OUP - EP2 - Release the Wolves

Sky's the limit and space is the place! We return once again with the whole crew! It's been a while and one of the mics was having problems, which may or may not include an on switch. Needless to say we were a little rusty. Ross leads off the conversation with hand-held gaming systems and talking about his sweet 3DS and thoughts on the PS Vita. Barry shows some experience in the Vita department, but 3DS leads with little to no competition in the hand-held department. Some other gaming is discussed as Ross updates us on Splatoon and speculation for the future. We briefly touch on Star War: A New Dawn which features Kanan from Rebels. We switch gears and talk about Gundam Origins Book I from Vertical and Hell Comes To Frogtown. Both of which should get their own show, really. We discuss Castlevania 3 and it's jump to the small screen before going indepth with Rick & Morty being an intelligent cartoon in a world of stupid cartoons. Next, we cover Immolation which is a pamphlet sized independent comic from Zack Clemente and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz (shop.rlopezortiz.com for your copy) and share some Kickstarter love. Mike brings up the monumental question: Star Wars or Star Trek? In Curtis' dumb fashion that wasn't enough so he forces the panel to give favorites and first SW movie memories. We finally round if out with another Star Wars novel: Death Troopers, which is a good zombie book set in the Star Wars universe.   --/--3DS vs PSVita and Splatoon and online play - Opening  --/--Quick mention of Star Wars: A New Dawn (Lucasfilm/Disney, 2015) - 14:58  --/--Gundam Origin Book I (Vertical) - 17:45  --/--Hell Comes To Frogtown starring Roddy Piper (New World Pictures, 1988) - 20:02  --/--Possible Castlevania 3 coming to the small screen - 23:20 --/--Rick & Morty (Adult Swim, 2013) - 24:52  --/--Immolation by Zach Clemente and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz (Independent) and Kickstarter Mentions - 32:31  --/--Star Wars vs Star Trek - 40:48  --/--Star Wars: Death Troopers (Lucasfilms) - 01:07:10 --/-- 

OUP - EP13 - Battle Between The Stars

We return with the most content and cussing on an episode yet. We introduce you to Barry who joins us as we unleash our odyessy into the supernatural as we cover Ghost Adventures. As we talk about the television show from the Travel channel, our conversation leads us to taking about our own meetings (or lack there of) of the supernatural. From ghosts and ghouls, to the giants of the squared circle. We attempt to run down OUR top favorite wrestlers from days gone by. It started out as a good idea, but lack or brain power may have left a few lists lacking. We also mention one or two wrestlers who may, in our eyes, be a bit overrated. For some reason, we talk at length about wrestling, so, we hope you enjoy it. Finally we round the podcast out with a discussion about the first issue of aa independent comic called Pop Star Assassins. --/--Play times  --/--Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel) - 08:41 --/--Top Favorite Wrestlers / Wrestling Memories - 47:00  --/--Pop Star Assassin #1 (Independent) - 1:27:52  --/--Thank yous were suspended for this episode due to length, but our thanks to everybody, regardless.  --/--Twitter: @odysseyunleash  --/--Email: odyssey-unleashed@hotmail.com  --/--Blog: oddysseyunleahsed.wordpress.com  --/--

OUP - EP12 - Wrestling with Ghost Assassins

He's a bad mother... Shut your mouth... I'm just talking about Pastor. That's right, Isaiah 'Pastor' Hurt the star of 'World of Hurt:' created, plotted, written, drawn, lettered and published by Jay Potts at www.worldofhurtonline.com. Amazing stories from the 'Internet's #1 Blaxploitation Webcomic.' "Sometimes Good People Need A Bad Man. In 1972 Isaiah 'Pastor' Hurt was the baddest Man In The World." We're able to sit down with Jay and talk about the world of Hurt and explore even more of the world of Blaxploitation. Humbled and honored for him to be the first interview we have done. Thank you, Mr. Potts. We delve into Luke Cage's backstory and see what makes the man tick and how Carl Lucas became badass Luke Cage. Next, we sink our fangs into 'Blacula' staring William Marshall, a badass in his own right, and how he was cursed by Dracula to forever be known as Blacula and we don't even spoil the whole thing (there are minor spoilers, but nothing that's not in the trailer). We wrap this up by giving thanks to those who have helped spread the word.  --/--Playing times: --/--Splatoon playing, Fallout 4 trailer watching and Denver Comic Con 2015 roundup - opening  --/--Talk about meeting Mr. Jay Potts and how it happened and 'World Of Hurt' - 16:39 --/--Interview with Mr. Jay Potts - 23:10 --/--Luke Cage Hero For Hire (1972, Marvel Comics) - 42:48 --/--Blacula (1972, American International Pictures) - 55:01 --/--Thank yous - 01:04:25 --/--Jay Potts: www.worldofhurtonline.com and twitter @World_Of_Hurt --/--EHT Comics site: EHTComics.wordpress.com  --/--Twitter: @odysseyunleash  --/--Blog: odysseyunleashed.wordpress.com  --/--email: odyssey-unleahsed@hotmail.com  --/--

