Description

I talk to film critic and author Nick Spake about what a film critic does and how he got into the business of critiquing films through his time at Arizona State University (Go Sun Devils). We also talk about his book, Bright and Shiny; A history of animation at award shows (Volumes 1 and 2 available now on Barnesandnoble.com!) and a bit about how the Best Animated Film category was added to the Oscars. Plus, advice about starting a career as a critic. You can follow Nick and his work at www.cartooncontender.com or follow @cartooncontender on your favorite social media!
