On the verge of it's 30th anniversary this film is about so much more than baseball. It captures the essence of what it means to be friends and go the extra mile for your team. As the anniversary approaches, Victor and Grant have started a charity, Play Forever, to help give back and ensure that today's kids have the opportunities to experience those same types of friendships through sports and activities.     Los Angeles, CA – Cast members from the classic 1993 baseball film, The Sandlot, will take the main stage at this year’s <a href="https://comicconla.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">L.A. Comic Con</a>, for a panel on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 1:30pm to announce their new non-profit, Play Forever, and look back at the last 30 years of the classic film. Play Forever is focused on improving access for children to participate in sports, removing financial, community and social barriers that make it difficult, if not impossible for kids to have equitable access to sports throughout their childhoods. Play Forever’s mission is to make sports accessible to everyone, anywhere we can be the most impactful.   Throughout the weekend, members of the Sandlot cast will be dropping by Play Forever's booth and will be available for signings and photo ops. Play Forever will also have a variety of exclusive signed memorabilia available for auction and for sale, with all proceeds going to support Play Forever. For more information about Play Forever, you can visit <a href="https://www.playforever.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.playforever.org</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/playforever_org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@playforever_org</a>.   Play Forever was co-founded by cast members Grant Gelt, who played the character of Bertram Grover Weeks, and Victor DiMattia who played the role of Timmy Timmons in The Sandlot. Additional cast members will participate in Play Forever activities, as the group prepares to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film in 2023.   “30 years ago, circumstance brought a bunch of kids together to create a baseball film, never imagining the impact the movie would have on generations of fans,” said co-founder Grant Gelt. “Now, we want to channel our years-long friendship and the generational impact the movie’s had and use it as an opportunity to get more kids involved in all aspects of sports, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds.”   “We have all personally benefited from playing sports, learning valuable life skills and building resiliency through competition,” so co-founder Victor DiMattia.  “If we can pool together the love of The Sandlot, to improve the lives of young people, and level the playing field for kids, it would be special.”   The non-profit was also co-founded by Jacque Williamson, who has over 15 years of experience working in environmental and education nonprofits. Ivan Carter, also a veteran of nonprofit work, will serve as Chief Operating Officer.   About Grant Gelt Playing the role of "Bertram Grover Weeks" in the film The Sandlot, Grant Gelt is a seasoned music and entertainment industry veteran with a 20+ year career spanning artist management, creative services, brand, and technology sectors.   Gelt is the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer for <a href="https://masscult.co/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Masscult</a>, a creative agency based in Nashville, TN, amongst other consumer products, technology, and hospitality ventures.   About Victor DiMattia Victor DiMattia played the role of "Timmy Timmons" in the iconic 1990s film The Sandlot.

The intersection of Scotch and comics may not seem like a natural one at first, but as Ronald discusses the project with Ardbeg National Brand Ambassador Cameron George, the overlap between these two distinctive artforms, making comics and making scotch, become apparent. You'll hear the panel in it's entirety and then a quick on-on-one with Jace and Ronald highlighting some of the points discussed on the panel.

