Description
Today's guest, Lisa Petrucci, was a young artist with eclectic taste is movies and pop culture. She eventually found her soulmate in Mike Vraney, the founder of Something Weird Video. She has since taken the role of CEO of the company, following Mike's untimely death. We talk about her youth in Massachusetts, the joys of being traumatized at the drive-in, hanging out at Hasbro as a kid, the origins of her art, the fatherly wisdom of Dave Friedman, and Mike Vraney's hand in founding Alternative Tentacles, and Something Weird Video. We also get into the nitty gritty of Nudie Cuties. She's long been one of my dream guests, and she doesn't disappoint.
