I've been in the punk scene over 30 years, doing a comic strip and comic book series, Frozen Dead, since 1999. I'm also heavily involved in independent film lately. And along the way, I got to meet this awesome gentleman, Rick Collins, who we'll bring on next. And I'll let you tell him hello, and he can tell you a little bit about himself.
00:03:25
Speaker
How you doing? Hey, guys. Hey, guys, how are you? Fantastic. It's good to see you. So, yeah, thanks for having me on the show. My name is Rick Collins. I've been an actor and a lawyer for just about 30, 40 years, something crazy like that. I appeared in a bunch of the trauma movies back in the eighty s some in the 90s, some even a little bit more recently than that. I was the villain in the original Toxic Avenger 2 and 3 sequels. um I think I'm one of only two actors to have appeared in all all of the Troma Toxic Avenger movies. 2 and 3 were recently recut into a new movie called Mr. Melvin, which I just did the audio commentary for for the UK version.
00:04:15
Speaker
I've had ah a wonderful career. i I had a little walk on in my favorite television show of all time, The Sopranos. um Besides the acting stuff, I've done in film, I've done some stage work in Manhattan and elsewhere. I'm also a practicing lawyer. I've been doing that for a long time. um I've been a skydiver. been a bodybuilder. I've been a lot of sort of fun, off offbeat sort of stuff. And this will be fun. Let's let's talk shit.
00:04:48
Speaker
Let's do it. Let's do it. Who do you want to talk shit about first? No, I'm just kidding. We don't have to do that. Oh, my God. Ryan spit Lawyer?
00:04:59
Speaker
Laura, your lawyer ring, lawyer ring, right? is that Yeah, there you go. You make it. You can make a verbal. That's the word I was looking for. There you go. ah How did you find yourself basically getting into that? Man, I got to know, like, you like you wake up one day and go, I think I'm gonna be a lawyer.
00:05:17
Speaker
So I wasn't really sure what I was going to do when I was in college. I didn't have enough hard science credits to go to chiropractic school or medical school. So lawyer is sort of, you know, it's either either a doctor or a lawyer if you want to go on to a professional career. So I chose a lawyer. I was lucky. i was blessed enough to get a full academic scholarship. to to law school. So I didn't have the the loans. I was not a rich kid. So, you know, for me, that was that was a huge factor that enabled me to do it. I worked my way through school, through college. I was a a personal trainer. I was a nightclub bouncer. I was a nursing home orderly. So, um so I've, you know, I've competed in bodybuilding through that period of time as well. um I started my career as a prosecutor, you know, putting the bad guys in jail and did that for five years. And then I went into...
00:06:12
Speaker
criminal defense and other types of litigation i've been doing that for a long time i've taken some time off here and there to do some acting stuff um i think i'm at a point where i may do some more um i did a small role in a movie last year which will be released i think this summer called stray hunter the okami verse chronicles And so, yeah, so I'm excited. I have a few other projects perhaps coming up. I've been doing a little bit of the convention circuit.
Experiences with Troma Films
00:06:46
Speaker
It's been awesome um based on my Troma stuff and and some of the new stuff that's coming out.
00:06:53
Speaker
Guys, let's talk about a little bit about Troma. Let's talk a little bit about it. I got to get this camera fucking fixed, guys. It's driving me crazy. I don't know.
00:07:05
Speaker
um Well, you know, I go back to to, well, close to the beginning of Trauma to the early, know, to mid-1980s with the original Toxic Avenger. i had a small little role, you know part in that. And then I caught got called back for Class of Newcomb High, which was the next movie that...
00:07:26
Speaker
Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, the directors and guys who who founded Troma, did. Then I came back for something called Troma's War. Then I came back for something called Kabuki Man NYPD. Then I came back for Toxic Avenger 2 and 3.
00:07:45
Speaker
I actually believe it. I played the villain, a character called the chairman who reveals myself to be the devil. um also So it's it's a great, you know, there's nothing better than playing a villain in on film. You know, ah you you really can can have a blast. Not many people know, but I actually read for, i auditioned. for the role of Toxic Avenger in Toxic 2 and 3, but I was too short. I'm five ten and and the guy who got the role, Ron Fazio, is more like 6'2". But I have no regrets because it worked out. I got a ah face role instead of a um a mask role. I really got both because I become the the devil, and at that point, I become sort of a masked creature. But until then, I'm i'm basically a guy in a suit, so for me, it was a dream role.
00:08:35
Speaker
very cool. Johnny, moving um right over to you, brother. you Punk rock, dude. Let's talk a little bit about punk rock, man. Well, it doesn't get much more punk rock than Choma when it comes to independent film. I mean,
00:08:47
Speaker
I mean, i've I've been a Newcomb High fan my whole life as well, and I recently got to be a Cretan for the first time in my life. ah I have two songs in the upcoming Poetry Guys 2 and a small cameo in that.
00:08:59
Speaker
Plus, about a year and a half ago, i' one of my buddies who runs the East Coast Convention, Frankie, invited me to set their power of positive murder. So if you find the trailer, which was hidden in their April Fool's Day gag, I'm in the trailer behind Lloyd Kaufman in the Power Positive Murder trailer. And that one's going be cool because that's black and white and noir.
00:09:19
Speaker
We went back a second day, me and my friend Sidney, who's with me in a clip for The Poltergeist 2 as my twin sister. We're necrosis and militia, even though it's not credited like in in like any vocal thing.
00:09:33
Speaker
But ah we had went back for for another day of that power positive murder for a bunch of stuff that ended up getting, i think it was being saved for something else. that's kind of neat. And now I found out we're also in an upcoming trauma documentary that we shot at Tromathon last year. My wife, me, a bunch of our our trauma adjacent friends and family were in there.
