Joining the conversation is Jason Spisak (3:52), the iconic voice to Silco, who shares insights into the emotional depth of this role and realism that make this Arcane character unforgettable. We also chat with Mick Wingert (6:17), who voices Heimerdinger, discussing the special bond with League of Legends fans and what people can expect from Season 2.
Travel back in time with us as Alison Sealy-Smith (11:48) reflects on her iconic portrayal of Storm in the X-Men series and the profound impact of representation in media. Fans of all backgrounds, from a white man in a rural area to a mother-daughter duo, have found inspiration in Storm's leadership and grace. Meanwhile, Lenore Zann (17:15) takes us on a nostalgic ride through her Disney-filled childhood and her incredible journey to becoming a superhero herself as Rogue. Her upcoming memoir "A Rogue's Tale" promises to captivate readers with its personal stories.
