Fun Brain

For Halloween, Casey and his brother Sheamus begin a new podcast quest to watch -- and discuss -- every vampire movie ever made. In this introductory episode, Sheamus and Casey make their opening arguments as to why vampires are the ultimate movie monster. In the process, they muse about growing up as horror fans and reminisce about vampires in videogames, on VHS, and as a classic Halloween costume. 

Casey meets up with illustrator Mikey Karpiel in San Francisco to ask about his experience graduating from liberal arts college as a fine arts major, and the impetus behind his risograph print comic series, “Gossip.” Mikey offers a story about an abandoned asylum, and the boys talk an astonishing amount about Tech Deck Dudes.
