TT S3 E1: A Litany of Lloyd Literacy with Author Mathew Klickstein
Description
Zack sits down with writer Mathew Klickstein as they discuss his new book, Lloyd Kaufman: Interviews, available now from University Press of Mississippi. Mathew culled through nearly 50 years of interviews with the Troma president/co-founder to deliver a detailed, sometimes academic, sometimes silly portrait of the man who, along with partner Michael Herz, has kept Troma in business for the last half century.
Mathew Klickstein is a longtime multiplatform storyteller. His publications include SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age; Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies from a Lifetime Writing for "The Simpsons"; and See You at San Diego: An Oral History of Comic-Con, Fandom, and the Triumph of Geek Culture.
