Making Nostalgia and Immersion Profitable w/ Jimmy Wong Full disCOURSE with Josh Elkin

On this week’s menu: we’re discussing real life adaptations of games and anime…food! From Calcifer’s Breakfast in Howl’s Moving Castle to Minecraft cake, the true impact of a game or show can be felt literally in our stomach as hunger pains. The desire to eat these foods in “IRL” has led to lucrative business opportunities via themed cafes, amusement park menus, and attempts at recipes from your favorite creators to bring fantasy into reality. 

Joining the table is actor, musician, and fellow nerd Jimmy Wong to discuss the ultimate food and drink icons of fantasy and games but also how a collective desire for these things is a marker of success in the medium.
