Gil: The MUTANT SEASON

So my middle son Gil has a Nerdist Industries podcast and his own twitter account. He learned about entertaining and putting on shows from Mo Fathelbab and the NerdMelt crew over the Summer break in 2011. He wasn’t sent to camp or participated in other seasonal activities because hanging at Meltdown Comics and the NerdMelt Theater was all he wanted to do. Katie Levine, who produces podcasts for Chris Hardwick, spotted Gil when he was on Mo and DC Pierson’s Nerdy Secrets show. She gave him a test run and it went beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, more than 10 episodes in, “The Mutant Season with Gil” is picking up steam and picking up followers.

Please take the time to check out some of my son’s past shows. Hope you find them to your liking. If you do, please “Like”, follow and/or comment on iTunes: https://bitly.com/itunesTheMutantSeason

Do you consider yourself to be Gen X? Do you associate the cartoons of your childhood with happy nostalgia? Did you wake up with manic glee early on Saturday morning to watch these cartoons, and then feel let down when noon hit and I Love Lucy began playing? Come to Meltdown Comics, where Steven Daily presents a plethora of contemporary artists’ re- imaginings and mind-edits of your FAVORITE ’80′s cartoons. You may even be able to take one of these treasures home, where it will NEVER turn into re-runs of Gilligan’s Island and Bewitched!

Sex Pot Punk Funk: Comics rockstar Jim Mahood’s new superhero ‘Marijuanaman

The now familiar complaint at Comic-Con International is that the event has become too much about movie stars and not enough about comic-book creators. But Hollywood’s obsession with the massive San Diego expo may not be a bad thing for comic writers and artists — the relationship is, of course, reciprocal. In-demand comic-book creators are now getting “star treatment” at the convention — and not just by their loyal readers.
