Join Literary Joe as he speaks with people from all over the world!

To round out the interviews for Top Gun: Maverick, I spoke with Kevin LaRosa, the flight coordinator for the movie.

Obviously, with such a cool job, I had to drill into Kevin with questions to learn more about what it is he actually does, and he explains everything exceptionally.

We talked about the differences in his work between Marvel films like Ant-Man and Spider-Man and the scope of the ambitious Top Gun: Maverick.

LaRosa and I also chatted about his involvement with Mission Impossible in the past as well as potentially in the future and a wealth of other information that you'll have to tune in for!

And remember to check out Top Gun: Maverick, now on digital.

Continuing the Top Gun: Maverick press coverage, I'm joined by actor Charles Parnell to discuss his role in the new Tom Cruise film.

We talk about his research process when he got the role, and we also discussed his involvement in the upcoming Mission Impossible flick. Charles even went into detail about how much he sounds like Samuel L. Jackson and his voice acting of Nick Fury for Marvel's Avengers.

It was a great time, and if you dig it, make sure to check out the other Top Gun: Maverick episodes this week with actors Danny Ramirez and Greg "Tarzan" Davis, aerial coordinator Kevin LaRosa, and Danger Zone legend Kenny Loggins. And don't forget to check out Top Gun: Maverick, now on digital!

Aimee Garcia is back! The last time we chatted, we spoke about Dragons: 9 Realms, and now that Season 3 has been released, we had the awesome opportunity to touch base and get some updated fun bits about the new episodes.

Aimee plays Alex in the How to Train Your Dragon spin-off series, a tech genius teenage girl who has two moms, so we made sure to touch on the importance of that and their Latina representation.

We also talked about her Wonder Woman: Black and Gold comic book that she wrote as well as some of her other comic book writing projects she has coming up.

Discussing her work on Lucifer, Aimee revealed that the musical episode of the show has given her the opportunity to headline her own Netflix film in which she sings, dances, and plays piano opposite Freddy Prince Jr.

It was a wonderful time, so make sure to listen in, and don't forget to check out the new episodes of Dragons: 9 Realms on Peacock and Hulu.

This episode features two actors from Top Gun: Maverick. Danny Ramirez and Greg "Tarzan" Davis play Fanboy and Coyote in the film, so we dug into those characters to start.

We went on to discuss the bonding process on set, and Danny and I touched lightly on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. They're great guys, so have a wonderful time!

That's right, Kenny Loggins is on the show! During the press run for Top Gun: Maverick, Kenny sat down with me to talk about Danger Zone and the process of making it for the first film.

We also talked about how he almost remade the song for Maverick, but Tom Cruise chose to stick with the original version. With Loggins' memoirs having just been released, we also touch on that quite a bit. Enjoy, and check out Top Gun: Maverick!

This one is such a fun time! Actress, director, stunt double, and producer Sé Marie sat down to chat with me about her newest film, Movers Ultimate, and we ended up talking in detail about a number of her other projects and aspects of her career.

In addition to learning about her experience with Movers Ultimate - both in filming it and some of the on-set details, we chatted about the upcoming movies that she filmed in the last six months, such as Unsinkable, a period piece that deals with the aftermath of the events surrounding the Titanic.

Moving into the realm of science fiction Sé and I dived into the details of Artificial Existence. The upcoming sci-fi flick has been in festivals for almost a year, winning over 25 awards around the world. It's a futuristic and dystopian A.I. story in which her character rebels against society.

We touched on A Very Covid Christmas, which she co-created during the pandemic and which has won 3 telly awards as well as others. Sé does a lot of commercial work, and she detailed the differences between the medium from general film and television acting.

Sé Marie explained how she started her career by being the stunt double for Rachel McAdams, which helped launchpad her into stardom. We also chatted about the zoom play she was part of in 2020, the first time it had ever been done, and how she was the only one from the United States cast in the project.

Obviously, Sé and I talked about everything and anything, including Marvel. It's an awesome episode, so you're definitely going to want to check this one out. And don't forget to watch out for Movers Ultimate, which hits digital this Friday, August 17th, 2022.

It's always a wonderful time when Megan Hilty is in the house! We spoke previously about the last season of TrollsTopia, but now that Season 7 has officially capped off the series as a whole, we made sure to link up and chat about some fresh new aspects of the show.

Megan went into detail about her input on the music in the show, as well as her weak points when it comes to singing and how the team works with it. We discussed her saying goodbye to the end of an era and much more, but you'll have to check it out for the rest!

In this chat, I speak with Danny Villanueva Jr. about his newest film, I Dream of a Psychopomp. The multi-talented guest not only wrote and direct the film but also produced it.

The film is an anthology about grief while doubling as an ethereal and suspenseful horror flick. We talk about how he was taking care of his dying and now deceased mother during the process of making this movie all the way back to the scripting process.

We discuss the visual effects at length and also speak about his role in the movie as he also acted in it. There's plenty more, so check it out and let me know what you think. Also, don't forget to check out I Dream of a Psychopomp on digital!

Floyd Strayer and Shelley Smartly join me in this fun conversation about their new comedy show The Smartlys.

The Smartlys was born from tragedy, with personal loss fueling this comedic and light-hearted project in hopes to cheer up everyone involved and even more so everyone watching.

