Discussion : Sage Hyden : Writing Complex Characters and Teen Identity Aug 09, 2018

Show notes

Today in the Watchtower, we welcome Sage Hyden, the writer and video essayist behind the Just Write Youtube channel. With videos on Star Wars, the MCU, Batman, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and so many other great films and television series, Sage does an incredible job analyzing the writing and storytelling techniques of visual media. With amazing deep dives similar to our Canary Debriefs, his work strives to not only help us understand stories better but to hopefully help us become better writers along the way.

Discussion : Robert Segarra : Spitfire and Relationships in RPGs Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

Today in the Watchtower, we welcome Robert Segarra, one of the amazing minds behind Nerds on a Roll. Besides being a comics, animation, and tabletop RPG fan, Robert is the founder and editor of Nerds on a Roll where he also plays the Golden Glove in the incredible actual play podcast Heroes of Halcyon City. Robert and the rest of the NOAR team have created an amazing show with an engaging story that I absolutely adore listening to every other Tuesday and I'm so excited to have him on our show to talk about another group of super teens in the form of Young Justice.

Super Sweethearts : Chalant Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to the Cave, everyone, and welcome also to the third installment of "Super Sweethearts," the series where heroes hold hands and we all know smoochie moments are important. Here, I'll be talking about teen heroes in love and diving into the romantic arcs on the show and what we can learn as creators about portraying relationships in fiction.

Today we'll be talking about a pair of young heroes with an affinity for wordplay. Chalant! (Or Dick Grayson and Zatanna Zatara for the uninitiated.) And as a quick spoiler warning before we dive in, I will say that I'll be talking about who ends up with who and how we get there, so be prepared from spoilers on that front.

As always, you can get in touch with us on Twitter @theYJfiles, on Facebook /crashingthemode, on our website www.crashingthemode.com, on Tumblr at theyjfiles.tumblr.com, and at our e-mail address whelmedpodcast@gmail.com. Don't forget to #KeepBingingYJ and #BuyYJComicsOnComixology (there are actually some really cute SuperMartian moments in the comics if you want to check them out), and to tune in soon for the next episode of the Young Justice Files. And remember (smoochies moments are important!) and Stay Whelmed!