00:09:51
Speaker
It's just, it's more like a bunch of friends in the and family playing games together. I mean, I've always just called myself trauma adjacent, but I guess it's kind of official if I'm in something now. so that's beautiful. Welcome to the club. Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:05
Speaker
and And I want to say thank you, whether he sees it or not, to a mutual friend and colleague, Brian Northrup, because he's what kind of got you pulled back in a little bit for the Toxic Avenger reunions with Lisa Gay and everybody, Ron.
00:10:16
Speaker
And he also produced another movie that I did a one-day scenes for Bill Whedon's upcoming R-Man Funk So Brian produced that and and then Brian is supposed to have something in our movie as well.
00:10:31
Speaker
it's funny. We're all like interconnected with people that live all over the country and it's all for the love of this 50 plus year company. Right. and And that's beautiful. We don't do it for fame or we don't do it to get rich. We do it because we care. And and that's what helps Lloyd just discover new people and and bring people up.
00:10:49
Speaker
A close friend of mine, I never thought in a million years I'd have as the star of Curse of the Ghostwriter, Amanda Flowers was in Shakespeare's Shitstorm. And she's our our muse entity for this movie. I mean, there's so much trova in a non-trauma movie. It's beautiful. Lisa DeGay plays my mom in ah in this movie, you know? We're blessed that to have Rick. And then we have Rick Howard, who's one of the creatines from the original Newcomb High doing a commercial within the film. Like it's Lloyd has a cameo and it's a mid credit scene, but he's there. he let us film in the basement of Troma.
00:11:22
Speaker
Again, we're not a Troma movie. nothing Nothing against whether we are or not, but he let us film in the basement. And he does that for several independent filmmakers. He's very, very blessing or, um,
00:11:34
Speaker
very generous with encouraging the next generation of independent film. There's a lot of independent filmmakers out there. Is there anybody that stands out to you as, I don't know, I wouldn't say competition, but somebody that you're like, oh man, that guy or that lady, that they got something
The Independent Film Community
00:11:51
Speaker
going on. I really dig what they're doing. Is there anybody- what lot of them are doing, but I don't see any of it as competition. there's There's enough pie for everybody. We rise together. you know We're just playing in sandboxes.
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, that's right. what What about fan films? Any any favorite fan films that you're that you guys like? Anything you want to shout out? I can say the one that I'm filming next month before I do more Curts of the Ghost Rider.
00:12:16
Speaker
I've been growing these out since my last role and since Survive the End I did a couple weeks ago. But me and my friends across the country, we're doing a Wolverine fan film. So yeah, my my hair naturally does that up top.
00:12:30
Speaker
And I can do the 80s voice, Bob. So we're going to have a lot of fun with that. And then as soon as it's done, I got to shave because people coming in from out of state are there for Curse of the Ghost Rider as well. And two of them, there's special effects on power positive murder.
00:12:45
Speaker
Wow. Wow. And if there are trauma fans out there, Johnny, you know that the the character that i that I played in the the little cameo in um Killer Cox and and Curse of the Ghost Rider is named for a a trauma character, which I think real diehard trauma fans will get that little Easter egg.
00:13:12
Speaker
And that was awesome. He came up with that on his own. I was like, blessed that he wanted to do this anyways. But I was like, let's make it fun. You can name your own character if you want. And he did. He went out, he bought his own microphone. He plays a newscaster, and he nailed it.
00:13:25
Speaker
Sent me a couple of different takes, and it's beautiful. And then yeah I did show you it when I edited it together with Scott Doss, the man playing our detective, and with James Carnes, the creator of Killer Cox.
00:13:36
Speaker
Funny. and I don't want to spoil it, but it's very fun. Curse of the Ghost Rider will be basically, it takes place before Killer Cox, but again, it's it's beautiful how we interwove it. there Because again, there's no competition. We're friends making art together.
00:13:52
Speaker
um Where will it release? Will it release on YouTube? Are you going to release it? I'm not doing anything until after physical media because i want everybody to be able to actually see it and and and hold it in their hands because everybody works so hard. And and I want to also give everybody a thank you and a shout out. Every single person that's worked on this did this for free. We did not crowdfund.
00:14:14
Speaker
We did it all out of our own pockets. We all did it for the love of the story and for the love of each other. So we want to have something physical before it just gets lost in the massive streaming. And now with pricing going up on everything, man, even if you wanted to pay somebody, it's like, ah do I pay an actor or do I put gas in the car?
00:14:36
Speaker
That's where we're at right now. Like, it's like, holy shit, dude. i don't know where you guys are paying for gas. But I pulled up to the pump this morning at 465. I was like, are you fucking serious right now, dude? It's no joke. Yeah.
00:14:48
Speaker
Yeah. Well, things will get better, I hope, soon. Right here, guys. Johnny is multi-talented, acting, music, comics, a lot of creative work.
00:15:00
Speaker
So many cool sounding projects coming up for both of you. um What would you guys like to do if you could do another... type of fan film or the type of recreate a re a recreate of any, any kind of horror genre.
00:15:19
Speaker
What, what, what do you guys think you guys would attack? um i yeah i had the I was asked to participate in a um a film that was going to be shot in Norway, and it was a supernatural Viking movie.
00:15:34
Speaker
um That sounds like it's something that I should have been involved with. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right for me to to to fly out there and shoot it. but But yeah, I love offbeat movies. I love apocalyptic movies. I love post-apocalyptic movies.
00:15:51
Speaker
train to busan is one of my favorite zombie movies i just watched cold storage the other night um i'd never seen that before um so i love that whole genre um um so yeah i i'd love to do some action oriented horror movies some some uh some dawn of the bed some what is it 28 was it 28 days later 28 days, 28 weeks, 28 years now. So yeah, it's stretching it out. But but yeah, for sure. I dig those types of films, man. um you know
00:16:32
Speaker
That kind of directorship and stuff like that, i just I feel like it just absolutely gets the attention of...
