WOJM: What’s On Joe Mind?

Special Edition 67: Ragin' On The Catwalk

We at WOJM know that money is tight for a lot of folks right now, so please bear with us as we support another creator who's turned to crowd-sourcing funds.  This time, longtime friend of the program Paul Kirschstein, better known as the mind, beard, and sleepy tenor behind Raginspoon Toys, chats with Mike and guest host Dave Draper from Toy World Order about his new Kickstarter project, Complex Base Building System Series Two!  The continuation of last year's very successful Series One (which was not launched on Kickstarter), the team covers the ins, outs, stretch goals, and pledge levels for the project.  No other toy manufacturer seems interested in providing a base for your action figures these days, but Raginspoon is doing is darnedest to bring you a building system that's modular and completely customizable!  Check out the project on Kickstarter and pledge TODAY!

WOJM 118: What's On Toe Mind?

It's October, which means changing leaves, pumpkin spice, Halloween, and... WOJM Ladies Night!  Joe and (Honorary Lady) Mike are joined once again by Sara Detrick and Kate McLeod for discussion, news, and one of the best "Losertown" segments of all time!

Since the holiday season is upon us, Joe leads the team through a brief discussion of GI Joe-themed vintage Halloween costumes and Hallmark Christmas ornaments, and Sara is scarred by Lady Jaye while taking a shine to Speedy.  You can find pictures of the costumes at:

Vintage costumes - http://www.vintage3djoes.com/playsuits--costumes.html

French masks - https://www.yojoe.com/international/france/masks.shtml

Also, Mike leads a mini-interview of Joe, as she recounts her long, eleven-year journey towards becoming an American citizen, which she completed September 11.  Congratulations to Joe!

On The Spot: Kenneth R. Koepnick, Esq.

The legendary Cousin Kenny from ROMA Collectibles stops by, in an unusual prequel/sequel/companion piece to the upcoming WOJM 118.  This episode will likely disqualify both Kenny and Mike from ever running for public office.

On The Spot: Sara's Coup

Sara Detrick brazenly campaigns for Joe Colton's chair on WOJM as Mike takes stock of the noon hour at COIL Con 10 in Dayton, Ohio.

On The Spot: Paul Allor's First COIL Con!

Mike and The Full Force's Chris McLeod talk about the upcoming GI Joe 2 from IDW, and Chris's mind is blown by the reveals in the book.  (Despite this, the episode is SPOILER-FREE.)  Paul gives his impressions of the show and expresses his admiration for exact change and those who use it.

Special Edition 66: Action Force Kickstarter 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Mike and Joe catch an hour with Bobby Vala in advance of the relaunch of his Action Force Kickstarter this Friday, October 18!  Bobby takes the cast through the pledge levels, add-ons, and stretch goals of the project - as well as REVEALING HOW YOU CAN GET THE SPECIAL STEEL BRIGADE OFFICER'S HEAD!  Time is of the essence on that limited exclusive piece, so be sure that you're listening closely!
Since Mike (our editor) is traveling to COIL Con this weekend (be sure to stop in and say hello if you're in the Dayton, Ohio, area), the only way to get this episode up before the launch was to take a page out of the old Gary Godsoe Fast & Dirty Playbook... that's right, there was no time for editing this one, so pardon the long pauses and occasional verbal flubs.  (Blame Joe.)

Rack Time 8: GI Joe ARAH 267

RACK TIME IS... SHAQ TIME!  Rob inadvertently celebrates the return of the NBA with an all-new Rack Time, spotlighting IDW's GI Joe: A Real American Hero 267!  Larry Hama and Robert Adkins have COBRA invading Fort Wadsworth - revealing the awful truth behind the disappearance of Gary Godsoe's Fantasy Football team!

Be sure to catch Rack Time Rob at COIL Con 10 this Saturday (October 19) in Dayton, Ohio at the WOJM booth!

