WEP President Bob Koplar

Greg and Marc interview World Events Productions President Bob Koplar, where they talk about Voltron: Legendary Defender, WonderCon, DreamWorks Animation, LEGO, Stephen Colbert, Deadpool, Lion Forge Comics, answer fan questions, and much more.

Bob Koplar has great things to say about the work that DreamWorks Animation has put into developing and launching Voltron: Legendary Defender, coming to Netflix on June 10, and what this means for WEP, the property owner of Voltron.

In addition to answering fan questions about the new show, Bob talks about some other current events occurring with Voltron. First off, there's a new 5-issue comic book mini-series coming out in July from Lion Forge Comics, entitled Voltron: Legendary Defender, which is a story supplement to the DreamWorks Animation show, and it's written by Story Editor Tim Hedrick and episode writer Mitch Iverson.
