The WAYNE GALE VARIETY HOUR ep 7: A frank talk about FRANK MILLER

wg40

http://www.cartoonistconspiracy.com/sushipodcast/2013/01/the-wayne-gale-variety-hour-ep-7-we-need-to-have-a-talk-about-frank/

DANNO KLONOWSKI is a cartoonist and podcaster. MATT “SHLOGGS” RISNES is a noted film blogger and podcast guest. They have been friends for nearly 20 years and like talking about stuff at length and in-depth. The seventh episode opens with listener mail, a discussion of Shloggs recent obsession, the film BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW (which you can see streaming on Netflix). Then it’s on to the topic at hand: FRANK MILLER!!!

FRANK MILLER for the uninitiated is a cartoonist responsible forever changing the direction of DAREDEVIL and the BATMAN. He also created a couple series you may have heard of including SIN CITY and 300, which he went onto ‘co-direct’ and produce, respectively. Frank’s also the author ROBOCOP 2 and 3, the writer/director of the reviled THE SPIRIT, and the creator of the equally reviled graphic novel HOLY TERROR.

Danno and Shloggs have a lively and philosophical talk about frank and are even joined last minute via email by Friend of the Show @RafeGuttman, who has even posted this video review of BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, drawing the show full-circle.

Lutefisk Sushi Podcast episode 24: Shloggs

http://www.cartoonistconspiracy.com/sushipodcast/2012/08/lutefisk-sushi-podcast-episode-24-shloggs/

In the twenty-fourth episode host DANNO KLONOWSKI speaks with Matt “SHLOGGS” Risnes . Despite the fact this podcast is the audio sampling of MN Cartoonists, SHLOGGS is in fact NOT a cartoonist, rather Shloggs is one of Danno’s oldest friends on earth.  In addition to that honor, Shloggs is an avid film aficionado, as well as a blogger and frequent and sought after film podcast guest who, rather than filling the internet with nerd rage, fills his blog posts and podcast appearances with eloquent logic and critical thinking about the medium of filmmaking.  That in mind, Danno and Shloggs spend this episode breaking down and discussing their favorite (and least favorite) film adaptations of comic books.  Shloggs provides the insight into the filmmaking and Danno discusses the ways in which being either faithful or disrespectful of the source material can make or break a film (depending on the film, obviously).

SPOILER ALERTS!!! If you have not seen the recent DARK KNIGHT RISES or AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (and good for you on that one), we discuss key plot points. Other films discussed include: SCOTT PILGRIM vs THE WORLD, BATMAN ’89, The HELLBOY series, the recent Marvel films including AVENGERS, THE CROW, and several more.

Make a mini-comic no bigger than 5.5″x8.5″, submit 160 copies of that comic (and original artwork) to ALTERED ESTHETICS GALLERY, and then come have a blast at the opening on FRIDAY, NOV 2nd, 2012!  So either read what you just did and follow the link the LUTEFISK SUSHI E website for more information, or listen to Danno ramble on it about for 13 minutes. The choice is yours, but might I suggest you start drawing, Minnesota!!!

In the twenty-third episode host DANNO KLONOWSKI speaks with Milwaukee cartoonist MATT CHIC. In an ever-increasing state of drunkityness our heroes discuss Matt’s NIGHT LIGHT COMICS, the perils of mini-comics, the 200+ page graphic novel EGYPTIAN SHUMBA he’s finishing this year, his cool dad, why Milwaukee ain’t so bad (but their cartooning scene is no Minneapolis), and whether or not Stan Lee is just a misunderstood capitalist. Or something. You are about to hear two men speak from their souls about making comics and stuff.
