W C Banning and I talk about everything from the movies he's acted in, to his radio work, his writing seminars for young kids entering the field, and his new fantasy series (with a tinge of horror, of course), whose plot reminds me a bit of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, only with a vastly larger and more cosmic scope!
His heavy pulp magazine influence comes to light as we go over relics from the 80's that shaped our lives!

Max and I talk about his cool new zombie concept (and believe me, it's hard to come up with something new zombie-related). Zombies are essentially shackled and muted so they can be put to use on menial tasks, but of course, everything has a dark downside! At first, this concept reminded me of the movie Fido,, but it turned out the application and premises are way different! We also discuss conventions, and how useless the TSA is!
