1) promo inspired by and ripped from a classic ad you may have seen in those old comic books. Dangerous stuff, kiddies! Dangerous! Twelve years dungeon!
2) We have another clip this week. This comes from Jim Trombetta, author of The Horror! The Horror! It was a lot of fun interviewing Jim. He has a great and unique perspective on things, and when you give him the ball, he runs with it! I know it was fun for me and the crew to listen to Jim and to really just follow wherever he wanted to take us in the conversation.
3) Also, don’t forget… We have a big week coming up. On Tuesday, we will be interviewing James Reibman, and on Wednesday we will be with David Hajdu. Big ideas, and big days for the picture.
