Long Form History of Wrestling - March 1986 - Harley Race Confronts Hulk Hogan: Today we pick back up the Long Form History of Pro Wrestling Series taken from my upcoming book (next month!) DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus. Pro wrestling in America is building toward three big shows- WWF WrestleMania 2, the first NWA Jim Crockett, Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament, and AWA Wrestle Rock '86. One pro wrestler takes great exception to the WWF incursion into his town when Central States co-owner Harley Race wrestles on one side of town and then drives to the other to confront Hulk Hogan... possibly with a gun!

1000 Hours Podcast - Pro Wrestling's First Business Slump was in 1886: Join me as I dive back into the pioneer era of pro wrestling. This episode is taken from the pages of my latest book DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus available from Amazon. We are now up to 1886 in the book and pro wrestling is in its first business slump. William Muldoon claims that wrestlers are now making less than six percent of the money they made just a few years ago. Meanwhile, Evan 'Strangler' Lewis looks to turn things around as he continues to dominate and Jack Carkeek continues to rise as well! Plus, the World Catch champion is getting tired of being ignored!

Film Review: Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up (2024) - Feature Article
Official synopsis: From Warner Bros. Animation, director Pete Browngardt, and the creative team behind the award-winning Looney Tunes Cartoons, Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up stars Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when facing the threat of alien invasion. The movie unfolds a rich Porky & Daffy story that fans have never seen before: In this buddy-comedy of epic proportions, our heroes race to save the world, delivering all the laugh-out-loud gags and vibrant visuals that have made the Looney Tunes so iconic, but on a scope and scale yet to be experienced.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Podcast Review: It's Friday the 13th once again and you know what that means! It means Karl and Tonya have to sit through an increasingly terrible watch through of all the Friday the 13th Movies and we are, unfortunately up to part 8 which is the worst of the bunch so far where Jason, presumably, takes Manhattan... except he really didn't. It does, however, feature the worst character in the history of the series MEAN UNCLE GUY! I understand it only gets worse from here but join us aboard this very sketchy (air quotes) Cruise Ship (end air quotes) and let's visit one the franchises biggest flops! Warning... there is yet ANOTHER Friday the 13th next month! Free
DC Comics Presents Issue 1 (1978) Superman and The Flash Review: As part of our First! series, I give you this 1978 comic book I bought off the spinner rack at the local grocery store. DC Comics Presents was a great team up series which paired Superman (and others) with various partners to fight crime and save earth. Issue 1 pairs Superman with The Flash and we get another race, of sorts, between the two. This one has all the comic book nonsense that made comics both fun and confusing: space aliens and time travel. Plus, a surprise villain shows up at the end to mess everything up! Patreon Only.
DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Podcast - 1987 NWA Crockett Cup's Most Bizarre Match!: I have a really fun pro wrestling history show for you today. As I continue work on my upcoming book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, I have been watching tons of pro wrestling from that era. Recently, I decided to watch the entire uncut 1987 NWA Jim Crockett, Sr. Memorial tag team Cup tournament. The tournament itself was packed with deep cuts and weird tag teams that make very little sense but most astounding of them all was the otherwise unremarkable four-man combination of Steve Keirn, George South, Nelson Royal, and Mike Graham. If that sound boring to you... well, it was not! Free Version / Patreon Version
