Pint O' Comics

Did you ever wonder what got The Jo(h)ns into pop culture? Well, we are going to tell you anyways. From funny books to cartoons and beyond, we dive into our histories and what made us who we are, explorers of greater geekdom! Listen In!

Jon and John bounce around in a good ol' fashioned Pint. Sandman and the death of a series inspiration, Star Trek goodness on TV again and a local CT microbrewery that did not exactly live up to Sir Jon's expectations. Also if you dig the outro riff we have used since episode 1, we give you the whole song as a bonus! Local CT hard rockers Soldiers of Solace are releasing their debut album on January 26th and we would love it if you checked them out! Listen In!

Lou Skywalker sits in with Sir Jon and Ganache as we talk to The Dizzle himself, Chad Davis of the great podcast Pass The Effin Popcorn in the WESU studios. Topics range from Chad's love for Saved By The Bell, the top ten films he saw in theaters in 2017 and what is coming up this year for him and his show. A New Year's Eve to be remembered for sure, please enjoy or re-enjoy this classic from The Mighty Pint Radio Hour.

Stargate. The Crying Game. Fantasy Football. Black Christmas. The Archive. The Foreigner. Mentions of Dicknado and the failed Wonder Woman pilot. Per usual, an extremely focused episode of The Pint. Oh, and The Manster sits in. Oh, and a little Stephen King talk and lusting over Carla Gugino. Oh and...just Listen In.

Dem Boyz decided to do a big show for their 30th. How about bringing The Manster and Lou back to discuss the latest Disney movie? No, we ain't talking cartoon mice or ducks, we mean Star Wars! Listen in as we yell and scream at each other over tactically improbable bombing runs, Yoda puppets, roasted Porg and much more. How hard was this film for one of our childhoods? Will one of us sing a Depeche Mode song? Will you agree or disagree with our points? Only one way to know...

A day late last week equals a day early this week! A fun episode from our WESU show, The Jo(h)ns and G.I. Gary host Flint Dille, writer, producer and creator extraordinaire! If you have seen the Sunbow Transformers or G.I. Joe cartoons of the 1980's then you know Flint's work. We discuss everything from that to his work in the gaming industry to Gary's acquisition of multiple copies of a particular toy that most kids could not get one of! It's a special episode for you on this Christmas and new episodes back to Tuesday next week!

The New Dynamic Duo return just in time to talk local beer, board games, Netflix shows and, ummm...Oh yeah, the Justice League movie! What character was Jon's least favorite? Is Ben Batman for long? What happened with the lamp in John's dining room? Listen In for answers to all this and maybe more!

Answers to none of these questions on the show! Listen in and Happy Halloween!

Sex The Animal, providers of the new Pint opening radio theme come on the show to talk music and much more. Beam And Icculus laugh along with Jon and John as we discuss Richard Marx hairdos, throwing up through screen doors, songs named after Greek pastries and tons more. A bonus to this bonus radio episode is three tracks off of their debut album, best described as organic electro space jazz from the inside of an ant's mind's eye. You know, that category. Listen In!

Folks from Alterna Comics and Darby Pop Publishing are amongst the interviews on this episode, but don't fret Sir Jon fans, his dulcimer tones are all over the intro and outro segments. Listen In!
