This week Cory and Myles are chatting with Dark Wing Duck creator Tad Stones about his work and career. The inception of Dark Wing Duck, Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin and all things Disney in the 90's. We also talk about his work on the Aladdin films and his upcoming project with Netflix.
This week we have the honour of chatting with Goofy himself! We are talking to Bill Farmer who has voiced Goofy and Pluto for the last 29 years!
Farmer's very first voice over audition was for Goofy. When he auditioned for the voice, he studied the way the original actor Pinto Colvig performed as Goofy in the 1930s and 1940s cartoons. He studied the hilarious laugh and the distinctive "gawrsh". He inherited the voice of Goofy (as well as Pluto), around the same time Tony Anselmo inherited Donald Duck, and Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor did likewise for Mickey and Minnie Mouse, respectively. Farmer also played Goofy in A Goofy Movie (1995), its sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000), the Kingdom Hearts series of video games, Goof Troop (1992), which centered around the character and his son, Mickey Mouse Works (1999), House of Mouse (2001), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006).
He originated the voice of Horace Horsecollar in Disney's version of The Prince and the Pauper and has played him ever since.[4][5] Farmer also performed additional voices on The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse (1987), and Astro Boy (2004).
Other significant characters he has played include Yosemite Sam, Sylvester, and Foghorn Leghorn in the movie Space Jam (1996). He has also done several guest voices, both on TV, including The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and in video games, including the Destroy All Humans! series, Namco's Tales of Symphonia, where he voiced Governor-General Dorr, in Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts series reprising the role of Goofy, Detective Date in the SEGA game Yakuza, Captain Wedgewood and Frill Lizard in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, many voices on EverQuest II, Cletus Samson, Floyd Sanders, Jeff Meyers and Ryan LaRosa in the video game Dead Rising[6] and Sam and others in the cult classic adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road.
Farmer has also played Secret Squirrel on Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Stinkie in Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy, Willie Bear in Horton Hears a Who! and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in Robot Chicken in both the animated series and its spin-off video game. He also voiced Gaston in one part of Beauty and the Beast, when Gaston eats eggs.
As of 2014, he plays Doc, the leader of the title characters in Disney's animated television series The 7D.[5]
This week we chat with Writer Justine Gillmer about the differences between writing for TV in Australia and the US, writing on The 100, adjusting to being part of a writers room etc...
This week we are chatting with Joe LoDuca the Composer of Evil Dead I & II, Xena etc... and the new series Ash Vs The Evil Dead!
Enjoy this episode as Joe and Myles get geeky on music, bands, the music scene in Detroit, San Francisco and more. And of course we geek out about The Evil Dead!
Joseph LoDuca (born 1952) is an American television and film score composer best known for his work writing television scores for the series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Leverage, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Librarians TV series, American Gothic and Jack of All Trades. Originally an accomplished jazz guitarist in the Detroit (MI, USA) area, LoDuca frequently provides music for producer/director Sam Raimi, producer/director Dean Devlin and actor Bruce Campbell's films and series. Prior to his work on The Evil Dead, his first film, he released a jazz LP titled Glisten.
LoDuca's credits include 2 Primetime Emmy Awards, 11 Primetime Emmy Nominations, and “Most Performed Underscore” recognitions from ASCAP for four consecutive years. He garnered a César Award nomination; Meilleure Musique Écrite Pour Un Film (Best Music) and a Saturn Award nomination [1] for the French international film Brotherhood of the Wolf, as well as being lauded as "Horror Film Composer of the Year" for his score to Army of Darkness.
LoDuca was nominated for and won the Emmy Award in 2009 for Outstanding Music Composition For A Series for his music in Legend of the Seeker.[2]
LoDuca played in a rock band in his teens, before studying literature and composition at the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. He claimed to prefer composition, because it let him "run among the disciplines without getting caught".
The Truthful Phone is based by a Terry Jones (Monty Python) short story of the same name, supported in part by the Film Agency Wales with BAFTA nominated director Carl Rock.
The Truthful Phone is a dark comedy about nasty pensioner Mae Morris; local busybody, pet kidnapper, husband killer. Who unwittingly unleashes a magical gypsy curse that exposes her secrets to the very townsfolk she lives to torment.