Hollywood vs. Independent Filmmaking
00:16:40
Speaker
you know when that When that film launched, I don't think it was supposed to be anything major.
00:16:44
Speaker
And I think it just kind of blew up and people are like, holy shit, dude, this movie's fucking a badass. You know, and it was, you know, it was same thing with like Toxic Avenger. It was the same thing with like, um um what's your but favorite clown movie, Mark?
00:17:00
Speaker
Which one? Art the Clown. Oh, Terrifier? Terrifier. Yeah, like crazy. Out out of out of fucking left field, man. That shit's blowing up. Because it's easier to do independent run films than it is to do Something that it has corporations are sticking their hands all into it.
00:17:23
Speaker
Well, wasn't there something to do with the Friday the 13th franchise or something, Mark? and but That's a whole different thing. That was and another you know two people suing each other. That's a reason why it it stuck in limbo for the longest time.
00:17:37
Speaker
You know, you listen to any of these stories about how the Hollywood suits interfere with what the director's vision for a movie is. I was watching a documentary on on the making of the John Wick movies and how they insisted the you know the studio did not want the dog to die. in the original movie.
00:17:58
Speaker
And um the director was like, but but that's that's the catalyst. That's the motivation for why the character goes on this you know hunt for revenge. No, no, you can't kill a dog on film. And they stuck it out. It was ah it was a big fight. But ultimately, the the director won. And of course, those movies are absolutely awesome. And it it was the right choice.
00:18:25
Speaker
Yeah. Question for Rick, will you be going to Northeast Comic Con in the near future? So I'm hopeful. I have a an agent who's been sending me out. She's absolutely awesome.
00:18:40
Speaker
And she's been sending me out to to a few different, and i was recently in in Alabama, um um a a few other places. So yeah, I'm looking to do more of the the Comic-Con circuit. And so so you know just reach out to me on Instagram. I'm very easy to find, Rick Collins, ESQ.
00:19:00
Speaker
And if you're promoting any kind of Comic-Con event, certainly reach out and I'll put you in touch with my agent who does that. Johnny, you go through all the cons?
00:19:10
Speaker
do I do some. I've done a little bit less the last two years because I've been so busy with traveling for Curse the Ghost Rider and a few other things. I just did one for free comic book day voluntarily. There's one coming up that I can't really announce yet because they have to officially announce it, but that's in November. That's when I've been looking forward to the kind of low quality.
00:19:28
Speaker
So Mark and I are in Florida, so we don't get to do like our cons are. Which one do we have? us Scared us. Spooky
00:19:40
Speaker
empire. Spooky empire. Spookilla is no longer. It's called scared us. Scared us. Oh, because they tried to sue each other. Once again, i mean, come on, guys. Put on a not show, will you?
00:19:53
Speaker
So we did a ah release of the Mr. Melvin recut Toxic Avenger 2 and 3 and premiered it on Long Island. And the crowds, I don't know, people from all over the Northeast came out to the Huntington Arts Center. And there was, yeah i think that it was supposed to be like a seven o'clock screening.
00:20:14
Speaker
And we it took us an extra hour and a half because there were so many trauma fans who wanted pictures and autographs. there was a line that literally went outside the door and down the street. It was just ah fantastic. and And the fact that there are young fans of movies that that I did with, you know, Ron Fazio and Lisa Gay and and all the others who were part of that trauma family back in the late 80s, the fact that there are fans who weren't even born...
00:20:47
Speaker
when we did those movies, but but will come up to us at at Comic-Con and and conventions and and talk about how much what we did for them has meant to them as as young people and a whole new generation of fans. It's just, it's really fantastic.
00:21:03
Speaker
I had my daughter message me the other day. She watched Howard the Duck. I like Howard the Duck. I love Howard the Duck. I don't like how it gets so much backlash. It was the first Marvel movie, and it was very well done, in my opinion. It was still George Lucas.
00:21:19
Speaker
You know what's great, though, is Howard the Duck is still in the MCU. There's Easter eggs in all the MCUs. Seth Green voiced them. It's crazy, right? so so She texted me. She goes, what in the fuck am I watching? and I was like, it's great.
00:21:37
Speaker
It was probably and so good. Yeah, she probably messaged you at the time that you know that they were in bed together.
Special Effects: Traditional vs. CGI
00:21:45
Speaker
ah Probably. I don't know. She just said, what I watching? so I thought it was good. I thought that they did it a real good job for what they had to deal you know what they had at that time Yeah, really but Let's talk about that, guys. What do you guys use for effects in your films when you're when you're out there making stuff? Because there's not a yeah I'm sure you don't have a large budget to to put a lot of effects into these films. Do you guys go back to you like now this new thing is like all AI stuff. Are you you guys utilizing any of that stuff? I use some of it for Curse of the Ghost Rider, but we use practical whenever we can.
00:22:21
Speaker
But remember, we're not out there asking people for money to make this movie. So for some of our more dangerous stuff, sure I used it. I mean, a lot of people may be against it, but it's just another pencil in the art box.
00:22:32
Speaker
And I do believe if you put your heart into it, you can still make it decent art. I mean, yes, there are... ramifications But that's no different than streaming services. They all use data centers.
00:22:43
Speaker
So there's always going to be pushback. But it's to me no different than when Pixar started making cartoons. I still go back and watch Pink Panther. I still watch Scooby-Doo. But it doesn't mean I don't i don't like the new stuff.
00:22:55
Speaker
I just got to grow. And if people don't like it, that's fine. Don't use it. But don't discriminate about it because You know, I have some very dangerous stunts and it would be a logistic nightmare for the safety of my cast and crew, especially my one friend's young son who is autistic.
00:23:12
Speaker
When he gets covered in blood in one scene, you know, you don't want to traumatize people. You know, I have explosions and fires. But yeah at the same time, my friend Troma Dan in Cleveland does an incredible practical effect seen all by himself where his head gets crushed.
