In this week’s episode Nigel and Tazziii welcome mayamada Story Editor Lara-Lee Green and Concept Artist Rogier van de Beek for a discussion on 2013’s Pacific Rim. We talked about Guillermo del Toro’s homage to the anime mecha genre, adapted as a summer blockbuster. Listen and find out who we thoughts could have made a more interesting protagonist than the one we got, and our favourite Jaeger models.
Nigel’s story tip looks at considerations around plot versus character based storytelling.
Stories we’re enjoying: Coming 2 America, Divinity: Original Sin 2, WandaVision
