This week we chat with the filmmaker behind Pittsburgh Dad, Streetlight Stories, The Mercury Men, and Echo Torch, Chris Preksta. As a stay at home Dad who is passionate about film, Chris' young daughters have a front row seat to movie (and youtube) magic; but where does one set the limits with pop-culture and limit the screen time? When should kids be free to explore and when should Mom and Dad set the parental controls? Plus, how do stay at home parents ever get anything done? Grab yourself a life-size E.T. and a bowl of reese's pieces and enjoy this week's episode.

Spielberg's adaptation of the pop-culture fantasy READY PLAYER ONE is here, and we've got a whole bunch of people — all of whom, shockingly, have actually read the book. Sean and Aaron break it down; Sean interviews Chris Preksta about Spielberg history; Aaron chats with Alan Schultz about the future of virtual reality, which apparently exists in Alan's living room.

Finally, Aaron & Jason get down to the important things: Video Games! This episode is PART TWO with childhood friend, writer/director, Chris Preksta (Pittsburgh Dad, SyFy, Echo Torch).

Nothing like getting a bunch of passionate believers in the power of story together to talk about how the web is creating a paradigm shift. This episode we've got Chris Preksta of the forthcoming web series Mercury Men, Nicholas Robinson a recent studio executive with Vuguru, Bernie Su of the acclaimed Compulsions series, Mark Gantt of The Bannen Way, Chris McCaleb with over 300 episodes of experience in scripted web drama, and regulars Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf discussing the timeless tenets of story in a fast-paced digital world. There's a lot of talk about what parts of a story have to be identified and nurtured, the problem of sustainability for finite scripted web series, the ways we approach pitching and developing stories with digital studios, and the challenge of evolving writers into story architects that know how to take parts of a core story onto other platforms. This is one for the writers out there! Direct MP3 link
