Join me for a deep dive into the state of the culture. I’m breaking down my professional video editing journey and social media strategy before diving headfirst into the latest in nerd culture—from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and Fallout Season 2 to Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again.

We also get into the weeds of comic book history with a look at my G.I. Joe collection, discuss recent films like Terrifier 3, and wrap things up with a live Q&A/AMA recorded on the go at the airport.

CNF50isDEAD!

2025 is finished. #CNF50 was the journey through that year—my response to the cultural milestone of #SNL50—but now that year is done. #CNF50isDEAD means we are moving into the new year, leaving the old way of doing things behind.

This is the full breakdown of everything that defined 2025. From the Mad Men marathons and the deep dives into Star Trek and Pluribus, to the dental surgery recovery, hitting the big 5-0, and bringing home Vincent Von Cat.

From the grind of the events industry to the highs of the stand-up stage and the community that showed up for it all, this is the final look back before we start what’s next. A new podcast?

Who Let the Dogs Out (Hodgee Films, 2019)
Only Boston Screening!
Tuesday July 22
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
60 Seaport Blvd., Boston MA, 02210

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Baha Men's global pop sensation, Who Let the Dogs Out, OPEN is presenting screenings of Who Let the Dogs Out, a documentary film following artist Ben Sisto from Seattle to the UK as he attempts to gently nudge-back against the concept of individual authorship in favor of a view that art is a collective process. Produced by Hodgee Films, Who Let the Dogs Out made its debut at SXSW (2019), was a hit at Hot Docs (Toronto), and was later adapted into an episode of the popular podcast 99% Invisible. In addition to the Boston screening, the film will play at the Providence Public Library alongside Sisto’s collection of some 300 pieces of research materials and ephemera.

The Boston screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Who Let the Dogs Out writer Ben Sisto and critic Oscar Goff of The Boston Hassle.

Some kind words:

"…niftily balances a tightrope equation of “how much is this a white paper and how much is this an entertaining movie,” — Observer

You’ll never hear that damn song the same way again, that’s for certain." – POV Magazine

It’s all just very confusing." –A/V Club

About Ben:

Ben Sisto is an artist who lives in Providence, RI with his family, including a dog called Andie. He is the world's leading expert (unchallenged) on Who Let the Dogs Out. Back in the 2000s, Ben lived in Boston where he organized many concerts, parties, and flea markets at places like Mass Art, Great Scott, and The Milky Way.

Identical Cousins presents

WE ‘R’ ALL PEE-WEE

A tribute to Pee Wee Herman at Crystal Ballroom on November 26th.

Screen Pee Wee’s Big Adventure at Somerville Theatre followed by Immersive Performance After Party in Crystal Ballroom.

What other entertainer has had the sheer cultural, aesthetic, and psychic impact of Pee-Wee Herman (aka Paul Reubens 1952–2023 R.I.P.-W,)—let alone one so subversive, deranged, arty, and queer?!

Sunday November 26th, cast off your Thanksgiving torpor with your own Big Adventure, as the Somerville Theatre & Crystal Ballroom X Identical Cousins grants your wish to fly directly into the heart of the Playhouse. After a screening of Tim Burton’s revolutionary 1985 film (served with a warm-up of highlights of the TV show), float upstairs to the ballroom for a raucous celebration of the icon’s legacy.

A Super Friends-style cast includes comedy (co-hosting: Tooky Kavanaugh, Angela Sawyer), drag (Celia Smokinbutts, Luke Warm), and oodles of live music from Pee-Wee’s universe, featuring local luminaries like Red Sox organist Josh Kantor, Patriots / Bruins deejay T. J. Connelly as D.J. Conky-2000, rock gods Hilken Mancini (as Cyndi Lauper / Pee Wee Aerobics for puppets) and Thalia Zedek (brass/winds), Teenbeat Records’ Cotton Candy (’80s commercial breaks), and a Walter Sickert cameo.

Inhabit Pee-Wee’s world with an immersive bicycle photobooth, an interactive Picture Phone, cartoons fit for a King, a Burton-esque nightmare installation, a Pee-Gee-Rated Peepshow, a commemorative activity book, on-theme cocktails, and reimagined Playhouse sets and props galore. Bust out your best elevator shoes for a Tequila dance party—bonus points and a shot at a prize for wearing your favorite Pee-Wee & friends costumes.

