Talk From Superheroes

You don't need to be a plumber or hedgehog to star in a story set in a video game, this week we're talking about Wreck-It Ralph. The original story with pre-existing IP sprinkled in for fun. We talk about novelty vs. story, actors that everybody loves, how to depict being lonely, and the existential fear of dying in a video game.
