info_outlineJoin the crowd and join Monster Kid Radio this week to talk about two upcoming crowd-funded projects! First, artist/actor/screenwriter/filmmaker Frank Dietz joins Derek in Part One of an interview on MKR to talk a little bit about his career and background. (If you listen carefully, you might hear Derek's heart skip a beat when Frank talks about working with Julie Adams.) Frank's previous documentary Beast Wishes (which he co-directed with Trish Geiger in 2013) takes a loving look at Bob and Kathy Burns (two of the original monster kids!), and this year, he's tackling King Kong with Long Live the King - The Legacy of Kong. Secondly, returning guest Stephen D. Sullivan tells us how crazy he is when he enters Tournament of Death 3, a novel he's writing in 16 days over the course of the Winter Olympics. (Can you guess what Steve's favorite Winter Olympic sport is? Can you guess Derek's?)
