to skew towards him, and the awesome role he had as the Waco Kid!! But, we also talk about the awesome effect that Mel Brooks has had on the comedy industry!! If you haven't seen this movie, you definitely are missing out, it's a classic!

HOLY COW do we have an awesome interview for you listeners!! We interview Wes Robinson, who plays "Lane," in the Lionsgate movie, Blair Witch! Wes is such a humble guy, and talks about how grateful he was to be a part of the Blair Witch franchise!! He tells the awesome story of him seeing the original The Blair Witch Project, movie, in the theaters, and finding out that the secret movie he was offered, was in fact, a Blair Witch sequel! He talks about 1 of the easter eggs in the movie, and teases us with the many more that are out there! If you have let people talk you out of seeing this movie, you definitely need to go!! There are so much more different elements to this sequel that make it seem different and fresh! Huge thanks to Wes for giving us this awesome interview, and letting us peek into the life of a horror genre fan!

From talking about the world largest dildo, to our disgusting hotel room for San Diego Comic Con, as well as all the "latest" news from the DC and the Marvel universe!! PLUS, this was a special gathering for the Colorado Comic Book Enthusiast club!! When we meet at HOJ, we always have listeners, and awesome people join us to speak on the show! We spoke about Fort Collins Comic Con, Denver Comic Con, and San Diego Comic Con, with all of these people, and got some pretty cool insight to a few of the different Colorado shows!

As a special event during this episode, we also invited the guys from the Z2 Podcast to join us, and we all played a tense game of SUPERFIGHT!!! Team TOTLB had never played this game before, so team Z2 obviously had the upper hand! It was tense, there were traitors, and there were definitely a lot of laughs!

Coming to you from the hallowed isles of Denver Comic Con, for our SECOND straight show during this event, we bring you the next installment of the Thinking Outside the Long Box podcast!

This is the first year that all three hosts have been at Denver Comic Con for all three days, so we bring you coverage for the whole show! We stop people all over the show so that they can tell us about their costumes, and what they are excited for throughout the show!! You won't want to miss our conversations with the amazing Kenshi, the costumed Elvira, and so many more people! We also bring you TWO amazing interviews!!

The first interview comes from Top Shelf Production's, Benjamin Frisch! He tells us about his novel, The Fun Family! This full color graphic novel has been getting rave reviews, and Gabe absolutely loved reading it before he spoke with Benjamin!! Benjamin also talks to us about his experience in France, and trying to expand his knowledge, in an area that was different, but in a great way!! You definitely need to go check out his novel, it's worth the read for sure!

The second interview is with the LEGENDARY Joe Keatinge! Joe is freaking hilarious, and works perfect for our show because he is one that will just speak his mind, and tell you what he thinks! We spent a good chunk of this interview speaking about his awesome book, Ringside! Joe, apparently, is a pretty big wrestling fan! He said "I've been preparing to write this book, not knowing I would write it, for my whole life" talking about Ringside, and him watching wresting. Of course, you can't have a conversation with Joe, without talking about the stellar, Shutter! He talks about working with a friend of the show, Leila Del Duca, and also has great things to say about Emma Rios! The second not to miss interview of this episode, and a HUGE catch for our show!!
