Below the Belt Show

Below The Belt Show (www.belowthebeltshow.com) presents another amazing show with our final guests from New York Comic Con (www.newyorkcomiccon.com). BTB's own Mike "The General" Zad talks to popular comic book creator and founder of Image Comics, Erik Larsen! In an exclusive interview we talk to Erik about his current relationship with the rest of the Image Comics founders, bringing back the Sinister Six to Marvel, and leaving Marvel for Image and creating Savage Dragon. We also ask Erik the reason for Savage Dragon evolving to get more adult and racy over the years. An entertaining interview not to be missed! In addition, General Zad talks to creator Ghezal Omar from "Pimpkiller" and "357 Magnum Opus" and the first mainstream Afghani in the U.S.! Ghezal talks about how her screenplay was developed into "357" and her filmmaker influences including Martin Scorcese, David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino. She discusses her works as well as whether we could expect a live action version. BTB’s host with the most Al Sotto brings to you another entertaining program! This week on the panel we welcome Mike "The General" Zad and the "Voice of Reason" MIchael Dougherty! Later in the program we welcome "Ninkendo" Kenny Hopkins from the "That Was Disappointing Podcast" and Kristen Michelle to talk about the current season of our reality TV guilty pleasure "Big Brother"!
