Wild Life with Baron Vaughn Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

A double, nay, TRIPLE whammy of guests in today's episode as we chat with Alexis Loinaz about some movie delays and acknowledge Jackie's devastation over the news of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance being canceled by Netflix. But fret not! Because in their place is SYFY's new show Wild Life starring Baron Vaughn, who sheds some light onto the process of becoming an animated fox. Spoiler alert: cunning not required. We top it all off with a preview of our conversation with Alitha Martinez, one of the comic books artists behind DC Comics' Represent.