Both of the guests were wonderful to speak with and it was such a fun and uplifting chat. I hope you guys have half as good a time as we did, and be sure to check out The Smartlys!

This episode features the multi-talented Bret Lada. Not only did he direct and star in his newest release, The Andy Baker Tape, but with a crew of four, he had his hands in every possible aspect of filming.

The movie is a mockumentary that follows two brothers in a thrilling, horrifying plot that comes to a shocking conclusion you'll have to wait to see for yourself. As Lada says, while he is told there are comparisons in his film to Creep. I also learned that he sees the film as Planes Trains and Automobiles meets The Blair Witch Project.

We had a killer time, and it's a great flick for anyone who loves the found-footage genre. Check out our chat, and be sure to share your thoughts on the interview, as well as who you'd like to hear from next!

I had the chance to sit down and speak with the stars of a new horror film called Dawn, a movie that explores what horrifying possibilities getting into a rideshare vehicle with a stranger could have.

Jared Cohn and Jackie Moore lead the film, and we spoke about their characters, their approach to the roles, and how they initially got involved in the thriller. They shared their inspiration to join the acting world in the first place, and we also talked about the other projects they've been working on.

It was a hilarious and wonderful time between the three of us and it clocks in at just over half an hour, so be sure to grab your popcorn. And don't forget to check out Dawn!

Paget Brewster joins me in this episode, and I couldn't be happier. Not only do we speak about her return as the titular character in Birdgirl after playing the same role back in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, but we also dive into my absolute FAVORITE series, Community, and even touch on Duck Tales.

We talk about how she utilizes her voice for the characters of Birdgirl and Judy, how it was just like riding a bike, and why she thinks you should never binge-watch a show you're in. Now the show is on Season 2, Birdgirl is soaring on Adult Swim, and that is largely due to Paget's excellent performance.

We discuss her work with Danny Pudi on both Community and Duck Tales since they've worked on multiple projects. Asking what universe she'd like to see Birdgirl and Judy travel to that Paget has also acted in, we were united in choosing Community.

This is one of my favorite episodes I've done in a long time, and I really think you will all enjoy it. Be sure to check out Community, Duck Tales, and especially Birdgirl, the latter of which can be seen on Adult Swim.

If you want a fully immersive experience, check out our interview on our Literary Joe Youtube channel, and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe! As always, thanks for listening!

If you enjoy listening to or watching this show, then this episode is a must for you to check out. LeJon Woods joins me in this chat to talk about his phenomenal performances in Baby Oopsie: Murder Dolls and Bring Him Back Dead.

When I saw LeJon's acting in Baby Oopsie, I knew right away that I needed to speak with him, and that's not just because we're from the state as I didn't even know ahead of time!

We chat about the roles he's played as a religious father, what sparked his love for entertainment, his original college trajectory, and how he got involved with these films as well as acting alongside household-named legends like Richard Riehle, Louis Mandylor, Eric Roberts, and the list goes on.

LeJon is an amazing human and an even better actor, so make sure you listen in to hear what he has to say and check out the Youtube video version of this episode. And of course, don't forget to tune in to Baby Oopsie: Murder Dolls and Bring Him Back Dead, both of which are releasing next week!

Social media star Libbie Higgins joins us in this episode to chat about her new leading role acting in Baby Oopsie: Murder Dolls.

While Libbie's videos have gone viral for many different reasons, she is a chameleon when it comes to her role in Murder Dolls. Their personalities are very different and it doesn't take long to learn that.

We also talked a little bit about body positivity and how her past with religion affected her approach to the role. It was a radical time, and I'm sure you guys will love it!

This episode features the hilarious and outrageously talented Scott Kreamer. Though Scott has been on the show once before, we got him back for the project he is promoting now - Season 5 of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

Kreamer is always an excellent guest, so we chatted about his love for Jurassic Park and Michael Crighton's initial novel. We speak about the diversity in the show with characters like Kenji, Sammy, and Darius and why it's so important for the audience to be able to see some of themselves in the human characters despite the thrilling dinosaurs.

Scott speaks about the children have grown over five seasons and what could potentially be in line for their future, even if it's something after the final season. He mentions that this chapter is closing on them, but their capability has grown a lot through the show.

It was an awesome time, and I really hope you guys have fun. Check out the video version on Youtube and the transcript on Comic Book Movie! Stay sassy!

In this chat, I'm joined by two incredible young voice actors - Paul Mikel Williams & Raini Rodriguez. The two play the characters of Darius and Sammy, respectively, in the 5-season long animated series - Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

With the new season right around the corner, we spoke with the actors about their thoughts on the series and its end after this new season. I learned a lot of facts about their careers and what it's like to be such a young actor.

It was an awesome time, and I'm sure you'll love the kids as much as I did! I hope you enjoy, and make sure to look out for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 5 and see how everything comes to a head.

In the meantime you can see our interview on video via the Literary Joe Youtube channel and see the article with the written transcript on Toonado, Comic Book Movie, and SFF Gazette!

This exclusive chat features Shaunt Nigohossian and Peter Hastings, the producers behind the newest Kung Fu Panda project - The Dragon Knight.

