Sidekickcast Presents...From Panel to Screen @ Thought Bubble 2010

This week we have a talk recorded live at Thought Bubble 2010 called From Panel to Film hosted by Impact Magazine’s John Mosby with John Romita Jr, Glyn Dillon, Adam Brockbank, Andy Diggle and Richard Starkings. Obviously it’s not one of our Sidekickcast panels but I enjoyed it so much I thought I’d let those that either couldn’t make it to the festival or were too busy pimping out their own books during the festival (you know who you are) a chance to hear it. Sometimes the sound is a little dodgy but for the most part it’s an interesting and revealing look into the process of going from the comic book page to the silver screen. Enjoy.

Sidekickcast Episode #49 - It's all Math!

Recorded before the Sidekicks on Tour hit London for the MCM Expo, regular Sidekickcast hosts Dan and Gavin kick back with a couple of beers and some whiskey chasers for an unhinged episode. To start the show we hit Dark Knight Rises moving swiftly on to the questionable 3-D sound(?), Mark Millar's London Comic Con and finishing with some comic book crack dealing.
For review in Stack Attack this week Tron: The Betrayal #1, Knight and Squire #1, New Avengers #5, Superior #1, Uncanny X-Force #1 and Shadowland #4.
Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz with a twist is getting close, can Gavin fend off another attack from the man they call Marshall? DMZ is this week's Dig This! choice courtesy of one of our favourite Sidekicks, Triv. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for the usual brand of cock-ups and out-takes.
