HTP Episode 162 – Mike Dolce

Michael Dolce come to talk about SIRE: Origins, his compelling indie comic about a reluctant superhero forced to fight crime against his will. Not only do Michael and I discuss his comic, but we delve into 90s comic tropes (are they classic stuff, sorry tropes, or both?) and how to get started when you’re a young kid with a lot of love for comics. He also has a great deal of insight into what it takes to get a finished book out into the world as an indie creator.

You can follow Michael and Sire Studios on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, and Sire’s Official Website.

HTP Episode 161 – Lisa N. Alexander

Lisa N. Alexander is a filmmaker assembling the independent project My Father the Queen. The movie tells the story of a black family in the 1960s, led by a father who is a member of the LGBTQ community. The story reflects, not only his personal struggles, but the impact his identity has on his family and community. In Lisa’s words, the story frames his conflict from a mental health perspective, and she and I spend time talking about how mental health has been reflected in film historically. With My Father the Queen in pre-production, Lisa describes her efforts in putting together her script and lining up the business end of filmmaking—certainly not the most rewarding part of independent filmmaking, but one of the most crucial.

Be sure to support the crowdfunding campaign for My Father the Queen at IFundWomen.com. Follow Lisa on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and her official website.

HTP Episode 160 – Zach Howard

Zach Howard is a comic book illustrator who has worked for Marvel, DC, and IDW… but his current project is an Image collaboration called Moonshine Bigfoot. A swamp-dwelling Sasquatch embarks on a high-speed adventure when his latest batch of hootch gets the attention of… someone powerful! Zach and I agree it’s kind of ‘Dukes of Hazzard Meets X-Files’.

We also get into some pretty creator-centric chat about the importance of crowdfunding to indie comic projects, and how ideas like this are going to keep the comics hobby healthy as it changes in the 21^st century.

Be sure to check out the Kickstarter for Moonshine Bigfoot! If you can’t get to it in time, grab it after the fact!

Marc Morales (last seen on HTP episode 105) returns with an update on his film 521 North Main Street. He and his team have finished production, navigated the treacherous waters that come with post-production, and have found an editing team to bring the whole process to a conclusion. In this chat, Marc and I reflect on the pains of being a first-time filmmaker and how important it is to have faith in the abilities of your team.

HTP Episode 087 – Deana Dolphin Returns!

“Captain” Deana Dolphin comes back to Hungry Trilobyte (after first appearing in Episode 23) and is eager to report on the #MakeMoreMST3K Kickstarter campaign!  Yes, MST3K finally has its Season 13 on the horizon, and the fans have a chance to make this more than just a show running on a network.  Joel has decided to build “The Gizmoplex” and create a streaming service that’ll cater to MST3K fans, as well as provide us all with some amazing new resources.

In this episode, we speculate on what sort of features Joel could add to the Gizmoplex, and try and compare how this reflects on the power of the fandom now, compared to the way it was when the show ended after Season 7.  And 10.  And 12.

Be sure to check out the Kickstarter HERE and support new MST3K!

HTP Episode 057 – Mike James, “UKMike”

Mike James aka UKMike, is the author of the upcoming book, ‘Smoke and Mirrors: The Rise and Fall of a Serial Antipreneur”. The book is a dissection of the Coleco Chameleon farce of 2015, when hobbyist Mike Kennedy attempted to bluff his way into a $2 million Kickstarter for a new game console, despite having no skills, technology, or (quite frankly) common sense. Mike and I give a basic history of the story for the benefit of newcomers, and share some of our personal opinions of when the story went from bad to worse.

Smoke and Mirrors has its own website, and the Kickstarter page is here.  Follow the Twitter account to check the progress of the new saga!

If you’d like to read about the scandal in real-time, back from the original sources, you can follow the original announcement thread on AtariAge.  Don’t forget the follow-up thread about the Coleco Chameleon.

UKMike is a regular on the Retro Gaming Roundup Podcast.
