To help breakdown the series, we get some superhero assistance from SpreeNoel, a subject matter expert for all things Marvel. During our conversation, you'll also hear some 'super' input from some of the stars of the show: Elizabeth Olsen, Teyonah Parris, and Kat Dennings. WandaVision is available now on Disney+.

This week's PEOPLE guest is actor Ray Chase. Chase is best known for his versatility as a voice actor in video games and animation, as well as being a major spokesperson for brands such as Coke Zero, Progressive, Welch's, Corona Light, and Naturebox.

Momocon is the convention that we like to say kicks off the convention season. They continue to grow in size and get better in quality and guests every year. This year one of the many guests we spoke with was Chris Sabat, the legendary voice actor who plays the role of Vegeta in the Dragon Ball series (as well as Piccolo, Yamcha, Mr. Popo, and many more). Chris is our fourth guest in our PEOPLE series that we kicked off Dec. 7, 2018, and will run through January. We began with actress Alex Paxton-Beesley, Nancy Grace, and Chris's Dragon Ball compatriot Kyle Hebert (who voices Gohan).

In Week 3 of our PEOPLE series, our featured guest is voiceover artist Kyle Hebert. Momocon has done an excellent job of continuously attracting big names as special guests to the convention. So when we heard a voice actor from Fire Emblem, Bleach, and Dragon Ball was coming we had to be there.
Kyle is a funny, talented, humble guy with good advice and honestly, he thought he could beat TBZ as Perfect Cell (which we know is impossible, he's perfect).
Enjoy the interview!
