Geekscape 704: Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit!

Co-writing geek duo Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit have authored films from some of our favorite geek properties! From Pokémon in 'Detective Pikachu' to everyone's favorite ninjas in 'TMNT: Mutant Mayhem' and more, the pair have cut a path of dream pop culture gigs. And this weekend they top it all with the biggest geek franchise of all time: Star Wars! Both Dan and Benji sit down with me to talk about their approach to Star Wars and their dream Star Wars checklist, working with icons like Mark Hamill and Robin Williams, and how writing Star Wars is like dumping LEGO out on the floor and just following your imagination! Along the way, we answer some Geekscape audience questions, talk TMNT and Pokémon, and eulogize the great James Earl Jones and phenomenal comic talent John Cassaday. Enjoy!