The two producers have plenty of experience under their belt, having brought to screen projects such as Blood of Zeus, Kung Fu Panda: Legend of Awesomeness, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, The Killing Joke, and more.

We spoke extensively about what each of them contributed as well as how this project connects and parallels to the original film, as well as Jack Black and the cast staying on as their characters.

Peter, Shaunt, and I had a thrilling chat, and I'm sure you guys will enjoy it as well! Check out the audio version on the Inner Child Podcast, and look out for the article with the interview transcript over on Toonado and Comic Book Movie! Don't forget to check out Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight on Netflix!

This episode features director and writer D.M. Cunningham speaking about horror movies, particularly his new feature, 3 Demons.

We talk about his inspiration to get into the horror business and his love for such creators as John Carpenter. D.M. also chatted about how music affects movies and that he uses that in his films with inspiration from films such as Jaws and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Learning about his passions and inspiration was a killer time, and I hope you guys enjoy it! Be sure to check out 3 Demons and the video version on the Literary Joe Youtube channel. Also, look out for the article with the transcript over on FearHQ.com!

Adam Lawson is back for his third - or fourth, I have a terrible memory - guest appearance on Inner Child Podcast!

Previously we spoke with Adam about his work on directing Escape the Night, his comic publishing company Gifted Rebels, and his music video work, including Snakes On A Plane's Bring It and other Fueled By Ramen-backed bands and songs.

The multi-talented Adam has his hands in everything from games to movies to music videos - but recently, he has also turned his attention to comic books and graphic novels, going so far as to create his own publishing company, Gifted Rebels.

Under his label, he has released the titles The Eighth, The Kill Journal, and Kids and Monsters, but his newest graphic novel may be his most ambitious yet as it is being released with Wesley Snipes, the actor who played the infamous vampire in the Blade trilogy.

The Exiled is the new collaboration between Wesley Snipes and Adam, so we clearly had plenty of questions to ask about what to expect from the upcoming project and what it was like working with Snipes.

The other goodies you'll have to listen to the episode for or check out on the Literary Joe youtube channel. Don't forget you can also see the transcripts and read more about these projects over on ComicBookMovie.com. Enjoy! :)

This episode focuses on the true story of Bowen Hammitt and his battle of being born with half a heart.

Touching, emotional, and more, the film drove me to chat with the documentarian behind the camera and learn a little more about Bowen's family as well as how they prepared for this specific disease.

We also discussed what sorts of things didn't make it into the movie, but in order to find out, you'll have to listen or check the movie out when it drops on July 14th!

I had such a lovely chat with Jennifer Castle about playing the titular role of Riki Rhino in the upcoming animated film.

We chatted about her lack of experience when it comes to vocal performance, her background and potential future as an actress and entertainer, and even about how she is in multiple artists who have added her to their comic books.

Jennifer was wonderful and I think you'll all learn a lot from her intelligent answers not to mention as much fun as we did (don't mind me getting up to shut the air off) so make sure to sit back, pop in the earbuds, and have a radical listen.

This episode is extra fun because we have three guests at once, all to talk about the same film - H.P. Lovecraft's Witch House.

Considering the movie has had a phenomenal reception in Europe, having already won eighteen awards, we brought the crew on the show to figure out what their secret sauce ingredients were.

Joining me is the director, Bobby Easley, who gives lots of information not only on the film itself but also about the building they shot in and the paranormal events that took on a set that was actually haunted.

With us is Ken Wallace who helped to pen the script for the movie. He shares a lot of wise answers when it comes to plot beats and which Lovecraftian elements were involved with the flick.

Michelle Morris plays the lead actress, though you may know her as Portia Chellelen. She talked with us about her experience playing Alice and even if her video and audio were spotty at times, she had a lot of great info to lay down.

It was a killer time so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Today I had an excellent time chatting with actress Lisa Wilcox.

Famous for a number of films, many people recognize Wilcox from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and 5, and while she doesn't do too much horror when it comes to her acting, we actually met up to chat about a new film she's in - and it's a horror/thriller.

The Bloody Man is her new movie, which we also spoke with Tuesday Knight and KateLynn E. Newberry about in previous episodes. The film is very Stranger Things-esque and peppers in a lot of fun with the scary flick.

We also talk about her upcoming film Mystery Spot, another horror movie despite her shying away from the genre, she discusses how important a specific charity foundation is, and we discuss her 15 year absence from the screen to raise her children.

There's something in this chat for everyone so sit back, grab the popcorn, and have a killer time!

Speaking about their new found-footage horror film Infrared, directors Rober Livings and Randy Nundlall took some time to stop by the show and lay down some answers to my questions.

Since this isn't their only film together, I tore into their personal lives to find out how they ended up working with one another, their creative process, as well as what information I was able to glean about their upcoming projects, which wasn't much...

We talked about why they chose to go the found-footage route and how horror has survived the pandemic, the actors in the film and their chemistry with one another, and the nearly two hours of deleted footage.

Take a peek and see what you think and don't forget to check out the full transcript over on FearHQ!

In this episode, I'm joined by Tuesday Knight. She's known for numerous roles but we mostly focus on a couple of her horror bits in this one.

