Character Reveal

We're back and talking with Conrad Zimmerman, of the internet and video games! We went over so many things: There was movies and storytelling, then storytelling in games, a shift gears to underrated shows, aspirations and life paths. We also talked about what not to do at energy plants, copyright struggles and optimism. Also, we mention some election stuff as this was recorded weeks ago. It's around 56 minutes if you're burnt out from all that and lasts about 3-4 minutes. As well, we talk about some alcholism towards the end, but follow it with a related story to take the edge off. Explicit language on this one. You can find Conrad on Twitter: @ConradZimmerman You can also hear him on FistShark Marketing at: fistshark.com Follow us @CharacterRev on Twitter and find us on Facebook!

Definitely explicit language in this one. Last week was a hard one and we needed to vent some. Of course we discuss the election, so if that's been too stressful for you, please skip most of the first segment (go to about 14:50) But other than that! We talk about SNL, have some long anime talks, talk about Pacific Rim, and the Hamilton Mixtape. We managed to pull some fun into this one, and there's great music as always!

Aw yeah, we're back from vacation. Recorded this past Sunday. We definitely had a good time, laughed and joked, and got a bit...ridiculous and personal. But, DC Movies seem to be getting out of their slump, comics are still weird, Dom's Phone Saga seems to be coming to an end, and representation is standing strong. Good news, right?
