"Cystmas!" Wk. 4, Gene Jones & Jason Douglas

Slashers

Alright, metadata gods. Now is the time. Bring me all of the new listeners I have craved this year. To wrap up "Cystmas," we have interviews with two actors from the film Cyst.

First up, we have Gene Jones, who has been in The Hateful Eight, No Country for Old Men, Sacrament, and both Red Dead Revolver and Redemption.

We discuss his tremendous stage experience, and how that has shaped him as a film performer. Gene is kind enough to share some of his ritual in getting ready for an audition, and tools he uses to get attention and show the mastery of his craft to casting directors. We talk inspirations for his performance and how being prepared gives him opportunities to perform as an actor.

We also have an interview with Jason Douglas, who voices the Almighty Beerus, from Dragon Ball Super! ...as well as literally a thousand other characters such as Krieg from Borderlands, Miles from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gildarts from Fairy Tail, Miche from Attack on Titan, Claude from Black Butler 2, Azuma from Deadman Wonderland, Masaoka from Psycho Pass, and Aokiji from One Piece. He also acted as Satan in Preacher, Tobin in The Walking Dead, Detective Munn in Breaking Bad, and the cabbie in No Country for Old Men.

Jason shares so much about the history of his work in anime, that was alien and fascinating to me. Again, organically the discussion focused a lot on being a journeyman or "blue collar actor," as Jason put it. He has a very pragmatic approach to his work and some words of wisdom to anyone getting into the industry.

I want to thank both of these men who serve as inspiration, both in their craftsmanship and also their attitudes of gratitude to be working in an industry they love.

I would also like to thank you, our fans, for sticking with us on a great month, which was admittedly a bit of a departure from the regular show. We are so excited for the year ahead and we hope you will continue to follow us into what we have dubbed: The Year of Goonthulhu!
