  3. Wrestling Art Ep. 102 - 200% MEXA w/ Portaveritas

    JAN 29

    Wrestling Art Ep. 102 - 200% MEXA w/ Portaveritas

    Episode 102 is here pals! Today I am very excited to be chatting with my dear amigo, Portaveritas all about his & LuchaFlan's upcoming '200% MEXA' art exhibition that I am delighted to be a part of! We talk all about this very cool international Lucha Libre art exhibition celebrating Mexicano & Chicano voices. We both agree that the timing couldn't be any more perfect. We also talk Porta's upcoming multi-faceted Querétaro 'Lucha Efímera' exhibition (Porta is a very busy man!). Muchas gracias to the very kind & super talented Jesus Antonio Hernandez Rodriguez a.k.a. 'Portaveritas'. In my opening monologue, I chat some more about the timing of this exhibition & surrounding awful current world events in the USA. How do you just create weird, irreverent wrasslin' art when the world feels like it is crumbling?I sometimes struggle to know exactly how to talk about these things in the right way, so please endure my awkwardness. But I truly appreciate everyone who is standing together for good in the face of evil at this time. The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) is an excellent all-volunteer, grassroots immigrant rights organisation to consider supporting right now. Please know that every one of you out there protesting and striking to fight this evil have my heart & are holding together my belief in humanity. Enjoy!! Be sure to be following Portaveritas on his Instagram page! Check out ChrisThings.com.au for my own original art, prints, calendars, books & much more!

    Wrestling Art Ep. 101 - Chris Things MOTW 'Bite-Size Tripleheader' w/ Joe

    Episode 101 is here pals! It's a "Match of the Week" 'Triple-Header' time (this time in more of a bite-sized format) w/ my super loyal pal who supports all of my hair-brained Wrasslin'-Art schemes, Joe! We are chatting 3 bloody lovely matches that we watched together at one of our Wrestling Club at The Scratch events - running the gambit from Lucha to some FMW Terry Funk wildin'! Our matches in question include an early 80s New Japan classic Lucha affair in 'Super Porky' (Brazo De Plata) vs. Tiger Mask (Satoru Sayama), a classic frenetic-paced late 90s Nitro Lucha trios with La Parka, Silver King & Psychosis vs. Rey Mysterio Jr., Juventud Guerrera & Hector Garza & finally, rounding it out with an amazingly wild, prime era FMW Tornado Tag with 'The Funk-Masters of Wrestling' (Terry Funk & 'Gladiator' Mike Awesome) vs. Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka! Thanks as always Joe for a super-fun nerd-out! In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I talk starting to map out 2026 & a mind-blowingly great CULT-LUCHA classic Lucha Libre monster movie night event debut this past Sunday at Netherworld with my tag-team partner in crime, Trash Video's Andrew Leavold. Thank you once again to everyone who came along; your support of this latest ridiculously niche in-person event left us gob-smacked! Enjoy!! Check out the Chris Things Match of the Week illustrations in question here:  M.O.T.W. 109: Super Porky' (Brazo De Plata) vs. Tiger Mask M.O.T.W. 110: La Parka, Silver King & Psychosis vs. Rey Jr., Juvy & Hector Garza M.O.T.W. 111: 'Funk-Masters of Wrestling' (Terry Funk & The Gladiator) vs. Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka ChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!

    Wrestling Art Ep. 100 - Cult Lucha Preview with Trash Video's Andrew Leavold

    Wow, we made it to 100 episodes of this rambling mess of a podcast! Thank you so much everybody!! In honour of the big 100th episode, I went & had a special little in-person chat at the pub with a gentleman who has inspired many of my fringe interests in this life! From the world of Lucha Libre & Lucha Films to the schlockiest of B-Grade Cult Cinema - I don't think I would be quite the fringes of society weirdo that I have become without this chap. Someone who I also happen to be tag-teaming up with for our 'CULT-LUCHA' movie nights in 2026, Trash Video's Andrew Leavold! In this chat, we discuss Andrew's amazing Trash Video rental store in West End, Brisbane that I frequented many times back in the day, his wonderfully bizarre film & documentary making life & our mutual love of all things Mexico! I enjoyed the heck out of this chat & hope you do too!! Thanks Andrew!! Andrew's amazing video store has since evolved into the online space & can be found at the Trash Video Archives - a veritable treasure-trove of all sorts of fringe culty film goodies! ChrisThings.com.au is the place for buying my art! Fancy art prints, original art, calendars & much more!
