The Bancroft Brothers go way back to 2014 for this Flashback Friday episode with the legendary director Brenda Chapman. She discusses her early story years and Tony gushes about working with her for 3 months on The Lion King. Many references are made to the late great Roger Allers too, as he was a huge influence on Chapman. Oh, and has anyone heard about her directing of Dreamworks' Prince of Egypt and Pixar's Brave? Well, you will here! Check out this episode on iTunes, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, we interview the prolific writer/creator Emily Brundige.

Two successful Kickstarters later, hear what Emily has in store for your new favorite vampire family.
