Pint O' Comics

Dem Boyz are joined by Pint Six Pack member and creator of entertainment blog Arguing With Myself, Chris Frodel. The results of Russell Crowe's divorce auction are discussed, as well as the bizarre circumstances happening in Stan Lee's life right now. Wind River and A Quiet Place are reviewed and The Jo(h)ns ponder what a possible romantic relationship between them would be like. Yuck. Listen In!

The Pint invaded gaming convention TotalCon 32 in Massachusetts in late February and had a grand time. We met some really cool folks, played some great games and got some interviews to boot. Weeks later Sir Jon descended upon Wisconsin for his annual trip to Gary Con, another fantastic gaming show. This episode of The Pint is all about games, gamers and gaming! Listen In and play something already!    

From the WESU archives. Joe and Rich of local Connecticut band The Blacksheep Collective sit in with Ganache and The Manster for an hour of live performances, a couple of tracks straight off of their new album and stories of band life. If you dig us, tell your friends about The Pint! If you dig the band, find out more here...https://www.facebook.com/followtheflock66/

The death of an 80's icon of industry. The death of a marriage. Talk of a monopoly. The return of Sir Jon. Discussion of a comic book character so lame it ends the show abruptly. It's all here in The Pint's 40th episode. And who or what is Chad Word? Listen In!

Sir Jon, still gaming in Cheeseville leaves Ganache with The Green Manster to talk music. Specifically what 10 albums would you want with you on a desert island? Lloyd provides one of the few heartfelt moments ever recorded for The Pint while discussing the day an idol of his died, John loves an album where the least sad song is about the Vietnam war and a couple friends of the show give their lists as well. Listen In!

While Sir Jon is at Gary Con, The Manster sits in with Ganache. DC's upcoming Black Label and Sandman Universe books are discussed as well as Marvel Refresh. Which books interest us and which do not? Lloyd longs for a Marvel title from a few years ago and John finds himself suddenly puzzled by the ending to a 25 year old movie. Oh, and listen in carefully and you can still get your fix of Sir Jon's dulcimer tones. It's The Pint on the road to 40!

Empire Magazine recently released their Top 20 Cinematic Villains list as voted on by their readers. We go through the list and rip it apart. Jon is flabbergasted by most picks and John tries to keep him from rage quitting in the middle of the show. So pretty typical for The Pint. Find out who is at 20, who is at 1, and who totally should not be at 7. Listen In!

The Jo(h)ns get together and talk a whole slew of rando. Who did what on Super Bowl Sunday, what funny books are tickling our fancies, and who is the latest actor being courted to play Batman's least favorite clown are a few of the questions we ask and answer right here. Also a well known piece of cookware vs. a legion of idiot fanatics and hear us make plans to go see a film we reviewed on our previous episode. Is it time travel, witchcraft or worse? Nah, it's Pint O' Comics!

We usually follow an outline or topic here on The Pint, as hard as that may be to believe. Not this episode! For our 35th, we just talked and talked, hopping subjects as we went along. DC finds a new writer to lead the Superman titles, Jon explains the details of his comic organization, sexual harassment raises it's ugly head and much more. Oh and stay tuned as Lou Skywalker joins us for a tacked on review of Marvel's latest film, Alpha Flight! OK, it's really our Black Panther review. Listen In!

Fellow WESU DJ and CT native Billy Johnstone sits down with the boys. Billy fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming an actor on Broadway and has since choreographed, directed and taught in the theater world. An unusually inspiring episode of The Pint, as Billy takes us through his journey to the stage. Another of our WESU shows rebroadcast in podcast form, Listen In!

G.I. Gary returns to sit in on another show. China as a country hates a recent megamovie which gives Sir Jon reason to relocate, old shows on FOX are discussed as well as the brilliance of early Eddie Murphy. Of course we also discuss O rings because there is no subject we cannot tangent to! Stay tuned to hear Ganache and Manster discuss their night out seeing local filmmaker Kurtis Spieler's latest project and then an interview with Kurt himself. Listen In!

Did you ever wonder what got The Jo(h)ns into pop culture? Well, we are going to tell you anyways. From funny books to cartoons and beyond, we dive into our histories and what made us who we are, explorers of greater geekdom! Listen In!

Jon and John bounce around in a good ol' fashioned Pint. Sandman and the death of a series inspiration, Star Trek goodness on TV again and a local CT microbrewery that did not exactly live up to Sir Jon's expectations. Also if you dig the outro riff we have used since episode 1, we give you the whole song as a bonus! Local CT hard rockers Soldiers of Solace are releasing their debut album on January 26th and we would love it if you checked them out! Listen In!

Lou Skywalker sits in with Sir Jon and Ganache as we talk to The Dizzle himself, Chad Davis of the great podcast Pass The Effin Popcorn in the WESU studios. Topics range from Chad's love for Saved By The Bell, the top ten films he saw in theaters in 2017 and what is coming up this year for him and his show. A New Year's Eve to be remembered for sure, please enjoy or re-enjoy this classic from The Mighty Pint Radio Hour.

Stargate. The Crying Game. Fantasy Football. Black Christmas. The Archive. The Foreigner. Mentions of Dicknado and the failed Wonder Woman pilot. Per usual, an extremely focused episode of The Pint. Oh, and The Manster sits in. Oh, and a little Stephen King talk and lusting over Carla Gugino. Oh and...just Listen In.

Dem Boyz decided to do a big show for their 30th. How about bringing The Manster and Lou back to discuss the latest Disney movie? No, we ain't talking cartoon mice or ducks, we mean Star Wars! Listen in as we yell and scream at each other over tactically improbable bombing runs, Yoda puppets, roasted Porg and much more. How hard was this film for one of our childhoods? Will one of us sing a Depeche Mode song? Will you agree or disagree with our points? Only one way to know...

A day late last week equals a day early this week! A fun episode from our WESU show, The Jo(h)ns and G.I. Gary host Flint Dille, writer, producer and creator extraordinaire! If you have seen the Sunbow Transformers or G.I. Joe cartoons of the 1980's then you know Flint's work. We discuss everything from that to his work in the gaming industry to Gary's acquisition of multiple copies of a particular toy that most kids could not get one of! It's a special episode for you on this Christmas and new episodes back to Tuesday next week!

The New Dynamic Duo return just in time to talk local beer, board games, Netflix shows and, ummm...Oh yeah, the Justice League movie! What character was Jon's least favorite? Is Ben Batman for long? What happened with the lamp in John's dining room? Listen In for answers to all this and maybe more!

Chris from Arguing With Myself is back this week to discuss the entire slate of films made from DC Comics. From Dad Bod Superman to Heather Locklear getting it on with vegetation, we leave no adaptation unturned. Sir Jon reiterates his crush on Gal Gadot is still alive, John does the worst Shaq impression on Earth and Chris channels Marlon Brando in eerie fashion. An extra full Pint for you this week, Listen In!

Chris Frodel from the blog Arguing With Myself joins dem boyz to discuss a multitude of topics. John's mild celebrity encounters at Rhode Island Comic Con, Sir Jon's love of indie comic Arsenic Lullaby and Chris' unexpected knowledge of Canadian super team Alpha Flight fill this hour. Also Stranger Things season 2 and local artist Larry Elig are discussed! Listen in!
