We are very proud to present an Exclusive Interview with the Executive Producers and Showrunners of Voltron Legendary Defender: Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery. We are also proud to have Hypable Writer and Podcaster Donya Abramo here to help us with the interview. Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery have been on our podcast many times, but this may be the last time we talk about the whole Voltron Legendary Defender series on Netflix, as Joaquim and Lauren have moved onto other projects. We appreciate Joaquim and Lauren taking this much time to talk to us about the 4th installment of a Voltron animated series since it debuted in 1984. We have no news about whether there will be future Voltron projects, but it's a real treat to learn about how Joaquim and Lauren view their time with Voltron, from the beginning to the end of Voltron Legendary Defender.

Here is a summary of that episode and some screenshots: Haggar tries to send a baby Ro-beast after Queen Merla, but Merla's pet buzzard catches it. Haggar apologizes, and offers to help Merla conquer Arus. Meanwhile, on Arus, there is a parade taking place honoring the planet's leaders. Merla's forces attack. Keith and Allura try to get the villagers to safety, while Lance, Hunk, and Pidge race to get to their lions. In protecting the villagers, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge get zapped with a freeze ray, and their lions are sent over a cliff, and to the bottom of a canyon. After getting the villagers to the castle, Haggar makes her baby Ro-beast turn into a full sized one, and sicks it on the castle. With the other three frozen, Keith and Allura have to face the monster by themselves. At the end, all of the Voltron Force has statues made of them by the kids they had saved earlier in the episode, and King Alfor's ghost shows his approval of Keith. As Always, Thanks for Listening!

Also, for our Retro Voltron segment, Greg details 2 episodes that relate to Battle Scars, 1 from Voltron: Defender of the Universe Lion Force, called Pidge's Home Planet, and 1 from Vehicle Force called Great Stone Space Faces. In Battle Scars, while floating through the universe searching for signs of a Robeast, the Paladins head toward Olkarion and realize they aren't alone on their journey. Here are some of our favorite screenshots from Battle Scars: And from our Retro Voltron Segment, here is the synopsis from Pidge's Home Planet: Princess Allura is preparing for her coronation as the rest of the Voltron Force looks on. After Nanny insults them, the guys decide to check the monitor to see if there is any trouble. They discover that Pidge's home planet, Balto, is under attack by Zarkon's forces. Pidge said that his family was moving to a new planet, but he is not sure if they made it out in time. Keith, Lance, Pidge, and Hunk decide to head for Balto, but are cut off by the castle guards. Coran tells them that they must stay and protect planet Arus. He tries to place them under house arrest, but the Space Explorers quickly subdue the guards and head for Balto. Once there, they are confronted by Lotor and a new Ro-Beast. Back on Arus, Allura receives a telepathic distress message from Keith. She must now decide whether to stay and protect her planet, or to go and help her friends. Here is a screenshot from Pidge's Home Planet: Also from the Retro Voltron segment, here is the synopsis of Great Stone Space Faces: The Voltron Force discovers signs of an ancient civilization on planet Neb. However, the planet is unstable and Nerok is right behind them, ready for an ambush. Hazar meets with his father, Chancellor Mozak, to consider the fate of the Drule Empire. They realize that the empire will lose if they try to attack Earth, and peace is their only long-term option. Here is a screenshot from Great Stone Space Faces: As Always, Thanks for Listening!

