Next Podcast Guests: Fred Topel and Jen Yamato
 |
Fred Topel is a TR contributor, usually focusing on out-of-town events like Sundance and SXSW, and TV press events with limited access. He is also a writer for CraveOnline, Nuke the Fridge, Suicide Girls, Showbiz Junkies and more, and has dubbed himself “Franchise Fred” due to an inordinate love of sequels of all stripes.
Jen Yamato writes for the Daily Beast, and has previously been the editor-in-chief of Movieline, the public face of Rotten Tomatoes, a critic for Movies.com and a reporter for Deadline Hollywood. She and I also used to appear together on the web show “First Dollar Gross,” alongside Todd Gilchrist and Damon Houx.
Both have recently returned from the big South-by-Southwest fest, so we’ll be discussing that…but this thread is for your questions. What else would you like us to talk about, if anything?
About The Author
Luke Y. Thompson has been writing professionally about movies and pop-culture since 1999, and has also been an actor in some extremely cheap culty and horror movies you will probably never hear much about (he is nonetheless mostly proud of them, as he met his wife on one). As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
