GAR! 162: Klingon Rick Roll and Stretch Armstrong Goo


Download the MP3 here!

This week’s episode of The GAR! Podcast is the third of five recorded live at the 2017 Camden Comic Con. First Glenn and Make Mine Magic’s Jennifer Walker chat with DJ Kiltboy (Eric Carter) of Shadowland Lancaster about music, Florida, Tower Records, the art of DJ-ing, and the Klingon Rick Roll. Then Ray and Glenn are joined by friends of the show Jeff Milliman and Jessy Lukens to discuss Star Wars, cosplay, GI Joe, the panel later in the day, energy drinks, Stretch Armstrong, SpongeBob SquarePants, Planetary Batman, three-legged kaiju, and Gen Urobuchi, and interview Ray Lopez as Cobra Commander.

The GAR! Podcast is the Glenn Walker and Ray Cornwall weekly podcast where they talk unrehearsed about whatever happens to come to mind. It’s an audio-zine for your mind, a nerd exploration of a nerd world, coming to you from the suburbs of New Jersey and the sunny lakes of Florida via Skype.
