Many moons ago I was invited to participate as a guest host on my friend Jonathan London’s web series Geekscape, a place for all nerdom, geekdom and awesomedom!

The segment was over an hour long and much was discussed, but I’ll keep it under 11 minutes so you can just get an idea of the show… which is awesome, and by awesome, I mean totally sweet.

I’ll add more segments as the days go by, and this one does end a bit abruptly, but I think you’ll all enjoy us geeking out, discussing Dragon Fire, my animated series, the writer’s strike and how silver underwear gets you action after watching movies about rape.  But more on that later!

I wish I could celebrate the bold use of camera, set design and staging.  I wish I could throw this film around, shouting to everyone that it’s a must see, because that’s what I heard.  But I can’t.  Done in one shot, which is impressive, the film is practically unwatchable.  Why?  Because there’s no story.  Nothing to grab on to.  You don’t care about a single individual because they’re nothing more than two-dimensional buffoons!  In fact, I found it Read more »
