Kevin Eastman

This week things get totally radical as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman joins the show. We take a deep dive into the beginnings of Mirage Studios, and what led Kevin and Peter Laird to come up with the insanely brilliant idea of the Ninja Turtles. We break down the duos first single-issue comic, and how they were able to bypass the restrictions of the Comic Code Authority.  Kevin shares his thoughts on the many resurrections & reiterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even tells us which ones he likes the best (& the least!) We also find out about Kevin's involvement in Michael Bay's live-action TMNT film, and the advice he gave to the production team while filming. It wouldn't be a true Drinks With Johnny chat if we didn't get into music, so of course we talk about the iconic theme song that's carried on throughout the years in the Ninja Turtle universe; I also ask Kevin about some of his favorite musicians. We get into The Last Ronin, Drawing Blood, and even find out Kevin's favorite alcoholic drink of choice. Prepare yourself for a totally tubular episode as we get into the mind of a man who's helped shape my childhood, and many others' as well.... okay fine, we'll say it.... COWABUNGA!

Om Podcasten

After touring the world with Avenged Sevenfold for 20 years, Johnny Christ sits down to have conversations with some old friends, some new friends, and people of all different walks of life to hear the stories that shaped their lives and careers. The truth is, we never really know where these conversations are going to go. Sometimes we play a game for some less than thrilling penalties, get lost in the middle of LA, and even just kick back to celebrate a holiday or two.  Sometimes we drink, other times we don’t drink at all. From cocktails to health shakes, the drink is just a nice icebreaker to loosen up our guests for the wild ride they’re about to embark upon. Whatever it is you're looking for, we're sure to have it on the menu here at Drinks With Johnny. So stay tuned, stay thirsty, and stay FILTHY AF!