Special Edition 65: Arune Singh's 2019 NYCC Roundup

Longtime friend of the program (and Vice President of Marketing for BOOM! Studios) Arune Singh gets behind the microphone to give his account of the just-completed 2019 New York Comic Con!  Really, NYCC hardly had any GI Joe content to speak of, but we'll take any excuse to get Arune on the program.

Mike and Arune also discuss the upcoming Snake-Eyes movie, why the other WOJM hosts might be snubbing him, and Arune's budding career as a comics writer.  Arune and Mike also give thanks to the long-time (long-suffering?) WOJM fans to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving.  Pass the cranberry sauce, eh?

Be sure to pick up the trade paperback WWE: Then Now Forever #4 on October 30, to read Arune's Jinder Mahal story - his IRS story from late last year is also included, so if you missed it the first time around, you can get both in one book!

Rack Time 7: GI Joe 1

Rack Time Rob is back (time) to take you through GI Joe 1 from Paul Allor and Chris Evenhuis, which premiered a few weeks ago from IDW.  We wanted to leave some time in between the release of the book and its corresponding Rack Time to allow for everyone to get a chance to read it - but all the same, we'll put a SPOILER WARNING on this one if you haven't.  Enjoy the fantastic all-new GI Joe, and give Paul (@PaulAllor) and Chris (@ChrisEvenhuis) some love on Twitter!

Special Edition 64: The Stealth Hammer

Mike and Joe roll out the welcome mat for Ryan Drost of Star Joes, who's making his long-awaited return to present his new comic book project, Stealth Hammer!  Ryan gives the skinny on attempting to fulfill his lifelong dream of creating a comic book with the help of funding via Kickstarter.  You can help Ryan achieve his dream (and pick up what sounds like a really fun book) for as little as a $3 pledge by October 20.  You can find the Kickstarter's home here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stealth-hammer/stealth-hammer-all-ages-superhero-comic?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=stealth%20hammer

We've got just a little over two weeks left to help!  If you're on the fence, go ahead and pledge - you made bigger mistakes buying lunch this week that cost you more than three dollars.  If you're not in a position to help financially, PLEASE SHARE THE LINK EVERYWHERE YOU GO ONLINE!  There's a tough road ahead but we can make this happen one issue at a time!

If you have any questions, you can reach out to Ryan at starjoespodcast@gmail.com, or use WOJM as a go-between if that works better for you!  We've got a great record for backing Kickstarters, so let's keep up that reputation here!  PLEDGE TODAY!

WOJM Lost Episode 4: So Close, And Yet So Far

Wow, it's been a long time since we used this header, huh?  Hopefully it'll be another six years before we drag it out again.  Although to be fair, it's never been used to announce the actual losing of an episode before.

Mike gives a short statement to explain the death and impending phoenix-like rebirth of Episode 118, along with a teaser of what might have been.  Special thanks to Jason Thees and Terry Dizard for their help in the attempts to save the show!

WOJM 117: This Episode's Title Has Been Trademarked

With Joe prepping for Dragon Con and Carson lost to his workload, Mark Weber and Bobby Vala return to the WOJM compound to host the first episode with not one, but TWO former Hasbro heads-of-the-brand!  It's over three hours of GI Joe content as our intrepid crew sails the sea of Snake-Eyes movie news, IDW comic happenings, and Postsac letters!  This episode also takes a nostalgic turn as Mike talks about cast turnover and gives tribute to the end of a colleague's podcast, and Mark relives the best advice he ever got from his veterinarian.  Jerry Lewis may be gone, but your Labor Day weekend marathon is RIGHT HERE!

On The Spot: One Last Shot From Podcasters' Row

Mike gives a tearful farewell to Brian and Johnny of the Infamous Podcast.  That Pulitzer is as good as ours.

On The Spot: World's Latest Boss Fight Press Release

Erik Arana's triumphant return to WOJM extols the latest triumphs of Boss Fight Studio, from the acquisition of the Flash Gordon/Phantom rights, their upcoming Lucha Libre announcement, and the continuing success of the Bucky O'Haire and Steeds lines.

There's an intermission in there where Erik had to solve a cash register crisis, so enjoy some appropriate intermission music.
