I’m still out here, making podcasts. It’s been a while since I launched a new indie show, and the entire social media landscape has changed since then. So forgive a bit of self-promo.
I’m working on a new actual-play podcast, called The Wandering Path. I’m producing, sound-designing, & GMing the first story. My players are Bex Taylor-Klaus, Lyn Rafil, Ian McQuown, & Mayanna Berrin. (Hopefully you’ll recognize one or two of those names, but even if you don’t, prepare to fall in love. They are all really crushing it!!)
We’re cooking up something really special, and I’m excited to share more soon!
Well, Bex Taylor Klaus wants to do a tell all on Voltron Legendary Defender. Thought she or another soul would want to save this for a milestone like the show being removed from Netflix (Apparently it’s leaving the platform forever December 14, 2024) or Amazon Studios/MGM casting their live-action Voltron movie. I guess there’s the fact that the Filipino GMA network managed to release a live-action Voltes V and announce a live action Tosho Daimos before a live action Voltron movie because of how badly Legendary Defender hurt the brand.
Anyway, considering Bex was ALLEGEDLY one of the behind the scenes voices pushing for representation and the altering of scenes in Season 8, this oughta be quite the crapstorm. Let’s see if she can explain why the giant robot show that should have been the easiest thing to market got a fandom that was so brutally insane and creatives that hated giant robots.
I think everyone who has seen the original movie headcanons Andrey as nonbinary, but for the sake of clarity: if I cast an enby like @bext-k in a role, imagine the character is nonbinary as well.
Elliot Page (he/him) as Mario Ambrosini
Brian Michael Smith (he/him) as Valery Michailov
Hunter Schafer (she/her) as Katya Goncharov
Ivory Aquino (she/her) as Sofia
Asia Kate Dillon (they/them) as Ice Pick Joe
Nicole Maines (she/her) as Dancer #2
Yeah Dancer #2 is a small part but she was famously played by @reallyndacarter in the original show and since both Lynda Carter and Nicole Maines were on Supergirl I just thought this would be fun!
Obviously this is just my opinion. If there’s anyone else you think would be good, or if you have any thoughts, feel free to share them! :D
We just hit 10% on our IGG campaign, so it’s time for our NEW CAST MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT! Bex Taylor Klaus (they/them) will be joining us this season playing the role of Misroch!

Welcome back! I had followed you back in 2018 when you were mostly inactive, so it's been a pleasant surprise to see you post again! Hope life's treated you well ✨

hey guess what! i got MARRIED!!! her name is Alicia and she’s the coolest most amazing human on the planet.
@bext-k: i’m so proud to be part of this union. it’s officially been ten and a half years! i’ve watched the industry change. i’ve experienced the financial shift. hit TV shows that should be regulated under cable contracts are paying nothing in residuals anymore, due to the streaming switch. in fact, some shows are taking money BACK!
this is why we are striking. we cannot make a living doing our work anymore. we deserve FAIR compensation for our art. the myth that we are all wealthy and spoiled needs to be killed, the majority of SAG actors are financially unstable these days.
please ask questions. please get activated. we are at a labor turning point in this country. it’s time to stand up.
BEX TAYLOR-KLAUS
Happy 29th Birthday
