ANATOMY OF A COLLECTOR!!! With TOM FRANCK! MONSTER PARTY
-
- Komedie
MONSTER PARTY WANTS TO BE THE HOLY GRAIL OF YOUR PODCAST COLLECTION!
JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, take a deep dive into an unrelenting but often rewarding obsession. With the precision of a surgeon, MONSTER PARTY wields its nerd scalpel to examine the... ANATOMY OF A COLLECTOR!!!
One thing all the members of MONSTER PARTY have in common is their love of collecting genre-related items. Whether it be toys, books, records, artwork, or other assorted treasures, acquiring these often elusive items has been an almost endless source of pleasure throughout our lives.
But what makes a collector tick? Why do we collect? Is it a fun financial investment? Is it to provide us with a sense of self-worth? Is it okay to just collect what we like, or is it crucial that our collection is "better" than someone else's? And what is better? Does what we collect say something about us as people? Should our collections be on display? Or is keeping them in a safe deposit box WAY more fun?
In this episode, MONSTER PARTY will attempt to answer ALL these questions, and many more!
Joining us for this artifact acquiring analysis is a brilliant artist, writer, and comedian, who brings his extensive knowledge of art history and literature (yes, you will hear Balzac mentioned) to this topic. He possesses what has been said to be the largest collection of JUMBO MACHINDER toys (offered in this country as the SHOGUN WARRIORS) outside of Japan, and even owns the ultra-rare GARADA K7, a figure whose existence was at one time considered a myth. Please welcome to his first official MP episode... TOM FRANCK! (JUMBO TITAN X AND THE GREAT ROBOT ARMS RACE, COMICS AND COMICS, A DINOSAUR CHRISTMAS, BOY-BOT AND BOY, GREEN LANTERN)
NOW GET TO LISTENING, BEFORE YOU SUFFER THE PLASTIC FINGER MISSILE WRATH OF "THE GREAT MAZINGA!"
