    A Conversation with JD McGibney from Angels on the Battlefield

    On this extra special episode Matt has the honor of sitting down with JD McGibney (guitarist/composer from ANGELS ON THE BATTLEFIELD) for an incredible conversation that was supposed to be all about nerdy interests and how awesome JD's hair is, but instead evolves into a sometimes funny, often times moving discussion about mental health struggles and the work it takes to find peace within yourself. Regular listeners to Does This Come in Chromium will love getting to know JD.  From the first moments of the episode, he reveals himself to truly be one of the nicest and most thoughtful people in the world (who also just so happens to be an extraordinarily talented guitar player and composer).  With his band, ANGELS ON THE BATTLEFIELD, JD has not only found a vehicle to express the ups and downs of his own battles with anxiety and depression, but he's also striving to help others by empowering them to look within and find their strength to face the battles in their lives with courage. Also, JD's a nerd.  After all, he discovered his love of music through the Adam Sandler "classic" LITTLE NICKY.   To listen to JD's music and learn more about his mental health advocacy, please visit: https://onthewingsofdragons.com/ Contact the show: doesthiscomeinchromium@gmail.com Follow Matt on BlueSky: @mattbegins.bsky.social  Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)

    Halloween #1 with Bobby Trippett

    On this episode Matt and the man responsible for teaching Michael Myers to drive, Bobby Trippett (co-host of the GRINDBIN PODCAST) hide in some bushes and yell at that little jerk Lonnie to get his ass away from the show so they can discuss 2000's HALLOWEEN #1. This is a comic based on Matt's all-time favorite movie, which means Bobby is as good as confined to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, forced to listen to near endless rantings of a lunatic, "Bobby, I watched the movie SIX TIMES (today)!" Bobby displays the patience of a man who is staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall to a time when Matt has finished attempting to create a verbal visual aid to help listeners better understand the different Halloween timelines.  It goes about as well as one would expect from Matt. Also, both Matt and Bobby dip their toes into the world of fan fiction as they repeatedly speculate on the private life of Dr. Sam Loomis.  The man worked (not at all) hard and he played (probably golf) hard. #JusticeforBenTramer Support Bobby by subscribing and listening to the Grindbin Podcast: https://grindbin.libsyn.com/ Follow Bobby on BlueSky: @bobbytrippett.bsky.social Contact the show: doesthiscomeinchromium@gmail.com Follow Matt on BlueSky: @mattbegins.bsky.social  Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)

    Generation X #1 with Bobby Trippett

    On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Bobby Trippett (from the GRINDBIN PODCAST) try their best to be totally radical and like, you know, all that and a bag of chips while discussing 1994's GENERATION X #1. If listeners should expect anything from X-Men related episodes of Chromium, it's that Matt really doesn't know anything about the X-Men family - but does that stop him from constantly interrupting and talking over Bobby (the actual expert on the topic)?  Nope, not at all.  In fact, he does it more than usual.  There's a reason the episode clocks in at just over three hours.  That reason's name is Matt. While Bobby, ever the consummate podcast pro, stays laser focused on expressing his love for GENERATION X and making sure that the listeners actually learn things about the characters and storyline, Matt makes a clumsy pitch for paying subscribers and recalls a time he was derisively called "gen x" by an elderly man in a grocery store. But it's cool because both Bobby and Matt agree that Gavin Rossdale would've killed it as Chamber in a movie and more importantly that people need to stop making fun of them for thinking that Bush is a pretty awesome band. Also, Night Man is mentioned once.  By Matt.  Of course.

    Reign of the Supermen Part 2 with David Walton and Glitch

    On this episode Matt is joined by reigning special guest co-hosts David Walton and Glitch to continue their discussion of all things Jeb Friedman as they revisit 1993's classic Jeb Friedman story REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN (in which all of the Supermen are Jeb Friedman). If you want to read along with this episode you'll need to grab your copies of ACTION JEB FRIEDMAN #688, JEB FRIEDMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #23, JEB FRIEDMAN #79, and ADVENTURES OF JEB FRIEDMAN #502.  Stay tuned for part 3 coming very soon (unless Jeb swoops in and charms the podcast away from Matt)!

