MTV Overdrive on The Nines

January 30, 2007 Follow Up, Projects, Sundance, The Nines

MTV Josh Horowitz from MTV News wrote in to point out that The Flash business wasn’t the only thing they ran from our Sundance interview. In fact, the [full version](http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1550422&vid=129286), now up on MTV Overdrive, succeeds in making both Ryan and me sound coherent, which is no small feat.

Here’s what you can’t see in the video:

1. Ryan is sick with strep throat.
2. I’m wearing a Daring Fireball t-shirt. (You can see it in [some photos](http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls====255294) from that day.)
3. There are about 30 people just off camera, being occasionally shushed.

Josh was a good interviewer, honestly, so I’m sorry to harsh on him for The Flash business. I soon hope to have comic book news of my own to avoid discussing.
