INTERVIEW: Jay Baruchel & Van Jensen

Joining us for episode 125 of The Oblivion Bar Podcast is the writing duo behind the Dark Horse Canadian cult romance series TEAR US APART.

Separately, one is the writer of comic titles like TWO DEAD with artist Nate Powell, CRYPTOCRACY with Pete Woods, ARCA with Jesse Lonergan, and was actually nominated as the first “Comic Book Ambassador” by the U.S. State Department in 2016.

The other is a successful comedian, screenwriter, and director – you may know him from 2008’s Tropic Thunder, 2010’s She’s Out of My League, 2013’s This Is the End, and this year’s BlackBerry. Many might also know him as Hiccup Haddock from the How to Dragon Your Dragon franchise.

It is our honor to welcome both Van Jensen and Jay Baruchel to The Oblivion Bar Podcast!