Comic Con from December 3-4. Showcasing the brand’s first-ever, limited-edition graphic novel, titled Planet Ardbeg, whisky enthusiasts and weirdos alike will take part in an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience into the world of Ardbeg.   Planet Ardbeg features three distinct tales inspired by the flavors and origin stories of three Ardbeg expressions – Ardbeg Ten Years Old, Ardbeg An Oa and Ardbeg Wee Beastie. L.A. Comic Con attendees will immerse themselves in the 40-page sci-fi anthology through the tales of “Guardians of Oa,” “The Best Laid Schemes” and “Take it with a Grain of Sand” during a specially crafted and otherworldly drinking experience.   Attendees will be presented with three paths representing the three distinct tales drafted from the unique qualities of three whiskies: 10 YO, An Oa and Wee Beastie. The experience leads guests through a hallway into a series of inlets and rooms where they encounter various environments they interact with based on the graphic novel. The cocktails will be served during a private tasting. Guests will need to reach out to <a href="https://bhimpact.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">planetardbegrsvp@bhimpact.com</a> in order to gain access to the “invite-only” post-event tasting hours taking place on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm - 6pm PT.    The graphic novel was conceived by cartoonist Ronald Wimberly, Emma Rios and Sanford Greene., each bringing their own distinctive voice and style to the project. Using three expressions in Ardbeg’s Core Range as their creative launchpad, together they produced an anthology of tales as bold and unique as Ardbeg itself, featuring a land of giant botanicals and even bigger beasts. Traversing the triptych of fantastical tales is the Quantum Distiller, who journeys across time and space gathering ingredients and inspiration to concoct the ultimate dram through the three stories influenced by Ardbeg expressions.   Available online via <a href="https://bhimpact-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2LR4ijPWWAzh-fSgfqVqapojynNI3jg295_EsW4CWSqlyt6WLhAEiMql9BEXCRNi1VPpzFjUN-9PMWCXXmgNbRUvC4yDdnrwVlZX08Kn9PjBV24jDKuBgDpH-DYms3gTptYzqZybVyFibb7mJBEmBfgJ0JCEa6u8LudHItFDwS-BLTKUXfE29Z9JxhxTewBQMX6a_8SidqWyGBpejhUA2IKxmkxTg0oec_fHY4sYOIm4wgBB2n5JJY0YWWedf36VXFFNSghZahPaJYCgAeSGyF_8_nVWrthgUB2oWRoI2_9xLKYkE3T94TT6d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ReserveBar</a>, fans can also experience the three whiskies the novel is based on - Ten Years Old, An Oa and Wee Beastie - at home.   The Planet Ardbeg graphic novel will be available for purchase at the Ardbeg Distillery Visitor Centre, in select comic book shops as well as via Ardbeg.com in certain markets.  A digital version will also be available exclusively for members of the Ardbeg Committee to read (at no cost) at Ardbeg.com/planet-ardbeg.   Fans can stay up-to-date with the latest news by following Ardbeg at <a href="https://bhimpact-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2E9MAXnvLsvPIM2rlPVabVNgzfYgBbZb3riieDRZJV091t6WLhAH7pVAD9EhwTIJGTIdnYalUbI2CLHEEEPyQQU8ekEUKuEj50R9lVcbsf8qjR1XHgPLQNNRI7jFEQwXXdVagCFtYVBzqtS1A0oMRgRSu9aSuY9z7pjcMaHWmHu8U3ONvBCBmHc8VPab_9A" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @ardbeg_usa</a> on Instagram.

Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts.  Despite its smokiness, Ardbeg is renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as ‘the peaty paradox’. During the 1980s and 1990s, Ardbeg suffered from an uncertain future and it was not until the brand was purchased by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 that the Distillery was saved from extinction.  Since then, the Distillery has risen like a phoenix and today Ardbeg is well established as a niche, cult malt, with a passionate following.    Responsible Drinking Ardbeg and The Glenmorangie Company advocate responsible drinking and suggest that drinkers savor Ardbeg whiskies in moderation and in line with recommended daily guidelines for alcohol consumption.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">bc1612b4-e210-4fcb-8ab5-cb182d2d6594</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2022 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52929251/ardbeg_panel.mp3" length="53821645" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>The Comic Source</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Recording Live at the recent Los Angeles Comic Con, Artist Ronald Wimberly discusses his project with the legendary Scotch Whiskey company, Ardbeg.

They go into detail about the wild over-the-top first issue of Bad Idea's Tankers. A non-stop action-filled time travel story with dinosaurs? Yep you bet! Rob talks about how different the story is from anything he has done before. He also discuss working with Juan Jose Ryp and Andrew Dalhouse. They guys also talk about Rob returning home, so to speak, by reuniting with many of the people he worked with at Valiant when that publisher relaunched in 2012. There's some talk about the B-Side story in Tankers #1 also, plus Rob's got a lot of other ideas in development at Bad Ideas as well. Finally, Jace asks about Rob's current DC project, Superman '78, coming in July. We know it is a passion project for Rob and he talks a bit about he didn't dare to dream about telling Superman stories in this setting.

It's the hit new comic from one of our favorite publishers and it is all about a serial killer who has become like a walking natural disaster in New York City. The police and government are so busy pointing fingers and covering their own butts, they have all but given up on catching Harry the Maniac. What would it be like to live in a city where you get your Harry the Maniac report long with subway/road conditions and your weather report? Terrifying, but in an all too plausible way.
