schlockmagazine.net » POP CULTURE DESTRUCTION – #LIKETHATSEXTYOURMOMSENTMETHATONETIME 

Recall how I have a semi-monthly pop culture column over at Schlock Magazine? Of course you do. And now it’s back with words about Chinese epics, sleeping dogs, The Knife’s latest and, of course, sex. As you do. Anyway, check it out.

Hell is Everywhere but Here 

I’m not sure, but I think this is my first fiction this year… been pretty burnt out over this whole “writing” business, outside of the day job and pop culture/podcast work. It’s supposed to be a story about hell, but it’s just two guys talking so I’ve no idea. A failure is me! Maybe you can liven things up by imagining that the view outside being a Giger-meets-Bosch hellscape? That’s what my original plan involved…

So the May Schlock Magazine Podcast will have discussion on Marvel’s Avengers Assemble (that is the official name over here no lie) and have a whiteboard at the current HQ so this nonsensical take on the Avengers got drawn/scribbled out.  I don’t know, I just like the idea of Iron Man with a bucket helmet and grumpy Team America Captain America?

Just for shits and giggles I decided to upload “my” section of Schlock’s latest podcast as separate podcast-type thing. Yes, POP CULTURE DESTRUCTION has gone all audio!

Music used comes from Bauhaus’ Bela Lugosi’s Dead and the title track from the Dragon Quest VIII soundtrack…  

MARCO’S POP CULTURE DESTRUCTION # 2 – DEAR BELT BUCKLE

Why yes it’s that time of the month - no, not that but THAT, when a new issue of Schlock Magazine is on the airwaves and I present my second column of a pop-cultural nature - POP CULTURE DESTRUCTION ! 

This issue, I take a look at John Carter, Mass Effect 3, A Game of Thrones (season 2) and even more! 

It is all VERY EXCITING. 

Schlock’s Podcast, the March edition

Just finished off the March Schlock podcast - I say that since I’m the one who actually gets to edit the damn thing… Anyway, this month’s edition is a pretty damn packed one, and we’re all quite proud of it (especially with the discussion and contributions on the subject of story and the telling thereof). 

I also give a somewhat personal (and emotional) “tribute” to the late, great master, Moebius. Anyway, go listen!

So sometimes I look at the concept landscape work of Barontieri and Daniel Dociu and like to think that I can do something on a similar vein. Of course I can’t, but sometimes results happen.  Done for Schlock Magazine’s February issue to accompany the story Empire, Colorado by James Bambury.

So Schlock Magazine’s February Issue is out in the internet wilds, and that means I can reveal my latest little project - POP CULTURE DESTRUCTION, a monthly review column of sorts. This is the header for it, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a dumb attempt attempt to imitate the style of the likes of McBess and Sam-M. Still, I sort of like it, so I’ll try to do more following such fashion.  That hand lettering, however, sucks total ass.
