Episode 105: The Good Ol’ Days With Scott and Chris!
Views From The Longbox is back! After another one of my seemingly endless absences I finally got a chance to sit down and edit this episode that was recorded eons ago. I do apologize for that and while I won’t promise that this sort of thing is never going to happen again because I can’t keep doing that I will say that I am going to do my best to keep Views on a weekly schedule.
In any case this time out I sit down with Chris Honeywell and Scott Gardner of Two True Freaks (Scott and I also co-host Tales of the Justice Society of America and Back to the Bins) and we have a long chat about what I refer to the “good ol’ days” of collecting. What was it like to collect a title before a comic shop was readily available? What was it like to miss an issue when eBay? How many mom and pop candy stores and 7-11s and Walden Books and cigar shops did you have to travel to in order to find all of the comics that you wanted? What was it like to walk into that first comic shop? All of these questions will be discussed in addition to the usual digressions that accompany Scott, Chris and I getting together.
Next time: Shag and I get together to talk the third anniversary of the show, which happened at the beginning of June, but I’m running late. Then I will finally release the Identity Crisis episode that I recorded with Stella, host of the Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast. This will be followed by probably a month’s worth of episodes with Thomas Deja (he of Better in the Dark and DJ’s Comics Cavalcade fame) covering both Captain America and Underworld Unleashed!
Thanks for the patience, folks. I hope you enjoy the show.
Hey guys, listening to the show now. I just wanted to say that the mall where Dawn of the Dead was shot was, I believe, the Monroeville Mall in Monroeville, located outside of Pittsburgh.