    The Shadow and Doc Savage #'s 1 and 2 with Robby Robertson

    On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Robby Robertson try to figure out why someone would even want to eat the bitter fruit of a weed while discussing 1995's THE SHADOW AND DOC SAVAGE #'s 1 and 2. Matt and Robby have been friends in the podcast world for a few years now, but Matt realized that he really didn't know anything about Robby - like is he really a chef?  And a doctor?  Does he really come from Georgia?  The answer to all of those is yes, but that barely scratches the surface of just how cool Robby is. After we get to know Robby, then it's all about The Shadow!  And to a lesser extent, Doc Savage (sorry, but both Matt and Robby know more about The Shadow -- so if you're listening and happen to be a Doc Savage expert, reach out and we'll do an episode together!).  It's cool though, The Shadow and Doc Savage beat up Nazis together.  So even if Matt and Robby don't know much about this Doc Savage fellow, they know he's awesome because he beats up Nazis.  And really, what else do you need to know? If you like food, cooking, old time radio, stories about growing up, pulp heroes, and a passing mention of Night Man - then this is the episode for you!

    Primal Force #2 with Ian Anderson

    On this episode Matt and Ian try their best to avoid being sassed by Cataclysm while they talk about 1994's PRIMAL FORCE #2! The issue by issue discussion of PRIMAL FORCE continues! Before getting into PRIMAL FORCE #2 Matt tells Ian all about their beloved Jack O'Lantern's first appearance, which can best be described as charmingly dark.  Then Matt tries to verbally edit a joke he tells in this episode into the previous episode.  He still has no idea how podcasts work. Then it's time for the big showdown: The Leymen (remember they are NOT called Primal Force) versus Cataclysm...in a park! It's a great fight because we see the villain get punched in the butt by a creature made of clay. Also, Ian puts a real fine point on the downside of being friends with Meridian.  Or if you like being handed a baby by someone who just teleported into your apartment in the middle of the afternoon while you're only wearing a shirt, then Ian really shines a light on the upside of being friends with Meridian. Stay tuned for the PRIMAL FORCE #3 episode coming soon!

    Walter Koenig's Raver #1 with A. Lee Martinez and David Walton

    On this episode Matt and special guest co-hosts A. Lee Martinez (author of UNBEARABLE - available now!) and David Walton (recovering from eye surgery now!) try to decide which one of them is going to be sacrificed while the other two eat ice cream and discuss 1993's RAVER #1. Regular listeners to the show will have seen it coming for a while now, but this is the episode that finally broke Matt.  The comic, written by STAR TREK's very own Walter Koenig, was just the right combination of interesting and baffling that it opened the cosmic door and let madness run rampant into Matt's mind.  He will now do nothing but ramble insufferably (well, ramble insufferably MORE than before). But what about Lee and David?  Well, to add insult to Matt's madness, somehow they both kept their heads about them and also managed to speak intelligently about RAVER #1.  In fact, David reveals himself to be some sort of philosopher while Lee stakes a claim to be Does This Come in Chromium's "Arbiter of Interesting" (business cards coming soon). There's no other way to put it: this is the WILDEST episode of Chromium yet and you'd have to be some sort of rav(er)ing lunatic to not listen! Even though he doesn't need my help to sell books, everyone should read everything Lee has written: https://aleemartinez.com/ And while you're at it, you should BUY Lee's newest novel UNBEARABLE: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Unbearable/A-Lee-Martinez/9781668073452 Follow Lee on BlueSky: @aleemartinez.bsky.social Follow David on BlueSky: @benreilly149.bsky.social Contact the show: doesthiscomeinchromium@gmail.com Follow Matt on BlueSky: @mattbegins.bsky.social  Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)

    Primal Force #1 with Ian Anderson

    On this episode Matt and rookie Leyman Ian Anderson prepare to recite an awkwardly long oath by discussing 1994's PRIMAL FORCE #1. That's right folks, the issue by issue coverage of PRIMAL FORCE begins here!  Well, technically it began with the PRIMAL FORCE #0 episode, but now it's official.  Matt and Ian will be talking about the entire run of PRIMAL FORCE.  Issue by issue.  Or at least that's the plan until Ian forsakes the Leymen's oath, throws his medallion in the nearest pool, and walks away from the show. But until then Matt and Ian talk about whether or not one of the Leymen medallions is more woke than the others, wonder if Meridian will ever wear something other than a swimsuit, and declare that Jack O'Lantern is so gosh darn delightful!  Follow Ian on BlueSky: @comicbookian.bsky.social Contact the show: doesthiscomeinchromium@gmail.com Follow Matt on BlueSky: @mattbegins.bsky.social  Intro music from the song "Doin' What We Do" by the always amazing Mustard Plug (https://mustardplug.com/)
