The Ambulance (featuring Leila Del Duca)
In this episode Dirk is joined by an exceptionally talented artist Leila Del Duca. Who better to discuss Larry Cohen's "The Ambulance" than a writer and illustrator of comics and graphic novels. The conversation gracefully wades through the film while also disecting the reality of being a professional artist. Leila was a wonderful guest who had many great things to say about the talented community of artists in Portland and beyond.

The Ambulance: “A comic-book artist meets a woman on the NY streets, but after a quick flirtation, she suddenly collapses, and is picked-up by an old ambulance. He checks all the hospitals in the area, but the woman seems to have disappeared.” –IMDB
UPDATED 7/28/20 - This was one of our early episodes, before we added movie clips and other enhancements, so we did a quick "redux" of the episode, and added a special surprise (right around the 1:03 mark).
