Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

#19: Going Japanese

In this episode we start off by talking about the many words and phrases used to describe boobs and penises, then we try to act like adults by going over a list of the top Japanese authors you should check out.

Not only do we break down the authors and their work, but we also go into Japanese culture and how it differs from the western world. Then we end things with a quick rant about the new trailer for the Watchmen TV show.

#18: Where The Magic Happens

In this episode, we discuss the rules of writing magical realism. We break down what magical realism is and how it differs from fantasy. Then we knock some smarts into you by going over the differences between hippies and hipsters, why Caleb dislikes Philadelphia, and what kind of events we want to cover in the future.

DBS #8: Talkin' Press Gigs And Comic Books

In this Drunken Bullshit episode, we talk about our hatred for people who purposely post movie spoilers online, our upcoming press gigs, and our issues (no pun intended) with the current state of the comic book industry. This is a pretty relaxed episode. At least for our standards.

#17: The Golden Rules Of Show Don't Tell

After discussing the dynamics involved in the revolting practice known as boofing, we actually have a good writing discussion about the importance of showing rather than telling in regards to your fiction. 

Of course, it wouldn't be a DPW episode without some shenanigans, but we manage to stay in line in this episode. And for once we didn't talk about comics at all. That might be a new record for us!

DBS #7: The 420 Special Aftershow

We'll be honest with you, this isn't our best episode. In fact, we probably rambled nonsense for the first ten minutes. But we do eventually get to talking about new movies such as Glass, Hellboy, and we even talk about E. L. James' new book, The Mister.

#16: It's 420 And We're Gettin' Stoned On Fiction

On this special 420 episode, we discuss some must-read works of fiction for all the marijuana enthusiasts out there. We also go into the most memorable movie stoners and what movies shouldn't actually be considered stoner flicks. So sit back, spark up a J, and have a good time as we delight your ears with our off brand of humor.

DBS #6: Too Drunk To Think But Not Too Drunk To Talk Writing

In this Drunken Bullshit episode, we have a long discussion about our current projects, our writing processes, and our dreams of one day getting published. Then as the booze really begins to take hold, we talk about the awesomeness that is Into The Spider-Verse, the disappointment of the new Pet Sematary movie, What books we're currently reading, accidental book purchases, and a lot more drunken nonsense. There's plenty to unravel in this one!

BOTM #1: Hair Of The Dog Review

In our first Book of the Month episode, we get drunk and do a terrible job of reviewing Hair of the Dog: Book One, by Matt Holland. We give this book 4 out of 5 whiskey shots. It's a title any drunkard can get behind. Check out the synopsis below. 

"Magic has cured every disease, wiped out hunger, and made most fuel obsolete. The only problem it hasn't solved is war. But there's no profit in peace is there? 

Layla Redford is a mercenary for hire. She's good at it too. Way better value for money than her competitors. Her latest contract? Track down and put the boot to a group of kidnappers who've been dragging innocent people off to the desert. 

A good job and a rare chance to do some good. But Layla's only lead is disgraced military sergeant, Dominic Asruan. And she's not the only one on his trail. Dominic is wanted for murder, with a half million bounty on his head. Cash like that is drawing all the scum out of the desert: cannibals, bounty hunters, slavers, a guy who dresses like a snake. Layla has to outsmart, outgun, and outfight them all if she wants to finish her job and free dozens of innocent people.

And get paid, obviously."

DBS #5: Gettin' Drunk And Talkin' Comics

In the drunken aftermath of our last episode, we talk and slur our way around a slew of interesting topics: comic books, movies, superhero genitals, our writing failures, anime, manga, public restroom etiquette, annoying teenagers, terrible rappers, the book of the month.

We go on and on about any and everything while enjoying the finest of beverages. Good or bad, this episode was a lot of fun to record.

#15: Talking Characters And Why You Can't Kill Off The Joker

We capsized the boat immediately in this episode and never quite managed to right ship. We do talk a lot about comics, movies, and why people need to chill out in regards to changing famous characters for various adaptations. This especially rings true when it comes to the character of the Joker, who has another iteration coming out this fall with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie. 

The booze was flowing in this one, but it was a lot of fun to record.
