Anthony's Asylum Anthony R. W. Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff. That's where my podcast Anthony's Asylum comes in. With Anthony's Asylum I'll discuss topics I'm devoted to - everything from talking about movies and video games that I love to the news that intrigues me most in the movie, game, and tech industries. So join me on a ride through Anthony's Asylum - my plan is to deliver a new podcast weekly, and I know the thing about plans is that they're neither foolproof nor consistent, but I will try my hardest to publish the best content that I can, when I can, and weekly sounds about right to me.
