Ricky, Phil, and their guest Damien continue their search for an additional guest that began in the previous episode… and at last get in touch with Tari Akpodiete, formerly with Short Fuze / Moviestorm and now running her Digipendence website. Discussion then blossomed about contracts, web-delivered series, and more. It was a delightful and fun conversation and a great way to close out our evening on Skype.

Thank you for listening! How much do we love your comments? We plan to ask them to marry us just as soon as we are ready to settle down. So bring ‘em on!

Phil and Ricky decide to see who they can connect with on Skype and pull into the show on the spot. Damien Valentine joins the fray early, and the three discuss everything from the softporn-ish ending of Alien (1979) to the hardporn film inspired by a popular video game. Oh, and they manage to talk about machinima a bit too, but this episode was mostly about unadulterated fun.

Finding a fourth show participant proved a bit more challenging…
