This is the infamous “lost” first episode. I’ve been kind of lazy lately and so it’s come to this; posting one of our first recordings. Here we talk about such current films as 300, The Good Shepard the Leprechaun and Conan Continuity. Then we talk about what makes a “good” creator of a franchise or show. This leads us to talk about George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, Genndy Tartakovsky, and Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
