Joe Slepski

Fire Fight brings us Barbecue and a nefarious Cobra scheme to steal resources in order to power their Bio Viper facilities! A genuinely great episode of the show.

Welcome back to the show, longtime guy Paul Siddoway! It's been 9 years (!!!!) between appearances and I take full blame. Paul's a great guest host and we loved this episode of Renegades, where Scarlett has to do an old school jailbreak while Duke is in a prison fight club!

I'm back and could not be happier to bring you this week's episode. I sit down with none other than Albert Pine himself, from our Joe on Joe Holiday Special... Derrick LeMont!
You're going to fall in love with Derrick, he's warm, funny and a very talented performer. I was so happy to watch Episode 7 of G.I. Joe Renegades with him... Return of the Arashikage part 2!

He's back! The mastermind behind The After Action Report books returns this week, Josh Eggebeen! We got together before the holidays at the AAR Headquarters and talked a ton of comic books. All types of comic book talk this week and we eventually discussed episode 5 of Renegades... The Package!
Big shout out to Josh for voicing Tiger Force Outback in my Holiday Special and MAYBE he was the voice of a jolly fat man. I'm not confirming nor am I denying this rumor. He did a great job and I hope you enjoyed it!

The GIJOE Holiday Special was produced by Joe Slepski and Ted Jacobson
Written by Joe Slepski
Musical Segments produced by Ted Jacobson
All GIJOE characters are owned by Hasbro and celebrity voices were impersonated. Except Santa Claus. He's very real. This is a loving tribute to our favorite afterschool cartoon, filtered through the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special and an absolute joy to put together due to the incredible talents of our cast.
Derrick LeMont (Alpine) is a super talented actor and delight to work with, based out of Los Angeles. You've seen him on Black Lightning and the TV series Them! Check out his IMDB page and follow him!
Rammel Chan (Quick Kick) is one of my great creative friends, who took time from his busy stage and screen career (Chicago Med, Somebody Somewhere, I Used to Go Here) to lend us his brilliance. Watch his IMDB page for some exciting new ventures!
Joe Goltz (Bazooka) is a longtime creative partner of mine, friend and more importantly, an amazing Trombone player in the Youngblood Brass Band. If you don't know them, educate yourself and thank me later.
Paul Galliano (Firefly) Paul is an actor that always delivers, a major GIJOE friend and more importantly a great friend of mine. One of the nicest, most talented people you'll ever know, give him a follow and a Yo Joe!
Mark Silgalis (Major Bludd) has been a friend of mine since High School! He played Bludd in our Cold Slither episode and absolutely showed up with his performance here! Bulldogs for life!
Phil Morris (Mr. T) Phil Morris is a Hollywood staple. You've seen him on Knight Rider, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Doom Patrol, he was Smallville's Martian Manhunter, and he is Seinfeld's Jackie Chiles! What a gentleman and friend, follow Phil and give him some GIJOE fan love.
Doug Erholtz (Jackie Love) previously our Columbo, brought DIC's very own Jackie Love to life. Doug has voiced dozens of Anime and Video Game characters, from Street Fighter's Vega, Final Fantasy's Squall to the main Care Bear himself, Grumpy Bear. Find him at fan conventions and say hello from Joe on Joe!
Mike Irrizzary (General Hawk) of the What's on Joe Mind Podcast once again returned as General Hawk and he's so good, we need to lobby Hasbro to cast him officially. Mike is a great friend and podcaster and you need to listen to What's on Joe Mind every week! Plug the show!
Josh Eggebeen (Tiger Force Outback) Josh runs the After Action Report books and you won't find a more comprehensive look at the comic books of GIJOE than the AAR Books. Check them out!
Colton Adams (Tollbooth) is a young actor making a big splash on stage and screen, as his growing IMDB page can attest to. He's such a bright light and I am insanely proud to see him following his dreams.
John Pearson (Shipwreck) doesn't realize I'm going to be writing Shipwreck stories where he and Polly get into wacky adventures and Shipwreck learns life lessons. This talent is now in the fold!
Josh D. King (Dee-Jay) is a multi-hyphenate talent. Not only is he a musical force, with songs on Spotify and Apple music, but has a new clothing brand, Incklined and a wonderfully successful children's book, I'm a Brilliant Little Black Boy. I was so happy he could join us, as I've been friends with his incredible father for many years now. Talent doesn't fall far from the tree!
Our Satin and Weird Al musical segments were written and produced by Ted Jacobson! Wonderful writing brought to life by the vocal stylings of Chiquita Bakana as Satin, and the trio of Rocky Sams, Dimitry Karev & Micko D performing the Weird Al Polka Tribute. Ted has put together complete music videos to go with them on his BarkingFridge YouTube channel. Follow him and subscribe!
Matt Plassman (Mainframe) is still tracking Santa, from writers rooms across Hollywood. An incredibly talented writer and continues to bring Mainframe to delightfully nerdy life. Monkees for life.
Kevin Brennan (Wild Bill) Everything is bigger in Texas, but nothing bigger than the heart on Writer, Actor and Producer Kevin Brennan. Look for his hilarious movie, It's a Disaster on streamers everywhere.
Chrisi Talyn Saje and Jeremy Saje (Cobra Newscasters) Chrisi is the force behind an amazing radio drama podcast, Madison On The Air. With Jeremy as producer, Madison travels through real life vintage radio dramas, bringing modern ridiculousness to vintage episodes. Give that show a listen and follow, they're wonderful friends.
Lizzie Czerner (Mary Lou Retton) is just talent through and through. You've heard her before on our My Special Missions episode and she played Satin in our Cold Slither Behind the Rock. This time she brought the effervescent and iconic Mary Lou Retton to pre-recorded life. Brilliant!
Rebekah Walendzak Slepski (Cover Girl) Toilet'eel herself brought our favorite Wolverine driver to life. Rebekah is as talented as she is lovely, sharp witted and the kindest sketch comedy instructor/union organizer/actress/writer/director you'll ever meet. None of this would happen without her, so blame her.
And as always, I thank you listeners for your years of support, as we head into our 10th year of doing Joe on Joe! I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.
And now you Joe, and Joeing is half the battle.