The Word of the Day is…you’ll just have to join the party to find out!

Note: your ticket to the after party grants you free admission to the film.

It starts with the breath. I learned to count in Japanese when my Dad and I took on the ultimate 80s father/son bonding exercise by taking Karate together. I am sorry, but I somehow have yet to watch Cobra-Kai. The Karate Kid craze in the 80s and early 90s was a real thing, and we were all about it.
We studied under Sensei Michael and Sensei Linda. We had to drive to get there and were sure not to forget our gi when leaving the house because there was a ‘three strikes and you are out’ penalty for forgetting your gi at home.

Uechi-Ryū Karate-Do

My Dad used to smoke, and he had his cigarettes in his red t-shirt pocket by his heart. One of the training exercises we did was to face each other, our forearms pressed against each other. In a kind of “hot hands” or reverse arm wrestle, the point was to stare your opponent down, quickly move your arm away from the other person and land a strike. At home, my goal was simple. Our arms were pressed against each other. As soon as you felt the other person move to strike, your task was to block their strike. But I had a different goal when I was attacking. I knocked my Dad’s Marlboro Reds up and out of his shirt and onto the floor to make a sound that only a small cellophane-covered cardboard box filled with tobacco-filled paper tubes can make. The strike when landed on me was little more than a three-fingered ‘slap’ to the face. We played best of 10 (I think).

September 12th was Sensei George Mattson’s birthday. He studied Uechi-Ryu, brought it to America, and wrote the first English book about Karate, The Way of Karate from Tuttle Publishing in 1958. I used to work for Tuttle Publishing, by the way! My first ‘real’ job.

Americans have a different way of celebrating elders and don’t have the same cultural respect for older generations as other countries, so I would just like to wish Sensei Mattson a happy and healthy year ahead and thank him for bringing us Uechi-Ryu. Not only did it connect me with my father in a meaningful way at a time when it was important to do so developmentally, but I also used the fundamentals of Uechi-Ryu in self-defense and my daily life.

Sensei Mattson’s black belt is literally worn out.

Daily routine is a kata
I have not practiced karate in several years, as I am always searching for a Uechi-Ryu class near me. It is not as popular as mixed martial arts and Tae Kwon Do. There is no Uechi dojo around me. I re-upped as a white belt for a Japanese karate style ten or 15 years ago but didn’t stick with it.

One thing I do daily is that I count to ten in Japanese on my reps at the gym, on my bike for a good sprint, or out running between telephone poles (a HIIT technique I learned as the Cross Country Co-Captain in high school).

I can only imagine that the particular accents and pronunciation were taken from Sensei Mattson as it passed to me. I hope to meet Master Sensei Mattson one day!

BUY ME A COFFEE

From 1 to 10
First off, the numbers in Japanese from 1 to 10 are these. I have put my spin on it in parens.

ichi 一 (EECH!)

ni に (KNEE)

san 三 (SOAHN)

yon 四
shi 四 (CHEE)

go 五 (GO)

roku 六 (LUCK!)

nana 七
shichi 七 (SEECHE)

hachi 八 (HAHHTCH)

kyuu 九 (Q!)

jyuu 十 (JU)

REPEAT.

There is also a cadence in my counting that tells a story in three acts, and #10 “JUUUUUUU” is the rolling credits. If you can count to ten lying on. your back with your feet raised 6 inches in the air and holding it there, it does feel. like you have accomplished something.

I can’t pinpoint Sensei Mattson’s exact age, but it’s around 85, and he is still the father of Karate for me and lots of Americans.

It is valuable to celebrate these milestones and recognize elder leaders in our culture this week as the U.K. mourns the loss of its Queen.

I Think This is Great! with Clay N. Ferno Saturday Shorts, March 12, 2022 - "How's your Panny?"

"How's your Panny?" - stolen from my friend’s Instagram account when they were just getting back into working on concerts again in 2021.

I spent a lot of time thinking about time.

I spend a lot of time thinking about death. Since the death of my Mother.

Tim Heidecker and Weyes Blood’s Fear of Death record had a profound effect on me.

