Gordcast (podcasts)
Now in it's XXth? year, Gordie Adams' Gordcast covers music, comic books, movies, television, memories, nostalgia, current events and whatever else comes up in conversations with friends and sometimes in an informal interview with someone Gordie wants to know more about. Fellow aficionado Paul Bertolino joined as co-host of the Gordcast for the majority of episodes and along the way, Gordie welcomed a roster of special guests. After a hiatus he is back and invites you to hang out with the Gordcast for entertaining conversation and good company. Join us and have fun! Bonus episodes of The Gordcast Shuffle (wherein Gordie and Paul each gave three random spins to their vast music collections and talk in wonderful detail about the songs that show-up) are included in the same feed.

GORDIE is joined bt his long time friend since grammar school, MARTIN HVEEM!

We break down how we met all those years ago in NAPA and learn new details along the way. Early sports connections, finding skateboarding, comic books, baseball cards, church, moving around, rules, learning what not to do by watching others, our mutal influences from role models, music, girlfriends and MARTIN tells about his journey to becoming a well-renowned auto restorer.   And everything else inbetween.

This one is quite long, but there's a PAUSE BUTTON for a reason.

STEPHEN BREIT returns to THE GORDCAST and we begin with the old podcast trope of “weather talk”and work into STEPHEN catching GORDIE up about his 2023 Live show experiences. 

 

The talk is mostly music based so strap in for a music nerd-fest, but true to BREIT  episodes, there’s Chicago talk, t-shirt talk and a cliffhanger.

Will Pfeifer returns to the Gordcast to talk about all things December and some of the holidays that surround us. 

The music we grew up with, the music we found later, the films that we discovered as movie nerds, the storires yet to tell and so much more.

The eternal debate of what makes a christmas movie, ESQUIVEL, PSYCHO, THE APARTMENT, REDD KROSS, SPARKS, and of course STERLING HOLLOWAY.

...maybe the first episode ever that KISS is never spoken of.

Zack is back from the mutant graveyard to talk withe Gordie in another October episode.

We're all over the place but mostly talk Halloween, defining schlock, B-movies, THE MARX BROTHERS, old comic book smell (...again) watching movies with the family, quoting movies and how to do it right, trick or treat rules, Halloween traditions and Gordie reveals his final costume at the USPS. We finish with an open invitation to one Chris Neseman.

As promised, WILL PFIEFER joins GORDIE and they pick up where they most likely left off back in 2012. WILL tells of how he discovered music, comics, movies and all things while growing up in a small town, gets to have his own radio show, writes comics for DC and his mom turned the television off when DEVO came on. GORDIE repeats stories he's told before, loves EVELYN TOGAR more than THE VELVET UNDERGROUND and since he shares a brain with WILL alot of the time, this episode goes on for awhile. Stay tuned for more episodes in the future.

GORDIE finally welcomes ZACK KRUSE to The Gordcast. 15 years seperate our heroes, but that makes no difference in a lively and educational conversation.

ZACK hosts a radio show, snags his mom's copy of IT, peeks at ROBO-COP through a hallway, becomes a leading authority on STEVE DITKO and wasn't that scared of monsters. GORDIE was scared of KING KONG when it was shown at a church, borrowed a projector from the library, went to an Olive Garden once and imagines Nudy suits while listening to THE MUTANT GRAVEYARD.

LOTS of monster kid conversation and nerdy music/music talk and a very healthy dose of MST 3K.

PETER "BULLDOG" DRUMMOND is back to talk mostly about The Book Of Boba Fett on Disney+. This episode is the least evergreen for sure. After talking MEN WITHOUT HATS and pogoing to ROB ZOMBIE, we settle in for a long and spoilerific conversation about STAR WARS and BOBA. We try to define, fan service, canon, head canon, what makes us happy, what makes us dissapointed, homages and we don't get in a virtual fist-fight. ...pretty nerdy episode
