Episode 28: Comedy and NDNz - the Airplane! episode.

We are back. We took a couple weeks off as things got busy with plays, film shoots, comedy shows, and life stuff. But here we are with episode 28, our first Comedy and NDNz episode with Jason Grasl, where we take a look at iconic comedy films, in this case, Airplane!
This is a bit experimental and indulgent and frankly we had a blast recording this. So if you do like it, we promise there will be more of these sprinkled into the Hollywood NDNz mix. And if you don't like it, we're sorry, but we had too much fun not to do this again.
YUUUUGE thanks to musical contributions of JJ Otero and Carolina Hoyos for the intro and end credits music, Jason Grasl, the intro voice, and finally SCIC for the use of their offices to record the episode. Chi mii gwech!
The Hollywood NDNz podcast is hosted by Jason Grasl, Rainy Fields, Tim Ramos, and Jim Ruel.
