READ, WATCH, PLAY! EPISODE EIGHT: OZ COMIC-CON SYDNEY

-
You miss us?

Yep. I'll be the first to admit it's been far too long since we put out an instalment of the stitched-together pop culture ramblings we generously call a podcast. Unfortunately 'real life' (otherwise known as the collection of tasks we perform in order to fool others into believing that we are actually adults)  gets busy and as much as we try and make getting the podcast out in a timely fashion a priority, occasionally our other responsibilities get the better of us. The last month and a half has been one such time.

... But fear not. We are back with what I can proudly boast is a 100% organic, grass fed, preservative free episode of Read, Watch, Play! coming to you live (at the time) from Oz Comic-Con Sydney.

As well as chatting about or thoughts on the con we managed to score some interviews with some of the con's guests:


 Sam Lloyd (Ted from Scrubs) and Robert Maschio (The Todd from Scrubs)- Interview at the 3 minute mark 

Writer Greg Rucka (Black Magick, Gotham Central, Lazarus) - Interview at the 23 minute mark


 Writers Christian  Read (Unmasked, Karnak, The Lark Case Files) and Andrew Constant (Broken Line, Fly, Torn) from Gestalt Comics - Interview at the 33 minute mark

A big thanks to all our guests for being so generous with their time and the wonderful folks at Oz Comic-con for setting up the interviews and making us feel very welcome at their wonderful event. 

As always it would mean the world to us if you could rate us on Itunes and subscribe if you dig what we are doing. 

So without further adieu please enjoy episode eight (we accidentally call it episode nine in the opener but it is in fact episode eight) of Read, Watch, Play!

    Good interview with Gestalt comics. Let's face it, their documentary is and will always be the best comics documentary made about an Australian publisher/creator of comics. They have an honesty that just keeps me coming back as a fan. I had a good time at Oz comic con, good energy, lay out and costumes. If they get a better spread of guests it will be the best convention in the country. Place was PACKED! and if you are looking to have people on. I would be happy to come on!

    There are so many interesting activities and events to do and visit in Sydney and comic cons are one of them. They are often just fun and entertaining for all members of the family. I think they need more exposure in terms of advertising so that more people can be aware when a new one is being held.

    It is always a rewarding feeling to be able to unwind after a hard day’s work at the self storage and my way of relaxing is to watch your episodes. I look forward to new ones which sadly are not uploaded that frequently. Well, hope to catch you guys more often!

Home Again review

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