Our Voltron friends, Dana, Rye and Todd join Marc and Greg to review the first episode of Season 8 of Voltron Legendary Defender, Launch Date. Dana, who lives in Tennessee, recently had lost all of her possessions in a fire at her family's home. This was a devastating loss for Dana. Here are some pictures of the house after the fire and the area that used to be Dana's bedroom: There is a GoFundMe page setup to help support Dana's family and their efforts to recover from this tragedy with their most immediate needs. They have not reached the GoFundMe goal yet, so please provide help if you can to a very special Voltron fan and her family at this link: https://www.gofundme.com/support-lewis-and-missy-hall Dana's best friend, Rye, who lives in South Carolina, knew that Dana had lost a lot of personal items with sentimental value, including a lot of art, signed posters and other special items she had bought at various conventions that Rye and Dana attended together over the years. One item, in particular, was a Voltron poster that Dana had signed by many of the voice actors and crew from Voltron Legendary Defender that she had collected at several conventions. Rye, without Dana knowing, had reached out to us on Twitter DM and asked if there was any way to connect with DreamWorks Animation to see if there was a way to get something signed and sent to Dana. We contacted Seth Fowler at DreamWorks PR, letting him know about the fire that destroyed Dana's signed poster, and asked if they could help Rye get something signed for her friend, Dana. It just so happened that THAT very night, the DreamWorks Animation group had planned a cast and crew party to celebrate the final season of Voltron Legendary Defender. Within a week, a signed poster of the combined lithographs of all the Voltron Legendary Defender characters, which was signed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Lauren Montgomery, Josh Keaton, Kimberly Brooks, Neil Kaplan, AJ LoCascio, and more of the cast and crew that were at the party that night, was on its way to Dana's boyfriend's house, where Dana was staying. Rye had given the address to Seth so it would be a surprise to Dana. Here are the pictures Dana shared on Twitter when she received that package: A huge THANK YOU to DreamWorks, the cast and crew of Voltron Legendary Defender, and everyone involved in getting this signed poster to Dana. And of course, this would have never been possible without Rye, who not only initiated the communication to get her best friend something that meant a lot to her, but introduced Dana to Voltron Legendary Defender in the first place. You'll hear all of these stories and more, as Dana and Rye joined us to help review Launch Date, the first episode of Season 8 of Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix. Dana is on Twitter: @danahall26 Rye is on Twitter: @yauilla Todd Matthy also joined us for this episode review podcast. Todd has been on the podcast previously, as well. Todd had been involved in the MediaBlasters DVD set for Voltron: Defender of the Universe, back in 2006. Todd is on Twitter: @ToddCMatthy Todd is also the creator of Robots vs. Princesses, a full-color comic book series. "Princess Zara wants to find a baby dragon. Instead she finds a giant robot. Together, they must stop a robot army." https://robotsvsprincesses.com/ THE LAST BATTLE IS COMING. Robots vs. Princesses #4 is on sale January 30th from @dynamitecomics so there’s still time to get pre-orders in (and re-orders) in.

During each guest segment, we give away 1 of the 5 total prizes in our #LetsVoltron5 contest! So, there are 3 prizes given away in Part 1! Neil Ross is our 1st special guest and despite the fact that he was one of the 6 original voice actors to work on Voltron: Defender of the Universe back in 1984, he has blessed us by having 2 new projects come out recently. He was the voice of Voltron in the Happy Honda Days ad we talked about in our last podcast, and he wrote a new autobiography called "Vocal Recall: A Life in Radio and Voiceovers". We are proud to have Neil on the podcast for the third time and to see that he mentioned listening to our podcast in his book! He doesn't mention "Let's Voltron podcast" by name, but he was talking about our interview with Franklin Cofod in the 33rd Chapter of the book. If you would like to pick up Neil's book, there are 4 different formats to choose, including paperback, audiobook (read by Neil himself, and doing some of the voices he's famous for!), Kindle, and PDF file. Net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to 1) Broadcasters Foundation of America & 2) The Actors Fund Order here: https://www.neilbook.com/order-the-book.html Our 2nd guest on the 5th Anniversary Podcast is Bob Koplar, President of World Events Productions in St. Louis, Missouri, the copyright, IP and trademark owner of Voltron. Bob gives us every indication that both Voltron merchandise and Voltron projects will continue in the future, although there is nothing next in line after Voltron Legendary Defender just yet. Our 3rd guest on the 5th Anniversary Podcast is Jeremy Corray, VP of Digital Entertainment at CoolFire Studios, and also the former Creative Director of WEP and the former co-host of Let's Voltron: The Official Voltron Podcast. You never know what special information about Voltron that Jeremy might reveal, as he gives us his Top 5 Voltron moments in his career. We hope to have Jeremy back for another podcast soon, where he reveals some of the secrets behind "what almost was" or "what might have been" while he was working with Voltron at WEP. Here are the 3 prizes we are giving away in this podcast: Our 5th Anniversary Podcast didn't only come with 2 great podcast episodes. It also came with a really cool bunch of designs from 5 amazing Voltron fan artists!

Our special guest is Jason Sperling, Chief Creative Development for RPA, the ad agency responsible for the Happy Honda Days ad that featured the classic Voltron Matchbox die-cast toy, and included the original voices from Neil Ross, Michael Bell, BJ Ward and Jack Angel. After all that fun, Marc and Greg review the final 2 episodes of Season 7 of Voltron Legendary Defender, Lions' Pride Part 1 & 2. Jason Sperling, Chief Creative Development for RPA, talks about how the Voltron Happy Honda Days ad came together, how the idea of using nostalgic toys to sell cars came to be, and what other things RPA has been involved with. One special thing that RPA is proud to be a part of, is the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, and they have been trying to help provide more resources for kids who have been diagnosed with brain tumors. RPA partnered with 23 animation studios, to create 23 different animated short films around each topic related to pediatric brain tumors. These short films are available in hospital networks around the world, in over 85 countries, and in 12 different languages.