OUP - EP11 - Badasses - DCC Review / Interview with 'World Of Hurt' creator Jay Potts

In this episode, see Mike transform into the talking dead. We cover a number of subjects and one particular segment has nothing to do with comics or music. Baseball...yes, baseball, but I think you'll like it none the less. We talk about the ever present DC television universe including The Flash and prospected future shows. A couple of independent comics are covered, as well, in the form of killer pumpkins and mysterious skinwalkers. Not to be outdone, Mike hints at signs of life when Ross is AWOL as we talk about Luc Besson's Valerian.

OUP - EP9 - Rebel Avengers of Hyrule

 On iTunesIn this episode, hear us talk about relevant entertainment without actually spoiling everything. Outside of that, this may be the most unique of our podcasts thus far. We speak talk about the new Daredevil Netflix series and what we expected and things that went beyond our expectations. At the end of the Daredevil discussion, Mike gives mention to a couple other shows he's current on speaks about the final season of a more infamous television program. From there we move into wrestling, current and past, while comparing the classic wrestling of the late 90s to what's served up today. Differing options on today's talent and how they are possibly held back and constrained by writing and developmental. Next the animated DC movie Batman Vs. Robin is on our plate and how Damian has weaseled his way viciously into our hearts. The preview of Justice League: Gods and Monsters also gets a little tape time intertwined in the Batman/Damian Talk. Finally, we thank all of you, some specifically, but to everyone that has given us a chance. --/-- Daredevil (2015, Netflix/Marvel Studios), SoA and Bloodline - 01:25 --/--Wrestling - 90s vs. Now also WrestleMania and Extreme Rules - 28:00 --/--Batman vs. Robin (2015, WB/DC Entertainment) and preview of Justice League: Gods and Monsters - 47:16 --/--Thank yous - 1:08:22 --/--Twitter: @odysseyunleash - email: @odyssey-unleashed@hotmail.com - www.odysseyunleashed.wordpress.com

OUP - EP8 - The Devil's Favorite Demon

We've set out to prove you can polish a turd. After the horror of editing the last episode, new equipment was brought in to make the best of that bad situation. We apologize for the quality of the last episode and tried to make it a little more dog-less, as well. We like our sci-fi and Space Riders fits the bill there. Great story with imaginative art that creates a classic fill. We put Judge Dredd up against Dredd and throw out some likes and dislikes. We talke about the classic Morlock 2001 by Fliescher and Milgrom and the similiarities between it and some other media in the sci-fi world. Lastly we talk a little music and bring up Bad Company and the impact, or lack thereof, the group may have had on our lives. Thank you all for sticking with us and we'll have more lined out in the future.

OUP - EP7 - Judge Not A Company Of Monsters

Join us as we talk about the new "proof of concept" tralier for The Leviathan. Something that has the makings of being a huge sci-fi epic with some fantastic visiuals...if they can keep it under budget. We move on to out comic convention experiences including the awesome creators we've encountered over the years...and some of the disappointments. The Black Hood rears his ugly head courtesy of Dark Circle comics and we dove in head first. We thought we had some of the technical issues worked out, but they presented themselves once again. Different equipment has been ordered and hopefully will be here in time for the next episode. Bare with us and we'll deliver a humdinger of an episode next time.The Leviathan "proof of concept" trailer - opening   /--Comic Convention experiences and the creators we've met - 05:42   /--The Black Hood (2015 Dark Circle Comics) - 51:44  /-- Catch us on twitter @odysseyunleash and email at odyssey-unleashed@hotmail.com
