119. Jessi Fisher, stunt double

I had the pleasure of speaking with stunt woman Jessi Fisher, who recently doubled Linda Hamilton for Terminator: Dark Fate. We discuss her journey as a performer from Cirque du Soleil to working in Hollywood. We also candidly speak about the challenges that face women in the stunt industry. I enjoyed my conversation with Jessi, as it brought back memories of my good old stunt days! Today I live vicariously through incredible stunt performers like Jessi.

118. Shelly Bond on her life

It is a good day when I get to sit down and talk comics with someone as knowledgeable as Shelly Bond. Shelly is an award-winning DC/Vertigo and Black Crown editor.