Fear of Death Live! at Desert Daze 2021 Photo Gallery.

We near 1 million deaths in the US from COVID-19, an unfathomable number.

“SIRI: How do I know if I have this?” — Thanatophobia

Thanatophobia is commonly referred to as the fear of death. More specifically, it can be a fear of death or a fear of the dying process.

It’s natural for someone to worry about their own health as they age (I’m 46 this year). It’s also common for someone to worry about their friends and family after they’re gone. However, in some people, these concerns can develop into more problematic worries and fears.

The American Psychiatric Association doesn’t officially recognize thanatophobia as a disorder. Instead, the anxiety someone may face because of this fear is often attributed to general anxiety. (Great, LOL!)

Signs and symptoms of thanatophobia include:

anxiety

dread

distress (!!!?!)

Treatment focuses on:

learning to refocus the fears

talking about your feelings and concerns

How are you coping, on this 2 year pandemic anniversary? Are you missing someone? Are you finding more joy these days? Are you going out to shows?

When I was riding Uber Eats deliveries on my bike in 2020, I crashed into a pole because I was listening to Oliver Tree.

I saw Oliver Tree at House of Blues last night. I got to wear my cowboy hat and jacket. He has a cowboy thing going on too. Most of the people at the sold-out House of Blues show were not wearing masks.

My short but succinct review of The Batman. I loved it, it was too long. I haven’t done a deep dive into Easter Eggs yet, but I will.

I was looking for the snarky Joe Strummer quote about stage time. “these people have things to do”… but I didn’t find it. Link me to it below if you know what I’m talking about.

I found this one instead:

“I don't have any other message than don't forget you are alive” — Joe Strummer

Sidebar, went to see an up-and-coming band the other night and it was not for me. I need my bands to rock, my country to make me sad, and my hip hop to make me move. Get out of the fucking middle of the road. I bought tickets (I can usually get a guest list spot) and I fucking left. Snoozefest.

Maybe the quote is just “We, The People, Have Things To Do”.

Never have I tuned the algorithm so quickly on YouTube so quickly to my immediate interests.

An hour after completing the Season 4 Finale of the top-streamed Taylor Sheridan show Yellowstone, I’m being fed top bull rider videos from Vice News, Stories from The Bunkhouse from the franchise itself, and Peter Travers and Kevin Costner’s making of Yellowstone interview, worthy of the embed below.

Costner was pitched Yellowstone as a 10-part movie, not a series

The actor only has 5-10 Western movies he thinks are up to snuff

Built 3 canoes before he was 18 after admiring James Stewart in How The West Was Won at a birthday party when he was 6 years old

Costner is set to start shooting period Western “Horizon” in August

The twenty-minute video gives some insight into the man who is and who plays John Dutton. I saved the Costner interview to watch after a battery of Entertainment Tonight interviews with the other stars of the show.

For the record, I’ve been watching this mostly on my own, this is not a show I watch with my long-suffering partner who I keep telling to “Cowboy Up”.

Tonight, one of her burlesque troupe members was here with her to prep for a show, while I somehow made my way through the Season Finale of Yellowstone. I have 1883 to watch now, but I am sad that I am so caught up.

I cried 5 times.

For the record, I cry when I see Costner in Man of Steel professing “You ARE my son” to young Kal-El. Every. Damn Time. At least 3 of the Yellowstone cries were for these father/son moments between the complex characters in the show.

I discovered recently that my current obsession makes a lot of sense. I’m really enjoying my new and gigantic TV with Yellowstone. Tyler Sheridan, real-life cowboy, actor, and creator of the show is responsible for one of my favorite movies in recent years, Sicario and the sequel (not as great in my mind, Sicario: Day of The Soldado. At my friend’s wedding in Puerto Rico, Benicio Del Toro was at the same resort hotel. Christ, you could have filmed part of this movie at this hotel. President Obama and the First Lady stayed there too. Badass place, with parrots.

Prior to my recent deep dive into this show, I had credited Sicario director Denis Villeneuve with the genius of that story. Visually, he’s my favorite working director in the business today. I love the overhead shots and sweeping vistas. The story presents an insider knowledge of drug cartels or at least believable fiction. For some reason, I never had a reason to look at who wrote the story I found so compelling. Sheridan’s career is vast, including Oscar nominations for 2016’s Hell or High Water. You can be your whole bunkhouse paycheck that I will be seeing that one soon.

