Episode 12 - Phil Hester

With a resume almost too long to list, Mr. Phil Hester has worked for almost every comic publisher out there and has worn almost every hat that can be worn.

Writer? Check. Artist? Check. Cover Artist?!? Checkaroo. Inker?!?! Checkity Check Check.

Also add to that impressive list: colorist, penciler, and bar bouncer.

Okay, okay, Mr. Hester wasn't a bar bouncer (or was he?) But he did bounce our boredom away with this great interview!

It was our pleasure to have met Mr. Hester at O Comic Con, and also our pleasure to bring you this special episode!

Episode 10 - Ande Parks

Whist attending O Comic Con, Bart and Eddie were super lucky to have been seated next to to creative powerhouse that is Mr. Ande Parks!

This gentleman does it all!! Writer, artist, and inker, Mr. Parks figuratively (and literally) wears a bunch of different hats!

He wrote for such title as: Green Horner, Daredevil, Lone Ranger, and more!

He was an artist/inker for such titles as The Irredeemable Ant-Man, Green Arrow, Superman, and more!

Having sat next to the man and watching him create original pieces of art was truly amazing, and I'm still buzzing from being able to sit with and talk with such a creative and approachable man.

Mr. Parks was an absoute blast and it was our honor to have him as a guest on the podcast!

Enjoy the episode!

Prepare yourself for pure amazement as we continue to bring you episodes from our amazing weekend at O Comic Con!

On this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with Amanda Peck, director of the upcoming indie film "Family Covenant"

A band struggling to make it big sets off into the woods for some inspiration, and what they find isn't quite what they were planning on...

Written and directed by Amanda Peck, this film is her first film project which for the premier is being screened at the one and only Alamo Drafthouse Omaha!!

Not too shabby for a first time stab at a film project huh?

(Speaking of "stab" you may want to leave the kiddos home for this film as it's scary in nature)

Get all your info on "Family Covenant" here!! And thank you Amanda for being so stinking cool!!
