Sometimes a story is so entertaining it just simply has to be read aloud. Joel Murphy came across one such story on the Huffington Post this week. The headline was as follows: “Hitler Gave Nazi Soldiers Blow Up Sex Dolls To Combat Syphilis: Book.”
After discussing Nazi blowup dolls, they dynamic duo turn to a story sent in by a reader: actor James Franco has created a “Museum of Non-Visible Art” and one of his artists recently sold a piece. The piece didn’t actually exist, it was just an idea. Joel and Lars can’t help but think this is the definition of an “Emperor’s New Clothes” situation.
Why does Hollywood insist on retelling comic book origin stories? What was the non-existent piece of art that sold and how much did it sell for? Why should you know Leslie Bibb? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

I have found that good art used to mean to me that it was painted accurately, as in.. realist. But I guess over the years my definition has grown to include paintings that evoke emotion. I haven’t really gotten to the point that the way the brushstrokes on the canvas look make me appreciate it more. That level is a bit above my art appreciation. Please don’t take this as any endorsement for that stupid imaginary art idea.
p.s. that Captain sure did get frozen

Otakon is the largest anime convention on the East coast, btw. The people definitely dress up every day (three day convention). There are lots of anime previews, and some special screenings of anime series and movies. There are also several Asian live action movies there, an artists room, an anime products (sellers) room, and a huge room filled with practically every gaming console imaginable. Sadly, I didn’t get to go this year 🙁
