I Wrote You A Pilot

Season 2 of S1 Ep1: Eric Trundy stars in ERIC TRUNDY: PSYCHOLOGICAL INVESTIGATOR

This is the first episode of the second season and a lot has changed over the past year, my dad passed away, the pandemic is coming to a close, and I’ve also experience countless smaller events that will forever shape my world view, but I have still yet to be showered with money from the entertainment gate keepers so here I go again! My first guest this go around is ERIC TRUNDY an accomplished stand-up comedian who has worked with well-known favorites such as Dave Attell, Doug Stanhope, and John Witherspoon his comedy is capable of mining laughs out of tragedy and treating silliness with the utmost importance.  We talk briefly about television involving characters in their 2^nd act so to speak and then dive into pilot I wrote for him entitled Eric Trundy Psychological Investigator.

First Bonus EP1 S1: A.J. Schraeder stars in "ANTHONY JUSTICE: BIKE MESSANGER"

This first bonus episode finally has a star worthy of fame...ME! My friend Josh Mahan has known me since high school where I often walked around with a lobster puppet on my hand (that's a fact about me that may or may not get incorporated. ) and all those years of knowing me inspired him to write this episode in order to help showcase my immense talent. 

The 10th S1 EP1 Josh Mahan stars in "JOSH 18"

The last episode of the season! It took me a little bit to get this published cause I've been busy with jobs that don't involve television super stardom, but hopefully this episode will turn that around. If it doesn't I'll need to take a break to mentally swallow my sadness! My guest today is Josh Mahan a professional animator and art director who's credits include serving as the art director on Adult Swim's the Shivering Truth as well as animator on a number acclaimed short films and commercials. We talk very briefly about shows involving characters confused by the rest of society and then Journey into the future for a sci-fi adventure I wrote for him entitled JOSH 18.
