In this episode of GenreTainment, Marx & Julie sit down with indie filmmaking duo Ryan and Lily McCurdy to discuss their debut feature film, Pears—a quirky comedy noir about an incompetent private investigator and a case gone hilariously sideways.

Writer-director Ryan McCurdy and co-producer Lily McCurdy take us behind the scenes of Pears, sharing their journey from short films to full-length feature. You'll hear how they tackled the creative and logistical challenges of low-budget filmmaking and what it’s really like to make a movie with your spouse. Expect some laughs, real talk, and valuable advice for aspiring filmmakers. Also, we have clips from Pears, giving you a sneak peek of the film currently on Amazon Prime and Tubi!

🎥 Whether you’re a movie buff, indie creator, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this one’s for you.

GenreTainment is where Marx & Julie talk about what is happening in the world of books, film, TV, web series, and games. We give you interviews with writers, game designers, directors, producers and actors in both independent and not-so-independent creations.

This week, GenreTainment chats with David Peterson, an expert in Conlang (Constructed Languages) who created the Dothraki language for HBO's Game of Thrones and languages for alien races on SyFy's channels high anticipated series Defiance.

PLUS, interviews with the cast of Haven.

Peterson tells us how he became involved in creating languages (around a dozen at this point), how he started doing it professionally for television, introduces us to the world of Conlang (which is much bigger than we realize), the process he used to create the languages for Game of Thrones and Defiance, and so much more.

For this episode of GenreTainment we are chatting with author Erin M. Evans. She is best known for writing novels set in the Forgotten Realms world, which is both enjoyed by fans as novels and as a Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game setting. Her fourth novel set in this fantasy world is called The Adversary and is one of six books in The Sundering series, which promises to make big changes in the world of Faerun.

Erin tells us how she went from graduating with a degree in anthropology to writing for one of the most popular fantasy settings out there. We get hints of what to expect in her new book which hits bookstores on December 3rd.