00:23:29
Speaker
So we do use both. And it's it's not like I have to be on the fence pro one and anti the other. It's 2026.
00:23:37
Speaker
Right. and And so some of the movies that I did back in the late 80s, there obviously was no CGI. There was no AI. And so everything was, you know, the the the costume that I wore as the devil was made of latex and it was made out of a form fitted, know, having a plaster cast of my upper body and my head. i don't know if you've ever had that done, but... your head gets completely encased in plaster, they put two straws up your nose, and you wait until it hardens, and then they crack it off your head, and they make a mask out of the um yeah out of latex, out of that mold.
00:24:18
Speaker
And they would glue it to my face. It took maybe two hours to get into full mask and makeup every morning when I was playing the devil in in Toxic Avenger 3.
00:24:30
Speaker
um There was no CGI. Everything was old school. This movie that I just did, um Stray Hunter, the Akami-verse movie, um I transform at the end of the movie. I sort of get merged with artificial intelligence. And that's where there will be a lot of special effects that are being added on later um and using some CGI to do that. So so I've experienced both and and I agree with Johnny. It's ah it's another it's another you know arrow in the quiver and and you can use it as as little or as much as you want depending on what the effect that you're looking ah to get out of it is.
00:25:12
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, listen, I loved watching how you know Robert Englund had to sit for the Freddy Krueger makeup. I thought it was absolutely phenomenal. They did a fantastic job with that. yeah um today's Today's people, I don't think that they know how to do it.
00:25:32
Speaker
I don't think that they know what latex is or how to properly put it together. because just I mean, they still use it. but Yeah, there's still quite a few people that that are keeping it alive. like Again, the people doing the Wolverine thing with me and did the practical effects for Power Positive Murder, we're doing practical effects for that Wolverine short as well. I mean, they know all that stuff. They're very talented with it. But a lot of it also, like I said, comes down to a budget. And if you have backing from somebody or a studio and you have the time and you have sure all that extra...
00:26:02
Speaker
manpower, do it. Please keep it alive. It's traditional. It's old school. It's beautiful. But just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have to be overly vocal and castize people because they can't.
00:26:15
Speaker
No, no, no, no. Yeah, I get that. I totally get that. I'm just saying thinking like, you know, the, the error that we were to the error that's coming up now, like this whole generation, they they're relying more up upon the CGI and the AI and stuff like that.
00:26:29
Speaker
as like, well, don't need to put somebody in a mask. What we do is we just green screen, we put them in a green suit and then all of a sudden we can make him a monster. We can make him do what we, have like I mean,
00:26:41
Speaker
Right. and But in some cases, you put them in green screen, stuff like that, you can't even get it right. Right. it it And loses something for the actor. you know for As an actor, to and and I love playing villains, and to to be in the full makeup, had the wings I had. If you've ever seen the movie, I've got you know green latex arms with black fingernails and this...
00:27:05
Speaker
this you know scary costume, bangs in my mouth. um you you You can, I think, give a better performance because you're you're more in tune with the character than just doing something against a green screen that, you know, imagining of most of it
00:27:27
Speaker
Very cool. Johnny, there was a question that was up on the screen a minute ago. is Can you tell us, have you done any music for films, shorts, or any upcoming projects? Yeah, um I've been doing a lot more of that. and And it's beautiful that people are finally rediscovering stuff that I did back in the 90s and on.
00:27:45
Speaker
um By the way, just just so you know, I offer any independent filmmaker completely license-free music or score if it's something pre-recorded. If recorded a song tomorrow and it was up and somebody wanted it, I would give it to them to use because that's what we should do.
00:28:00
Speaker
But at the same time, you always hope to be paid to become a composer. Sure. well I don't know how way you can see this right here. this This is Monsters Anonymous, a film by a gentleman, Travis Nelson.
00:28:13
Speaker
And this is the first time I've ever seen my name on physical media. And he was so nice that he put both music by Johnny Logan Harley performed as Johnny Necro. So that was the first time I got to hear my music in a film.
00:28:29
Speaker
Then recently, You're going to laugh because this is the this is the season of the Curse of the Movies, whether it's Troma's Curse of the Weredeer or Curse of the Baby Eater, which has two of my oldest instrumental tracks in it.
00:28:43
Speaker
And it also had one of the stars in that is in Killer Cox. So it's this... new circle of independent cinema and i know that we noticed that mark and i noticed that a lot you know you you know we've had directors we've had writers we've had actors actresses
Creative Filmmaking Anecdotes
00:29:00
Speaker
stunt people um camera people and they all have the same thing to say like that the community is so tight that you may work with one person for two years
00:29:14
Speaker
And then you might go away for a year or something. They do ah a project or two or three or four on their own, and you're doing these projects. And then you guys get together one day and go, hey, you guys want to do this project together? Right. yeah Oh, man, I haven't seen you in two years. How you been? Right.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah. The song that was in that Monsters Anonymous is also going to be in the Stubborn. So that's kind of cool, too. And then, again, the two songs of Poltergeist 2 to finish answering your question. But.
00:29:37
Speaker
I don't even remember. I have offers out for so many people, but they're not all in the same stage of being able to say yes or no. um Rick, I heard it was your idea for one of my favorite scenes and when you light the cigar off the bald henchman's head.
00:29:54
Speaker
you tell us the story behind that? Yeah, so so my character, be I have a dual role. So I play the devil at the end of of the movie in Toxic Avenger 3. But prior to that, I'm basically a corporate villain, bad guy running a... a highly toxic and polluting corporation. And so, uh, yeah.
00:30:19
Speaker
So, so yeah, so I was, i was always looking for some way of expressing disdain, um you know privilege, you know just just treating people badly because after all, secretly I'm the devil.
00:30:35
Speaker
And so anything that I could do to kind of make people yeah be dismissive of humans. And so I had a little bald henchman. And so I came up with this idea that in one scene I would tape a flint to the side of his head off camera.
