My guest this week is Damian Pelliccione, who started his career as an actor — if you watch closely, you can catch him on a 2005 episode of Gillmore Girls. Twenty years later, he’s in a very different role, as the co-founder and CEO of the streaming video service Revry. That service hosts an eclectic mix of queer-themed movies, shows, and original web series (including King of Drag, which just launched its second season). But despite having dedicated the last decade of his life to building this business, these days Damian feels particularly nostalgic for a time in his life when none of it would have been possible.
We’ll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I’ll be a guest at the pop culture convention Ancient City Con in Florida this weekend, September 25, 26, and 27. I hope to see you there!
And! I have a new video up on YouTube about the many ways in which Tim Curry shaped our lives. Check that out at youtube.com/mattbaume .
