Stephen Kropa is a big fanboy for two artisans (directors/writers/show runners/comedians...) who would probably consider themselves fanboys as well, Dan Harmon and Edgar Wright. Their bevy of pop culture influences on their own projects is a constant comfort and inspiration for Kropa, and I can't find any room to disagree with him on the ways they are similar creators when it comes to the blending of homages and nods with their own unique, very specific voices and visions as artists.
In this second part of our August episodes co-curated by Patrick Klepek, we've got six more great storytellers sharing their thoughts on the theme "Fingers Crossed."
Dive in to this episode with the indomitable Erin Lann for tons of ocean chat! We delve into her three favorite animals of all time (all sea beasts), and eventually meander into some deeper philosophical territories like bio-dome conservation and world politics. Erin gets into some deep cut ocean animal facts, and it was a true joy to learn from her.
This week, our second episode of the Birdologuecast turns to the merits of the stinger on Guardians of the Galaxy, then transitions to wrestling somehow. THEN, meet Bo Austin, the world's premiere spoonful photographer, and his roadie, Paul.
I'm pretty ashamed of myself for never having seen Joss Whedon's beloved, taken-before-its-time sci-fi series, and dear Allison only heightened my shame with her excellent weaving of thoughts and feelings on this series and many other Whedon properties. We explore themes ranging from dealing with grief to accepting your inner nerd-dom all via Whedon's 14-episode work (plus some Serenity talk).
This month, Giant Bomb news editor Patrick Klepek joins us to help curate a fantastic night of storytellers who (mostly) share their thoughts on the theme "fingers crossed"!
