THE LOST EPISODE This episode was originally recorded two years ago after London Comic-Con. IT was a pilot project where we were going to try to add a video component: it didn't work. The audio got lost in the archives until recently. I decided to piece it together and give you the audio of this awesome chat. On this episode on Weird Careers, we talk to Mike Cameron about his work in the television and film industry. Mike has worked on projects like Rings of Power, Thor: Ragnorok, Pacific Rim, and more. Join me as we talk about the highs and lows,, the impact of AI, and how the ACTRA strike affected the industry. Check out this and more on this episode of Weird Careers!
