Flesh or Fantasy: Is It Real or CGI? | SIDEBAR FOREVER

Sidebar Forever ·

2022/10/10

With so many films and TV shows today using digital effects, we thought it would be fun to explore the evolution of CGI from the 1990s to now. We discuss how much Hollywood has come to rely on CGI as a post-production tool, cite better and worse examples of its use, and question whether future generations raised on CGI will even care if something looks “real" or not.

Is A.I. ART? | SIDEBAR FOREVER

Sidebar Forever ·

2022/09/24

The use of A.I. (or artificial intelligence) has become a flashpoint of debate with its adopters and detractor alike. However, it's being used increasingly to produce art in various fields from concept work to comic books. Will A.I. become the wave of the future or perhaps another tool furthering the impersonality of modern art? Time will tell...

Who doesn't love a great superhero name? On the pod, we trace early names back to the 1940s (Miss This and Captain That), discuss the darker, edgier names of the 90s (Spawn, Zealot, Bloodshot, and Venom), and have some fun pointing out how a character's abilities, ethnicity, and certainly gender played a role in what they were called.

The Journey From Comic Book Reader to Comic Book...

Sidebar Forever ·

2022/08/22

We retrace our steps from enthusiastic fans who loved everything about reading and collecting comics, to one day wanting to draw them ourselves. And our appreciation of comic shops, cover burbs, word balloons, and Stan Lee alliteration is fully explored in the conversation. But what was the tipping point from reader to wannabe? How did we find out what an inker did, or what tools the professionals used? And who were the friends (and art heroes) who inspired us along the way?