She was in Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and coincidentally the movie she just released, The Bloody Man, also stars Lisa Wilcox, her co-star from the same Freddy Krueger flick.

We talked about her career path, the people she's worked with, and why she loves to tackle character roles so much. It's a great chat and I hope you enjoy it before The Bloody Man scares you away!

The incredibly talented Yulia Klass joins us for this episode, and we learn an awful lot.

Julia isn't from the states and so she had to learn accents when coming here in order to act which was very interesting to hear about, plus she gave us a taste of her Spanish and British dialects that she's working on.

Mainly we talked about Captors, her newest film which focuses on Sex Trafficking from the view of the actual person being taken as well as Stockholm Syndrome and all of the psychosis and trauma involved in being a part of such an event.

Yulia went deep in detail about the research she did for Captors and why the film was and is so important to her. Beyond the film, we also chatted about her last movie, Death Rider In The House of Vampires, in which she acted alongside Danny Trejo and we also talked about her working alongside Bruce Willis right before he ended his career.

Obviously, there's a lot to unpack so the best thing would be to take a listen and keep your eyes peeled for the youtube version to hit next with the full video attached!

In this episode, we're joined by a wrestling expert, which is a good thing because I know absolutely nothing about the sport.

In promotion of next week's upcoming Inked In Blood 2: Dead By Dawn match, Travis Roberts, AKA Stoney Schiavone, steps in to help us understand the differences between indie and pro wrestling.

We talked about the scripting process, how many hats everyone wears to get a single match set up on a monthly basis, and that a lot more time is tasked up behind the scenes than on the camera.

A commentator for the indie wrestling company Ruthless Pro Wrestling in Northwest Ohio, Travis talks about how he got to where he is and his particular love for the career he has chased for years.

Needless to say, I learned a lot. Keep an eye out for the show this weekend on July 2nd in Maybee, Michigan, and be sure to check out Ruthless Pro Wrestling on IWTV.

Actress Sera Barbieri stopped by the show to talk about her role in Potato Dreams of America.

The film is based on a true story and while it is humorous and fun-filled it gives a true look at what it's like to be a child in Russia - at least back then - and travel to the states as the gay son of a mail-order-bride mother.

It's an inspirational flick and I gathered a lot from speaking with her, such as which shots were recorded in which order and why, the festival runs for the movie, and a lot more.

Check it out and be sure to check out Potato Dreams of America which just hit Blu-Ray this week - and if you like what you hear be sure to watch the full video version on the Literary Joe Youtube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7Mbt-lN2g

The wonderful Chloe Traicos spoke with us today!

She is very well known for the documentary she directed when she was younger about the truths of where she grew up - Zimbabwe. Because of this, she could no longer travel from Australia back to where she was born, so she ultimately moved to the states where she took to continue her work in film.

Recently Chloe released Introducing Jodea on VOD as her newest film which is about a terrible actress who strikes a vein of luck by being crashed into by a director, causing the two to clash in an explosive plot leading to them working together to entertain.

Chloe came on to discuss The Righteous Gemstones, which she acts in on HBO MAX. She was the original wife of Walton Goggins in the show and while she can't say she'll be back, there are still open plotlines around her character, and a new season is coming up, so...

We hope you enjoy the chat and be sure to tune into others! Make sure you watch Righteous Gemstones on HBO and take a peek at Introducing Jodea on VOD.

This episode features actress Anja Taljaard in support of her newest film, Glasshouse: Kill or Be Killed. After chatting with director Kelsey Egan about the movie, I was very excited to get Anja's take on what can be quite a confusing horror thriller.

We talked about how Anja initially became a part of the project and what her take on the original script was. Learning that she was asked to read for two separate roles during the audition was more than interesting, so we clearly embellished on that a bit.

Touching on the fun bits, in the beginning, we eventually move into spoiler territory for the movie so be sure to listen for that warning if you haven't yet checked out the movie.

We were able to dig into the real goods and bones of the film once we were off the leash, so it's worth listening to the whole episode at your own risk of plot reveal.

Be sure to check out Glasshouse: Kill or Be Killed, on digital now from Voyage Media!

Today's episode is a bit more special than usual. After interviewing KateLynn E. Newberry in support of Isolated recently, I wanted to reach out to the screenwriter of the film. As it turns out, we aren't only from the same town, but we are actually friends from high school. (What a twist!)

Screenwriter Michael Ferree sat down and indulged me for nearly 45 minutes about Isolated since I had so many questions about the horror-thriller flick and the mystery throughout the movie. I refuse to spoil it, but because of the massive twist in the film, we spend most of the chat talking about the first two acts and then a spoiler section of the show which we properly preface - so have no worries!

While having Michael on we chatted about the three films that he has been working on, and while information is scarcely available on one upcoming movie, we did learn quite a bit about his movie Seven Days 'Till Midnight, so be sure to check that out as well and be sure to check out the brand new release of Isolated on DVD and Digital!

P.S. A like and/or subscription to the channel would be radical.

While many dystopian-based stories seem similar to the general audience, particularly those who follow pandemics - especially now that COVID-19 has made such a big impact on people, the emotion that the coronavirus has brought with us transfers to art.

