In this chat, Mike, Rob & Blake discuss a huge variety of topics but some of the more major ones are; toxic fandoms and what constitutes “milking” a franchise, merchandising, the sad death of Toys R Us, which Star Wars trilogy era is the best thus far, Harry Potter & JK Rowling’s other novels, Nicholas Cage’s acting, minute-by-minute takes of movies, the oversaturation in the podcast market & how much work goes into creating a podcast, Event Horizon and so much more!
This is actually part 2 of the chat and although the chat isn’t linear and topics jump all over the place, we suggest checking out part 1, which can be found on The Crazy Train’s feed!
In part 1, where Genuine Chit-Chat got it’s name and why it was started is spoken about as well as Mike’s YouTube beginnings, a movie discussion around The Meg, Monster Brawl, The Room & Star Wars, late-night double-features, the illustrious laptop burial, a face for the radio and many other topics!
