Podcast 101: Fred Van Lente; What did you think?

Postby BD » Fri May 21, 2010 12:42 am

Gang thanks to Bertone for the interview. What did you think?

The opening music is from the classic 1960 Spider-Man Cartoon.

Sorry to those who submitted questions that weren't used. I had to be discriminating as some of them were a bit hostile.

Twas fun to do and I'll be doing more of these for convention season this summer.

Damn, never realised how much of a suck up I sound like.

Kudos on the interview Bertone, I'll admit I was worried given this site has given birth to the term Van Lente rape but you handled yourself like a pro, sorry for my overlong questions though.

I would totally buy that What if Peter Parker didn't get bit by the spider story too, sounds like a really interesting take on the character. Nice to see he enjoys breaking Bad too.

Good interview. And I'd say that even if you hadn't used my question.

It was a good interview. It was nice to see that Mr. Van lente seems like a nice guy and that Bertone handled the questions well (even if mine wasn't asked but then, he did (sort of) adress it).

You did a great job, Bertone! This was an entertaining and informative show.

One complaint: I wish you had pressed him a bit on the new direction for Web of Spider-Man. It seems like the book is simply turning into a de facto fourth ASM issue a month, and I gathered from your tone that you thought the same thing, but you never followed up on it. You should have asked him to clarify what would make this book different.

I loved the podcast and want to thank you for posting it. I am a musician and I spent a lot of hours driving to concerts and really enjoy listening to the podcast. My question is, did Fred answer the question about the Chamelion and Peter's roommate (psycho gonzales) as to weather they had sex or did he just kind of dance around it? I wasn't clear on what the answer was. Did any of you catch it?

Thanks for asking my question Bertone, you rule man!

As for Van Lente, he really does seem like a nice person. Hopefully I meet him some day. :mrgreen:

Finally got to listen to this. Excellent job, Bertone! Great interview. And if Mr. Van Lente happens to be reading this, thank you very much for being such a gracious interviewee.

I appreciated his thoughtfulness and candor on my Martine question. It was nice to hear him just say "Ya know what, I did just decide to do that," instead of dancing around it. And considering A) her murky past, and B) Bertone is correct that Mr. Van Lente and I might be the only two to understand that question, that answer is actually perfectly acceptable to me. I feel a lot better about the issue in general now. So thanks to Mr. Van Lente for the answer! And cheers to a fellow Morbius fan [smilie=spidey_cheers.gif]

An excellent interview, Bertone! It seems FVL enjoys being interviewed, and seemed to make it more of a casual conversation, which can be heard in his answers..

Bertone, nicely done sir! Fred answered some tough questions about certain recent storylines and handled them well. Showed respect to the fans who interpreted (e.g. anyone who saw any movie before 1960...) the Chameleon scene as more than just "kisses on the floor". Thought his response was more than reasonable and helped clear the air a bit. Perhaps Fred should send the podcast link to others at the bullpen, they could learn some pointers from him on discussing a tough situation in an open, honest and non-defensive manner...

I just listened to this episode today while cooking spaghetti. Bertone, you did a fantastic job interviewing. You were cordial, and you always cushioned the harder questions with complements and diplomacy. That resulted in much better answers than it would have if the interview seemed more hostile.

As for Mr. Van Lente, he came off as a very nice guy and gave direct answers with out any dodging or bullshit. I'm not sure I agree with his writing philosophy, because it seems like he's more willing to play fast and loose with continuity than I would like (e.g., Black Cat's bad luck powers and that undead chick becoming a vampire having no real explanation). Nonetheless, he's a charming guy and I'll be receptive to the idea of checking out his work if he ever does work on a property in which I'm interested.

Great job Bertone, but I still say Michelle and Chameleon had sex.