This guy is amazing and I wish the expanded Yellowstone universe with 1883 and 6666 all the success in the world. Amazing cast, writing, action over all of these projects. Actors go to Cowboy Camp. The production films on location. Accuracy is matched with the beauty and sweeping landscapes of The West.

I’m not sure why you are not watching Yellowstone yet. I’m already planning a Montana vacation.

Last week, we lost one of the heroes of Grunge. So many are gone now. Rest in Peace, Mark Lanegan. Here's Mark with Layne playing “Long Gone Day” with Mad Season.

Here’s Mark with PJ Harvey “Hit The City”.

So much loss and it especially hurts when it’s someone struggling with sobriety (not that this was his cause of death, that has yet to be revealed and he was sick recently).

Transcript:

Hey, everybody. Clay N. Ferno here wanted to talk about the epic finale for HBO Max's Peacemaker, written and directed by James Gunn. We watched it last night. We loved it. We love this show. There was a special appearance by our friends in spoiler warning, it's coming - The Justice League! We had shadowed out Superman or shattered out Wonder Woman, Jason Mamoa and Ezra Miller, The Flash and Aquaman showed up at the end after a really brutal, incredibly violent, incredibly funny show. And one thing that I really like about the show. It's the costumes and special effects movie level. And it's different. It's different. We've seen lots of Marvel stuff or the past 10 plus or 15 years.

How long has Marvel been around doing these Marvel Studios? And then we got the CW shows that's great… And CW shows have really done a number on costumes, but there's something about these HBO max shows, including Titans, Peacemaker, Doom Patrol, and however they shoot it. Very bright and 4k ready, 8k ready,

They just look so amazing. Our dreams from being a kid and seeing our heroes up on the TV screen are good. They're happening now. So there's almost too much of the superhero stuff. Like I would love to watch The Boys, but I just haven't gotten into it. Another show we really like is Legends of Tomorrow which is returning, I think tonight which is another DC show.

But of course, the Marvel Disney+ shows are great. And that includes the Star Wars shows Mandalorian and Boba Fett. Let me know what you think about Peacemaker. If you saw it last night, if you intend on seeing it, I want to try not to spoil it too much if you haven't seen it, but are interested in it, do you want me to convince you?

I think I could. I think I could convince you to watch at least an episode, definitely interested in hearing what anyone has to say. I'm just all about comic books. I have. Been doing a comic book podcast for a really long time with my friends. And then I've also got my own podcast. My girlfriend is in the other room doing her workout.

It's Friday afternoon here on the East Coast, Boston MA reporting live Clay N. Ferno. I haven't been outside yet today, but maybe I'll go to the gym. Take some inspiration from Stacey with her workout and the other I'm pretty much finished up work for the day, which is cool. We watch our superhero TV shows all our TV shows late at night over dinner because we're nightclub people, Burlesque dancer, in the house here, I'm a promoter.

I'm like a club promoter. I promote comedy shows a lot of podcasts, music. Most of my days doing music, business-type stuff. But at the end of the day and my hobbies, my hobbies include my podcast, my podcast leaguepodcast.com. And we've been shooting a lot of video podcasts recently. And do you know what?

I don't even know. We just broadcast. We put it out there. We're putting it out into the world. Hope people like it. I don't know. We have some listeners. I wish we could catch it on fire. Maybe the Wisdom app is the way to go for that. Engaging conversations. But as far as, Peacemaker finale, let's talk about lots of cool action.

Funny, funny jokes. And you've got, literally, I read the James Gunn film, some of this while he was filming, while he filmed the Flash cameo on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy. There was a little bit of one hand washes the other, because the young lady that's in the show opposite John Cena, I forget her name has escaped me.

[Danielle Brooks... Sorry - ed!]. She auditioned to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 3., which they're filming now. So Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The Marvel people sort of shot it cause they were already doing a production. So the Flash cameo is shot on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy 3. And then, this young lady is a very talented actress.