00:30:50
Speaker
And so I practiced lighting a match. My character smoked cigars. so I would light a match off the side of his head and just pop on the cigar and do the line. as all of you probably know, as the day wears on and there hasn't been enough ah filming done, you begin to lose the light. And once you start losing the light, that means that you're gonna have to shut down filming and you wanna get as much done as possible. And so this particular scene was at the end of the day and Lloyd Kaufman, the director said, okay, let's do this scene. I said to him, Lloyd, listen, i
00:31:27
Speaker
I got this little idea about doing a little bit of business where during my line, I'll just light a match off Jerry's head. And I could see immediately he's losing the light, he's upset, he didn't want to do it. He's like, no, no, no, do it straight, do it straight.
00:31:41
Speaker
I said, listen, Lloyd, give me one take. If it doesn't work in one take, because he was concerned it could be an hour of fumbling with the match. He's like, I said, give me one take. If it doesn't work, I'll do the line straight.
00:31:53
Speaker
We compromised. He said, fine. And because we were losing the light and the sun was so low in the sky, when I hit the match off his head, the flame was even bigger and more pronounced than it would have been earlier in the day. And it's in the film and I think it just looks great. And it it really shows a lot about who my character is.
00:32:14
Speaker
Fantastic. All right, guys, let's do this. um We're going to take just a couple of minutes of break. That way we can go get our drinks. Use the restroom. Mark's going to cue up some music.
00:32:25
Speaker
And then, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, we're going to be talking with Johnny Necro and Rick Collins. And we are also going to play a little game called Florida or not Florida. If you watch the show, you already know.
00:32:40
Speaker
So if you haven't watched the show, when we come back, we'll explain the rules. Mark, what music you got queued up for us, buddy? i Until I Wake and the song is called Cold.
00:35:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:04
Speaker
Your cat fucked it up? No, it cut off. For some reason, this one didn't play all the way through. You suck at me. And I have bit of a hard stop, guys, um in like about five minutes. and I know Johnny wants to cover a lot of stuff also. So um I may ah bid adieu to you guys in a few minutes, if that's okay. Yeah, that's fine. do You want to stick around for the game?
00:35:30
Speaker
ah I probably will jump off just before the game. All right. So when it's game time, maybe I'll jump off if that's okay with you. That's fine. Mark, who is the music from again?
00:35:43
Speaker
Until I Wake. Until I Wake. And we're going to have one of the band members on next week. Is that right? Yes, August. All right. Fantastic.
00:35:54
Speaker
Johnny, talking about bands, man. What did you think about ah that one right there? August was almost in Curse of the Ghost Rider, but there was scheduling conflicts. Him and his wife were early early on in discussions with this, so I'll give them a thank you for we're even considering it back then.
00:36:09
Speaker
But no, it was good. I've known about them. Like I said, I've been online friends with them for for over a year or so. lot of respect. Amber was one of the first few guests that we had on our show when we first started. Very cool. She's doing very well for herself and her career as well, but so is August.
00:36:27
Speaker
Yes.
00:36:31
Speaker
I don't know what the hell this dog's problem is. You better get the hell out. Get out of here, dog. Angel still passed out under the blanket behind me. The cat? Yeah, she's she's passed out. She sleeps while I record punk rock.
00:36:46
Speaker
ah I mean, she loves music. She doesn't mind noise at all. She's just happy to be away from the other three.
00:36:55
Speaker
How many cats you got? Four. Wow. Wow. We had six, unfortunately. couple were taken from us over the last two years. It was just the one year anniversary my very special rescue baby, my little tripod Vader.
00:37:09
Speaker
So that that was kind of a hard week. I had nine at one time and then, know, then went down. Too many. There are kids. We don't have any human babies. So we take care of rescuing babies that need us more.
00:37:24
Speaker
Angel's blind in one eye. Somebody at my work threw her out in the truck lot one winter right before Christmas. So we had to nurse her back to help, so she lost one of her eyes from her upper respiratory, but she's a perfect help. She's one sleeping there.
00:37:41
Speaker
So I'm very much against animal cruelty. Vader lost his leg because somebody stomped him when he was four months old and he was a stray. And nobody wanted him from the vet, so we took him home. We brought him back from PTSD to the point where he had stand up for kisses.
00:37:55
Speaker
So, I mean, love can heal all wounds.
00:38:00
Speaker
This girl got seven. That's way too much. you And I'm not that bad. 17, y'all. but Wow. I'm good with one. We're good with one. I'm not even, I'm not a cat person, but they're okay.
00:38:16
Speaker
The best breed, the best breed. Oh my God. Speak up. Best breed is rescue. Rescue. There you go. Rescue cats are the best breed. So not Siamese. Is that what we're getting at?
00:38:30
Speaker
While we still have time before he hops off, Rick, I just want to say thank you again so much for being in my debut film. Thank you for playing in our sandbox. It is a true honor and a privilege.
00:38:41
Speaker
And again, you're once you're trauma, but you're always trauma. So it it means the world. You're a living legend, and we thank you. Thank you, brother. Thank you. Thank you, Johnny. And thank you both Mark and Brian for having me on. I do have to jump, but I really appreciate you having me on the show and maybe we'll do it again sometime.
00:39:01
Speaker
Absolutely. I'll make sure I let you know the next time I'm in New York so we can go have some dinner. Sounds good, gentlemen. All right. Take care, guys. Have a good night. Night. Okay, you too.
00:39:15
Speaker
All right, Johnny. He's such an amazing human being. Thank you for letting him join us. Absolutely, man. Yeah, it's fantastic to have him. let's do Let's do a little game called Florida or Not Florida. We got some fans in the comment section that will play along with you.
