Episode Side File #3 - Meet Matt Anderson; or, Conspiratorial Math

0:00 36:34

Grab your conspiracy theory Koosh Ball, check your current age, and join us for another Side File as Dash, Angel, and Melz sit down with podcaster, writer, and Friend, Matt Anderson.

Across a conversation about comics, conspiracies, horror movies, and the deeply questionable decisions that lead someone into podcasting, we learn how Matt went from wanting to write comics as a kid to actually doing it, why he considers himself the ultimate victor over one particularly discouraging teacher, and how it feels to be nine years old.

Along the way, Matt tells us how the return of The X-Files derailed his shot at writing an ongoing comic for IDW, digs up his original 2015 pitch and actually reads it for us, and discovers some suspicious similarities between his idea and where the show eventually went. We also devise a conspiracy theory fighting tournament and learn far more than anyone requested about the twenty pages of erotic Kung Fu Panda fanfiction inspired by a character Matt created.

If you're reading this, you're a friend.
