On this month’s edition of Creator Spotlight, we sit down with comic author and illustrator Ray Reynet to talk about his creative journey, artistic growth, and the passion behind his work with Farlook Studios. This recurring series is all about highlighting creators and giving them the space to share their experiences, inspirations, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. From being largely self-taught to building a unique artistic voice, Ray gives us an inside look at the process behind his work and the fandoms that continue to inspire him.

• An introduction to Farlook Studios, the kind of projects Ray works on, and the goals and vision behind the studio
• Ray’s journey as a largely self-taught creator, including the key breakthroughs and experiences that helped him go from experimenting creatively as a kid to producing professional-level work today
• How his creative process and artistic voice have evolved over time, and what stands out the most when comparing his earlier work to his recent projects
• The challenge of balancing multiple genres, styles, and formats while still maintaining a recognizable creative identity and staying open to experimentation
• The impact of pop culture fandoms like Marvel, God of War, and other major influences on his storytelling, artwork, and creative interests

Tune in for a great conversation about creativity, growth, and the realities of building your own path as an independent creator.

It’s time for another round of What Did I Miss?, our monthly pop culture catch-up where we break down the biggest stories we didn’t get to cover the month before. We’re joined once again by returning guests Victor Larson and Donald Guzzi, bringing their takes on everything from major leaks to surprising new adaptations. As always, we wrap things up with a chaotic game of Kahoot trivia for bragging rights.

• The leak surrounding Avatar: The Last Airbender-related project The Legend of Aang, and the fallout from fans and the industry as details spread online
• The surprising news that Epic: The Musical is getting an animated adaptation, with backing from Jerry Bruckheimer, and what that could mean for the project
• A wave of new announcements, including a Dungeon Crawler Carl TV series, film adaptations for Call of Duty and Battlefield, and a live-action take on FernGully: The Last Rainforest
• The unexpected return of Firefly, this time as an animated series, and whether it can recapture what made the original so beloved
• A broader roundup of the month’s pop culture news, including new trailers, video game reveals, and highlights from our Discord community discussions

Tune in for a packed episode covering everything you might’ve missed—and stick around to see who comes out on top in this month’s trivia showdown.

For our second Patreon Month recommendation, we’re taking a look at a heavy hitter in the action genre, courtesy of Wait Watcher Kory T. from the World is My Burrito Podcast. This time, we dive into The Raid 2, a film that’s often brought up in conversations about the greatest action movies ever made. Its influence can be felt across modern action cinema, from the slick choreography of John Wick and its sequels to films like Atomic Blonde, Extraction, and even Nobody. But does it live up to that reputation for us? We break down where it excels—and where it might lose us.

• Phil’s reaction to the film’s intense violence, especially its graphic depiction of injuries like broken and exposed bones, and a heads-up for listeners who might find that level of brutality hard to watch
• The film’s lasting pop culture impact, with its influence stretching beyond movies into gaming and anime, and why it still gets brought up in action conversations today
• Whether the story tries to do too much, layering in complex plotlines that may not be compelling enough to justify how difficult they can be to follow
• The two-and-a-half-hour runtime, which is a significant jump from The Raid, and whether that added length helps or hurts the overall experience
• The camera work, including heavy use of shaky cam that at times feels overdone and distracting rather than immersive
• Standout action sequences, especially the iconic kitchen fight and the memorable showdown with “Bat Man” and “Hammer Girl,” which highlight the film at its absolute best

Tune in as we unpack one of the most talked-about action films of the last decade and decide where it lands for us.

Letterbox'd Synopsis: After fighting his way through an apartment building populated by an army of dangerous criminals and escaping with his life, SWAT team member Rama goes undercover, joining a powerful Indonesian crime syndicate to protect his family and uncover corrupt members of his own force.
