Daron and Nye
14 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 5 years ago -Daron and Nye are a BIG DEAL is a conversational show with two overworked dads - an actor and animator - who, once a week,
get permission from their wives to dick around on their expensive computers.
They talk about working in 'the biz' .... specifically animation, games and talk indie to mega-corporate hollywood.
They also do bits, get guests, and often talk parenting, struggling to make it,
and their compound fear of AI taking over the world.
Trust us, we’re a big deal. Big.
