MIFV x But I Digress… | MIFV Interview Series: Daniel DiManna, Author of G-Cinema

Leave a comment

I have a couple of videos/livestreams from my YouTube channel that are overdue for some SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION here. They’re relevant to your interests.

Nathan sits down with his longtime friend and now first-time published author, Daniel DiManna, to discuss said first book: G-Cinema: An Exploration and Celebration of Japan’s Monster King. Danny is the creator and author of the ambitious Godzilla Novelization Project, but he’s also a frequent odcast guest, actor, and full-time goober, as he says. Join us for an exciting (and very nerdy) conversation!

Check out Nathan’s spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

Nathan is joined by his friend, co-author, and college friend Eric Anderson, founder of Nerd Chapel, to discuss their adventures at Gen-Con in Indianapolis. It’s “the best four days of gaming” and the biggest vendor hall they’ve ever sold books in.

But I Digress…, Episode 31: A Review of ‘Fantastic Four’ (2015)

 “But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand
I wasn’t planning on doing this, but since people kept asking me what I thought of the new “Fantastic Four,” I decided to make an impromptu video review of it. I invite my buddy Sergio Garza to join me as we–no surprise–riff on the movie and say the Roger Corman version is better. No joke.

But I Digress…, Episode 30 – My Review of ‘Terminator: Genisys’

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand
After another long, unintended hiatus, I return with a summer movie review–one that left me with the most nerd rage I’ve had in a long time! The “Terminator” franchise, which includes some of my favorite films, has been “rebooted” stupidly. So much so, my old friend the T-800 returns to protect me from the new movie!

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand

Two years! Two years I’ve been doing this show. (I’m as surprised as you, trust me). 😛

To celebrate, as has become an unintentional tradition with me, I discuss selling books at conventions. However, this time you’ll be hearing from some of my dear writer friends from Gen-Con 2014. Yes, you don’t have to listen to be ramble for once. Enjoy!

But I Digress…, Episode 24 – How to Write Speculative Fiction, Part 2: Story Construction

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand

Are you an aspiring writer? Love science fiction and fantasy? I give some handy tips on how to write speculative. In part two of my four-part series, I explain story construction conventions, including the MICE story types, and how to handle exposition and literalism. I did have some help from the great author Orson Scott Card, though.
