The Creature Commandos trailer is here!

As James Gunn and Peter Safran power ahead with their new DCU, one of the shows I have been most excited about is their animated TV approach to "Creature Commandos". When I first saw the teaser a few months back, I was excited to see Weasel and Doctor Phosphorus, characters I wasn't expecting to be in this show from reading the comics. As this new trailer dropped today, my excitement for this series has grown even more!


The series is written by James Gunn, which blows my mind considering he has already been pulling double duty writing and directing the new "Superman" movie, as well as Season 2 of "Peacemaker". While there have been sceptics of Gunn's role, I personally am a big fan of his work and really love the way he writes. He's one writer I always suggest for people to read if they want to write screenplays. 

"Creature Commandos" begins streaming on MAX on December 5th! Check out the trailer below.

Podcast Hiatus for Filming

Hi everybody! I wanted to make sure everybody knew that the podcast was going to be on hiatus until December. Today if our first official prep day in the production office for our new feature horror film, "Demonetize". After working on this film for the past two years it seems unreal that we are finally going to start filming at the end of the month. The cast we have put together is phenomenal and I cannot wait to be able to share this film with everybody down the line. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for new podcast episodes coming in December!

Episode 218 - Rob Kutner Returns! (Again)

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON APPLE PODCASTS HERE

On today's episode of the podcast, I have 5x Emmy winner and Grammy winner, Rob Kutner!

Rob Kutner

Rob has been on the show a number of times as we writer for CONAN, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for his comic books "Shrinkage" and "Snot Goblins", and today he joins me to talk about the new animated show he's the head writer of called, "God's Gang". Since Rob's departure from CONAN, he dove head on into animation. While "God's Gang" does center around religion's co-existing and working together, even if you are a non-religious person like me, it is still a very enjoyable show for all. 

I talked with Rob on the episode about getting into animation, the adjustment to writing for late night to animation, truth in comedy, how he became involved with "God's Gang", positive comments on the internet (WHAT?!), and so much more!

A huge Thank You to Rob for taking the time to come on the show to talk about "God's Gang". I always have such a great time talking to Rob about his new ventures. You can follow Rob on all of the links and actually watch an episode of God's below!

(Due to the live recording elements there unfortunately are some audio issues during the episode.)

On today's episode I am coming to you LIVE from San Diego Comic-Con with Disney Animator and storyboard artist, Peter Paul Bautista! 

Peter Paul Bautista

I was so excited to have Peter Paul join us for this year's SDCC show. When I was first introduced to Peter Paul from Mike and JB at From North to Wharf we hit it off immediately chatting via social media and I knew he would be a lot of fun to talk to on the show about the incredible animation career he's built working on some incredible movies and tv shows. 

Peter Paul working on How to Train Your Dragon

I talked with Peter Paul about how he got his start in animation, losing a graphic design job at an engineering & oil company and stumbling into animation from there. Finding his first animation job as an inbetween artist on Space Jam, working on Clerks: The Animated Series and having no idea who Kevin Smith was, working on Mission Hill, finding his next job on The Tigger Movie, staring to work on movies and shows with Bento Box, such as the Bob's Burgers Movie and Krapopolis, and so much more!

Tim and Peter Paul during the show

A huge Thank You to Peter Paul Bautista for taking the time to join us in San Diego for the show! It was so much fun getting to know Peter Paul during this episode. Also a Thank You to his friend Rachel who snapped some photos for us during the show. A big thank you to Mike and JB of From North to Wharf for helping connect me with Peter Paul. Please make sure to follow Peter Paul on all of the links below. Thank you to the staff at San Diego Comic-Con for always being so amazing to us.
