War Rocket Ajax #183: In Loving Memory of Ed Anger with Paul Allor

Ajax183

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we talk to Paul Allor, the upcoming writer of G.I. Joe, about a bunch of things that are not G.I. Joe until I can’t take it anymore and just start asking questions about Destro. Allong the way, we chat about Strange Nation, his Monkeybrain book, and the Weekly World News stories that inspired it! Plus, Matt refers to the operation that gave me my head stitches as “some Hannibal shit.”

War Rocket Ajax #182: Hawk Talk With Matthew K. Manning

Ajax182

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we ambush Matthew K. Manning with a bunch of questions about his work on Tony Hawk’s 900 Revolution, a series of novels for kids about a team of x-treme sports youths searching the globe for pieces of Tony Hawk’s shattered skateboard. He also wrote some books about Superman and Batman, but let’s be real here: there’s only one thing we really want to talk about. Plus, Matt finally weighs in on GTA V and I got stitches all up in my head. It’s definitely a show!

Movie Fighters vs. Big Money Hustlas

BMHRemember a couple years ago when we thought it would be a good idea to listen to Holiday Heat, the Psychopathic Records Christmas album, and it ended up being such a harrowing experience that Matt Fraction has never fully recovered and was led to launching a new comic with noted Internet sex pervert Chip Zdarsky? Well, we know you all enjoyed that, so we thought it might be a good idea to make november Juggalo Month on Movie Fighters!

This week, we launched right into it with Big Money Hustlas (Hu$tla$?), Violent J’s screenwriting debut. It’s a movie that, in theory, sounds like something I’d be interested in: An homage to blaxploitation cinema featuring appearances by Dolemite and Cactus Jack. In practice, it’s Naked Gun written by a couple of idiots.

Movie Fighters vs. Big Money Hustlas is available right now at Bandcamp for one thin dollar, or if you enjoy the show and would like to throw a little more money at us, you have the option to increase that amount as much as you’d like. Plus, be sure to catch up on the other episodes where we’ve tackled movies like Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Miami Connection and the truly awful Ready to Rumble, and be here in two weeks for the prequel, Big Money Rustlas!

OH HEY: We also did our annual Halloween show last week, but I was sick and forgot to blog about it. Even though it’s not Halloween anymore, it’s still a good show, with annual Halloween guest Benito Cereno dropping by to talk to us about Carman, Jack Chick, and other spooky delights:

War Rocket Ajax #177: Chatting Like Fellows with Christopher Daniels

Ajax177

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’re joined by Impact Wrestling’s four-time X Division champion and eight-time World Tag Team Champion Of The World, Christopher Daniels! He’s a well-known comics fan and one of the most entertaining grapplers to step into the squared circle, so we have a talk about how he got into comics, what he’s reading, and eventually just sit around debating Brian Bendis and Jonathan Hickman like pals. It’s pretty rad. Plus, you get to hear an opinion from Daniels that I guarantee you have never heard on War Rocket Ajax before!

Movie Fighters: Ready To Rumble

ReadyToRumble

There’s no War Rocket Ajax this week, so instead, we’re bringing you MOVIE FIGHTERS a few days early!

This week, Matt and I sit through Ready to Rumble, the David Arquette/Scott Caan/Joe Pantoliano/Diamond Dallas Page/Oliver Platt film that may in fact be directly responsible for the death of WCW. Listen in as I try to defend Arquette but get stymied at every turn by a wrestling movie that seems to hate wrestlers, wrestling fans, and people who want to go see wrestling movies.

Also, we legit almost barf.

PLUS! Grab all five installments of our WrestleMovieMania series (No Holds Barred, 12 Rounds, No Contest, DOOM and Ready to Rumble) all at once, for a mere five bucks! There’s also a bonus episode where we watched a mystifyingly terrible episode of Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling that you can listen to for absolutely free, if you want to sample the show before you buy it!

One more thing! Speaking of War Rocket Ajax, there actually was a new episode last week that I completely forgot to post about. We spoke to Greg Rucka about The Prisoner, the greatest television show in history and the Rosetta Stone for understanding modern comics. Give it a listen, because it is basically the opposite of matt and I talking about Ready to Rumble.
