Robert Rodat (Those About to Die; Saving Private Ryan)

The podcast is the mission.

Short Con

I’ll be at San Diego Comic Con this week! Will you?

Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum (MODOK TV show) have once again invited me along to host their Minor Threats panel on Thursday, 11:30AM in Room: 6DE.

It’s going to be another fun one with Patton, Jordan, artist Scott Hepburn, and writer Kyle Starks and artist Ryan Browne who are doing the Minor Threats spin-off book Barfly. We’ll discuss the C-list villains and henchpeople that populate the world of Minor Threats, and we’ll be making some announcements too!

I have made zero other plans for SDCC! Leave a comment below if you’ll be there! And if we know each other, please drop a line, and let’s day drink. Or night drink. Or afternoon drink. No morning drinking, though, as I’m sleeping in.

This Means War

Definitely stick with today’s Writers Panel episode, as there’s a lot of valuable stuff in it. Robert Rodat (Those About to Die; Saving Private Ryan) discusses the parallels of his ancient Roman series to today's politics, his grueling rewriting process, the "heart and soul" of Saving Private Ryan, the three levels of conflict, and more.
