  • Bear McCreary on Creating Battlestar’s Soundtrack and His Journey into Music
    Oct 1 2024

    Hey, everyone! Today, I'm very excited to talk with my good friend and one of the most talented composers I’ve ever met, Bear McCreary! Not only was he the composer for Battlestar Galactica, but he has gone on to work on shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Sails, Outlander, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

    We first met when we were both little babies on Battlestar. I was surprised to find out I wasn’t the only young person on the crew - Bear was the composer at only 24! Today, we're diving deep into his career, how he got interested in music, landed the Battlestar gig, and what he’s working on these days. Which speaking of, Bear just released his new double album and graphic novel project, “The Singularity”. If you like heavy metal and music like Guns and Roses then you’re going to love this because Slash literally plays on this album.

    Also, find out how Bear came up with that iconic All Along the Watchtower Battlestar remix and how he convinced me to play it with him live on stage and might again soon! Stick around for the hindsight where I force my producer to listen to me talk about carpet beetles, bed bugs, parasitic wasps, and all that fun stuff.

  • Bitsie Tulloch on the legacy of Grimm, Superman & Lois coming to an end, and how she ended up as an actor after Harvard
    Sep 24 2024

    Hey everyone, in this episode, I sit down with the amazing Bitsie Tulloch, known for her roles as Juliette Silverton in Grimm and Lois Lane in Superman & Lois. I was really excited to talk with Bitsie because I've only ever seen her at cons for short moments. It was great to talk to her about how she got into acting after going to Harvard(!) and the unexpected path that led her to iconic roles in Grimm and, of course, as Lois Lane.

    We also talk about how she balances family life with her daughter and husband, David Giuntoli while surviving Hollywood and staying out of the public eye, as well as our shared love of Portland. Stick around for the hindsight where I read your comments and emails to find out what word I can't spell for the life of me...

  • Paul Sun-Hyung Lee Can't Believe He's in Star Wars and Why There Isn't a Carson Teva Action Figure
    Sep 17 2024

    In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my friend Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who you probably know from Kim’s Convenience and just about every Star Wars show out there right now (The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka) as Captain Carson Teva.

    Paul’s journey from an immigrant family to fulfilling his nerd dream of being a part of the Star Wars universe is amazing, and we dive deep into what it’s like growing up in Canada, deciding to be an actor against his parent's wishes, and having to navigate Hollywood as an Asian actor.

    We also talk about his passion for collecting, the joy he finds in the Star Wars fandom, and why there's no Carson Teva action figure! Paul is just one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve met, and I can’t wait for you all to hear his story. Enjoy this fantastic conversation with one of the best, and stick around for the Hindsight where I answer your comments and emails.

  • Titus Welliver talks Bosch, Watchmen, The Mandalorian, and his favorite books
    Sep 10 2024

    Hello everyone, today we have Bosch himself, Titus Welliver, to talk about his life, playing Bosch (of course), his role on The Mandalorian, our new show Watchmen Chapter 1, and acting in general. Honestly, I was a little nervous to talk to him because he's kind of an intimidating guy, but it turns out he's an absolute sweetheart. Tune in to meet the sweet man underneath the tattoos and find out if I can pronounce Rorschach or not. Stick around for the hindsight, where we dissect the episode and answer your comments and emails.

  • Rekha Sharma on Star Trek and Final Five
    Aug 20 2024

    Rekha Sharma is one of my favorite people and a dear friend! She was Tory on Battlestar Galactica, Commander Landry on Star Trek: Discovery, Jessica on Yellowjackets, and a million other things on a million other movies and shows. We nerd out about Star Trek, I stumble my way through some questions about race and typecasting in the film industry, and we have a good time. That’s what’s up!

  • Edward Olmos on the importance of Battlestar Galactica and So Say We All-speech
    Aug 13 2024

    Edward James Olmos is not just an acting legend who's played in everything from Miami Vice to Mayans M.C. In my Battlestar Galactica family he's basically my dad, and I couldn't be happier to have him on the show. Edward talks about New York gang culture in the 40s and 50s, the impact and importance of Battlestar, and the story behind his epic So Say We All-speech.
