David Dastmalchian is a mainstay in comics movies and tv shows. You've seen him in Dune, Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Suicide Squad, The Dark Knight... it's a long list. Recently he has turned his creative energy into a new project with Dark Horse Comics called Count Crowley, an homage to creature features in 80s cinema. I got a chance to catch up with David to hear about some of his inspirations behind the project, his own reflections on addiction through the lens of the main character in the book, and even worked in an acting related question about my hometown of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. David was one of the most enthusiastic and warm guests I've ever hosted on the show. Check it out and make sure to pick up both collected volumes of Count Crowley in stores now.

A big thank you goes out to Alfred Smith for his excellent yeti voice work in today's episode.
