Interview: Lady Bird Star Saoirse Ronan
This interview originally aired on WKAI FM Macomb, IL. Actress Saoirse Ronan is among the frontrunners to win Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance in Lady Bird. Written and directed by Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird stars Ronan as an iconoclastic teenage girl who clashes with her straight-laced mother, played by Laurie Metcalf, while trying to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life. Ronan’s performance is remarkable in the way she transforms from a 24-year-old Irish woman into a 17-year-old from Sacramento with flawless detail.

Designing 'The Defenders:' Costume Designer Stephanie Maslansky on How Classic Comics are Adapted
Marvel's Netflix shows have been a remarkable success. They're darker than your standard MCU fare, edgier and more brutal, adapting some of the most intense comic book stories of all time, such as the Punisher's bloody rampage in prison and Jessica Jones struggling to deal with the manipulative Kilgrave. Some of the most powerful comic book characters have been faithfully adapted for this dark corner of the MCU, and fans are loving it.

Right in the Feels! ~ #3 Things You Should Know About Tisha Eaton
So being new to the site, I have already met a few people who I have gotten to know and have been enjoying talking to, both in the group and through messaging on Facebook. One such person is John Carter, who so graciously decided to give me my first "interview" to let you have a little insight into who I am, and some of the stories that have shaped me into the woman that I am today. Without further ado, here are my answers to questions that he thought would be good to ask (and since they hit close to home, I apologize in advance for the length)

Scooby-Doo, Gene Simmons & Nostalgia OH MY! - An Interview with Kevin Shinick
I grew up in the late 80s & early 90s. My childhood was overloaded with classic rock, (thanks mom!) comics, and cartoons thanks to the curse of dial-up internet and AOL's constant running-man.

Exclusive Interview with Evil Iguana Production's Craig Deering & Allen Murphy
Awhile back, I wrote about the spoof of Suicide Squad created by the YouTube group Evil Iguana Productions, which is the brainchild of Allen Murphy and Craig Deering. While they are well known for their spoofs, they have also been hard at work on a webseries which is a take on the normal man trying to take down the bad guys called Vigilant. They took a little time out of their busy schedule to sit down and answer a few questions about their latest project and plans for the future.

During Salt Lake Comic Con, there was a lot of excitement over the Marvel stars that were coming, along with many other movie and tv personalities.

While they consistently had a line of fans waiting for them, they did sit down for a few moments to answer a few questions and talk about their experience.

Tom Holland's Spider-Thong Left Him Crawling Up The Walls During Production Of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
Isn’t Peter Parker’s new costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming a thing of beauty? Sleek, comic book accurate and packed with Stark tech, it’s one of the boldest and most crowd-pleasing costumes that we’ve seen in recent years. The costume is certainly packing plenty of bells and whistles, but if you were to wear it in real life you’d soon discover that it’s very far from being a sophisticated — or even comfortable — piece of clothing. #TomHolland has already had his fair share of embarrassment with Spider-Man suits, but that pales in comparison to his time on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming, where he was distressed about the damage that the costume could do to his derriere!
