Summary

In this bonus episode Brian and Rebekah talk with Shawn Simmons the creator of the hit YouTube Premium series WAYNE!   This episode was a blast and Shawn was a fantastic guest and really dives into what makes Wayne so special and all of the things we fans fell in love with.  A series so amazing that even Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick the writers from Deadpool wanted to get involved on this project.   We talk about the hopes for a season 2, what we as fans can do and what to expect.  There’s some great on set stories here as well that you have to hear.  And one includes Jon and Jamie Champagne, the Champagne twins who play Carl and Teddy and you HAVE TO HEAR THIS!!!  But we don’t always talk about Wayne and in true Pop Culture Leftovers fashion we kind of go off the rails and talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Shawn and that’s something that has to be heard.  I really had a great time on this one and I hope our listeners enjoy this chat with Shawn as much as Rebekah and I did.  And if you haven’t watched Wayne please subscribe to YouTube Premium and watch all 10 episodes.  I promise you that you won’t regret it!  The first episode is free to watch on YouTube and you’ll be hooked.  Be sure to let YouTube know on Twitter, Instagram and all the social media platforms that you want Wayne season 2.  Now enjoy this very special episode with Shawn Simmons.
