In this episode we spend about 50% of it talking about Pokemon, especially the recent game, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. We also talk about Mexican culture, comedy, and we open knock-off Pokemon card packs that I (Luke Soin) got while I was in Mexico with my girlfriend! It really is hilarious and entertaining to watch a foreign Pokemon card pack opening. Don’t miss it. And at the end we work on some jokes. Enjoy itttt.

Sorry for the gap in programming but we are back with another wonderful episode of THE EPIC TIKI PODCAST LOL. This episode’s guest is the very talented and cool to hang with RAUL GONZO! Raul is a film director/cinematographer, photographer, and sometimes comedian. 

In this episode they talk about Luke’s new film project, The Host, and how tough it is to get a TV pilot made with or without a budget. They also talk about how tough it is to find your way in the film industry, especially when you live in Sacramento. They also talk about movies! Like the wild “gonzo” feel of Francis Ford Coppola’s film Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Skeet Ulrich being like Johnny Depp. They also talk about the Scream franchise and much, much more! They also work on one of Luke’s jokes to close it out. Enjoyyyyy.

Oh and go check out Raul’s exhibition at Archival Gallery next year!
