Secrets of The Sire

We interviewed HERCULES himself Kevin Sorbo at Wizard World Chicago to talk about his iconic role and his controversial new movie “Let There Be Light”. PLUS: We reveal the #1 movie of the Summer (and it’s not what you think) and Is Marvel’s Inhumans already cancelled? Spider-Man: Homecoming is the Highest Grossing Superhero Film of 2017 Thanks to its recent release in China, Spider-Man: Homecoming has now become the highest-grossing superhero film of 2017 so far, with an estimated $874.4 million under its belt, according to Box Office Mojo. Note that there are still two major superhero movies left in the year: Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok and Zack Snyder’s Justice League, both of which are poised to be big box office earners, so it’s entirely possible that Homecoming will be dethroned come year’s end.   Of course, one of the most talked about comic book films of the year has been Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot as the eponymous character. The DCEU installment surpassed all expectations to become the highest-grossing superhero origin film as well as the highest-grossing DCEU chapter domestically, while also blasting past several other milestones. Still, Spider-Man has consistently been one of the world’s most recognizable heroes and Homecoming‘s global box office performance proves just that.   Download our Podcast: * iTunes * iHeart Radio * Soundcloud * Spreaker * Stitcher * Google Play Or check out the show any podcasting app for your iOS or Android phone.

Secrets of the Sire goes ANIME! Dragonball Z voice actor Mike McFarland is joined by creator/producer of My Life As A Monkey’s Alexa Fox and actress Brina Palencia to talk about their new show! PLUS: If you could recommend ONE anime to anyone it would be… ABOUT OUR GUEST(S): Mike McFarland WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) Actor, Voice Actor, Voice Director, Producer, Writer. Voice Direction includes: Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, Summer Wars, Evangelion 1.11/2.22/3.33, and more. Voice acting credits include: Master Roshi – Dragonball Z, Jean Kirstein – Attack on Titan, Buggy the Clown – One Piece, Charlie Nash – Street Fighter V (video game), and more. Adaptive writing credits include: One Punch Man, Marvel’s Disk Wars: The Avengers, One Piece, Hellsing Ultimate. WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON THESE DAYS? (Shameless Plug Time) Just finished up Voice Direction and voice acting work on Attack on Titan (Season 2). Currently can be heard on Dragon Ball Super as Master Roshi airing on Toonami, and on My Hero Academia as Ojiro, streaming at Funimation.com. Alexa Fox WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) Alexa Fox likes to think of herself as a writer/creator, but really she’s a cat-herding wrangler who improves any project she touches. Whether it’s finding artists for other publishers, writing additional jokes, or doing a voice-over now and again, Fox gets it done and gets it done with panache. Despite her busy schedule, she always makes time to show new talent the ropes and buck up the industry’s old hands. The Fantastic Ms. Fox is the creator of Danger Gliders and she’s debuting her first animated short in the “My Life as a Monkey” series, season 1, secret episode 0, “Panic of the Apes”. WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON THESE DAYS? (Shameless Plug Time) My Life as a Monkey, more Danger Gliders coming very soon, and an adult cartoon series short in the works called Crime to Five (that she’s forcing Hassan to help with in the near future). My Life as a Monkey is a kids’ show about a boy named Reese and his two best friends, Sam and Amy. Reese is like any other kid. Except that he’s a monkey… But he wasn’t always! One day while he was helping his super scientist mom in the lab, there was an accident. Mom tried to fix it but every attempt made things so much worse that when they finally got back to monkey, Reese decided he’d had enough, “Monkey’s fine. Monkey’s good! I’ll just live the rest of my life as a monkey.” And so it began… While the show focuses mostly on Reese and his classmates, weird things have been known to happen in their town. Is the source Mom? Yes. Yes it is. Why would you even ask? She turned her son into a monkey! Brina Palencia WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) Actor, singer, writer or scripts and songs WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON THESE DAYS? (Shameless Plug Time) Working on an album that will feature full versions on my Instagram songs. I’ll also be at Anime Weekend Atlanta at the end of this month, then Realms Con in Corpus Christi, TX Oct 6-8, and singing at a gala to benefit the Pittsburgh Japanese Cultural Society on October 13th.

PLUS: Is it panic time for the Star Wars franchise with the dismissal of Colin Treverrow? ABOUT OUR GUEST: Tom Wilson (Back To The Future) WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) His breakthrough role was the bully Biff Tannen in the 1985 film Back to the Future. He returned in the sequels Back to the Future Part II and Part III to reprise not only his role as Biff, but also to play Biff’s grandson Griff Tannen and great-grandfather Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen.

We welcome Back to the Future’s Tom Wilson to the show and debate who was the bigger bully: Biff Tannen or Johnny from Karate Kid! PLUS: Is it panic time for the Star Wars franchise with the dismissal of Colin Treverrow? ABOUT OUR GUEST: Tom Wilson (Back To The Future) WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) His breakthrough role was the bully Biff Tannen in the 1985 film Back to the Future. He returned in the sequels Back to the Future Part II and Part III to reprise not only his role as Biff, but also to play Biff’s grandson Griff Tannen and great-grandfather Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen. His famous catchphrases include: “Hello! Hello! Anybody home? Think, McFly, think!”,[2] “What are you looking at, Butthead?”, “Say hi to your mom for me”, and “Why don’t you make like a tree; and get outta here”. In every Back to the Future film, he always ended up in a pile of manure (in reality, a pile of decayed sphagnum and other plant matters) when trying to kill or hurt Michael J. Fox‘s character Marty McFly. He reprised his role as Biff and voiced various Tannen relatives in the animated series. Wilson did not reprise his role as Biff in the initial versions of Telltale‘s Back to the Future: The Game released in 2011, being replaced by Kid Beyond. When the game was ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in 2015 in commemoration of the original film’s 30th anniversary, Wilson returned to provide Biff’s voice in these newer versions.