With Puppets created by Andy Heath & Iestyn Evans who worked on Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Terry Jones said: “I’m delighted that The Truthful Phone is being given the opportunity to be made into a film short; director Carl Rock comes from the same part of Wales as I do. The Welsh landscape is a perfect setting for this tale, and I hope the Kickstarter campaign reaches its target so that a wider audience can enjoy this dark fantasy comedy”.
Carl optioned this story three years ago. We have been granted the rights to make this film by Terry Jones himself.
LINK TO KICKSTARTER
Ian Hultquist is a California-born, Chicago-raised composer and musician living in Los Angeles. His career began when he heard the first few notes of John Williams’ Jurassic Park score in 1993, and has continued on from that moment, with a few detours along the way.
After high school, Hultquist studied film scoring at Berklee College of Music, where he married his love of electronic and rock music, with his love of film, and began to develop his unique composing style. He also met his wife and fellow composer, Sofia, and became one of the founding members of the band Passion Pit.
From there, the band’s meteoric rise would take Hultquist to sold-out crowds around the world, and also give him the opportunity to hone his talent for digital and analog sound design (Hultquist acted as Musical Director of the band's live show for many years). But it wasn’t until 2011, during the band’s first real break from touring in almost four years, that Hultquist was able to fully return to scoring for film.
This week is our conversation with Bill Kopp the creator of Eek The Cat, Mad Jack The Pirate, Tex Tin Star and one of the original animators for The Simpsons (pre-Simpsons TV series). Warning! This episode contains explicit language We talk to Bill about his career, winning two Academy Awards while in school, the origins of Eek, the amazing friends he has made, his thoughts on crafting the perfect cartoon gag and his upcoming crowd funding campaign to help create his new project Dumb Bunny and Jack Ass.
This week we are celebrating the Holidays and Star Wars by chatting with the amazingly talented Nien Nunb...... Uh, Mike Quinn..... Mike started performing at young age with a professional magic act at the age of 8 and a puppet show that ended in a pie fight at aged 9! After becoming fascinated by "The Muppet Show", he knew that was the future for puppetry. He first met Jim Henson and his puppeteers as a fan in 1977, later visiting the set of "The Muppet Show" bringing along home made Muppet style puppets on a regular basis and learning and receiving much encouragement.
Upon leaving school he directly landed his first job as a Muppeteer in 1980 on The Great Muppet Caper filling in on crowd scenes and doubling up for main characters. This directly led to building Podlings and Slaves for The Dark Crystal and then actually performing the Slavemaster Skeksis for the film. This was a really fun chat about Mike's work both as a Muppet and as an animator at Pixar.
This week we have a very geeky chat with Composer Tree Adams. We not only talk music but comics, geekdom and tons of genre film and TV. You will recognize his work in shows like The 100, The Middle Man, Californication and movies like Super, Dawn of The Dead
This week we chat with Composer Edwin Wendler, but this chat goes in depth on the technical side of Composing more than any conversation that we've had. Ed talks to us about audio levels, not over powering the film and why it happens sometimes.
This week we chatted with Daniel James Lund. Dan is a Visual FX animator at Disney, he has worked on such films as The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, Brother Bear and Frozen....there's a lot more...just look at his IMDB under Dan Lund. But Dan's true passion is film in general and we chat about that, Star Wars, Star Trek and of course about the recent animated short that he has directed entitled Aria for Cow.
This week we are chatting with Miniature creator / Photographer Matthew Albanese.Matthew Albanese’s fascination with film, special effects and movie magic—and the mechanics behind these illusions—began early. Born in northern New Jersey in 1983, Albanese spent a peripatetic childhood moving between New Jersey and upstate New York. An only child, Albanese enjoyed imaginative, solitary play. He loved miniatures and created scenarios intricately set with household objects and his extensive collection of action figures. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography at the State University of New York, Purchase, Albanese worked as a fashion photographer, training his lens on bags, designer shoes and accessories—this small-object specialization is known in the retail trade as “table top photography.” Albanese’s creative eye soon turned to tabletop sets of a more wildly eclectic nature. In 2008, a spilled canister of paprika inspired him to create his first mini Mars landscape. More minute dioramas—made of spices, food and found objects—followed. In 2011, Albanese was invited to show at the Museum of Art and Design of New York. His work has also been exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, Winkleman Gallery, and Muba, Tourcoing France. Matthew is represented at Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York http://www.matthewalbanese.com/gallery

