WHAT MAKES NARUTO SO POPULAR?
Naruto fans know the answer, but if you don't know the show, listen up! We received this message from Maile, so pay attention: "Recently on NPR's show "Day-to-Day" they did a piece on my cartoon Naruto! Pretty cool - and includes a couple of audio clips! Give it a listen if you feel like it - it's short!"

We agree -- give it a listen. And for you kids out there, have your parents listen to it, too. They might be surprised! [listen here]

Many thanks to both James and Patty Wright for their consideration and making this happen! Come out and be a part of this advanced screening! [official site]


"WALTER KOENIG: EXPOSED!", a film by Danielle Koenig
This 40 minute film reveals the truth about who Walter is and what he's been doing for the last 40 years, as told by someone who should know --- his daughter. Narrated by Alan Hunt, you'll be amazed by what you don't know about Walter Koenig!

[download now]
