On this week's episode of the Epic Film Guys... HIATUS!!! After two years of weekly episodes, I've finally just reached a point where I desperately need to get some rest and a break from the show. I've still got our War for the Planet of the Apes and Dunkirk reviews as well as the megasode (episode 108) to be released, and they will see release in the coming weeks, but in the meantime I'm taking some much-needed time off from the show and we'll be posting up some EFG "Rewind" episodes in the...
On this week's episode of the Epic Film Guys... HIATUS!!! After two years of weekly episodes, I've finally just reached a point where I desperately need to get some rest and a break from the show. I've still got our War for the Planet of the Apes and Dunkirk reviews as well as the megasode (episode 108) to be released, and they will see release in the coming weeks, but in the meantime I'm taking some much-needed time off from the show and we'll be posting up some EFG "Rewind" episodes in the interim.
For this first-ever EFG Rewind, I decided to go back to episodes 030 and 031 of the podcast where we held our first-ever fan celebration and answered YOUR questions from facebook and twitter. The celebration was hosted by Emily of the Classy Little Podcast (now the host of The Story Behind). I felt this would be a great opportunity for newer listeners to check out some older stuff that we put out, as these episodes are from about a year and a half ago. I clipped out everything but the actual celebration and added some new PodFix Network promos, as well as our featured actress, Viola Davis.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for plenty of content coming from the Epic Film Guys, and we'll be back with brand-new content very soon. Thank you very much for all of your support, and we'll see you at the movies!
