Every week, I explore (and more importantly EXPLAIN!) music, filmmaking, and the other creative arts. Personal tastes are not technique. I don’t waste our time with the same old circular “it was good because I liked it because it was good.” No sir! I deconstruct and reverse engineer composition, screenwriting, and how to correctly pronounce the word “folks.”
Who am I? I’m Carl King: musician, animated show creator, and author. You might even remember me as Sir Millard Mulch or Dr. Zoltan. I’ve worked with Dweezil Zappa, Mike Keneally, Devin Townsend, Morgan Agren, Virgil Donati, and Brendon Small. Past guests on my show include Steve Vai, Jon Schnepp of Metalocalypse, Mark Borchardt (Coven), and Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle.
So give it a listening, and let’s get beginned!

The Long Kiss Goodnight + Creative Projects: How To Focus On And Complete Them
Here are two questions. Why did screenwriter Shane Black NOT work for 9 years after his film The Long Kiss Goodnight? And coincidentally, if you’ve got a Creative Project, how can you focus on and complete it?
I’ll attempt to answer those questions in episode 72 of The Carl King Show. Understanding is useful, so here we go.

Adult Swim-Style Writing - How Not To Do It
Imagine being such a fan of Adult Swim, that you decide to make your own animated TV pilot. You hire writers, voice actors, and an animator — and you spend two years of your life and $12,000 on it.
And when it’s finished, you realize: I have NO idea what I’m doing. Well, that happened to me in 2019, and it was called The Oracle of Outer Space. What went wrong? What did I screw up? Understanding is useful, so let’s find out.

How Buddhism Makes Me Better Than Other People
It doesn't. I'm making a joke. I’m going to share some common ideas from the world of Eastern philosophy and Stoicism. And how they have helped me be NOT better than other people.

Customer Reviews
Entertaining informative information with a twist of sarcastic witt
I always enjoy Carl’s explanations and options about art and his passion for going against the societal grain. Furthermore, he is an advocate for NOT doing things that necessarily follow the norm but rather encourages one to put aside fear of judgment and not be afraid to unlock your deep (and sometimes hidden) creative potential. Carl has made farts not embarrassing anymore. Thanks for stepping out and being a leader in this movement.
Great info, great message, great content, and well delivered.

Creative Carl King
Carl can discuss why flies prefer to land on, what they choose to land on, vs why bee’s are designed to pollinate flora. The Carl King Podcast is more than music, filmmaking and general creative stuff. It’s all those things that sometimes cross our minds we don’t often discuss. Plus it’s an open door to the mind of a master of creative genius. And it’s entertaining too! Thank you for the Carl King Podcast, Carl. Long-time listener, fan forever.
Awesome Listen
Interesting topics from music to film to personal reflections.
