FEZCast Monthly Caucus – Live from Phoenix Comicon 2011
From the floor of the 2011 Phoenix Comicon, we bring you the FleshEatingZipper Monthly Caucus Podcast!

We even fit in a viewing (and a scathing review) of The Hangover Part II.
Because that’s how good we are.

Phoenix Comicon: Why Do You Hate Us, William Atherton?
“Here.” Johnny said, handing me a twenty. “Let’s get some pictures with him.” Before a massive Stay-Puft marshmallow man and Ecto-1 from the 1984 smash hit Ghostbusters sit William Atherton, who played the oppressive (and dickless) Walter Peck from that film. Like a starving orphan, I walked up to what looked like his manager with the slightly crumpled currency in hand. “Yes, I’d like two pictures with William Atherton.” I said, saying it to the manager, but looking right at William. He bounced right up, as friendly as could be.

Growing Up TV: Eek! The Cat
Eek! The Cat was slapped on our TV sets courtesy of Nelvana and Fox Children’s Productions. Later in my life I learned Canadian company Nelvana had owned the rights to a popular 80’s show known as the Care Bears. This explains why they had Care Bear spin-offs named “The Squishy Bearz” (I always wondered how they didn’t get sued for that, depicting the furry critters as completely incompetent. [It’s called ‘satire’, covered under fair use. Just FYI. -Ed.] Eek tries his best to help others while falling into hilarious situations, and upon showing pictures of his girlfriend people usually reply how fat she is.

Growing Up TV: Earthworm Jim
Spawning many successful games, Earthworm Jim also had a cartoon series, debuting September 9, 1995. An ordinary earthworm has a super powered suit dropped on him thus turning him into the hero we all know. Watching this show growing up as a kid was awesome, my mother even laughed, and that’s hard to do, making this one of the most memorable cartoons in my childhood.

Day Zero Wrap-Up: A Dessert of Deserts
I really didn’t know what to think going into my first day at a Comic-Con (or Comicon as the Phoenix crew puts it). We knew that this first day was going to be a short day (it ran a weird 6PM to 11:30PM) and there were no major events planned, so, like, what to do…
