Joel Johnson, Editor of ANIMAL New York, an arts and culture workshop based in Manhattan.
Here are a few of the things we talked about in this episode:
Nexus Q streaming-media sphere.
Leviathan Wakes — George R.R. Martin calls it a "really kickass space opera."
Before Watchmen comics.
Promethea graphic novels by Alan Moore. Joel says: "It's one of my favorite things, ever."
"Secrets, lies, horror, lust, and monsters from the time before time all collide in Fatale: Death Chases Me."

Prometheus. Joel: "It's terrible. Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?"
