The cast has the honor of being joined by Alex Benjamin, an African-American/Korean actor & filmmaker and Shea Vanderpoort- Filipino-American film director/filmmaker/DP for the second episode of season two!
Shea tells his story of bouncing around the creative world from music in his early years, to his passion for comic books in college, to his experience working as a DP on Issa Rae's YouTube hit series 'Awkward Black Girl.'
Alex discusses his early work in independent action films, his unique experience being a mixed race actor in Hollywood, and is humble enough to tell us about his work in Jhene Aiko's 'Trip' (2017).
The cast listens to Alex and Shea's own thoughts on diversity in the ever changing film industry and how that inspired their collaborative work in their YouTube mini series 'Thor Buck$.'
Jon and Joe are more than impressed with Alex's Mortal Kombat commercial and the group ends the show with a short, but sweet film review on A24's 'Good Time.'
