Steve Rude PART 2

Update: 2023-02-26

Description

Steve Rude returns with even more insight into his process and offers up some thoughts on his latest endeavor— taking over the writing duties on the ongoing Nexus comic strip.

Topics in the second part of our conversation include a deep dive into ‘The Dude’s’ personal philosophies, stories about a number of celebrities he’s befriended over the years, and why cookies and Kool-Aid are a combination that can’t be beat.

We also get around to talking about lots and lots of movies, and Steve weighs in with his (sometimes quite controversial) take on a number of classic films.

(Note: Some segments of the audio in this episode are a little bit... crunchy. It’s not throughout the entire show and it’s not awful, but for the finicky audiophile, I thought it might be worth posting a small warning.)
