Joss Whedon On NPR
Joss Whedon, alright! Everyone knows him (Maybe? Probably everyone?). Alright!
He made Buffy. He made Firefly. He Made other other cool stuff including my favorite by him, the comic series Astonishing X-Men. He’s created in a bunch of stories in different genres, whether they be movies or comics or TV shows or even a web show: Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. And, I think all his work deals with heroes and villains.I think everything he’s worked on is about that. I mean, especially Buffy or Astonishing X-Men or Dr. Horrible or his work on Runaways. Those are straight-up superhero stories. But, I think Whedon’s work on Firefly and Dollhouse also explores heroes and villains, too. I’ll probably post more about Whedon stuff especially Buffy The Vampire Slayer later. He’s always been a major inspiration to me for my own writing.
NPR, yeah! They…have cool news which isn’t all that corporate! Nice! And Fresh Air is a really good show for interviews. I grew up with my parents listening to NPR all the time, and so Fresh Air has a special place in my heart because of that. One of the best shows they have. What I like most is when he addresses how sketchy and controversial the premise for his new show Dollhouse is, and how he works with that. There’s also a lot of singing in this interview. It’s fun kind of.
The interview’s ‘s a bit old, it aired February 12th, 2009. It’s about his new show, Dollhouse. But, about other stuff, too. If you don’t know about Joss Whedon at all, he’s cool. But, you know, don’t take my word for it. Have yourself a listen.
