Welcome to Episode 50 of StarkCast! We set out with a plan to talk Regression, an Image comic by Cullen Bunn and Danny Luckert, as well as Dark Nights Metal, the recent DC Comics event headlined by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, but ended up just having lots of random conversation! I talked a bit about my experience at C2E2 last weekend, we give praise to Dustin Nyugen and his awesome artwork in Descender, an Image comic he created with Jeff Lemire, and we discover how hostile Jordan gets when you bring up foreign films. We had a lot of laughs and I hope you have a good time listening!

Welcome to Episode 49 of StarkCast! I learned a lot this episode. Dave Fajman from Smugglers Coffee tells me all about the ins and outs of creating barrel aged coffees.

Welcome to Episode 48 of StarkCast! Rebekah, Rod, and I had the intention of talking the first volume of Lazarus, an Image comic by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark. We eventually get there with some very StarkCast detours along the way. We also talk Batman/TMNT II, Star Trek: Boldy Go, a little bit on Deathbed #2, and Marvel's new Legion miniseries. Somehow we even discuss DC charaters on a golf course. Yeah, that happened...

Welcome to Episode 47 of StarkCast! I talk with comic book creator Doug Wagner! Plastic and The Hard Place are two of my favorite mini-series and it was an absolute joy getting to discuss them with the writer, himself. We get into all sorts of comic book talk; from conventions to our favorite ongoing books. I also ask Doug about his creative process and the beginnings of 12 Gauge Comics. Doug is a really cool guy! I had a blast recording with him and I hope you enjoy listening!

Welcome to Episode 46 of StarkCast! I had an awesome time getting to know Hawxby! John and I talk MMA, cats, pinball, and beards before tackling the idiotic worlds of Alex Jones and flat earthers. John tells me all about his research and trolling of their internet groups. It is seriously pretty, damn funny and at the same time tragic that people believe this stuff!

Welcome to Episode 45 of StarkCast! Rod and I are joined by Paul Hart to talk Frostbite. A six-issue Vertigo comic by Joshua Williamson and Jason Shawn Alexander. It's a Comic Talk episode so it goes without saying that this episode is full of spoilers! Frostbite is a great book and I had a lot of fun discussing it with Rod and Paul. We go into the weeds a lot on this one so bear with us! We also talk Vengeance, Nevada #1, an independent comic by B.J. Mendelson, as well as a handful of other books. https://www.vertigocomics.com/comics/frostbite-2016 https://www.comixology.com/Vengeance-Nevada-1/digital-comic/593731 Website: https://media.zencast.fm/starkcast Facebook: facebook.com/starkcastpod Twitter: @TheTubbyNinja Email: starkcastpod@gmail.com StarkCast Intro & Outro Music by James Wetzel This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

Welcome to Episode 44 of StarkCast! I talk science with Kevin Shanks, a forensic toxicologist. We get into all sorts of weird, interesting stuff! He shares some wild stories of cases he was involved in before we get into an epic conversation about psychedelics, "toxins", and the opioid epidemic. I'm not gonna lie- this was one of my all time favorite episodes!

Welcome to Episode 41 of StarkCast! I talk Nemesis, an Icon comic created by Mark Millar & Steve McNiven, with Rod Claerbout and Rebekah Dahling. Rebekah talks a little about Kill Or Be Killed and Rod tells us about Men Of Wrath. These are some crazy comics and we get into some equally weird territory on this episode!

Welcome to Episode 40 of StarkCast! I talk Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice & Fire with Hanan, Arayo, and Benji. So... Spoiler Alert! We get into all sorts of fun stuff: Our favorite characters, moments, shocks, etc. We also get into Westerorsi history and Hanan and I, being non-book readers for the most part, ask Arayo and Benji a host of questions about how things went down in the books versus the show. This was a very educational show full of laughs and I had a really great time getting to know Hanan, Arayo, and Benji!

Welcome to Episode 39 of StarkCast! I talk with fellow podcaster, Bernie Ortiz, about some of the Hollywood sexual misconduct allegations that have been in the headlines recently. We also go into the allegations against Aziz Ansari and some of the differences in that case of public opinion. We really skate on thin ice through here and even end up discussing the difficulty in openly talking about these topics. OK, still with me? If nothing else hang on until Bernie's story about going through the New York judicial system. It's very sobering and you will learn why you never say, or sign, shit until you've consulted a lawyer. And finally we finish off with some lighthearted pop culture talk!

Welcome to Episode 37 of StarkCast! I talk with YouTuber Adam Cornette about a plethora of topics. His love of songs from Hamilton, Porgs, comic cons, and what it's like living with LCHAD deficiency. We go on some weird tangents on this one, too. I even find myself talking about homemade marinara sauce at one point. But we finish strong and I learn that Audible, though unaffiliated with StarkCast, is actually pretty affordable!

Welcome to Episode 36 of StarkCast! I go on a fun ride with Basel and Rebekah talking about a variety of topics. The Alamo, Informer, some random 90's stuff. But then things get serious and we talk about xenophobia in America and Basel shares his perspective of being an American Muslim in 2018. Then we switch gears and talk about Basel's love of mafia movies before finishing off the episode talking comics.

Welcome to Episode 32 of StarkCast! I talk with Dante Serrecchia, Tim Arnold, and Mike Darlan about all things supeheroes. We share our introductions to superhero media and discuss our favorite characters and story arcs. The show really devolves and goes off the rails in the last 30 to 40 minutes. So if you make it that far, kudos to you. Maybe don't even listen to whole episode. You've been warned...

Welcome to Episode 30 of StarkCast! Spoiler pussies beware! Rod and I talk Plastic, an Image comic by Doug Wagner. This was originally gonna be a group discussion episode, but we had some cancellations. So Rod and I pressed on regardless and spent an hour discussing this fantastic five-issue miniseries.

Star Trek tech? We discuss the possibility of these things and more. I always learn so much when I talk with James! NOTE: There is a slight echo that occasionally sneaks in and out of the episode. Because, FML, of course there is. Facebook: facebook.com/starkcastpod Twitter: @TheTubbyNinja Email: starkcastpod@gmail.com This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm
