Weekend Recommendations - Criterion Collection Free Marathon
Greetings Cadets!
Our second Free Space episode is out in the world and you guys are going to love what we have for you! General good guy and super talented writer Jeff Trammell. The showrunner of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man an Craig of the Creek came aboard the Free Space ship to make you smile.
Our conversation covered breaking new ground for Peter Parker, crafting the show’s identity, playing with canon events and NFL Super Pro. It’s a ton of fun and I’m super excited for you all to hear it. So, give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.
++++++
Free Space’s Official Streaming Guide is out in the world and some of you have already ordered your copy. While I thanked you in private, I would like to take a second to really appreciate that small act that keeps gas in the old spaceship fuel tank.
You can order a Free Space Streaming TV Guide for yourself at our shop! Also, we now have shirts and other designs up in the store for you. So, those of you who have been asking about shirts can finally rep the show in real life.
With that small programming note, let’s get into some recommendations!
