This is the first of a series of articles from New York Comic Con 2011.

Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick brought plenty of laughs and stories about oil to Friday’s “Venture Brothers” panel at the New York Comic Con. The panel consisted of questions culled from emails that were only “slightly stupid.”

The true definition of a “rusty venture” came up with Doc saying Brock was closest to the truth. Jackson, on the other hand, believes it involves a barrel. It’s hard to believe it and Shallow Gravy (Hank’s band) weren’t in the first draft of the “Home School Prom” episode. When asked which character’s they’d like to get a “rusty venture” from Jackson answered Shore Leave and Doc chose Gary. However, the best was yet to come. (more…)

WWE and TNA listen up. Since both organizations are trying to be drama rather than wrestling, I think it’s about time you learned something from drama. Something that will both create compelling television and give old-school wrestling fans what they want. And all you need to do is watch HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

So what can a show about a world with dragons and long winters teach the writers at WWE and TNA? Why how to create a villain of course. All you have to do is look to Joffrey Baratheon. (more…)

When discussing “Holy Terror,” Frank Miller has been very upfront that it’s a propaganda piece. Its goal is to paint the enemy in the most awful light possible to rally support. So when I read people like Wired.com’s Spencer Ackerman saying it is “completely uninterested in any nuance or empathy toward 1.2 billion people he conflates with a few murderous conspiracy theorists” I ask, “Why should it?” It’s propaganda. Propaganda is supposed to be one-dimensional. Did you expect it to be anything else? So onto the next question, is it any good? (more…)

One of my favorite shows is “Game of Thrones.”  I love the show so much I immediately began reading the books. Author George R.R. Martin has created a vast, fascinating world populated with unique and memorable characters. Some of these characters stories are not only compelling but are also great premises for sitcoms. So, here’s a list of sitcom spin offs for “Game of Thrones.” Feel free to leave comments. (more…)

1997 was a compelling year for the WWE. On TV it was one of the most exciting times with the USA vs. Canada feud, the rise of Steve Austin, the birth of the Rock, the formation of Degeneration X, the coming of Kane, and Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were on a collision course both inside and outside the ring which would culminate in one of the most controversial moments in wrestling history. Behind the scenes it was a nightmare. WWE was being slaughtered by WCW in the ratings and PPV buys thanks to the amazing (but beaten to death) NWO storyline. Despite these set backs everything was in place for the company to do the best business in its history. All they needed was a spark. In Kayfabe Commentaries “Timeline (the History of WWE) 1997 with Jim Cornette” the legendary manager/writer/booker takes us on a journey to the moment where the spark was found and ignited what would become known as “the Attitude Era.” (more…)