That's just one of the topics that are brought to life during this awesome chat with the director of Glasshouse: Kill or be Killed, Kelsey Egan. We discuss her newest movie in which the pandemic causes memory to be erased rather than anything more deadly. With such a different piece of art, it's no surprise that the movie got a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kelsey and I talked about her slate of movies coming out - a trio of films including Glasshouse: Kill or be Killed. In addition, The Fix, which Kelsey wrote 9 years ago, is in post-production beyond the slate.

We had a killer time and I think you guys will have a lot of fun so check it out and make sure to let me know your thoughts!

Chatting with model and actress Katelynn E. Newberry we were able to learn a lot about the upcoming sci-fi horror film Isolated before it's released. The movie itself is set to drop in four days and rides almost entirely on Newberry's shoulders as she is, for the most part, the only thespian for the majority of the film.

While the movie is toted to be in the vein of Red Eye or Devil, it also has heavy elements from things such as Westworld that definitely open the genre to a wider audience and tap into a further perspective.

Katelynn just so happens to be the model for the Ohio Lottery, the state which I'm from so we definitely talked about that a little - not that it had to do with the movie, but there was a lot of fun sprinkled in with the business iota. In so many words, we had a killer time, no pun intended. Enjoy yourself and let me know your thoughts -after you subscribe, of course- and be sure to check out Isolated on the 14th for its North American release!

If you've ever wondered how tuned up the antics could get if Spongebob Squarepants has a child twist to it you're in luck and Kamp Koral: Spongebob's Under Years is perfect for you.

To support the new project the voice actors who provide voice performances for Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star, Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke spent some time chatting with me for a bit.

They spoke a lot of the reasons they enjoy Kamp Koral: Spongebob's Under Years, the other adventures they would like to see the young versions of their characters, and the two explain why the dialogue is more important than the pitch of the voice when it comes to expressing age.

Spongebob actor Tom Kenny himself expressed that they jokingly refer to the series of shows as the SBU or the Spongebob Universe, inspired by the MCU. He also explains how much he loves his job and that every day is different because there are Kamp Koral as well as the Patrick Star show both happening in addition to the main series.

It's an incredibly fun chat with two charismatic and intensely fun individuals (three if you count me) and it was legendary to speak with both of them. You guys are going to really love this one so grab the popcorn and kick those legs up, you're headed to Bikini Bottom!

Known for her work on Smash and Wicked professional singer and voice actress Megan Hilty joins us on the show to talk about her character in Trollstopia Season 6.

Since Hilty has been on the show before we were able to build on that foundation and really see how Holly Darlin' and even Megan herself have evolved in the meantime. We discuss a potential spin-off series featuring the characters played by Kelly Clarkson and Hilty herself.

It's a fantastic time and Megan is always filled with laughter, check it out and I hope you enjoy!

Aimee Garcia is a blast in this interview! We talk about her affinity for playing tech-savvy Latina characters and how that continues on to her newest project, Dragons: 9 Realms. We chat about why Aimee decided to join the How to Train Your Dragon franchise and how her character parallels to herself and the character she plays in Lucifer.

Of course, we couldn't go without mentioning Dexter: New Blood, and although the actress confirms she won't be joining the new show this season, she did talk a bit about her connection with the other actors from the series. Aimee even takes a moment to discuss her role in M.O.D.O.K. and talk about her own written comics. She even reads an excerpt from her own Wonder Woman DC comic, and all in all, we had a blast - I'm sure you will too!

The focus of this interview is the newest Marvel film, Eternals. Speaking with Weta Digital's VFX Supervisor and Animation Supervisor Sidney Kombo-Kintombo.

We go into detail about how they did the effects in the film, including Angelina Jolie's character of Thena being CGI apart from her face for the entire film, the evolution of the deviants, the scenes with Arishem, and the focus on each of the Eternals' celestial powers.

Excitingly, we also spoke about the popular mid-credits scene in Eternals in which Harry Styles and Patton Oswalt are introduced as Eros and Pip the Troll respectively. We learned about how the actors were riffing and ad-libbing in the scene and how Patton Oswalt wasn't even short enough - he had to act on his knees!

I think you guys will learn a lot with this one, and Matt and Sidney are awesome guys to speak with and did an incredible job with the cinematics.

To promote Blade Runner: Black Lotus ahead of its Adult Swim premiere, we were able to join in on the press junket and speak with several of the cast members that voice in the new anime series from Toonami and Crunchyroll.

In this chat we spoke with Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist, Star Wars), Stephen Root (Office Space, Get Out), and Will Yun Lee (Altered Carbon). We talk in detail about the voice acting process for each of them as well as their experience with sci-fi roles inspired by Blade Runner itself.

I hope you enjoy it, and be sure to tune into Blade Runner: Black Lotus when it premieres on Adult Swim this Saturday, November 13th!

This interview features the incredibly talented thespian Josef Cannon and we chat about his role in the brand new WWII period piece Hell Hath No Fury and what it was like to be the only person of color in the cast, particularly during the setting of the film.

We also dig into his work on Paul's Promise, another period piece Josef performs in. In this role, however, Josef is portraying a real-life human being, so we discussed how his research differed for both period piece roles and how his headspace changed between the characters.

