Hobbits vs Coney Island
Marc March 1, 2013
In the recent episode featuring animation great Ralph Bakshi, he revealed a gripe with director Peter Jackson. Bakshi claims that Jackson benefitted from his animated version of "Lord of the RIngs" in the making of Jackson's live action version, yet has never thanked him. He lamented that Jackson hasn't even contributed a single dollar to Bakshi's Kickstarter campaign for a new animated short "The Last Days of Coney Island."
​
Today the campaign reached its $165,000 goal, apprantly without any help from Jackson, despite Monkey Radio with Marc's efforts to connect the two directors via Twitter. Bakshi has decided to stretch the Kickstarter goal another several thousand dollars to increase the ength of the film. Paging Mr. Jackson---here;s your chance to get some very cheap big time PR. Do we know anyone in New Zealand?
​
A side note: our show host Marc personally contributed to the campaign.

Bacon vs Biggest Loser
Marc January 3, 2013
Today we confirmed an upcoming interview with someone I really respect: Cara Castronuova, two time Golden Gloves boxing champ, former TV trainer on "The Biggest Loser", actress, etc. She will genuinely thrill us with her appearance on our show.

She'll also undoubtedly have something to say about fitness. And eating well. And exercising. And, uh, fitness.

Which is, of course, great.
Ironically, we plan to be doing two shows that day later in January on location at our sponsor Baconery's Manhattan storefront. Seriously---it will be an awesome couple of shows!
​
But how to we explain to Ms. Castronuova that we are also eating bacon infused yumminess while we try to take what she is saying seriously?