Bill has always been a unique talent, bringing a mature and complex animation style to all of his films. In this era of CG films, his latest feature film entitled Cheatin' is a welcome breath of fresh air. Cheatin' is a 2D animated film in Bill's unique illustrated style, the lack of dialogue is very suited to this artful masterpiece.

This week we talk with first time feature director Khalil Sullins about his very cool film entitled "Listening". For years, we have tried to harness the power of the human mind... and failed. Now, one breakthrough will change everything. Beyond technology. Beyond humanity. Beyond control.
HIDE. YOUR. THOUGHTS.LISTENING, the powerful debut feature from visionary director Khalil Sullins, excites as a psychological thriller about penniless grad students who invent mind-reading technology that destroys their lives. David (Thomas Stroppel) and Ryan (Artie Ahr) hope inventing telepathy will solve all their problems, but the bleeding-edge technology opens a Pandora’s Box of new dangers, especially when it falls into the wrong hands. In a color-saturated vision of present-day science fiction, friends are forced against each other in a life-or-death battle over not only the privacy of our minds, but the future of human free will itself.

JOE, April Oneil: TMNT 90's) It was a huge delight to be on stage with Veronica and her daughter Rena to talk about her breaking in story, her passion for youth entertainment and the questions that came from our audience. We cannot wait to have Veronica back on the podcast for a more in depth conversation.
In this episode we chat with Editor turned Director Aram Garriga, who is currently promoting his documentary American Jesus. This film takes a look at some of the more modern ways people celebrate their faith and is a very polarizing film experience.

We had the absolute pleasure of being guest moderators at Ottawa Comiccon 2014 on multiple panels and so we wanted to share one of our favorites with you right away! This is our live recording of Myles and Cory on stage with Charles Martinet (Super Mario)!This is that rare experience where what you really want your first encounter with a celebrity voice actor to live up to expectation and it blows that expectation out of the water! So please enjoy our amazing live podcast interview from Ottawa Comiccon 2014 with Charles Martinet.
This week we're chatting with Robert Saitzyk about his passion film project based on Jim Morrison's last days in Paris and although he's taking some creative license wit it...this sounds like a film to get behind.
This week we talk with Indie Game developers Grant and Neil of Combo Mash about their awesome kickstarter campaign for Hextraction!Take notes folks, because THIS is how you launch not only a Kickstarter campaign but show the world you've got what it takes to complete an ambitious project on time.
This week we have a childhood hero of ours, Mr. Paul Eiding is another actor who has been the voice of several generations as an actor for Hanna Barbara on several projects as well as being Perceptor for G1 Transformers and Grandpa Max in all the incarnations of Ben 10. We found a lot of wisdom and love for his craft in our chat and we hope you all take something great from it as well.
It's Part 2 of our chat with Kirk Thatcher! In this part we talk further about the arc of his career and the state of the industry.
This week we sit down for part 1 of a two hour conversation with Kirk Thatcher whose credits include Return of The Jedi, Gremlins, Star Trek 2, 3 and 4, as well as a ton of other movies, commercials, Henson related projects like Dinosaurs and of course he is currently a Judge on "The Jim Henson Creature Shop Challenge"!

You can find both him and his work at www.bross.com
We sit down to chat with Eisner nominated fantasy illustrator Travis Hanson. Creator of "The Bean" and the upcoming book "Tanner Jones & the quest for the monkey stone". This is the first of what I am sure will be a continuing conversation with Travis about his work, story telling and artistry.
This is another episode from our BWZ days...but it's new to the End Credits audience. A very cool interview with Composer Elia Cmiral that we recorded back in 2012.
This week is an interview that we did about a year ago with the lovely and talented Stephanie Sheh (Naruto, Care Bears and numerous anime films / series). The reason it has taken so long to post is that we were embarrassed about the job that we did on this interview. It was the third interview that we did that night and we were mentally exhausted. But that is no excuse for doing a bad job......BUT turns out this interview is not as bad as we recalled. Stephanie was wonderful to take time out to do this and I think it gives a good insight into her experience in the voice acting industry. So please enjoy and don't send too much hate mail our way!
This week Myles and Cory sit down with DreamWorks Story Artist / Director John Sanford.John works heavily on the How To Train Your Dragon TV series as a Director. We talk to him about his past work with in features at Disney & DreamWorks and he tells us why he much prefers TV as a creative medium.

This week we enjoy a conversation with an animation icon, author and Disney Alumni. We chat with Floyd Norman whose credits include Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, Sword in The Stone etc.. The most amazing thing about fact about this 78 year legend of animation is that he continues to work today on movies such as Free Birds and TV shows like Annoying Orange.

Myles and Cory's final episode from Ottawa PopExpo 2013 featuring a Q & A with The Boondock Saints(Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco and Sean Patrick Flanery)
Cory & Myles attended The Walking Dead panel at PopExpo 2013....and this is what they were treated to. !!WARNING!! Many spoilers ahead! So listen at your own risk....and Happy New Year from End Credits!
This is from our PopExpo Ottawa 2013 panel with UK Author Sam Stone. Sam was absolutely lovely and I wish we had actually recorded our conversation with her at her signing table the day before. She has an amazing series of books that blend genres (Horror, Steam Punk and History) in very unique and interesting ways.
Unfortunately we had a few stumbles when it came to dealing with audio. Our mics were way too sensitive (not our mics...we did not do our own tech on this) thus there's a fair amount of feedback and the recording was very over powered. We have cleaned this up as best as we could...as you'll hear we were also contending with a panel featuring The 7th Doctor Sylvester McCoy.
We had a few adventures this weekend as we ventured forth to the first Annual Ottawa PopExpo! While there we recorded a couple panels and sat down with some really interesting guests....like this week's guest David J Howe. David is a founder of the publishing house Telos Publishing and the writer of Doctor Who: The Television Companion. He is also known to be a Media Historian and the man was just fascinating to speak with. So Please enjoy Our Chat with David J Howe!
