Episode 16 – Wizard People! Part 2!

ep16_cover

It’s our SIXTEENTH episode!
It’s a kind of magic!
I’m back with Sam and Ben to get more into Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, the world of Harry Potter, the striking similarities to Doctor Who and the Marvel Universe, and lots more!
Thrill as Sam acts like Doctor Who is somehow more ridiculous than Harry Potter!

Episode 9 – Hollywood Gossiper & The SDCC Scuttlebutt

Ep9_cover

It’s our NINTH episode! Wherein returning champion, Randy (aka Randall Trang) is back to talk about what a big day DC had Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con 2016!

We say it’s going to be a “mini-sode” but it is not at all! It is a full-length extravaganza episode!

We talk about Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Justice League, why it’s okay that Batman is so scary, how great Robin is, all the behind the scenes Hollywood gossip you crave, and a few valuable life lessons about not focusing on the negative, and how good it feels to block people on social media!

Once again, I must implore you: Go to randalltrang.com for easy to click on links to all of Randy’s various social media accounts, his great artwork and comics, and awesome videos of him breaking things!

Watch these trailers!

I did this video for Comics Alliance: about the baddest “Darths” in Star Wars! Check it out:
