Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 59 ratings
  • You’ll find them in the dictionary under “charming”

    Phil & Eric are entertainment machines who cover everything from 20th century darlings, foreign masterpieces, and lesser known films like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. You may not think you want to hear a random cosplayer or streamer’s story but their witty banter, lack of sports knowledge, and willingness to learn nothing will immediately hook listeners. It’s just too bad they don’t understand CINEMA and can’t appreciate Studio Ghibli or Godzilla.

  • The Go-to Podcast for Pop Culture!

    Eric & Phil do such a great job each episode covering everything Pop Culture: video games, tv series, movies, etc. They have a great banter together and the shows never fail to entertain me. Some of my favorite series they produce are “What Did I Miss?” and “Why you should watch -blank- in Less Than 10 Minutes!”

Daemons of the Shadow Realm Cast Interviews (Bold Matsuri 2026)
Q: What impact do you hope your work has on representation in animation and anime in the United States?
I want to create a space where American storytellers can explore manga- and anime-inspired narratives safely and collaboratively, giving a platform to diverse voices and helping aspiring talents see themselves reflected in these roles.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm Cast Interviews (Bold Matsuri 2026)
Q: What are some of your favorite things about this property Daemons of the Shadow Realm and what about the world stands out to you?
I love that the show blends a high-energy, over-the-top world with deeply human emotions. Yudu's duality—being a fierce hunter yet experiencing the world for the first time—offers rich moments for so many relatable experiences.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm Cast Interviews (Bold Matsuri 2026)
Q: You've gone from borrowing Dragon Ball manga from friends to now being in the industry. What's that been like?
It's been surreal and incredibly rewarding to see the progression from a kid borrowing manga to working professionally. Mentors who taught me the craft and gave me opportunities have shaped my career, and I try to pass that guidance along to others.
Danny Trejo vs The Four Horseman: The Story Behind 'Year Of The Devil' with Keith Arem
Q: Why choose the graphic novel medium for a story this expansive and centuries-spanning?
The graphic novel format allows a visually rich, historically grounded world with distinct visual identities for each century, enabling fans to engage deeply with a multi-era narrative and easily expand into gaming, animation, and other media.
Danny Trejo vs The Four Horseman: The Story Behind 'Year Of The Devil' with Keith Arem
Q: What is the elevator pitch for Year of the Devil and what makes it original?
The project is a five-issue graphic novel that merges Aztec and Mayan mythologies with biblical horror and a grindhouse action vibe, centered on Diego de Rojas who reincarnates across centuries to confront the four horsemen, using a story and format that invites fans to own and collect the experience through a multi-format franchise.
