Geek of Oz

Beardy and the Geek are back and this time we talk to one of the men behind the phenomenal Winter City.  Patrick Purcell and his brother Carl have scripted a neo-noir detective story that revolves around a mysterious, masked and murderous man who makes his mark through meticulously mapped moments of mayhem... or similar. Back in June I reviewed the first few books and loved it so it was great to have a chat to one of it's main men, Patrick Purcell. Check out the full podcast after the jump!

Paul Bedford is a man's man, not in the sense that he belongs to another man, but in the sense that he is 100% bad arse dude. Big, strong and rough as guts he's not your stereotypical comic book creator. A modern day barbarian with a heart of gold, Bedford is the creator of The List. Previously reviewed on Beardy and The Geek, I found The List to be every bit as gritty and harrowing as the brilliant recent UK horror film The Kill List and every bit the "mind-f***" that it claims to be. Unfortunately, I wasn't present for this interview but Emmet performed admirably in my stead. In fact, I may have been dragging him down all this time. Check out the newest episode after the jump!

With only a week to rest your ear holes, Emmet from The Momus Report and I, the Geek, return for another episode of Beardy and the Geek. This week we have a chat to Darren Close, father of Rufus, a murderous anthropomorphic kangaroo (Killeroo) and creator of Oz Comics which is a place for comic book fans and creators to show off their skills through weekly challengers. Check out our interview and details on how you could have YOUR work published in a major upcoming Australian comic!

Well, it's that time again. The incomparable Emmet and I delve back into the world of Aussie comics and this time we talk about The List by Paul Bedford and Winter City by the brothers Purcell.  Both of these books have a touch of the mental so before you jump in, make sure that you have somewhere for a lay down and maybe even a safe word. Also, I give YOU details on how to WIN a trip to New York Comic-Con. Check out the podcast after the jump!

Welcome back and thanks for checking out episode 3 of Beardy and the Geek. In this episode, Emmet and I cover Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's latest Star Wars mini, Darth Maul: Death Sentence , and the satanic slice-of-life comedy The Sixsmiths by Jason Franks and J. Marc Schmidt. Check it out after the jump!

You will have already heard me bang on about how much I loved The Eldritch Kid: Whisky & Hate , but if you didn't, go read an come straight back. Luckily for Emmet O'Cuana and I, Eldritch Kid writer Christian Read spared some time to have a chat about The Eldritch Kid, Unmasked, his work on the MMO game The Secret World and eventually Young Guns and Penrith Panthers - World of Entertainment.
