Summary
Felicia Day joins Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes for a wildly fun, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about building a career by making your own lane, long before that was the norm. They talk about Firefly, The Guild, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, The Librarians, Leverage, Critical Role, awkward auditions, Hollywood burnout, fantasy worlds, redheads, and the projects that changed nerd culture forever. Felicia also opens up about creating her new graphic novel, The Lost Daughter of Sparta, and why making your own thing can be the smartest move in the business. There are also stories about Patrick Stewart, Gene Roddenberry, Rip Torn, Kathy Bates, Robin Williams, and more, plus a lot of chaos, laughter, and classic name dropping along the way. If you enjoy stories about cult classics, geek culture, sci fi, creativity, and how iconic projects actually get made, this episode is for you.
