A show so chock full of fun thanks to our special guests that we expanded this week\u2019s episode of #BTLRadioShow to 90 minutes!!<\/p>\n
Just who are these incredible special guests? Filmmakers and brothers, CHARLEY and VLAS PARLAPANIDES, who join us talking about their new anime series on Netflix, BLOOD OF ZEUS. Be you a filmmaker, a film fan, a fan of anime or Greek mythology, this is one conversation you don\u2019t want to miss! But in addition to Charley and Vlas, we\u2019ve also got our pre-recorded exclusive interview with director LYDIA DEAN PILCHER and co-director\/writer GINNY MOHLER talking about their new film, RADIUM GIRLS.<\/p>\n
I first Charley and Vlas nine years ago for the blockbuster film Immortals which they co-wrote. (Needless to say, when you mix folks from the Jersey shore and Philly with film, you have an instant connection.) Their love of mythology, which gave rise to some of the most ancient oral forms of storytelling, was at the heart of that film. And while they have had other projects since Immortals, nothing compares to what they now bring us as the Executive Producers, creators, and writers of BLOOD OF ZEUS.<\/p>\n
If you love Greek mythology, you’ll love the series. If you love anime, you’ll love this series. If you love mythology and anime together, you will go crazy for this series. Action, adventure, glorious visuals, characters that are larger than life (as all gods should be), yet a series with heart thanks to a hero.<\/p>\n
Involved in every level of the series development and production, listen as Charley and Vlas talk in-depth about anime vs cartoons, the genesis of the series, their love of mythology, developing storylines, picking the Olympian gods of which to include, writing for a defined episodic series vs a feature film, their writing process as co-writers and brothers, creating episodic arcs within the overall 8-episode series arc while tieing it all together with color, character, and visual composition, the animation itself, storyboarding, score, the importance of collaboration and the mantra of \u201cno idea is a bad idea\u201d, their own filmmaking lessons learned through this process, the importance of a good director (in this case, Shaunt Nigoghossian), title details, very fun and interesting end credits (aka \u201cwatch through the credits), and so much more. And we manage to talk about it all SPOILER FREE!<\/p>\n
