Media Montage Podcast 134: The Creative Process



Where do you get your ideas? Once you have your idea, then what? Larry and Bruce explain their approach to the Creative Process. 

Paper, pen and ink or digital tablets and stylus? How do analog and digital approaches factor into the process. Bruce and Larry go digital at different points in their processes and for different reasons.

They tackle how they come up with ideas, and how they develop them and put them in front of an audience.  Is there one right way to create? Is there one right REASON to create?

Find out the answers to those questions and more in Episode 134 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 133 - Captain America: Civil War (2016) & Marvel Comics: Civil War (2006)




Captain America vs Iron Man! The 13th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here! Captain America: Civil War takes its story from the 2006 Marvel Comics crossover event and 7 issue miniseries.
Bruce and Larry contrast and compare that miniseries with the events of the film. Why are our heroes at odds? What brings these allies to the brink of war? They look at the causes of the conflict in both the comics and the film. 
Which medium tells a better story? Can you get a good movie with a cast featuring a dozen established heroes while introducing two new ones? How does Bruce REALLY feel about comics crossovers and events? What is a Stabbity Jones?

Media Montage Podcast 132: Robot Jox (1989)



It's a little bit Go Bots, it's a little bit Rocky 4! The Cold War heats up in this post-apocalyptic Cult Film where war is over and giant robots battle to settle international diputes. It's Robot Jox, from 1989 starring, Gary Graham, Anne-Marie Johnson, and Paul Koslo.  

At listener request (Thanks Nate O!) Bruce and Larry take a look at this film, and try to figure out if it's a kid's movie adults can enjoy or an adult movie kids can enjoy?

They look at the special effects, the script, what they liked and what they loathed. Is the stop motion animation up to snuff? Is it dated or does it hold up?  Was Robot Jox to late to exploit the Cold War? Why is a singular hot dog one of the high points of the movie? Find out the answers to those questions and more in Episode 132 of the Media Montage Podcast!
