This Is Rad!

For week two of Radtober 2021 we are joined by Amy Drolet from the Everything is Scary podcast. We chat about the movies, TV, and media that scared the crap out of us at kids.

This week on the show Brian Wiley and Daniel Nix help Kyle and Matthew kick off Radtober 2021 with an episode about the greatest mystery solving talking dog of all time, Scoobert “Scooby” Doo. Bet you didn't know that was his actual first name, huh? We chat about the eras of Scooby-Doo and get some insight from Daniel who has worked on several Scooby-Doo projects.

This week Kyle and Matthew discuss a topic that ain't nothing to f@ck with. They are joined by one of Rad's favorite guests, the one and only Ed Greer for a rousing discussion about the music and the cultural impact of The Wu Tang Clan. What kind of impact does the idea of rappers as super heroes do to a young person's brain? What are the entry points for getting into Wu Tang and what are the essential albums? All this and several hours more will get discussed as we step into the slums of Shaolin and enter the 36 chambers...   Weekly Rads: Kyle - Cobra Kai (show) Matthew - Code Red Mountain Dew float (tasty treat) Ed - The fallout from the Rocketeer reboot having a black lead (thing that happened)   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic   Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions for our Listener Questions episodes, to get exclusive bonus episodes, extra content, and access to the This Is Rad Discord server!   Che

For the first time ever, we had a guest who was unable to make the recording. As a result, Kyle and Matthew decided to have a free period and just chat about life and whatever comes up.

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Joshua Snyder for a conversation about the many cinematic version of Batman.

This is a very special week for This Is Rad! After 18 months over zoom or outside Kyle, Matt, and Laura return home. Well, technically Matt and Laura have been LITERALLY home this whole time but as far as This Is Rad! goes we record in Matt and Laura's living room for the first time since March 2020. We couldn't be happier that our first guest back is the one and only Jenny Chalikian. While a Battlestar episode is FOR SURE on the horizon, Jenny is solo this round talking about the wonderful world of Tank Girl. From comic to movie to cultural icon, we celebrate one of the cooler comic books around.   Weekly Rads: Kyle – Glow On by Turnstile (album)   Matt and Laura – Trading offices (@LMKnightart is back upstairs!)   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic   Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions for our Listener Questions episodes, to get exclusive bonus episodes, extra content, and access to the This Is Rad Disc

This week Burnside is out (but SUPER alive) so Kyle has a one on one chat with his friend and longtime Muay Thai fighter, Mike Satumbaga about a life in martial arts. In the last year Kyle has started training and has a million questions to ask Mike. Mike spent several years as a competitive fighter while keeping it secret from his friends and family. He explains why he kept his identity as a fighter on the DL and some of the annoying side effects of someone learning you're a fighter. They talk post fight euphoria, nerds taking over sports, plus they get into their shared love of Filipino food. A fun convo that stays on the rails. There was so much to cover that there will definitely be a part two in the future.   Weekly Rads: Kyle – Acrylic Painting Mike – Back 4 Blood open beta (video game) and The Great British Throwdown (show)   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic   Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions

This week Kyle, Matthew, and Laura hang with the always fun Robert Ahn for a chat about movies about making movies. These can range from the self indigent to completely brilliant and we try to highlight some of the ones where we think they work. We also chat about the state of DC Comic movies, book vs movie adaptations, and try a fun snack!   Weekly Rads: Kyle, Matthew, and Laura - The Suicide Squad (movie) Robert - Outshine Mango and Tajin frozen juice bar (food)   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic   Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions for our Listener Questions episodes, to get exclusive bonus episodes, extra content, and access to the This Is Rad Discord server!   Check out our merch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/this-is-rad  Also!

This week Burnside is on assignment so Kyle is solo chatting with comedian Pete Buchbauer. Pete and Kyle were on a show recently and figured out Pete is friends with Kyle's cousin's husband. Sure it's a bit of a Spaceballs level relation but still neat. They chat about 90's and 00's Pop Punk. Kyle's been vocal about hating this genre but still knows a lot about it. They largely explore the origins of pop punk, it's rise to prominence, and its evolution during the early 00's. Plus, they share their experiences playing in bands and the influence of regional scenes on Pop Punk's evolution. Then they start talking comedy and it goes off the rails for a while. But its some good comedy talk nonetheless. This is absolutely a topic we'll be returning to again in future episodes. For now, enjoy!   Weekly Rads: Kyle – Woodstock '99: 3 Day of Peace, Love, and Rage (documentary)     Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 Is OUT!!!!

On our next installment of Summer of Rad 2021, we are joined by Rivers Langley and Joe Raines for a fun cookout. Each year our dear friend Rivers makes us a summer meal and we eat and hang out. This year he made Cubano sandwiches and turnip greens and Laura made cornbread. We discuss what went into making it all. WARNING: if you hate people eating on mic, either skip this ep OR fast forward an hour and you should be safe. Beyond food we also chat about the new Space Jam, some nerdy comedy talk, and the TV series Love Island. Plus, Kyle and Rivers do a LOT of quotes from Jurassic Park...   Weekly Rads: Kyle – The Forever Purge (movie) Burnside – Wellington Paranormal (show) and Space Jam: A New Legacy Laura – The Fear Street Movies (movies) and The Repair Shop (show) Rivers – McCartney 321 (series) Joe – Pig (movie)   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 Is OUT!!!!

It finally happened and what better episode than our first Summer of Rad! Kyle and Matthew are back together live and in person. But, it doesn't just stop there! They are joined by Brandie Posey, Keith Carey, and Kasey Clark to pitch their Fantasy Summer Camps.... Then it turns out only Kyle, Kasey, and Brandie did them. There are some hilarious tangents (and more talk of F9, I swear, we've just about got it out of our system!). It was rad getting to sit down face to face with our friends and we hope you enjoy joining us for the hang out.   Weekly Rads: Talking with your friends   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 Is OUT!!!!

Yes, for those keeping score, we have now had TWO former professional rollerbladers on this show. Ron shares what it's like to “go pro” and has some pretty epic injury stories. We also chat about long term comedy careers, avoiding jerks, and nerdy crap aplenty. Check out Ron's videos of some of his old rollerblading highlights and go support The Greatest pod with Ron Swallow and Ed Greer, two This Is Rad's favorite people.   Weekly Rads: Kyle – Tenet (movie) Matthew – AMC meme stocks (stocks) and the resulting in acquisition of Boss RV6, EH SuperEgo, and EH Deluxe Memory Man (guitar pedals) Ron – Lucifer (show) Raid: Shadow Legends (game)   Ron Rollerblading Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9k6Gr4YP6g The Greatest Pod on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-greatest-pod/id1567676356 and on podbean: https://the

Kyle and Matthew sit down for another round of listener questions. Now... I know what you're thinking: “Hey weren't Matthew and Kyle supposed to do this episode IN PERSON!? What kind of liars are you jerk faces?” And that is a reasonable question phrased very fairly. We have a reason. It's pretty funny. Go give the ep a listen. You might have a chuckle. The rest of the ep is fun as well, digital as it may have been...   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 Is OUT TODAY!!!!
