Worlds collide and universes are shattered as we make it official! Sam “the Hammer” Humphries is welcomed as the newest permanent member for the Meltcast (and the internet couldn’t be happier).
To celebrate, we bring aboard a double shot of guests for your listening pleasure! First off, we welcome Michael Holmes (adapter), Ryan Johnson (musical director), and Marz Richards (the devil) of the Sacred Fools Theater Company (sacredfools.org) to discuss their current show: FORBIDDEN ZONE: LIVE IN THE 6TH DIMENSION, a stage adaptation of Richard and Danny Elfman’s 1982 video cult classic. They also keep us posted on the status of SERIAL KILLERS, MAGNUM OPUS (literal performances of the worst screenplay ever found) and the upcoming and first-ever Hollywood Fringe Festival.
In the second segment we lose our collective shit and welcome a unified Meltcast favorite as Joshua Dysart, writer of UNKNOWN SOLDIER from Vertigo Comics joins the discussion! We talk the recent heartbreaking news of the series’ upcoming cancellation, his plans for ending the story, and upcoming projects like the final completion of BUDDHA (Liquid Comics) and the upcoming NEIL YOUNG’S GREENDALE (Vertigo) with Cliff Chiang on art duties.
Many bothans died and even more tears were shed to bring you this information.
Meltcast 021 March 24th, 2010
We’re boiling over with guests on this jam-packed edition of Meltcast! We welcome aboard writer/director Ben Ross who penned BELLADONNA from IDW in the first segment, and then bring aboard Marz Richards and Jaime Robledo, members of the Sacred Fools theater company based in Los Angeles, for a discussion of comics, theatre, performance, and what really goes on after hours at comic-con. In the meantime (and in-between time), we hit some of the weeks big releases, including THE GUILD, SCALPED, HUNTER’S FORTUNE, and of course, the one, the only, NEMESIS from Millar and McNiven.
