The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 16: Pop Culture Design with Christine Taylor

November 6th, 2009 | by Donovan Beery
Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show

Once we left the Willoughby Design Group, we were off to check out some comic shops, an impromptu tour of HAMMERPRESS (we need to schedule another Kansas City podcast tour just to talk to these amazing designers), then went to visit Christine Taylor and get a short tour of the Hallmark offices. By far, this place had more resources for creatives in one area than I have ever seen. When you hire this many creatives, it is nice to see they do a lot of good things to keep them that way. Original items like this are just hanging in the hallway.

And in between the tour and dinner at the amazing Oklahoma Joe’s (now I get why KC is known for BBQ), we spoke with Christine about the Tron arcade game and a lot of the pop culture entities she has to work on for her day job. Things like The Simpsons, Star Wars, Twilight, The Office and 30 Rock. And we bring you another student tip from Mig Reyes.

We leave a few things undecided, and need your help to determine:

  • What is the 3rd best Star Wars movie?
  • What is the best 30 minutes from any of the Star Wars movies?
  • And do I need to watch any bit of that Twilight movie?

Let us know in the comments below.