00:39:32
Speaker
It's an easy game. No problem. Just so people know, I can't read the comments on my cell phone. It's like way too tiny. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not ignoring anybody. She has a tabby Sainese that's a rescue as well. All right. So if I pop it up on the screen, I'll try to read it to you. I'm just not ignoring people. I don't want them to think I'm being... No, no, no. Brian normally reads them anyways.
00:39:56
Speaker
Okay. So the way the game works, it's very easy. i just read a headline, give you a little synopsis, a little bit of the story. And we have these people here in Florida. They're called Florida man and Florida man be doing some crazy shit.
00:40:14
Speaker
I've watched the show. You've watched the show. Okay. so So I live
Game Time: Florida or Not Florida?
00:40:20
Speaker
there temporarily. So, I mean, yeah, I've seen it. Where out in Florida were you at? Panama City Beach. Matter of fact, on the Johnny Necro Facebook page, I just found a song that was on my wife's hard drive that I didn't even remember recording. And I made a little video with like a rabbit and ah and a gator and and making fun of people and also being very serious. how People are the reason so many gators get unnecessarily killed because people were fucking idiots.
00:40:44
Speaker
so everybody was did that Hey, here's a good idea. That's a fucking huge lizard. Leave it the fuck alone. Right. His job to eat you. Yeah.
00:40:56
Speaker
They're not herbivores. They are carnivores, dude. you Boy, you sure do look like a big plant. Let me grab a hold of you real quick. All right, here we go. Here is the first headline then, Johnny.
00:41:10
Speaker
Man arrested after trying to teach a bear how to properly fist bump. Yeah, that didn't happen. Probably Florida. Although the bears are very weird down there because they don't get all the extra weight for hibernating.
00:41:25
Speaker
So you think it's a Florida bear? Sure. All right, let's let's give the comment section here a second to see what they say. park What you what do you think, Mark? It's not Florida.
00:41:36
Speaker
You don't think it's Florida? No. think it's like Tennessee. Tennessee, get the hell out of here. All right, ah all trouble. Miss Amanda is saying not Florida and de-sleep time. I say not Florida for the bear.
00:41:54
Speaker
so we don't have a lot of Bears here in Florida just so you guys know but we do have Bears they're little so let me read this one more time man arrested after trying to teach a bear how to properly fist bump this actually happened in Russia a guy in Siberia wandered into a wildlife area approached a juvenile brown bear and tried to train it like it was a tick tock pet dude you went completely out of the United States for that Yes, I did.
00:42:26
Speaker
I saw that and I was like, oh, yeah, we're doing. Yes, we're getting that. We should save that for Canada or or the United States. Ah, we're good. All right. Here's your next question. We're all the same.
00:42:36
Speaker
No matter where you go, we're all stupid. So, unified. Our next headline reads, woman steals Ferry because she was late for work and thought she could drive it. Is this Florida or not?
00:42:51
Speaker
Say that one again. A woman steals a ferry because she was late for work and thought she could drive the ferry. Is that Florida or not Florida?
00:43:03
Speaker
Sure. Going to go Florida on that one too Why not? Okay. 50, 50 pants. Where's our comments section? Mark, what do you think, buddy?
00:43:14
Speaker
Not Florida. All right. Give me your reason of not Florida. How many ferries do we actually have in Florida? I used to live in Jacksonville.
00:43:27
Speaker
Okay, that's one. All right. Amanda says not Florida and sleep says leaning towards no.
00:43:39
Speaker
Johnny, you want to change your answer? No, I'm good with being wrong. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. It is woman steals ferry because she was late for work and thought she could drive it. Not Florida. It happened in Sweden. A commuter missed the last ferry of the morning and decided that the local, the or excuse me, the logical solution was to untie it and pilot it herself.
00:44:07
Speaker
This happened it in Sweden. i I would have thought more so like in New York or something.
00:44:15
Speaker
Somebody stealing the Staten Island ferry. I swear to God, bro. Listen, your ass getting shot. Probably not even by the like the police. it Probably like somebody else that's on the ferry.
00:44:26
Speaker
I had to sleep on that while homeless before, just back and forth. Fuck. And the subway, but that's another story. I kind of miss the subways. No, not really. All right, naked man have found sword fighting with a tree at 3 a.m.
00:44:42
Speaker
Florida or not Florida. Florida. I might as well go with the hat trick. One of these is going to be Florida, so I'm just saying Florida again. So Johnny's just going to lean towards – listen, I would just make every answer. I'm going with Florida. It's the name of the game. One of them is going to be Florida. Mark, what are you thinking?
00:45:01
Speaker
Florida. And why do you think that, man? Because I've read stories like that in Florida. Okay. All right. Let's see what my comment section says here.
00:45:13
Speaker
I love this one for the ah for the previous one ah about the ferry. Was I would have said Louisiana. All right. Next one was.
00:45:24
Speaker
Amanda says Florida on this one. And sleep says this sound that sounds like Florida with the sword in the tree. Well, let's see, guys. Here we go Naked man found sword fighting with a tree at 3 a.m. m Gainesville, Florida police responded to reports of a man battling nature.
00:45:44
Speaker
He had a decorative wall sword and was challenging a large oak tree to a duel. When asked why, he said the tree started it.
00:45:56
Speaker
Beautiful.
00:45:59
Speaker
You fuck you, tree. Fuck you. You got me arrested. All right, here we go. Next question. We're down to our final two. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Goat breaks into a hospital, eats medical paperwork, and refuses to leave Florida or not Florida, guys.
00:46:17
Speaker
I'm going to say no on this one. Ooh, you want to know this? Because all the eat all the goats.
00:46:25
Speaker
What happened with all the goats? Who eats all the goats? All the snakes eat the goats. The snakes would eat the goats. You're absolutely right. ah Mark, what do you think on this one there, buddy?
00:46:35
Speaker
ah Do you agree with Johnny? Yeah, I'm going agree with him. So we're not down in the Everglades, of course. we're up We're up here in the little armpit of Florida. We got a lot of gators.
