Geek Girl Riot is back with another trainwrecks extravaganza, before getting into the epic battle of Godzilla vs. Kong.
I have the talented DE’WAYNE on my show. I got to meet him on a tour we did 2 years ago and we’ve been in touch ever since, he’s an up and coming artist everyone should know about as he’s always pushing the boundaries and limits with his art.
