    This is the second part of our extended conversation with Ben Crane and boy, did we have a fun chat. We covered D23 Park Announcements, Epic Universe, our favorite monsters, and even Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida.

    Also, don't forget about the upcoming series of events Ben is hosting at Sun on the Beach in Kissimmee called Rad Retreat. Rad Retreat is a weekly pop culture party with themed events, cosplay, vendors, fans, and most importantly - fun!
