Does making fun of geek culture make you more or less of a geek yourself? I think the answer is pretty obviously “more.” The following two projects of mine that went live over the past 24 hours are ample evidence.
First up, here’s the official, giant-sized debut episode of Marvel Superheroes: What The–?!, Marvel.com’s new stop-motion animated action-figure comedy series, which I co-wrote. It’s loaded with friends and former co-workers of mine: Animator and head writer Alex Kropinak, co-writer Jon Gutierrez, voice actors Ben Morse and Ryan Penagos. Also, MODOK throws up. (Spoiler alert!)
Next, over at Topless Robot I did another list feature about music from nerdy movies: 11 More Awesome Songs from Geek-Movie Soundtracks. I like to think this is one case of the sequel being every bit as strong as the original.
“It worked for Tyra!”
That has Collins all over it.
Good ear, Shags.
