Leftcoastlove 2020: Recent Episodes
Sean Wheatley
Telling stories and spreading joy. Tall tales from a transplanted New Yorker who became Californian and lived happily forever after. Husband, father, son, brother, friend and veteran. I share my love for comic books, music, movies and tv or "Pop's culture". This is the stuff that fills my cup served with a Leftcoast twist.
My first guest who isn't related me! Uncle Matt from Uncle Matt's Stash joins me to talk comics and the Whatnot platform. It's a whole new way to buy and sell comics (and other collectibles) online.
Parker and I go over the highlights and photos from our recent trip to Albany NY. Everything from airport security to David Bowie M&M's, it's a trip for sure.
We're back! We moved, we saw stuff, we did stuff, and we got a little older. Now we are ready to share some new stories and laughs. Thanks for waiting :)
This week Parker and I discuss the upcoming The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series. Then we pay tribute to places we've lost over the past few years, places we really miss. Finally we get a little dark and share the places that still exist in the world but are dead to our hearts and wallets.
Around the world in 41 minutes. This episode Parker and I discuss the old days of travelling. We count down our top 5 favorites places and share the reasons why. We also wrap up WandaVision and get ready for Falcon and Winter Soldier. March into March with us.
Parker and I swap fast food stories. We have lots of recent experiences given the lock downs. WandaVision update is thrown in plus we explore the term "yeet". A jam packed 30 minutes you'll never get back.
More fun with fives, this week Parker and I share our top five cartoons and top five live action television shows. Our WandaVision update is up front and on point. Join us for a fast 40 minutes of fun, laughs, and a few groans.
Parker Jane joins me this episode to share thoughts on meeting Stan Lee, watching WandaVision, and our Top 5 Disney + streaming movies. It's nice to have another voice to share and of course there are some funny moments that could happen when you give your kid the open mic.
It's the Big Big Holiday show! We start in the garage and end in the music room. Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years and all the stuff in between, I break down the new ways to engage in a socially distant world.
Took a week off to let all things settle and enjoy some small pleasures. This week's topics include sweeping the social media porch, virtual concerts, chalking the street, back to COVID rules, and finally, crowbar comments. It's a short ride, won't you join me?
Halloween is in the books for 2020, this week I'll break down the low down from our little piece of California. Then a chunk of reviews; Money Heist, Batman Joker War, Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Green Goblin, then we land with Us + Them. I'll leave you with some final thoughts before the big day and what it means to be on the edge. Of what? We don't know, yet.
This week we shake off the dust from John Wick Day then take a re-look at the 1978 film The Deer Hunter. Last but not least I comment on the new trend of the Super Deluxe collections. It's getting chilly but hopefully I can warm you up some with good cheer.
Sign sign everywhere a sign. Tonight's topics include the new Tom Petty release and Rolling Stone Beer. Then some thoughts on reading signs and civil discourse. Finally we look at The Flaming Lips new way to concert and their awesomely weird new record. I will also talk about the ballot box controversy in California and haircut protocols for my head. Don't forget John Wick Day is next week.
Time to get into some time related topics and stories. It's almost time for John Wick Day later this month. Althea keeps time standing still as she turns 102 this week. Music can't escape time yet it remains timeless. Finally we investigate what is real now and what was real then. It's heady stuff but I'll try to break it all down in the short time we have this week.
This week has been weird so let's get weird. I spent the week building my Dad Lab and I have a new take on some children's tales. Then it's "Get off my lawn" time, Tic Tacs and other things that should be left alone. Parker and I hit the road to visit the horse that will never be ridden and Jackson got a haircut.
This week I review Enola Holmes from Netflix. Then we hit a mish mash of topics and updates including Halloween prep, Hot Wheels, Spider-Man, Soprano's, Doctor time, the Payphone saga, and finally land on Record Store Day(s) 2020 2 of 3. I hope you find something interesting in this mess from my desk.
This week we talk Root Boy Slim and the kindness of cousins then we hit the way back machine and travel to 1999 NJ. It's all about connections and keeping the flow going.
This week we visit Mars and DC Fandom is back with more while DC comics moves forward with less. Let's also talk a little sports over some Dunkin coffee. We wrap the week with Flex Seal fun and the joys of UNO.
It's Labor Day so let's work out a few things. This week we look at Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko from a fan and collector perspective. Meaning let the work speak for itself. I also want to provide an update on the payphone I bought from ebay and the rabbit hole that followed. Finally let's talk about driving and my upcoming spotlight on Flex Seal and that fan community.
Dark skies make an already awful situation worse so I teach the opposite. Be nicer. In comics the Joker is running amok and it is so good. I ponder the line between office and lair since the work from home model is continuing at least through the year. Finally we look at the state of drinking and recovering in the new new.
too much, Magic Bus. We have plenty of interesting stops this week. DC Fandome, Payphones, Back to School, Black Crowes, Comics, Military Tradition, Modern Media and My Library. Exact change is appreciated and please stand behind the yellow line at all times.
This week I talk about dreams and recognizing when you achieve them. I also spend some time talking about how anti-social social media has become. Finally a few words on legacy, what are you leaving behind?
Collecting has been a part of my whole life. What and how I collect have changed over time.
