EPISODE 15: SCARES THAT CARE! Horror Convention DOUBLE-PLATINUM album

This week's episode comes after a pretty LONG hiatus due to my vacation time, schedules, and whatnot, but it turned out to be an AMAZING one. It's so good, it's actually TWO podcasts in ONE.

EPISODE 15 is kind of our DOUBLE-PLATINUM show and the theme is 1983. The first half is just our typical sit-down and shoot-the-breeze podcast in the Danger Room. We talked about what we've been up to so far this summer, my epic pilgrimage to Michigan and Chicago and back, some TV and book checkups, a new segment called the 3 Threes, and just good conversation, my friends.

The second half takes us ON LOCATION to the SCARES THAT CARE! Horror Convention that was in Williamsburg, VA this past weekend, and the best part of this CON is that it raises money for kids and families in need. And this brings us to the 1983 theme. CHRISTINE was there, and we are now friends.

The two main Horror themes of the CON were CHRISTINE and FRIGHT NIGHT reunions, both now enjoying their third decade anniversaries. We got great interviews with SCARES THAT CARE! organizer and founder Joe Ripple, Christine's Mortal Caretaker Bill Gibson, as well as film stars like William Atherton, your favorite antagonist from films like Ghostbusters, Die Hard, and Real Genius, from Fright Night William Ragsdale and Amanda Bearse (who played Marcy on Married With Children), Baywatch star Alexandra Paul and William Ostrander from Christine, and we wound it up with Sid Haig and Kane Hodder (aka Jason) team up on poor Malcolm Denare a.k.a. Moochie from Christine.

It's a great show, so go download/listen now: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/gyunrapk2uhjezf/KwameJason15.mp3

I'll miss you Christine...

EPISODE 14: BONO Variant Podcast

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/1md9z5yxrmqcd7e/KwameJason14.mp3

We had an AWESOME time this morning recording Episode 14 of the Kwame & Jason: It Is What It Is Podcast with our very special guest Bono, and no, not that guy from U2. Our Bono is way cooler and he pronounces it better too.

But yeah, it was a fun time and Bono was great. We talked about Pharrell's return to Virginia Beach at both Princess Anne High School, his alma mater, as well as his appearance at Shaggfest. We also talked about my recent adventure on the USS Cole for Harborfest, Tracy Morgan's accident, Harvward's discovery of a book made out of human skin, and of course...movies!!!

We delved into X-Men: Days of Future Past again with Bono's glowing review as well as the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, and Bono enlightened us about a documentary being shot locally called "Fight Church," about a local pastor who trains MMA and it's being done by an Oscar Award Winning director. Oh, and as always we went sideways and veered here there and everywhere. You won't want to miss the good times that were had by all.

GO JOIN THE CONVERSATION!!!

EPISODE 13: Sad Days in Norfolk

It's Sunday once again and we were back in the Danger Room for another episode of the Kwame & Jason: It Is What It Is podcast, once again joined by our good friend Katie. What was planned to be an episode dedicated to the new X-Men: Days of Future Past film took a substantially more serious tone. We talked about this weekend's tragedy in Norfolk and the discussion turned towards religion and faith, the gun control issues, local crime, as well as self-awareness and preservation. We also recapped last week's Mega Nerd Garage Sale, Game of Thrones was brought up, and yes, we did talk about X-Men, even though Katie didn't do her "homework." Granted, she had a pretty good excuse.

So go LISTEN or DOWNLOAD Episode 13 here: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/blef2ueiyvyiiz3/KwameJason13.mp3
