Episode 429 - SDCC: The Following!

Comic News Insider: Episode 429 is now available for free download! Click on the link or get it through iTunes! Sponsored by Dynamic Forces.

Jimmy sat down with the cast and producers of the upcoming new Fox TV show The Following. Another sort of "off topic" show but hope you don't mind. It's SDCC and there's so much to cover. Why not a few non-nerdy things?  Stars Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy, Shawn Ashmore and producers/directors Kevin Williamson and Marcos Siega sat down to chat about what to expect with the show. Intriguing concept of a serial killer running a cabal of admirers to do his evil deeds. For the record, Jimmy is now only 1 degree of Kevin Bacon!

Jimmy sat down with the cast and creator of the hit AMC show Breaking Bad. Yes, I know. It's not really in the "nerd" realm of stuff we normally cover on CNI. But, as I mentioned in shows past, SDCC is a place where we can cover things that aren't normally covered since they are all there. Plus, I know plenty of you watch this show too! Bryan Cranston, Anna Gun, RJ Mitte, Aaron Paul, Bob Oedenkirk, Jonathan Banks,  Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt and creator Vince Gilligan all sat down and chatted about the current and final season. Great insights into the characters and story. Spoilers do abound if you're not caught up! Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love!

Jimmy sat down with the cast and creators of the upcoming stop motion animated feature Paranorman. Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kodi Smit-McPhee provide some of the voices in the film and you hear them chat about their process and the excitement they had doing it. Christopher particularly comes across like a guy you want to have a beer with and Anna is really, really funny! Producer Arianne Sutner and Production Designer Nelson Lowry talk about the design of the zombies and the craft of stop motion.  Lead Animator/Producer Travis Knight, Director Sam Fell, and Writer/Director Chris Butler expand on the stop motion technique and why they used it.