00:46:49
Speaker
But I used to have goats. You know the finicky thing about goats is they get out of everything. You can't contain a goat. I don't care what anybody tells you.
00:47:00
Speaker
And going to bet you that this happened like in Ohio or something like that. Well, let's see. Amanda says it's not Florida and sleep says not Florida. I don't feel like it would be a goat in Florida.
00:47:16
Speaker
Okay. Like I said, once upon a time I used to own goats, but let me read this to you guys one more time. Goat breaks into a hospital, eats medical paperwork, refuses to leave. It actually happened in India. A goat wandered into a rural hospital through an open door, found the records room, and started just chewing away on the page of files.
00:47:36
Speaker
India, guys, where they have big a lot of scope that was either lot of goats. Oh, my God. You picked all the way out of the United States. Buddy, I just found some great stories for this for this show. no i mean i like He says he doesn't research for the episode, but he'll research like hell for the game.
00:47:56
Speaker
I i would not take about five minutes for this, ah for the game.
00:48:02
Speaker
I don't research for the show because the show is not about me. It's about you. So I always bring it to your attention. Like, what do guys want to talk about? Then you'll learn something, too, then. So that's kind of good. We're a teaching show.
00:48:17
Speaker
We're like the Reading Rainbows. All right, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. no Man tries to rob a store with a live crab as a weapon. Is this Florida or not Florida?
00:48:30
Speaker
Man tries to rob a What's that? That could be a trick of what you're saying.
00:48:40
Speaker
But I agree with... ah Going all over the place, Brian Santiago.
00:48:49
Speaker
I agree with... ah Johnny, um I believe it's Florida.
00:48:54
Speaker
Johnny, you said it is Florida. Mark, you think it's Florida as well. All right, crew, what do you guys think? Makes sense for Maryland, but going to say Florida. Oh, I love the Maryland thing. I love that.
00:49:08
Speaker
I do have a Florida crab story. So. All right, we'll finish up this one and then we'll hear this Florida crab story. Brian's got a crab story. Oh, wait a minute. yep Sorry, can't say that one. That wasn't me, that was you, bro.
00:49:21
Speaker
No, that wasn't me. and And Amanda says, Florida, all right, we got everybody that's locked in. Here we go. Man tries to rob a store with a live crab as a weapon.
00:49:33
Speaker
Key West, Florida, man grabbed a crab from a nearby dock, stormed into a convenience store, waving it like a biological nunchuck. The clerk left, the crab pinched him, and the man dropped both the crab and the plan.
00:49:50
Speaker
Police described it as a poorly executed crusti crustacean-based crime. So, yes, it happened in Florida right here in Key West, just about five hours south of us, Mark.
00:50:04
Speaker
Okay, so tell me your story, and congratulations. Who won? A three-way tie. Three-way tie. Everybody won. Congratulations, everybody. Everybody won. I mean, I don't want to say Johnny didn't do well, but everybody else got them all right.
00:50:21
Speaker
yeah I don't care. I lost. Johnny, you know what you get for winning, though? Some of these bad boys. We send these things out. I don't know if you got yours yet.
00:50:33
Speaker
Mark's going to send you some. If not, and then he's got some of those as well. Nice. couple little decals, do what you may with them, throw em up on a stop sign, Walmart bathroom, it don't matter.
00:50:45
Speaker
i mean that's So before I forget and get distracted, here's your two part crab story. So even though my wife is from Michigan and and I had lived in Michigan off and on being from there as well off and on.
00:50:59
Speaker
ah We did not meet face to face until she had moved to Florida. And that's how I came down to see her finally, even though we knew each other in Michigan online, i worked with her brother's girlfriend at the time. So we met in Florida though, we went down to Florida and she'd never been fishing before. So I said, let's go fishing in this bay.
00:51:22
Speaker
And we had squid for bait and we're out there fishing. And I said, do you wanna fish? goes, well, I've never fished. So I handed her the pole and I said, well, just kind of do this. And she goes, okay. And then she handed it back. And I said, Ann, there's something on here.
00:51:35
Speaker
By the time we reeled it up, there was a blue crab holding onto the line, eating the squid. So my wife bought a blue crab on a fishing line for first time ever fishing.
00:51:47
Speaker
Later that day, I made a fake crab track because there was crab traps all around the dock. I just did it with some bucket and rocks and whatever, and I was dragging it just being a smartass.
00:51:59
Speaker
And I caught something with that, and I pulled up, and it was a crab trap. And there was a crab in it. So we took that out of the guy's crab trap, went home and cooked them both, and we were good. And by the way, my wife and I have never had a complete day apart ever since our first day together in Florida.
00:52:15
Speaker
That was 2008. My wife and I have never had complete apart first day together Florida. Never had a full day apart. Like anywhere I go, she goes, even if I'm at work, I still come home. Yeah. But we've we've never been separated by travel or any of that shit.
00:52:31
Speaker
Yeah. Unfortunately, we, my wife and I had a lot of separation, but I guess that's what makes it a strong relationship because hell we've been married for 29 years now, dude. That's beautiful.
00:52:45
Speaker
I mean, you know, part of that, you were in the military. So yeah. Yeah. My military was way, way, way, way way before. before Yeah.
00:52:56
Speaker
Mine was all the way back in the 90s. By the way, I even brought this out just just for the show because of your month celebration. My hell on wheels.
00:53:08
Speaker
You were in the Army? Yep. That was hell on wheels. And yet I got p deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in the nineties during the immigration shit that was going on. And that's, that's where I did about a little bit, almost, almost a year down there before going back to Texas.
00:53:26
Speaker
And then Texas really is what started a lot of my other careers just because I happened to be in Fort hood. Where one of my other friends, by the way, when I was being asked about the music, I'm still supposed to do a theme song for my very talented friend Aaron Markham's movie that's supposed to come out, The Legend of Bloody Bones. And Aaron is also in Curse of the Ghostwriter, as well as one of his characters from that.