Secrets of the Sire welcomes very special Game of Thrones expert Christina Dolce – my wife! – to help dissect the incendiary Season 7 finale and look ahead to some Game of Thrones Season 8 Theories. Is Tyrion a Targaryan? Is Bran The Night King? Will Jon Bang His Aunt Again? PLUS: Hawkman and Avengelyne writer Mark Poulton joins us to talk about his new All-Ages comic The Pizza Tree ABOUT OUR GUEST: Writer Mark Poulton (Hawkman/Avengelyne) WHAT DO YOU DO? (Think Twitter Bio) I am a professional comic book writer and children’s book author. I’ve written for DC Comics, Image Comics, and Arcana Studio. I produced the A Cat Named Haiku animated short for Top Buzz, and served as associate producer on Mythical Creatures, an animated pilot financed by the Canadian and New Zealand governments. WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON THESE DAYS? (Shameless Plug Time) My latest book is Pizza Tree, an all ages graphic novel that I co-wrote with my 7 year old son, Chase, based off an idea he had. It is published by Arcana Studio through my new creator-owned imprint, Artistacomics. The A Cat Named Haiku animated short was released earlier in the year and is doing well. It is currently being developed as a feature by Arcana Studio with Sean O’Reilly attached as screenwriter and director. GOT A HOT TAKE? (Tell us the burning issues you’re dying to talk about) Not sure if you discussed DC’s comment that the comic book industry is on the verge of collapse, but I think it’s just the opposite. I don’t think it’s ever been stronger. The level of quality from creators is at its highest. I was at the Arcana booth this year for SDCC and the two biggest draws were 10 year old Kiefer O’Reilly and my 7 year old son, Chase. The future of comics is in good hands. The talent pool has never been stronger. Readers now just have so many great choices to pick from. It’s almost like television complaining that ratings are down. That’s because there are so many ways to consume the product (cable, Netflix and other streaming services). Most readers don’t have an unlimited budget when it comes to comics. If an indie company is putting something great out that they want to start reading, chances are another book will get cut from the their pull list and I think you are beginning to see readers don’t need that Marvel or DC book they have been collecting for years anymore.

SPOON! We welcome special guest Barry Josephson, executive producer of THE TICK – now streaming on Amazon Video Prime – to talk about the new reboot! PLUS: American Pie’s Thomas Ian Nicholas joined us to talk about his upcoming appearance at Wizard World Chicago, settle the great Prequel debate once and for all, and talk about his new YA novel Handbook For Mortals We also talked about the Joss Whedon scandal that hit last week. Here’s an excerpt from the Podcast via: http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/early-cut-justice-league-deemed-unwatchable-substantial-changes-made/#gallery-8 In a scathing essay published on Sunday for The Wrap, Cole, who recently divorced Whedon after 16 years of marriage, wrote that Whedon is a “hypocrite preaching feminist ideals.” Cole ― a producer and actress herself ― revealed that Whedon had both physical and emotional affairs with other women throughout their marriage, and blamed his actions on the pressures of the patriarchy. Whedon has been lauded by the public as a feminist ally since he created the TV series “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” in 1997. Since then, Whedon has used his platform to talk about feminism and the importance of men getting involved in the movement. According to Cole, Whedon had his first affair during their first year of marriage while he was on the set of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer.” Download our Podcast: * iTunes * iHeart Radio * Soundcloud * Spreaker * Stitcher * Google Play Or check out the show any podcasting app for your iOS or Android phone.

Our Justice League re-shoots discussion turned into a full-on debate: are you Pro or Anti Joss Whedon? Can he save the movie that’s reportedly “Unwatchable” in its current state? Or is he overrated as a writer and director? PLUS: Is Defenders Marvel’s swan song from Netflix with the new Disney streaming service announced? Here’s an excerpt from the Podcast via: http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/early-cut-justice-league-deemed-unwatchable-substantial-changes-made/#gallery-8   Poor Justice League. No matter how much good Warner Bros. does, the upcoming pic just can’t catch a break. Even after the smashing success of Wonder Woman, and a thrilling Comic-Con trailer for Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon’s team-up film that was very promising, negative buzz continues to surround it. That doesn’t change today, either, with a follow-up report coming in that expands a bit on what we heard last night. To recap, yesterday we learned that Warner Bros. was apparently unhappy with a few things in Justice League. Namely, the tone – which they felt was too dark – and the portrayal of Cyborg. Now, Batman-On-Film has added onto that, telling us that the situation is much worse than it appears. Here’s what they had to say: These reshoots – which are still taking place – are not standard pick-ups/additional photography. Why? Apparently, an early cut of the film was deemed “unwatchable.” Thus, substantial changes to the film were ordered.
