SOMETIMES I GET ASKED STUFF... #41!

And we're back for the 41st installment of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff… 

You can check out all of the past installments of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff... here.

Who are you?

Q: The best band/singer you've ever seen live?

The WHO. Tom Petty was a good second.

Q: Is Monday Still the START of Your Work Week? And, if Employed, What Do You Really Do at Your Job?

As a writer, my work week is 7 days. No beginning or end.

They won't back down!

Q: How do you deal with competition in your industry?

I don't really think about it. I don't consider other writers as my competition. I prefer to think of them as peers or co-workers. Sometimes we go after the same gigs and we're all looking for readers, but even then I find the writing community to be a very open and supportive bunch. I don't put other authors down to push or promote my books, for example. That feels unprofessional to me. Oh, sure, there are some who no doubt disagree with me on this (I get disagreements with my thinking a lot, maybe that's why I'm not more successful), but most writers I've met are wonderful. I'm thrilled to be part of this community so

No competition here...

I don't actively compete with other authors.

Q: What do you tell people when they say they want to be an author? Are you encouraging, or discouraging?

Always encouraging, but I don't sugar coat the realities of trying to write for a living.

A COOL PIECE OF ART!

I have awesome friends. Thanks to my pal, Buddy for this cool piece of art called "Domino" that reminds me of a pulpy crime fighter of my acquaintance. The artist is Billie Dupree of Birmingham, AL.

I love it. It's now hanging in my office.

Thanks again, Buddy.

BOBBY NASH INTERVIEWED BY AUTHOR LISA HASELTON

I was interviewed by author Lisa Haselton for her reviews and interviews site last year. It got a little lost in the shuffle, but has now gone live. It's all still good information, except for the what are you working on now question. That's a bit out of date. We talk about writing short stories and novels. Thanks, Lisa. You can read the full interview HERE.

I was thrilled to join Phantom Troublemaker and his Needless Things Irregulars (Beau Brown, Arian Gulick, and Ryan Cadaver) in the Phantom Zone for this episode as we re-watch and discuss 1987's Masters of the Universe movie. Does it hold up? Is it better than we remember? How awesome is Frank Langella as Skeletor? Is that Star Trek Voyager's Tom Paris Living In A Box? All these questions and more are answered in this thrilling episode of the Needless Things podcast. Good journey.

What fans expected.

Goddard, production designer William Stout, and the rest of the cast and crew worked their hardest to create an epic science fiction and fantasy experience, The Cannon Group's notorious budget limitations kept them from providing the movie fans wanted.

Now, three decades later and thirty years wiser, the Needless Commentary team reviews He-Man's Hollywood debut to see if there are, perhaps, redeeming qualities that were missed the first time around. Or if not, if the movie is at least better than Krull!

What fans got.

BOBBY JOINS THE NEEDLESS THINGS PODCAST CREW TO REVIEW SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING!

After having so much fun talking Spider-Man last week, Ryan Cadaver and I joined Phantom Troublemaker in the Phantom Zone once again, this time to discuss Spider-Man: Homecoming! You can hear the full podcast review here. I always have fun hanging with these guys. Action is still our

reward!

Phantom Troublemaker, Ryan Cadaver, and the Award-Winning Bobby Nash once again gather in the Phantom Zone, this time to discuss Spider-Man: Homecoming!

The newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one that for years seemed impossible – a movie starring Peter Parker, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Thanks to fan demand and probably more than a little corporate greed, Sony and Disney got on the same page and decided to share Marvel Comics' best-known and most profitable character. Did they pull it off? Is the MCU Spidey the best Spidey? Where does this new film fit in to the grand scheme of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Listen in as Phantom, Bobby, and Ryan discuss the history of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in comics, TV, and movies on Needless Things podcast episode 169: Spider-Man: Homecoming HERE!

If you like this episode, please check out Needless Things episode 168 where Phantom Troublemaker, Ryan Cadaver, and I talk all things Spider-Man leading up to the new movie.

It's a fun discussion that you can listen to HERE!

Phantom Troublemaker, Ryan Cadaver, and the Award-Winning Bobby Nash discuss everyone’s favorite wall-crawler, Spider-Man!

Spider-Man has been everywhere and done everything as Marvel Comics' highest profile and most consistently profitable character. He's been the subject of cartoons, movies, TV shows, and countless toy lines. Regardless of the media support or lack thereof, Spidey's face is one that the public loves and will always throw money at.

From his birth in 1963 up through the most recent movies from Sony, it's time for the Needless Things Irregulars to talk about their love of one of

My first issue of
Amazing Spider-Man

the greatest superheroes ever created!