Super funny. I've seen her a million things. She's wonderful, but she did her audition on the set of the Peacemaker show. I dunno something to that effect. You do a little research into that. If it's interesting to you, you'll find that out that Marvel and DC sort of came together to make sure both projects happened in a way in a small, tiny way, but it's surprising to see that. That also goes along with speaking with, speaking of the Justice League, George Perez, who is very sick right now. He is, responsible for a lot of great, great work over at Marvel and DC, and drew JLA, Justice League and Avengers crossover. A very rare thing is happening where this very rare crossover things being reprinted with permission from both huge companies, to raise money for the Hero Initiative, which is an organization that gives health insurance, the creators comic book, creators, these people that come up with all the ideas, you know, make sure they have health insurance and a way to survive.

Anyways. It's very cool thing, Marvel/DC team up. We'll probably won't see much of that, but when we do see it, we like to point it out. We do, and I speak in third person, but also from a comic book fan and a member of the community. In conclusion, love, Peacemaker, very top streaming show. What else am I streaming? If you're wondering what you're not, it's funny I got a Wisdom app notification someone else's thing come on in and listen. Okay. Maybe I will hop over that. I would tell you watching Yellowstone binging my way through that. I haven't been to a series like this 24 for Christ's sake, keep going through it, loving that we're loving Ghosts. A funny show on Paramout Plus, the new Star Trek, Legends of Tomorrow.

I don't know. I just like to, I feel like pop culture is a great thing to talk about with groups of people because you could have some commonality. You know, my Dad and I don't agree politically, we really love each other a lot. And we can talk about Yellowstone. Maybe he is getting something different out of the show than I am, but we can definitely agree that it's a great, great show.

Anyway. So think I'm going to sign off here. Thanks for joining my first Wisdom app talk with my seven fans. I hope to join you in your rooms, and I hope you come and listen to mine some other time. Maybe I'll make this a regular thing. Peace and love. Peace and Love. I just took a screenshot. Yeah, very cool. Talk to you all later.

Clay is joined by Raheem Jarbo aka MEGA RAN to talk about his debut book, a Memoir, Dream Master.

Featuring a foreword by Austin Creed, aka Xavier Woods of the WWE tag team The New Day.

Over five years in the making, the highly anticipated rapper's memoir shows how hip-hop, education and video games keep Mega Ran on a straight and narrow path but also gave him the courage to completely depart from it and create a foothold in the most unlikely of vocations.

Welcome to the Clay N. Ferno substack Newsletter by me, Clay Silva Fernald. Stage name first, and there I go revealing my full government name.

I’m a Boston-based comic book and pop culture creator that has my eyes open for political tidbits, deep-dive movie facts, and opinions about what makes things great and why they might not actually be great at all.

I am currently a co-host on LeaguePodcast.com as well as my own podcast, I Think This Is Great! with Clay N. Ferno (You Are Here!).

Hopefully, some new ideas come into the substack forum in an organic way. Thanks for signing up.

About The First Guest - LJ Malberg
Hi!  My name is LJ Malberg and I am the Compassionate Muse.  I am an organizational design consultant, trainer and executive leadership coach and CEO of The Reliance Company.  I believe that leading with compassion creates the most successful work environments and contributes both to the welfare of the individual and continued growth to the organization's bottom line.  There are countless studies that prove that happy workers are far more productive, inclusive contributors to their companies than their unhappy counterparts, and that these positive behaviors spill over affecting home and family life as well.  We live in a precarious time where compassion is needed now more than ever, and my work is to spark change in the way organizations and individuals work together.

P.S., Acknowledgements
The host wishes to take this rare launch day opportunity to thank and acknowledge the following people and services that have made this day possible. To Stacey who deals with the piles of books, comics and boom mic stands in our tiny Brighton apartment. To LJ, who is more than the spirit of #ITTIGPOD, more like direct inspiration. To all of my guests in Season 1, recording has been such a joy. To Sam Furst from Monsters are Good. for making me look great! To Cooper and House of Harm for offering tracks for the intro music. To our first sponsor, MMMMAVEN, a place where creativity blooms. To Dan Benjamin at fireside.fm for making a sensible and professional podcasting CMS that works better than I could have imagined. To Pat Flynn and Power-Up Podcasting (and I'm not just saying that for you to force a passing grade)! And to you, the listener if you are family, friend or perhaps foe, please spread the word on this show!
