The Strangers in Paradise graphic novel is also about to become a film, directed by Angela Robinson, who formerly directed Wonder Woman's origin story - Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.

The forth book in the Millenium saga, not written by the original writer who passed away, will also be made into a film, and Chen is torn between loyalty to the source material, and her love of the franchise and actress Claire Foy, newly cast in the lead role;

2. Main story -

We talked about the thrill of the fandom mashup - putting two of your favorite things together to enhance one another. Shiri shares a bit about her fan-made movie "Angel in the Office", a mashup of... you guessed it.

To expand on that, we had the pleasure of interviewing the lovely Lauren Eggert-Crowe, creator of SunnydaleHam, the Buffy/Hamilton crossover twitter and Tumblr accounts.

We talked about missing fanzines; the problematic terms "fans" and "fangirls"; women on the West Wing; tumblr vs. twitter, and of course Buffy and Hamilton in all their similarities and differences; and we tried to come up with our own SunnydaleHam tweet on the spot.

We couldn't help asking Lauren about her feelings towards the "Joss Whedon Thing..." and heard her thoughts on Whedon as a feminist, separating the love for a show with the love for the creators; Buffy and the lack of diversity, and much more.
