The final piece of the Marvel.com team has arrived on Episode 120 in the form of its Assistant Editor Marc Strom. Marc lives on the west coast which means his job primarily revolves around the latest from Marvel’s toys, video games, television and film developments. With the highly anticipated release of Marvel’s The Avengers this summer, Marc is a very busy man. We also talk about traffic conditions in Los Angeles and Marc details how he almost ran into Samuel L. Jackson with a foam rock. Enjoy.
You can find the latest Marvel happenings, including the ‘This Week in Marvel’ Podcast at Marvel.com and be sure to follow Marc on Twitter @Strommy.
This week I’m joined by Activision’s Social Media Manager, Dan Amrich. You might think that this position is only meant for a corporate mouth piece with no personality; after listening to this podcast, I’m sure you will have a different opinion. We discuss Dan’s career at Official Xbox Magazine (OXM), GamePro, and something called the “Bobby Phone”; and that’s just the first hour.
Our discussion “concludes” over the topic of culture. Gaming culture, gamer culture, and the culture of the industry and where it could be this time next year.
There’s A LOT to get to in this one, but as much as this was a joy to record, it will be a fantastic listen. Enjoy.
When I found out that Kerri’s (@sixuntilme) husband wrote the screenplay for a major motion picture, I knew I wanted to get him on my podcast. Believe it or not, there was a moment before Sundance that I was going to have Chris Sparling on my podcast. Then the movie premiered, was picked up my Lionsgate and the next thing I knew it, every movie I went to see this summer had a preview featuring Ryan Reynolds in a coffin. Lucky for me, Chris was able to spend some of his busy schedule talking with me about the experience of getting his film made and about his other happenings in the film industry. Do yourself a favor: listen to this podcast, go see Buried, and then if you have time…listen to this podcast again.