Josef touches on White Elephant, another upcoming film of his starring John Malkovich and Michael Rooker. We also chat about the prosthetics he used during his time on Star Trek and The Orville, and we even dived into the time someone tried to sell him his own movie on bootleg.

There's a multitude of topics touched on in this episode and we cover a range of conversations that holds a little something for everyone, so I hope you enjoy it. And don't forget to check out Hell Hath No Fury, now in theaters and on VOD.

In this interview, I chat with Spanish artist Fernando Dagnino Guerra, professionally known as Fernando Dagnino. We chat about his brand new graphic novel, Smart Girl, which was released this week from Titan Comics.

Smart Girl was initially published in French and then Spanish before getting an English translation, and this is the first time that the comic will be available to such a wide audience. We chatted about what things might have been lost in translation between the old and new releases and how the dialogue was revised to make the dialect sound more like American English.

Fernando also handles the Blade Runner: Origins project from Titan Comics, and we talk about how he has come full circle as the project was a huge influence and inspiration on Smart Girl, to begin with. He explains a lot about the terms used in the book and where they stem from as well as why he chose the words he made up.

As Fernando also worked under the DC Comics banner, we discussed his time with the publisher and why he chose to branch back out to write his own stories. He also gave us a tease of the thriller he's releasing next year titled Winter Queen.

It was an absolutely informative chat and we had a great time, so I hope you guys enjoy it - and don't forget to check out Smart Girl, on sale now from Titan Comics!

Belgian stunt choreographer, actor, and comic creator Dominique Vandenberg stopped by the show to talk up his latest feature, Hell Hath No Fury. This continues our coverage of the WWII period piece, and while we had Dom we also chatted about some of his projects in the past such as Gangs of New York, Mortal Kombat, and The Honorable.

I spoke to Dom about his experience in the French military and his knife-fighting and martial arts skills, which he used to coordinate stunts and train actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis. We also chatted about The Honorable, a film he made about a character from his own comic book, The Mercenary, and what other plans he has for the graphic novel adaptations in the future.

In this chat, we speak with the directors Clare Knight and Harry Cripps, both of which have roots in animation. They promote Back to the Outback, their new co-directed animated feature that will debut on Netflix in exactly one month - on December 10th.

We dig into why they chose the snake, koala, thorny devil, and the other animals as the protagonists in this film and also touch a bit on the musical aspects of the movie. There's a lot more that we dive into, so I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to check out Back to the Outback on Netflix this December!

In order to celebrate the theatrical and digital releases of Hell Hath No Fury, we caught up with the cast and crew, and in this episode, we chat with the star of the film herself - Nina Bergman!

Set during WWII, Hell Hath No Fury is a period piece and Nina had to have her head shaved and marked by the Nazis while playing a French resistance fighter. We talked about the emotions she was going through in her head when filming punishment scenes that happened in history.

Nina has a wide range in her history of films, having played the first female pilot in another period piece as well as performing much in theater. It's a killer time, and you guys will love it!

Also, don't forget to check out Hell Hath No Fury, which hits digital today!

To continue our coverage and support of the new film Hell Hath No Fury, which hits theaters tomorrow, we've got a brand new chat for you guys with actor Daniel Bernhardt!

Hell Hath No Fury is a period piece set during World War II and Daniel plays a role with a lot of layers that we dig into here while trying to avoid spoilers. The movie itself is filled with action and intrigue, and we had lots to touch on.

Of course, we had to focus a bit on the Matrix, as Daniel is set to reprise his character in the new film after two decades. We touch on that experience and how he wound up back in the fold after all these years, and it was an incredibly informative and wonderful time.

Also, don't forget to check out Hell Hath No Fury, in theaters tomorrow, November 5th, and on digital on November 9th.

To round out our My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission coverage, here's the third chat in the series, this time featuring Rody Soul voice actor Ryan Colt Levy and Flect Turn voice actor Robbie Daymond.

Both of the guys are great, and Robbie's been on the show before talking about playing Spider-Man, so it's a fun time. Meanwhile, Patrick has an intensely low voice, you have to hear it for yourself.

Enjoy the chat and be sure to check out My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission in theaters tomorrow, October 29th!

The incredible Jesse V. Johnson joins me in this chat to speak about his new directorial feature film Hell Hath No Fury, which hits theaters next Friday.

Hell Hath No Fury is a period piece set during World War II that involves a multitude of action and intrigue, and we're talking with the full cast, so we wanted to preface those with the perspective of the director himself.

Since Jesse is also a stunt coordinator and screenwriter in addition to being a director and has worked on a number of projects, so he had a trove of knowledge to share, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Continuing our coverage in support of the new film My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, this chat features voice actors David Matranga and Patrick Seitz, who respectively play the characters of Todoroki and Endeavor.

We had a great time chatting about their experience with the new film as well as the familiar relationship between Todoroki and his father, Endeavor. David also goes into detail about his character's relationship with Bakugou, which pairs perfectly with our prior chat with voice actor Clifford Chapin, who brings Bakugou to life.

Patrick explains the difference to him between this My Hero Academia film versus the series as a whole, and why he thinks the movie equates to ice cream for breakfast.

Enjoy the chat and be sure to head to theaters on Friday, October 29th to see My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission!

