Ian Ramirez has spent his career finding innovative ways to make mouth-watering meals for clients—and one of his latest ingredients is artificial intelligence. As a chef, culinary consultant, and co-founder of Mad Honey Culinary Studio and Goods, he’s the guy that brands hire to get their product on restaurant menus, and make it look and taste good—whether it’s a sauce, syrup, spread, or spice. Ian uses AI to tackle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of menu planning for commercial kitchens, and help clients visualize new concepts before anything gets sliced or diced. It’s a tool that augments his creativity, he says, and makes prep less of a grind. On this episode, Ian talks about how AI is helping him and his team spend more time doing what they love: cooking and getting creative in the kitchen.

We start the week talking about some new trailers (Doctor Strange, Jason Bourne, Magnificent Seven, The Girl on the Train, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Independence Day: Resurgence); you can tell we're really "excited" about all these movies because we each use that word about ten times a piece while describing our reactions to the trailers (3:50). We the talk about the upcoming Flash movie and the ongoing Flash tv show (15:28) before briefly touching on the upcoming Punisher tv series from Netflix (18:29).

We also watched the first two episodes of the new season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix (14:27). Marvel's Moon Knight #1, written by Jeff Lemire with art by Greg Smallwood, is up next.

The movie, now in limited release for theaters but also available to rent and stream online, follows Max (Farmiga) and her friends when they pulled into the world of a classic slasher film. It puts a funny twist on a lot of genre tropes and is well worth a watch. We also talk about the new book from Image Comics, Paper Girls. Written by Brian K. Vaughn with art from Cliff Chiang, it follows a group of paper girls out on their routes in the early morning of All Saints' Day in 1988. The first issue builds the world and characters really well, then shifts gears halfway through and the story arc takes off. Check it out!…

The power couple records our first, but not last, pod while geographically separated. Sound quality suffered, but we'll keep trying to get it right! This week we talk about the new Ridley Scott movie, The Martian. Starring Matt Damon and a super duper all-star cast, the movie is based on a novel by Andy Weir about an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars. It's a great movie that's funny and smart, fairly scientifically accurate (according to people who would know), and really well acted. It's awesome sauce. We also discuss Vol. 1 of The Private Eye, the digital book from Brian K. Vaughn and Marcos Martin that's available on panelsyndicate.com for whatever price you think is fair. Set in 2076 LA in a world where a now-defunct Internet once dumped all private information out into the world, the story follows a paparazzo who gets pulled into investigating a murder. Surprise! We thought this book was also awesome. Two awesome things, one podcast.…

We talk about the series to date and how important it is to the medium and to us personally. We look at the storyline, but also how effectively the creators are using every part of a comic book to make an important statement/call to action. We also talk briefly about Batman #44, a one-shot detective story arc from Scott Snyder and JOCK that draws a lot of parallels to many of the important social issues that come to the fore again and again in today's society. We take another short detour to talk about A-Force, from G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett, a super fun series that ties into the Secret Wars event at Marvel. Finally, we choose a new show for the fall TV season to follow and discuss: Blindspot on NBC, Monday's @ 10 EST for anyone who wants to follow along!…

The first issue of a five-part mini-series published by Image Comics, Plutona #1 introduces us to the main characters of the story and offers a startling introduction into a new superhero-inhabited world. From there we move on to Lazarus #19, written by Greg Rucka with art by Michael Lark. We've talked about Lazarus before, but the series just keeps getting better and better and issue nineteen was no exception. And finally, we also really enjoyed the new one-shot from Marvel Comics, Hank Johnson: Agent of Hydra.

45:23

The power couple discusses The Shadow Hero, last year's graphic novel about the Green Turtle. Published by First Second, it's a superhero origin story written by Gene Luen Yang with art by Sonny Liew. The Green Turtle was originally created in 1944, had only a five-issue run in comics, and is rumored to be the first Chinese-American superhero in comics; Yang brings the hero back to life with this story. We also talk about the new USA Network show Mr. Robot, starring Rami Malek and Christian Slater. The show is about a cyber-security engineer/hacker who is recruited to help take down a huge corporation. As USA's first attempt at prestige television, Mr. Robot does a ton of things right and the intrigue continues to build as the season goes along. We highly recommend this show. Charlene's Notable this week is the end of Matt Kindt's MIND MGMT series and the one-shot follow-up conclusion, NEW MGMT. Eamon's Notable is Jason Reitman's live reading of the Big Lebowski, held at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal.…

A great issue to end an amazing series, we talk about the story and the art and the overall effect that this Hawkeye book has had on comics in general. We also talk about the new Ant-Man movie, Marvel's latest superhero offering that stands out because of its unique approach to Marvel's version of the superhero genre movie. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll. Lastly, we talk about Ex Machina, the new movie from director Alex Garland and starring Alicia Vikander, Domhnall Gleason, and Oscar Isaac. The movie is a tense sci-fi drama (with a very small cast) about the advent of self-aware artificial intelligence, and does a great job with a lot of associated themes. Eamon's Notable this week is that Hulu has made the entire series of Seinfeld available on demand, and he throws in some other cool Seinfeld stuff. Charlene's Notable is the news about ABC's television series Once Upon A Time that came out of Comic-Con, and why it's so important to her.…

The power couple discusses the new book from Image Comics, We Stand On Guard, written by Brian K. Vaughn with art by Steve Skroce. The story is set in Canada, the year 2124, 12 years into a war between the United States and Canada. It's got giant robots, crisp art, lots of action, and an interesting hook: definitely a book worth reading. We also talk about the newly relaunched Archie series, written by Mark Waid with art by Fiona Staples. The talent of the creative team shines as the story pulls you in immediately, making Riverdale feel both fresh and well established for new and old readers alike. Finally, we also hit on HBO's faux sports documentary 7 Days in Hell, starring Adam Samberg and Kit Harrington. This 43 minute mockumentary details a 2001 Wimbledon match that somehow stretches over an entire seven-day span. It is absolutely hilarious. Charlene's Notable this week is Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods, particularly the tenth anniversary full cast audio book edition, which she is listening to for a second time.

The power couple discusses the first issue of Dark Horse Comics new series Mulan: Revelations, from creator Robert Alter, writer Marc Andreyko, with art by Micah Kaneshiro. It’s a cyberpunk vision of future China, where a virus threatens a tech-dependent society and it seems only a descendent of the legendary Mulan has the cure. Issue number one does a great job building characters, the future world, and the art is fantastic. We also talk about Effigy, a new series that just wrapped up its first arc, published by Vertigo and written by Tim Seeley with art by Marley Zarcone. We say that there’s a lot going on this book so many times through the pod that it must be true: murders, the occult, gender and societal perception, fame as religion, reality vs. script… seriously, it is a lot. Charlene’s Notable this week is Framebridge, the custom picture frames and online art framing site from which she ordered a Father’s Day gift. The site is awesome and easy to use, pretty much our only prerequisites. Eamon’s Notable this week was the flurry of Spider-Man news, as the new web-slinger was cast for both Marvel and Sony movies as the studios collaborate to get Spidey just right for many upcoming projects.
