Good friend of the show, Josh Nealis (from Cutthroat Comics) makes Ridoctopus history by becoming the only person to get locked in THE BRIG for a THIRD TIME!

He talks candidly with Parasite Steve about his latest books "Gloves Off: Going Toe-to-Toe with Cancer", "Judy and Her Irrational Fears" the final issue of his "Turkey Sharks" comic series and what it was like creating all that stuff while battling cancer.

Whatever you do, do NOT forget to click this link and visit Cutthroat Comics on the web! It's SUPER effective!

Roger Corman did it all and he did it in spades.

Whether you call him the King of Cult or the Pope of Pop Cinema, it's no exaggeration to say that Corman had an output unmatched by anyone in the industry. And while he is perhaps known as much for his schlock as his amazing Poe Cycle with Vincent Price, one thing is for sure. The man constantly did what he loved, and that was making movies!

For this tribute episode, we set sail with movie aficionado, Raina Madison, and dive right into the man's expansive catalog of films, presenting 12 in all. Seems like a lot, but considering Corman directed 56 films and produced almost 500, that's barely the tip of the iceberg!!

Later on we'll blast on through this week's OCTOPONDER THIS and hear all about Justin Cooper's latest ISSUES!

This week, in THE BRIG… Deader is Better!

We welcome the co-creator of the world's longest continually running series of collectible horror themed dolls. The Living Dead Dolls. Make no mistake, folks… this is a guy who makes nightmares come to life, New Jersey’s own… Damien Glonek!

Ever wondered how you can turn a quirky little idea into a vast 26 year empire, beloved and fiercely collected by fans the world over? Well, Damien tells us how it all went down. And for the ride is our occasional host (and Living Dead Doll superfan) Greenie!

And keep up with all the newest LDD pre-orders on the official website!

The 1980s and 90s saw the release of an unprecedented number of cartoons, movies, toys and games starring DINOSAURS! And unlike the adventure films of the 60s & 70s these projects took everyone's favorite extinct behemoths out of their hidden savage land environments and made them cool again. Mashing them together with genres like science fiction, post-apocalypse and even sitcoms!

You want dinos that fly spaceships? We got 'em. For this episode, we cover movies and cartoons like The Land Before Time, Denver the Last Dinosaur and Dinosaucers, but also toylines, video games and more!
