We’re coming within almost 2 months of the release for G.I. Joe: Retaliation and some more stuff is coming out… our next allotment of press images from the upcoming G.I. Joe sequel have Roadblock and Snake Eyes in a much friendlier moment than a previous image we saw with them pointing weapons at each other. The second image is another picture of Lady Jaye in that red dress.
Wouldn’t mind seeing some more action shots with her, but hey, what are ya gonna do, right? Check out the images below.

This story actually came out a couple of days ago, but got kind of lost in the shuffle of the big action figure reveals. Entertainment Weekly recently published a story with some attention paid to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and they’ve posted a nice interview on their website as well.
I will admit, most of the back and forth banter is stuff we’ve heard (and read) before, but it’s still great to see some more mainstream publicity for the movie sequel.
The most telling quote is this one:
“Channing Tatum returns from the first one, as does Jonathan Pryce. So there are some plot connections between The Rise of Cobra and Retaliation?
Yeah, sure, sure. There are some plot connections with the first and the second. I’ll tell you this: Out of great tragedy often emerges new leaders and, through a great tragedy that takes place with the Joes. New leaders emerge.”
Johnson does seem to indicate a bit more that perhaps Duke is destined for an uncertain fate in this film, though, as he puts a strong focus on Roadblock taking over the “leadership” role of the team. That does seem to be a strong emphasis throughout the interview. While it obviously doesn’t confirm any rumors about Duke in the film, it certainly doesn’t dispel them either.
Check out the full interview right here.

As I mentioned yesterday, Jay over at Carded Heroes picked up the first wave of G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures at his local Meijer’s, and is now doing a G.I. Joe: Retaliation “theme week” to celebrate!
Today he covers Duke. I’ve mirrored just a couple of images below, check out the full review over at Carded Heroes.

This might not be quite so exciting now that these figures are being found at Meijer’s, but for those of us without one of those particular stores nearby, this is still a cool thing. The card art may be non-descript, but I still dig seeing these new figures contained in their little plastic prisons.
Check out the full image on GIJoeClub.com, and I’ve mirrored a piece of it below.

So over the past year we’ve covered a lot of ground on the What’s on Joe Mind podcast. We’ve talked comics with Larry Hama, we’ve talked Sunbow with Buzz Dixon and Flint Dille, and we’ve fully explored the world of G.I. Joe: Renegades with many of the voice cast members. Heck, in episode 50, we even got an awesome congratulatory message from G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M Chu!
So with our one year anniversary episode coming up, we had to decide what we wanted to do… what would the listeners want to hear? The answer was easy…they want to hear… themselves! That’s right, episode 52 will be a “call in show” where anyone using Skype is welcome to call into the show and shoot the breeze with the What’s on Joe Mind crew. The details are below!
OK, for our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY show, our guest(s) will be YOU! By popular demand, we will be doing a “CALL IN” show.
Here’s how it will work:
First, you gotta have Skype. If you don’t have Skype, go to http://www.skype.com
Second, we’d prefer you have some type of headset/microphone combo. Its not essential, but if we can’t hear ya, it will be hard to record ya.
Third, add chuckdawg1999 to your Skype contacts.
Fourth, join us on Skype April 24th – NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT at 9pm EASTERN. Contact Chuck to let him know you want on the show – and bring a good question or topic to talk about will ya, or Justin, Mike and I will resort to sports talk which will anger a bunch of people and you don’t want that.
Every 5th caller, gets a prize (and not some crummy figure you already have, but a GOOD prize)!
In the meantime, if you have any questions, hit us up here or add us on Twitter: @GeneralsJoes, @chuckdawg1999, @Beachhead_WOJM and @garygodsoe
