The Phoenix Report with Jack Connor

By Jack Connor

I'm a musician and singer-songwriter based in Orlando, FL. This is a podcast I started back in 2015 to interview other local bands and musicians I've met over the years, and sort of morphed into whatever I wanted it to be! We've interviewed everyone from family members of mine to people I've never met before with interesting stories. Plus, I've reviewed classic movies, TV shows, pro wrestling events, and even given major personal life updates! Basically, if you've ever wanted to get to know me, this is a great place to start!

Kristen Ashley (LaMura) is a singer-songwriter and artist who has been releasing music under the name Starlight Electra. Previously, she and her sister formed the hard rock band Shadow Rising in the early 2000s as teenagers.

How I Would Reboot the Power Rangers [FP 07] (10-20-2023)

In recent years, the talk of making a new/reimagined Power Rangers reboot has intensified. Now that the franchise is owned by Hasbro, it seems that this is inevitable. What would I do if I was writing it? Check out this video to find out some of the ideas I came up with!

Wyld Stallyns Documentary Idea (Bill & Ted) [FP 06] (08-20-2023)

Wyld Stallyns Documentary Idea (Bill & Ted) [FP 06] (08-20-2023)

Being a lifelong fan of the Bill & Ted movies, I always loved the idea of an in-depth "Behind the Music" type documentary about the career of the Wyld Stallyns, the fictional band led by Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan that was said to inspire an age of universal harmony and prosperity. At some point between "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and "Bill & Ted Face the Music," we learned that things didn't always work out the way they wanted it to. Could you imagine if there were a full-length documentary about the rise, fall, and comeback of the Wyld Stallyns? How did Bill & Ted's band fall into obscurity? What could be the aftermath of "Face the Music"?


This was inspired by "This Is Spinal Tap," "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster," and other similar films. Party on, dudes! **Contains SPOILERS for all 3 Bill & Ted films, including "Bill & Ted Face the Music"**

How I would introduce the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe [FP 04] (04-19-2023)

As we look ahead to Phases 5, 6, and beyond of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the big question on most fans' minds is: how will the X-Men fit into all this? More importantly, how could the X-Men fit into established MCU continuity (without any time travel/multiverse shenanigans)? I've thought about this for a while and wanted to share my ideas about how it could be done, and how I would do it. Enjoy!

This past week, I unexpectedly found out that my good friend and former bandmate, Greg Summers, had passed away after secretly battling cancer. I wanted to say a few words remembering the times we spent together, and celebrating his brilliance and the impact he made on all those who knew him.

My idea for a Mickey Mouse movie/Classic Disney Cinematic Universe [FP 03] (03-06-2023)

My idea for a Mickey Mouse movie/Classic Disney Cinematic Universe [FP 03] (03-06-2023)

One of the most iconic characters of all time has not been in his own animated movie in a VERY long time. What would a Mickey origin story look like? How did he meet Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Pluto, etc? What kind of adventures could they get into? We've seen shows like DuckTales, Goof Troop, Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and movies like A Goofy Movie and its sequel. Why not one with Mickey, the one who started it all?

One of my all-time favorite comic book characters is Dick Grayson (AKA Nightwing), the original Robin. In this video, I'd like to pitch a few ideas of what a "Nightwing: Year One" movie might look like in the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) if I was coming up with a story for it. Hope you enjoy it; let me know what you think!

I've been a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles my whole life, but what would I do if I were writing a new TMNT movie or TV show? This is the first "Fireside Pitch," in which I put my money where my mouth is and lay out some of the things I would do if I were in charge of making creative decisions. Does this sound like a movie you'd want to see? Have any questions, suggestions, or want me to elaborate on something particular? Let me know in the comments below...

I had meant to say something about the iconic voice actor Kevin Conroy, known for being the definitive voice of Batman for the last 30 years. Today I learned about the passing of actor and martial artist Jason David Frank, known for playing the role of Tommy Oliver in the Power Rangers franchise.

R59 - WWF Slammy Awards (1987) Review

R59 - WWF Slammy Awards (1987) Review

Once again, we are diving into a piece of professional wrestling history, as my friends and I review the infamous WWE (then-WWF) Slammy Awards ceremony from 1987. Joined by my friends Cory "C-Dub" from the band Chronochord along with former FCW Referee and musician Brian Connolly (drummer of The Schmeltz), we do a deep-dive analysis of one of the wackiest wrestling-related television shows in history. From the insane brawl between "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and King Harley Race to the ridiculous award categories, and including the awesomely terrible musical performances, including "Stand Back" by Vince McMahon...really nothing else needs to be said.

James Berkley is an actor, singer, acrobat, and dancer who has performed on stages across the world, from Broadway to Japan to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. In 1996, at age 12, I was part of the local Kids' Chorus in a touring production of Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at the Playhouse Theatre in Wilmington, DE. James Berkley was also part of the cast of that show, in which he played the part of Dan and various other characters. Twenty-six years later, James and I reunite to talk about his history as a performer, as well as our shared experience with "Joseph," and how we both currently live in the Orlando area!

With the release of "Zack Snyder's Justice League" back in late March, I figured this was too big for just one episode! I knew this movie meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people, so I decided to ask some of my friends to weigh in on their thoughts of the infamous "Snyder Cut!"

For the first time ever, my bandmate in Vertebreaker, bassist Robert Secrest, joins me as we begin a new series of album reviews!

R50 - "No Holds Barred" (1989) Deep-Dive Review *EXPLICIT* (01-24-2021)

In this episode, we analyze the infamous 1989 pro wrestling film "No Holds Barred," starring Hulk Hogan and Tom "Tiny" Lister. Produced by Vince McMahon and WWE (then WWF), this is undoubtedly, in our opinion, one of the worst movies ever made. Joining me are my longtime regulars Cory W. and Brian Connolly as we break down the insanity that is "No Holds Barred."

R47 - "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" S1E54 "Trick or Treat" Episode Review (12-10-2020)

(Originally recorded July 21, 2018)  In the final of my previously-unreleased Power Rangers episode reviews, Seamus Pautz (@celtickraut75) break down probably my favorite episode of the first season "Trick or Treat." Surprisingly, it's not necessarily Halloween-based, yet features the infamous Pumpkin Rapper monster, and poses so many questions about the nature of the game show "Trick or Treat," which is supposedly the number one game show in the country, despite its visibly low budget and confusing set of rules.  Find Seamus @celtickraut75 on Twitter and Instagram

(Originally recorded May 19, 2018)  

Once again, my buddy Seamus Pautz (@celtickraut75 on Twitter) and I are back with another humorous breakdown of a particularly ridiculous episode of "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!" This time, we talk about how Billy once again invents a nightmare fuel-inducing device that causes he and Kimberly to switch bodies, in an apparent homage to Freaky Friday. We examine all the crazy, Freudian implications of a teenage boy and girl literally switching brains/bodies, as well as the various hijinks which ensue.

Almost 2 years ago, my buddy Seamus Pautz (@celtickraut75 on Twitter) and I did another humorous breakdown of a particularly ridiculous episode of "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!" We have a great time breaking down and analyzing "Big Sisters" from Season 1 Episode 7. What is the real story behind this young girl who Kimberly and Trini are tasked with watching? Plus we unpack the insanity that is the RADBUG and how Billy is apparently a Tony Stark-level inventive genius.