00:53:46
Speaker
But um as soon as I got out, I moved to Austin. And in Austin, my comic Frozen Dead started in the Daily Texan. My first CD came out in 96 in Austin, which was the Killing Innocents stuff that's in The Poltergeist 2.
00:54:01
Speaker
And Killer Cox, James Carnes is from Waco, Texas. And i I became heavily involved in his film for that. So even though I've been all over the country, Texas was really good to me and really good to my entertainment career.
00:54:14
Speaker
I was going to ask, when you were in the military, did you start doing entertainment? like you i'm sure you probably... started before the military. I mean, the military was... was just basically a stepping stone i did it and i'll never regret it and i i'm happy with what i did but i don't sleep right but um in general i was doing it ever since high school so i've always always done art and i've always done music yeah it was probably 94 the first time i recorded my first industrial song amanda wants to share this real quick and i know you can't see it so i'm going read it to you army here third grade third infantry
00:54:51
Speaker

00:55:03
Speaker
You know, um a lot of people do that. A lot of people say thank you for your service. um I think at the end of the day, I think the people at home need to thank themselves for, you know, holding down the fort to, you know, like the families, the wives, the wive the you know, the husbands or whatever that weren't deployed, but they were still, you know, my wife was military. then She'll tell you, she was not ever in the military, but she was military.
00:55:29
Speaker
Military housewife, but she she had to take care of shit, you know? She took care of the battlefield at home. I was even born on an Air Force base in Maine that's no longer there. Oh, really? Wow.
00:55:40
Speaker
Damn. my mom My mom worked at a base in Orlando that's no longer there, so... It's crazy. It's crazy all all the time that went by and and now all these bases are getting... lot of decommissioned places now. Closed down and stuff like that. Yeah, absolutely.
00:55:57
Speaker
um And as you know, we're going to have our military show right at the end of the month. It's going to fantastic time. I hope you guys tune in and watch that. um I love the garbage pail thing. We were talking about that before the show.
00:56:12
Speaker
Is that the only one that you have up? That one's a blanket. So i get that that zoning went up. I just recently bought a a Garbage Pail Kids Madball comic book when I was at this show the other day, which side trauma story. One of the neatest things I ever did is this really cute couple asked. They came both days. They asked permission to come back the second day with their steel box of the Toxic Avenger reboot, which I thought was great as well.
Johnny's Creative Journey

00:58:11
Speaker
There's another one. I can't name them because I don't know if it's going to happen or not, but I might be doing an entrance theme for somebody as well. Somebody that's in an underground wrestlers. no not Nothing huge, but but still i mean still fucking cool.
00:58:26
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, think about this, man. Back when we were watching ECW, CM Punk's music was all fucking underground stuff. Right. A lot of those wrestlers had underground music. It wasn't fucking mainstream shit. You know i mean? And again, I'm not doing it to get rich. and I'm doing it to to help support. Yeah, I get some recognition, but at end of the day, I'm doing it because I care.
00:58:45
Speaker
Yep. that's That's fantastic, man. um So all those projects. And then where can people find you? Linktree, you can look up Frozen Dead 13, but there's also, I'm all over Facebook. Everything I do is on there. whether it's Frozen Dead, I just started a page specifically for that comic.
00:59:04
Speaker
And in the albums, any out-of-print book over the last 27 years is free to read in the albums. Nobody should have to pay for entertainment if they can't afford to. So anything out of print, they can read there.
00:59:17
Speaker
Of course, they can always buy the current book for $30. That wouldn't hurt my feelings either. But But once that's sold out, that will also be free to read in the albums, you know. And Curse of the Ghostwriter, Killing Innocence, Johnny Necro, they all have Facebook pages.
00:59:32
Speaker
And then you I post pretty much daily. Anything I do, you can find. But more than that, I'm trying to share other people's stuff. So I'm also sharing your show and several other shows and the horror scene and movies like Bitter Souls, which is on Tubi and Survive the End, which with when that comes out, I'm going to be so excited about that one too, because that one I found out I was able to be in on accident because I offered them a song for a different movie.
00:59:58
Speaker
which was already out and now i'm going to a drive-in to watch it tomorrow so oh it's it's a weird weird life i work the job i have to so i can do all this other stuff as free or as cheap as possible to help support this scene i gotta work university but just we gotta work too just so i can pay for this show Right. And again, thank every supporter I have, but don't just support me. Use those three dots at the top of Facebook and invite your friends to those pages that you like and those people that you support. Subscribe to the YouTube. You may not have time to watch everything, but it means a lot to all of you creators. Exactly. That's the whole thing, man. You like it.

01:01:09
Speaker
well I jokingly, I call myself the PBS of underground horror punk entertainment, but i really do mean that because i don't charge you for a lot of shit. My wife makes most of my merch. Yes, we make money selling stuff. You can find fantastic creations online, but I do a lot of stuff pro bono because I just love to do it and I love to entertain. And in this ever changing negative climate, we need to help each other smile more than ever.
01:01:37
Speaker
yeah man. That's true. All right. Well, Johnny, we asked you for an hour of your time and you have been super humble. I'm going to go get a little bit more of that beef jerky over there.

Speaker
So is there anything else that you want to mention before we let you go? I just, I want to say thank you to anybody who's been and involved involved in anything that I've been doing, whether it's something I personally created or those who invited me into their sandbox and especially people like you for letting me enter your artwork and your lives for a moment. Thank you very much. um if If you can help somebody, just help them. If you can create, create, just create for the sake of creating.
01:02:17
Speaker
It's not always about getting rich at the end of the Payment, health are not always the same thing. You know, we don't need another Hollywood independent stuff. Help each other out, man. we're We're the future of entertainment because we actually do it because we give a shit. We give our all. We give our heart and our fans are the best. So thank you all.
