We are back! And we are joined by John Pollock of Post Wrestling and Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics for a wide-ranging discussion. We cover WWE's trip to Saudi Arabia, and the financial reliance of TKO on the Saudi shows, as well as the impact on talent and the TKO exploitation of non-union workers. From there we move onto a discussion of the challenges specific to wrestling journalism in an age where promotions now have financial interests in media outlets. We also cover the ethical and potential legal challenges in current day journalism, plus the impact of aggregation and tribalism on how news stories are broken and widely talked about. Finally, we discuss changes in wrestler development, the impact on independent promotions and the leverage of the biggest stars in the age of two major promotions.

Episode 120 is here pals! We're finally back for some Match of the Week goodness! We're now up to MOTW 133 & 134 & I am very pleased to be chatting all about them with dear pal of the show, Joe! Firstly, we've got a wonderfully wild & woolly bout between Lucha legends, LA Park & Blue Demon Jr from 2016 in Gimnasio Benito Juarez, followed by the big CM Punk vs Roman Reigns World Title main event of this years' Wrestlemania in Vegas. A very enjoyable chat is had all about these matches, the wonderful wild world of indie-lucha, much more WWE discussions than I might have expected and also, much more film critic discussions than you might expect from this show! Most notably Digger and Carlito's Way - both of which I got to catch in the cinema recently. ...Are we a movie podcast now? Either way, I enjoyed myself. Thanks a bunch Joe! In our intro monologue I chat what's next after 'The Joy of Lucha', commission work, new Chris Things 2027 Calendars & some extensive yammering about the latest developments in historical Bigfoot footage analysis! Quite the varied show! Enjoy!! Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustrations in question here:  MOTW 133: L.A. Park vs. Blue Demon Jr.  MOTW 134: C.M.

Episode 119 is here pals! Now that'The Joy of Lucha Libre with Chris Things' is done & dusted, I thought I'd do a special little post-show debrief solo-edition of the show to yammer on about it for a bit. In my stream-of-consciousness one-sided ramble chat I pull the curtain back a little bit to talk about my feelings leading up to & coming out of the big exhibition. I'm talking my worries, my challenges, the unforeseen bits & pieces, the journey in creating my own latest collection of work for the show, the group-show element, putting together a 'gallery-wrestling-match' & just all of the things. I also chat a super fun & rewarding Brisbane Illustration Fair from this past weekend. Hope some folks find this stuff interesting. Either way, felt kind of nice to talk about it all just for my own sanity's sake. Thank you again so very much to all of the talented artists from all around the world who were a part of this, to our wrestlers; Cockroach of Wacols Most Wanted & 'El Tigre' AKA Velkan Wild, to Lucha Fantastica, to Aaron Craig & Superwow Gallery & to our sponsors. And of course to everyone who came along & who supported my through this big-time bucket list item of my art life. Enjoy!!
