Whatever We Want! We had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Brandon Swofford! Brandon has worked on so many amazing projects including Marvel's What If...? Since we've been talking about What If on the podcast, we thought it would be great to chat with Brandon about his experience on the show at Marvel Studios. He gives great insights about his responsibilities on the show. But that's not all! We talk about animation as a medium, the entertainment industry, Bradon's career, and so much more! He's worked on some amazing shows like Duck Tales, Monsters at Work, Bob's Burgers, and so much more! He's met some amazing creatives at Marvel/Disney like A.C. Bradley and Matthew Chauncey (the creatives/writers behind What If...?)! He's a fan too so geek out with us! We talk about our theories and predictions for upcoming What If episodes with Kilmonger saving Tony Stark, Thor, and more! Thank you as always for the continued support! Check out Brandon!
