OUT OF THE WAY, PECK: After 34 years, Disney decided to create a sequel series to the Lucasfilm cult classic fantasy film, Willow, exclusively for Disney+. D. Bethel is a devout fan of that original film; Andrew couldn't care less. So, they're going into this series from two very different contexts, but come to very similar conclusions: it's okay.
TOPICS: (00:00) Intro - DnD OGL Update (if any?) (04:33) Willow on Disney+ (46:41) Outro - History of the World, Part 2 surprise trailer (51:49) Outtakes RELEVANT EPISODES:

It's been over a year since D. Bethel sat down with Taurus Comics' Kyrun Silva to talk about reading, making, and selling comics. Since both hosts recently released new books, they spend some time to focus on what is probably (for some) the least fun part of the comics creation process: marketing.
