  • Just Greatness!

    At the Ripe old age of 52 I have become a fan of comics again. The interviews I have heard on this podcast have taken me back to my early years. I feel like I am getting to appreciate the people behind the scenes that I didn’t even know we’re creating my childhood memories. Thank you does not seem adequate, but it will have to do for now. Thank You!!!

    Comic Book Central is a very well produced show that impresses with a knowledgable host, a broad variety of genre properties covered, and most importantly, interesting interviews with performers and creators who you'd sometimes be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Quality work and worth your time.

    20 mins in to an episode and all there has been is TV show clips, commercials, and tons of internet links. In a 60 min episode there is hardly room for content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

520: Felicia Day! (Pt. 2)
Q: What sparked your move from web series to comics and stage performances?
A belief that communities formed online could be expanded through comics and live performances; I wanted to extend ownership and access to fans across multiple formats, keeping the work personal and audience-driven.
520: Felicia Day! (Pt. 2)
Q: How should someone approach making a feature with limited budgets today?
Leverage simple, scalable production methods, reuse sets in your home, and prioritize good sound and practical effects; the core is storytelling and community rather than expensive tech.
520: Felicia Day! (Pt. 2)
Q: What advice would you give to creators right now?
Emphasize storytelling in short, test out ideas on accessible platforms like TikTok, and use available resources (such as on-device filming) to prototype; focus on personal, authentic stories you can execute with what you have at hand.
519: Felicia Day! (Pt. 1)
Q: What was it like moving to Hollywood after college and landing Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
It was a pivot moment; she faced early career struggles but found her niche within genre projects and built a sense of belonging on Buffy's set, which helped her understand the value of community in a career.
519: Felicia Day! (Pt. 1)
Q: What fandom was Felicia Day into growing up in Alabama and how did that shape her career?
She loved books and classic cinema, was inspired by Tolkien and mystery novels, and felt little to no geek culture around her, which later fueled her drive to create communities and stories that speak to fans.