This chat features Duane Murray, the creator, and writer of a brand new graphic novel titled Better Place. The book was released today through Top Shelf, an imprint of IDW Comics, and the story focuses on the imaginative adventures of a young boy and his grandpa and how the boy deals with his grandpa leaving him for "a better place".

Duane was an awesome guy to speak with, and I learned a lot about the projects he's acted in as well as what he's shooting now in Montreal. Mostly, though, we talked about the decades-long process that finally brought Better Place to print and the emotional rollercoaster he's currently on.

In support of My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, the newest upcoming film in the franchise, I sat down with the guys who voice the main two heroes in the series - Deku and Bakugou!

This is the second time I've had Justin Briner on the show and the third time Clifford Chapin has chatted with us, so the rapport was easy to get into as we talked about their experience and thoughts on the new film.

Enjoy the chat and be sure to check out My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission on October 29th!

To promote this weekend's Austin Film Festival release of the new movie Time Now, we spoke with lead actress Eleanor Lambert and filmmaker and director Spencer King.

Eleanor is the daughter of Diane Lane, so we touched on her a tiny bit but mostly we dig into her acting experience and what bits on set and in this film were new experiences for her.

Spencer, meanwhile, walks us through the creative process of Time Now and his other projects, and we discussed his life in Detroit and the projects he bases there, including his documentary debut of a late local musician.

It's a great time, and if you dig what they have to say, you'll definitely want to check out Time Now when it hits VOD on the 26th!

The incredibly talented scribe that is Francesco Dimitri stopped by the show for a chat! We talked about his graphic novel Cutting Edge, which is being released by Titan Comics in just over a week!

I learned a ton from Francesco, and I'm certain you will too. If you dig what he has to say, make sure to check out his new comic Cutting Edge from Titan Comics, on sale beginning November 2nd!

This chat is in support of Twitch's Artificial, and actress Emily Morales Cabrera is the woman of the hour!

Emily provides the voice acting and the motion capture performances that embody Ember, the A.I. from Artificial's newest season, Factions. We dug into her experience with the technology and what it was like for her to join a series that features so much interactivity.

It was an amazing experience and I think you guys will have a thrill with this one! Be sure to check out Emily each Friday with new live episodes of Artificial: Factions on Twitch at 5 pm PST!

In support of Season 4 of Twitch's interactive sci-fi series Artificial, appropriately titled Artificial: Factions, I got the awesome chance to chat with Jae Kim, the motion capture and voice actor that brings Kai, the A.I., to life in the show.

Check out what Kim has to say about the process of performing motion capture in a live and interactive setting, and be sure to tune into Artificial: Factions live on Twitch every Friday at 5 PM PST!

Daemon Hillin stopped by the show to discuss and promote his new western feature film Apache Junction which stars Thomas Jane and Trace Adkins. He spoke with us about the business side of the film industry and exactly what he does behind the scenes for the movies he produces. Daemon worked with the late DMX on Fast Vengeance shortly before the rapper/actor passed, so we also spent time learning a little about him as well.

In support of Dreamworks releasing Doug Unplugs Season 2, we spoke with co-executive producer Aliki Theofilopolous. She told us about her experience with regular animation vs computer-generated animation and how the challenges help her navigate the story-telling in a more clever way.

She's also known for her work on Descendants, but she kicked off her career on films like Tarzan, Mulan, and Hercules, so we obviously discussed her time with Disney as well as her career with Dreamworks. Aliki also provides her voice to a character in the series so we got her perspective from several angles and had a great time!

Be sure to check out Doug Unplugs Season 2, now on Apple TV+!

We had the incredible opportunity to connect with multi-talented actor Stephen A. Chang ahead of his debut in the newest season of Artificial. Speaking about his return as Sebastian for Season 4, we discussed how Artificial: Factions differs from previous seasons - primarily the virtual animation and motion-capture additions. With Stephen having provided the mo-cap as well as the voice for Jesse in The Last Of Us II, he was very familiar with the technology being brought in to up the ante in Artificial: Factions. As always, we had a killer time! Make sure you tune into Artificial: Factions every Thursday at 5pm PST on Twitch to weigh in on how the story goes and choose an A.I. to side with.

Rachel Nichols stopped by to promote her upcoming horror/thriller Demigod, in which she leads the cast. The actress spent a good amount of time chatting about her dog before we got into the thick of things, so enjoy! Once we started chatting about her work, Rachel shared her thoughts and takes on a number of projects she has been in. She told me quite a bit about her time on Star Trek, Alias, G.I. Joe, DC's Titans, Continuum, and how all of those things led her to Demigod. Rachel and I are both exceptionally radical, so beware: you're gonna have a great time.

The inimitable director, writer, producer, and innovative creator Bernie Su stopped by to promote Artificial Season 4 - Artificial: Factions - which sees the audience steer two motion capture created virtual AI's, ultimately splitting the viewers down the middle and forcing fans to pick a side.

Bernie walks us through the ways each prior season stepped up the interactivity, and he helps talk us through all the ways he's managed to outdo himself in the newest installments of the series. He talks about how LifeScore will continue to be used to make the music interactive and reactive to the tone the audience sets in the chat.