I'm both excited and ashamed for this episode! I welcome back one of my favorite guests, fellow podcaster and a great guy to chat with, Ryan Kulik! That's the excitement!
The shame is I screwed up the audio, so the watchalong part is a little... rough. I apologize for the audo assault, the content was great and I truly didn't want to lose the conversation, so here it is, warts and all.
Ryan, I promise I'll do better when we get you back on for another Renegades episode!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm thankful for a forgiving audience!

Stop what you're doing and go read this issue! It is imperative that you read this issue again because it is absolutely one of the best G.I. Joe stories ever told and I'm so happy to be revisiting it!
Herb Trimpe's artwork is working next level and Larry Hama's story is an absolute merciless beast of a fable. It really plays out like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
I'm talking about Special Missions #5 on this week's program and I could not be happier about it!

One of my earliest owned comic books in my collection, Special Missions #4 is the topic this week for Joe on Joe Illustrated!
There's something about an upside down Lifeline that tugs at my heart. Also, I must have tugged on the spine of my copy because it is raggedy!
Great issue with some tremendous Herb Trimpe artwork!
Plus, I put a call out to any G.I. Joe Renegade fans! Listen in!

I have an extremely special episode for you this week, in tribute to one of the stars of our G.I. Columbo special, Shirley Feeney.

Rest in Power.

I'm not going to lie to you. This is one of the worst mainstream comics I've ever looked at, and absolutely the worst G.I. Joe comic book I've ever read.
This cost $2.50 in 1989 and 34 years later, I'm still offended.
Listen in this week to learn why!

We discuss that cover, which you can pre-order here, and specifically reveal a secret lurking on the cover, hiding in plain sight! Tune in to learn what that is!
There's an extended conversation about the state of comic books as an industry, one that makes this oldhead feel even older, but we have a lively discussion!

