Special #27 - Discussing 'Sparrow' with Lindsey Stirling at SDCC 2017 Aug 04, 2017

Show notes

Just before Pam left San Diego Comic-Con 2017, she had the opportunity to catch up with electric violinist Lindsey Stirling! Stirling, who's known for fusing her music with stunning visuals, has been working hard on her first ever comic book series, 'Sparrow,' and we had a great time learning about what it took to bring the upcoming six-part series to life!

Show Notes: - Pam and Lindsey hop right to it as Lindsey tells us about how writing for comic books was actually not so different from making up stories for her own music videos. - Like all great stories, ‘Sparrow’ started with a small idea. Lindsey talks us through how one track in particular inspired her first foray into comic book writing. - Like her music videos, comic books are all about how the visual stories come to life. Lindsey explains what it was like to watch the artist for ‘Sparrow’ sketch out the characters she’s come up with. - We talk about the general plot of ‘Sparrow’ and how light versus dark play into the plot. - Lindsey also explains her longterm fascination with the symbolism of light and darkness, and how she interprets the main source of conflict that ‘Sparrow’ presents. - Music isn’t the only thing that inspired ‘Sparrow.’ Lindsey tells us about some of her favorite fantasy stories and which she looked to for reference when creating her own world. - She also teases a few easter eggs peppered throughout the six-part comic book series that are sure to please longtime fans! - We talk a bit about one very special character set to make an appearance in the comics. Lindsey also explains the importance of making sure each character had a fleshed out backstory. - Is there hope for more stories from this particular universe? The answer is maybe! - We wrap things up with a few fun topics, including Harry Potter, our favorite thing about SDCC, and of course, ask Lindsey to join in our signature How We Hype segment to find out what she’s been enjoying in the realm of pop culture!

Be sure to pick up a copy of the first issue of Lindsey Stirling's 'Sparrow' when it drops November 2017!

Hype Special #26 - Sense8 Season 2 and Beyond Jul 10, 2017

Show notes

Sense8 had its second season premiere, then got cancelled, then announced a two-hour special all in less than two months!

It’s been a whirlwind ride for Sense8 fans, and we know the Netflix cancellation and subsequent special announcement has taken its toll on everyone.

To break down all the craziness, Sense8 superfan Kyle returns to Hype for this special all about Sense8 season 2 — and beyond! We’re also introducing two first-time Hype hosts: Brandi and Nasim.

Shownotes: – Introductions! Meet your new hosts and welcome back an oldie. – Character Discussion: There’s so much to talk about, so we broke it down by character. In order of Wolgang, Kala, Sun, Riley, Capheus, Will, Nomi, Lito – Big questions we need the wrap-up special to answer: – How does the birthing of a cluster work? – Will Wolfgang live? – Most importantly, will the special be affected because they probably won’t be able to travel everywhere they need and they’ll probably have to spend WAY less money?

Send in your thoughts, the hosts would love to hear ’em!