We also learn that Artificial: Factions will see the return of characters played by Dante Basco, Stephen A. Chang, Jennifer Field, and more, as well as the chances of encountering others from past seasons. Bernie broke down the new currency method which will allow twitch streamers to team up and combine the points they gain from viewing the show to influence how their faction's AI will function and respond, even going so far as to providing upgrades such as "fire hands".

Obviously, we dug in to find out how extensive the motion capture is and how the businessmen played by Basco and Chang will face off in the new episodes. We learned about the virtual AI and what the intent is behind each of them and how they are represented as well as how they represent different members of the viewing audience.

This is an extremely insightful chat, and the third time I've been lucky enough to feature Bernie as a guest. The pilot episode of Literary Joe's Inner Child Podcast featured Bernie as the very first guest on the show, way back when we were restricted to garbage audio quality and no video to include. We managed to snag Bernie again later on in 2020 to discuss the trial of Matt Lin as Season 3 came to a close. And now, more than a year after our first chat, you can finally see Bernie interact (pun intended) with me as we have a wonderful time delivering you the news and updates for Artificial Season 4 - Factions.

We're both pretty rad all around, so I have no doubt you guys will enjoy this. Once you realize how cool Bernie is, be sure to tune into Artificial: Factions on Twitch every Thursday at 5pm PST, starting this week on September 9th.

After we spoke with Sarah Navratil and Drez Ryan who both star in the film, we wanted to direct all of our behind-the-scenes questions for Jennifer. Initially to project had a different name, as she revealed, but that changed for the final production of the horror feature.

She told us all about the numerous teddy bears on the set and the practical effects that went into creating the film. We talked about the casting process as the characters parallel her own daughter and life experience, and she reveals that the role Drez played was written with him in mind.

We learned about Jennifer herself, as she told us about her numerous short films, including her upcoming animated project. She touched a bit on her roles as an actress and her small appearance in this year's Halloween film.

Not only did Drez talk to us about his part in the parasitic teddy bear plot, but he also graciously dug into his theater past and HBO Max future. He teased his big upcoming project, but it was more emotional to discuss his portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. on stage and his hopes to one day play Lenny Kravitz.

We also get the opportunity to talk about the new Green Lantern series on HBO Max that Marc is handling, and he explained how grateful he is to get another crack at the Emerald Knight after his film with Ryan Reynolds didn't end up how he planned.

Katherine Fisher and R.H. Stavis honored us with their time and stopped by the show for a bit to talk up their new short film, Posies.

While R.H. Stavis wrote the script for the thriller/horror short, she and her life/directorial partner Katherine Fisher co-directed the film. With a minimalist cast, the two deliver a heavy metaphor in the form of a beautifully bitter short-form tale.

The plot of Posies is unlike anything else, and as it clocks in at just over fifteen minutes, it's well worth multiple viewings. Kate and Rachel told me about the prosthetic and VFX work that went into the film - particularly the horrifying final scene.

We also learned about a couple of their other projects and more about these wonderful ladies in general so be sure to tune in and check out Posies!

Actor Courtney Gains stopped by the show to talk up his roles, both old and new! He is best known for playing the creepy redhead Malachi in Children of the Corn and his other past roles in films like Back to the Future and Sweet Home Alabama.

It's a great time, so I hope you guys enjoy it. Be sure to check out our other Unchained chats with Rock Riddle, Taya Valkyrie/Franky Monet, Raphaello, Mair Mulroney, and more.

Unchained drops on July 2nd on VOD.

Continuing our coverage on the new action-thriller Unchained, we speak with the star of the film herself, the remarkably multi-talented Mair Mulroney.

Even if Mair wasn't an incredible award-winning actress, she would still be known for being a composer, musician, model, writer, singer, songwriter, and just about anything else that there is to excel at.

Mair shared her experience filming with us while weighing in on some of her co-stars' spectacular performances and their behind-the-scenes techniques. We spoke about how music can translate to script-reading and assist with acting, which her co-star Larry L. Andrews initially brought up.

Mair made the music for Unchained's credits as well, so we made sure to pick her instrumental brain and ask about which came first: the singer or the actress. She tells us about her particular blend of talents and how it helps her to get commercial work in which she can be present on the screen and provide a jingle.

We joke about a potential crossover where she finds her ex-boyfriend in the Solar Opposites wall and what dimension Summer would choose to visit with Rick's portal gun - The Neverending Story.

Talk turns to her father, Frasier and X-Men star Kelsey Grammer, and we discuss why he doesn't watch Rick and Morty, and we even cook up a jestful scheme that would see the actor play Summer's father from a different dimension, as Frasier.

An idealistic woman is kidnapped and forced to compete in an underground fight ring. Every night is a fight for her life as she plans to overthrow her captors and save the lives of many others doomed to the same endless cycle."

In addition to providing the directing on Unchained, it was also co-written by Raphaello. We talk all about the film's score, the inspiration from Max Payne's bullet-time slow-mo for the fight scenes, and even touched on his other upcoming feature, The Year of Laughing Dangerously, and how the two films vastly contrast.

Raphaello dives into his love for pro-wrestling, and we discuss why the medium should be given more attention, especially by those enamored by comic books and superheroes. We learned about his time in theater and why he has chosen to pursue film as a story-telling medium, and we had hella fun.