An adventure in the Sahara Desert for our 1988 G.I. Joe lineup awaits, with some dodgy storytelling, I have to say... I'm looking at you R. L. Stine.
And I was thinking of Steve McNair! Check out his documentary it's great!
I'll be our fantastic Sponsors, The Movies and a Meal Podcast, covered the Goosebumps movie. I liked that one myself, thought it was pretty well done! Give them a listen and find out what scary movies they're covering this Halloween season!
It's the Summer of 1988 and you're reading the G.I. Joe Magazine! Were you expecting the Joes to basically sign Voltar's death warrant in space? No you were not. And now in 2024, neither was I!
The Summer of 2024 is over and we're heading into awards season at the movies, so make sure you give The Movies and a Meal Podcast a good listen, to see how much they loved or hated Joker 2!
It's Spring of 1988, you jumped off your Huffy and ran inside to see G.I. Joe The Magazine waiting for you on the counter! Even better... It has an interview with Alf!

Fast Draw, Psyche Out, Gung Ho, Falcon, & Jinx have to save a group of tourists from Crystal Ball's mind control on the streets of Paris!
I'll bet The Movies and a Meal Podcast have covered many movies that involve Parisian Mind Control. It's an overlooked, and underappreciated genre of film.
Also overlooked, but never undarappreciated, our guy Dan Beals! Remember we're moving his comic book collection to fund his journey as a Judge in the Austin Film Festival! Make sure you check out our "Get Dan to AFF" collection and share #GetDanToAFF on social media for your chance to win one of the G.I. Joe Digipacks from 3DJoes!
It's a Joe on Joe Flashback as we revisit our podcast covering the DIC episode, An Officer and a Viperman! Why are we flashing back? Because my guest, filmmaker Dan Beals @Bealsebub is in the process of following his dream!
His dream involves being a Judge at the Austin Film Festival! To make that happen, Dan has decided to sell his massive collection of comic books! Books that were cared for in only the way a true comic lover would, immaculately!
So, I'm helping Dan move these books via my store on eBay. Please take a moment to check out my auctions, you'll see I have dozens of trade paperbacks for bid, Marvel, DC, and Independents!
Proceeds from these auctions are going to GET DAN BEALS TO AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL!
But wait, there's more! Go to Dan's Instagram page @Bealsebub and give him a follow, and comment on his post about the auction. Use tags #GetDanToAFF and #JoeonJoe in the comments on his or my posts, and in a couple weeks, when the auctions are all complete, a randomly chosen winner will receive an Art of G.I. Joe DIGIPACK from the Joe on Joe Podcast!
If you're not on social media, you can also send me an email to joeonjoepod@gmail.com and I'll enter you in the contest as well! We want to spread the word about Dan's auctions, and raise him enough money to GET DAN BEALS TO AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL!
Enjoy the show!
Summertime means hitting the beaches of Miami! No, it's not to help Crockett stop the drug trade, it's to stop Cobra from blowing up some boats! Join me on a deep dive into the G.I. Joe Magazine from Summer 1987!
Here's a link to the action!
I'd wager the gang at the Movies and a Meal Podcast reviewed the Miami Vice movie. If they didn't, consider this an assignment.
I continue my deep dive into the G.I. Joe Magazine with the Spring 1987 issue! We learn a little about Mike Schmidt, Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic, and most importantly... Cobra's plot to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge!
I know Movies and a Meal Podcast has covered films where the Golden Gate was destroyed or attacked. I know this, because it happens in every 3rd disaster movie ever made. It's the law. Give them a listen to find out!
You can follow along at the 3DJoes website here!
Jump forward 2 years and let's revisit the Magazine world, this time for the Winter 1987 issue!
A fun prose story awaits us inside, which, in my opinion, is the true origin of both Headman and the DEF. You be the judge!
The Movies and A Meal Podcast are the judges of all the great movies! Give them a listen and tell them Joe on Joe sent you!
I'm back from San Diego Comic Con and back from San Diego COVID Con!

Another Zartan this week! This time, in full pose as an Olympic Speed Skater!

But I'm going to tell my kids he was a Speed Skater.
