Episode 353 - CNI One-Shot! SDCC TV Special: Chuck, Fringe, Grimm, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil!

Comic News Insider: Episode 353 is now available for free download! Click on the link or get it through iTunes! Sponsored by Dynamic Forces.

It's our San Diego Comic-Con TV special! Okay, okay. I KNOW that Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a movie, but it was the last interview left from SDCC and I wanted to throw it in this episode. CNI correspondents Megan Fischer and Melissa Bleier took care of these interviews for your listening pleasure. The sound is a bit rough on a couple as one event was outdoors and some of the roundtable rooms were quite loud. Still, they got some great questions in and did an awesome job. Megan sat in on the roundtables for both Chuck and Fringe while Melissa covered the Grimm roundtable and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil red carpet.  Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love!

Comic News Insider: Episode 350 is now available for free download! Click on the link or get it through iTunes! Sponsored by Dynamic Forces.

It's our San Diego Comic-Con movie special! Jimmy interviewed the cast of Sushi Girl and attended press conferences for Knights of Badassdom and Fright Night.  The Sushi Girl interviews were 2 cast members at a time in a hallway at the Marriot Marina. Personal and intimate and fun! Knights of Badassdom was a big press conference so Jimmy just put the digital recorder on the table. You can hear the actors fine and the director repeats questions from the audience. Fright Night was a bit short and sound is kind of low. Still, some fun stuff with the cast! Hope you enjoy!