For more information on how to go to LOSCON, go to this link: https://loscon.org/45/ Marc and Greg are happy to reveal the super secret videos that hundreds of Voltron Fans around the world helped make. After SDCC, we asked people to send us short 10-15 second video clips, thanking the staff of Voltron Legendary Defender for this wonderful show on Netflix and for all the hard work that went into it. We wanted the staff to know this is an extremely small sample of all the Voltron Fans around the world that love them all for making this amazing show that has brought a worldwide audience together in more ways than they'll ever know.

Today, we're finally celebrating the release of Season 4 of the phenomenally awesome Voltron: Legendary Defender on Netflix! To celebrate, we're chatting with not one, not two, but THREE members of the cast! On this episode, we're chatting with Rhys Darby, the unmistakable voice of Coran (Coran, the Gorgeous Man); Bex Taylor-Klaus, who brings the green paladin Pidge to life; and Blake Anderson, who formally joins the show this season as Matt Holt. We talk all about the lions, the actors' histories with the franchise, how much their characters have become a part of who they are, fan reaction to the show, and their choice for most important relationship between characters.
¡Orbitales saludos, Oyentes Benevolentes! ¡A pesar del calor, y sabedores de nuestra responsabilidad, hemos conseguido reunirnos bajo el micrófono (y bajo el aire acondicionado), para haceros más llevadero el último tramo de las vacaciones de verano, (quienes las tengáis)! Y esto en una entrega ligera y fresquita, nuestro episodio #132, lleno de secciones variadas, cual ingredientes del gazpacho: Cotilleos trekkers, éxitos literarios de la ciencia ficción moderna, cine de ciencia ficción de culto de hace unos años (o de hace unos meses, pero con vocación de serlo); ciencia ficción para jóvenes adultos, animación USA con vocación de anime y brutos mecánicos, y series fantásticas modernas con sabor a nostalgia. Pero veamoslo en nuestro sumario. Noticias: Nos hacemos eco de lo que sabíamos sobre la nueva serie de Star Trek Discovery; la adquisición de Netflix de los derechos internacionales para Star Trek; los cotilleos sobre una serie televisiva de Star Wars; la visita de Doctor Who a Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias para grabar un episodio de la próxima temporada, la obra de teatro de Harry Potter, y la lamentable campaña de acoso y derribo contra Las Cazafantasmas. Todo eso, de golpe y sin respirar. Cine actual: En este caso, rebuscamos entre las películas que no han llegado a salas comerciales, pero tienen interés para los aficionados a la ciencia ficción: Syncronizity (2015), que gira en torno al viaje en el tiempo al pasado inmediato; y Circle (2015), un tenso y minimalista thriller de ciencia ficción, cuyo ajustadísimo presupuesto no le impide plantear interesantes dilemas sobre el valor de una vida humana. Cine de culto: Recordamos Cypher (2002), una película de ciencia ficción sobre la personalidad y los recuerdos, que habría hecho las delicias de Phillip K. Dick. Con Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Elementary), y dirigida por Vincenzo Natali, también director de la mítica Cube. Cine "Young Adult": Hablamos de la serie de películas para jóvenes adultos conocida como Divergente una de las sagas distópicas que siguieron la estela marcada en cine por Los Juegos del Hambre, que en este caso está protagonizada por la joven actriz Shailene Woodley Televisión nostálgica: Hablamos de Stranger Things, la serie que ha sido la sensación de Netflix este verano, un claro homenaje al cine fantástico familiar de los 80's, y que ha sido definido como una combinación de Los Goonies y el IT de Stephen King. Anime robótico: Comentamos Voltrón Legendary Defender, el reboot de la mítica serie de robots gigantes. En este caso se trata nuevamente de una producción norteamericana de Netflix, que está producida por el mismo estudio de La Leyenda de Korra. Literatura de ciencia ficción: Charlamos sobre la novela La Chica Mecánica de Pablo Bacigalupi. La novela nos presenta una distopía en la que la crisis energética y las plagas de diseño contra los cultivos provocaron un brutal colapso económico en el planeta, del que algunas naciones apenas han empezado a recuperarse. La novela fue premio Nébula, Locus y Hugo en torno a 2010. Y merecidamente, debemos añadir. Como de costumbre, esperamos que nuestras propuestas os aporten algunas ideas para seleccionar películas, series y libros. Y si no, como mínimo, que os entretengáis con nuestras divagaciones, y os haga más llevadera la transición de las vacaciones veraniegas al mundo real. Long live and prosper!!
