Jeremy is joined by comic book writer Sam Johnson (twitter @dasamjohnson) to discuss the collected edition of his mini-series Geek-Girl Lightning Strikes.  They discuss some of the characters and story elements, digital comics, and trends in the comic book industry.

About:

Created and written by Sam Johnson (The Almighties, Cabra Cini) and illustrated by Carlos Granda (Grimm Fairy Tales, Charmed), in Geek-Girl vol.1: Lightning Strikes! (collecting the first 4-issue Geek-Girl Mini-Series) we meet attractive, popular Maine college coed Ruby Kaye. Ruby is a girl used to getting anything she wants; and when she overhears Trevor Goldstein, the resident college brainiac, talking about super-tech glasses he’s invented, she decides she wants them!

Jeremy talks with Aydrea Walden, creator of the blog TheOreoExperience.Com, and upcoming web-series Black Girl in a Big Dress.

About :

BLACK GIRL IN A BIG DRESS is a series about an African American Anglophile cosplayer in love with the Victorian Era who's trying to bring a fantasy courtship from her re-enactment events into the real world. 

Adrienne feels happy and confident when she's dressed up living life like it's a fairy tale, but back in the real world, it's a whole different story. Put her in a petticoat, and Adrienne can hold court with the best of them. But when the costumes come off and she has to just be herself, she has a hard time knowing who that is or how she fits in.

Dan Fletcher joins us this week (recorded right after July 4th 2017) to discuss his web series Panthyon.  Pantheon is a tech company run by ancient Greek Gods.  We discuss the genesis of the series, what was involved in getting the show made, and film making in the modern world.

I do possibly ruin a story hook in the process.

I watched "My Roommate's an Escort"  "The Mean Boss Lady" (interview with the creators here) and spotted an actress playing "the boss" that I recognized but wasn't sure from where.  As the question of who she was gnawed at me, I wandered over to IMDB and looked her up.  No wonder I knew her, her name is Ellen Dubin she has been in everything!

Ellen was in Sailor Moon (an uncredited role, if you know the episode please let me know which it was), Tammy & The T-Rex (no really this was a movie with some people you have heard of trailer here)she played Giggerota the Wicked on Lexx, has voiced some of your favorite games, was in Napolean Dynomite and has a new series on Amazon.  I could not possibly list all of her credits, so go check out her out on IMDB.

I had a ton of fun recording this interview with Ellen Dubin.  She has an interesting story, about how she went from dancing to acting, and from not liking sci-fi to loving it.

Have a listen to our conversation, then go check her out on the interwebs.

I first caught Jason Dube’s name from Andrea Molinari and again the next time he appeared,  and later when I was joined by Melissa McCommon.  I added his name and the name of Scattered Comics to my list of “remember to reach out to”  names.  The last year at Central Valley Con I met Shane Will (Scattered Comics ops manager) and picked up his comic “Caliber” and I promised myself I was going to reach out to Scattered Studios right away. Sometime later Jason Dube contacted me via our Facebook Page about reviewing one of their comics.

 

This is a really fun conversation, where we learn a lot about Jason, his time as a fan and as a creator.  We delve into using Scattered services to get a comic made as well.  If you are interested in self-publishing, hiring someone to help you make a comic or comics as a business in general, Jason has a lot to say.

Paul and Jeremy talk about the week's news 07/13/17.  Joe is on a secret assignment on Korriban.

Why is Batman getting a new script?

What are Paul's picks for the week?

This week's topic:

Fan's want it, Ewan MacGregor is onboard with the idea... but does Obi-Wan Kenobi need a stand alone movie?

What era would it take place in?  Has Obi-Wan been over exposed?

Ehat are your thoughts?  Feel free to call in 8 pm Pacific time.

Jeremy talks to Bobby Del Rio, who is calling in from a bathtub for some reason.  There are a few sound issues this episode but the show must go on.

They talk about Bobby's acting and filmmaking background, his movie "The Market" and new series "IRL The Series".

Is technology a blessing or a curse in real life and in film making?
