With our guest Joe Croasdaile, recorded live on July 11th, 2005.

Joe Croasdaile talks with us about being an AMV creator and video editor.

Along with our special guest Nathan Bezner. Nathan joins in on the phone with us this week, while we tried to interview Joe. This show ended up not being our normal show format... before we even started "recording" for the show... we spent most of our time talking and catching up. The recording of the show ran longer then usual, and we never kept strictly to the interview format... we totally derailed. I ended up cutting a lot of stuff out to keep the time down... and to make it sound more like our normal format.

One of these days, I think we will get a bunch of AMV creators together and just tell stories, and make that into one of the future shows, instead of a specific guest. =D

This week's show was a bit explicit. This is not something we're going to do every week. It just happened to work out that way; this week.

Then the OtakuGeneration cast will pick their favorite, and we will send the winner the Firefly TV-Series Boxset.

We will only accept one submission per person.
