Episode 46 - Walt Simonson

Step into Heavy Metal Presents: Geoff Boucher's Mindspace, a podcast that feels more like a series of late-night, behind-the-velvet-rope conversations than a formal interview show. For decades, Geoff Boucher has been the person asking the questions on some of pop culture's biggest stages, from moderating legendary Hall H panels at Comic-Con to sitting down with icons across film and television. That unique access and deep well of experience informs every episode. Here, the dynamic flips slightly-it's a collaborative exploration rather than a simple Q&A. Each week, Boucher is joined by notable creators, stars, and influencers, but the goal isn't just to recap a career. Instead, they wander through the fascinating back alleys of storytelling, unearthing details and anecdotes that rarely make it into official press tours. You'll hear never-told stories, deep-cut trivia, and genuine, meandering discussions that cover everything from blockbuster science fiction to niche artistic pursuits. The result is a consistently surprising dive into the ideas and passions that fuel our favorite entertainment. Produced in collaboration with Heavy Metal and DIGA Studios, this podcast is for anyone who believes the most interesting part of a story is often the one you haven't heard yet. It’s about the connective tissue between genres and the human moments behind the iconic work. Tune in for a thoughtful, engaging, and often revelatory look at the creative minds shaping the worlds we love to get lost in.
