Interview with "Anna and the Apocalypse" Actor Sarah Swire and Writer Alan McDonald (aka Whoever is Queer Shall Survive)
We sat down to interview Sarah Swire - who plays Steph North in "Anna and the Apocalypse" as well as Alan McDonald, writer of "Anna and the Apocalypse". Good times are had by all, including you. You will have a good time with this episode.
OH MY GOD! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!
Actually I can tell you how it happened! We recorded a podcast about Anna and the Apocalypse and since we talked about our favorite tiny queer girl, Steph North, a whole bunch I tagged actress Sarah Swire in the tweet about the episode and then both she and Alan McDonald, the writer of Anna and the Apocalypse got in touch to say thanks for the shout outs in the episode and then Jeremy was like "Hey would you guys want to come on and talk about Anna and the Apocalypse and they both said yes and we had to do it at a weird time of day because Alan is in Scotland so Chris couldn't make it but she was there in spirit.
Topics of conversation are far ranging but include:
-Not burying your gays
-Singing
-Dancing
-Choreographing
-The many times of year during which different drafts of this movie were set
-Creating honest queerness in your characters
-Female protagonists not being your prize for hanging around long enough
-Sliding Doors alternate universe where this movie never happens
-Why directors should always want writers on their set
-Overcoming traditional masculinity at the end of the world
-Sarah's voice and how it's very good
-Ben Wiggins, the man who makes a mockery out of the concept of sexuality
-Optimus Prime's Linked in account
