It was my extreme pleasure to speak to Orlando Jones about two things that were very important to him, Star Wars, and his new web show from Machinima, Tainted Love.

To listen to the interview, you’ll need to head over to Full of Sith where Mike Pilot, Consetta Parker, and I grilled him about his latest projects as well as the influence Star Wars has had in his life.

As for Tainted Love, it’s something perfect for fans of Big Shiny Robot!

The first episode is posted below, but know that this is Orlando Jones’s attempt to bring graphic novel sensibilities to short form storytelling (and eventually long form storytelling.) The production value of transitions and comic book aesthetic of the show is second to none. You can watch the first episode below and it will take you through all six episodes of the first story arc, starring Jones himself, Eric Roberts, and others.

It was a very fun interview about a fun project and Star Wars, so how could you possibly go wrong?

Perhaps my favorite bit was when he explained to us how his mother had to talk him into seeing Star Wars for the first time. He’s a good guy and I think you’ll enjoy listening to the interview.
