Once and Always a Fanboy

Hello everyone, my name is Chris, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!

My guest today is a Japanese American singer who's beginning an exciting new chapter in her musical journey in Japan. Her music blends the laid back feel of Hawaii with nostalgic Japanese pop, all brought together by her rich, deep vocals. She made her solo debut with “I choose me,” and she's now back with her second single, “Daydream,” a song about reaching for your dreams and discovering what lies ahead.

Fangirls and fanboys, please welcome Tegan!

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the people behind a film that caught me off guard in the best way. What initially seemed like a monster thriller turned out to be a surprisingly moving story about the complicated emotions we carry with us.

Thank you to 20th Century Studios for making this interview possible!

Hi everyone, my name is Chris, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

My guests today are from a show based on one of Stephen King’s most beloved novels, Carrie. And with Mike Flanagan at the helm, you know you’re in for a beautiful and haunting retelling of this iconic story.

And for the first time ever, someone actually crashed one of my interviews. And let’s just say, I definitely wasn’t expecting who walked in. A memorable Fanboy moment for sure.

Fangirls and fanboys, Summer H. Howell, Samantha Sloyan, Matthew Lillard, Amber Midthunder, Alison Thornton, Josie Totah, and with a surprise appearance, Mike Flanagan himself!

Hello everyone, my name is Chris, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

My guests today are members a rock band from San Antonio, Texas, who started out as a completely unserious side project before turning into a band that has built a massive following online. After the success of songs like “Seventh Heaven,” they’re back with their brand-new album, THIS MIGHT BE USEFUL, which explores the different kinds of pressure that come with growing up and building a life around music. And now, they’re taking that album on the road with their North American tour.

Hi everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

Today, I'm joined by a new artist who's bringing a very familiar sound back into the mainstream. With her pop punk influenced music, she is quickly carving out her own identity, and she has even more music on the way. I'm so excited to hear more about her process, her craft, and what she wants to say through her music.

Hi everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

My guest today is someone who has built an incredible career in front of the camera and behind the scenes, and now gets to show us a completely different side of herself as Bobby in Lioness. She’s an actress, a producer, and someone who has kept evolving while staying true to who she is. I’m going to try my best to keep my fanboying in check because I absolutely love her character and this show, but I make no promises.
