Frank McDonnell is a drummer, singer, songwriter, and screenwriter from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania with over 50 years of experience in the music business. Frank was the drummer of Wellington Arrangement in the 1970s, was signed to Decca Records, and toured with the likes of The Monkees and Bruce Springsteen. Decades later, he's still at it, releasing music under the moniker Supa Philly and entering the world of screenwriting. I've known Frank my whole life, and his story is very interesting!

One of my favorite bands of all time is KISS. They've also been in comic books, animation, video games, toys, etc. I've always wondered why they never had their own proper animated series or movies? Here are some ideas I'd have for what that could be...

One of my earliest guests was St Petersburg, FL-based guitarist Marko Bojkovic. Marko recently joined the metal band Made from Stars, and is currently in the studio recording their next release. He happened to be near my house, so I figured why not have him stop by and catch up on what he's been doing!

In recent years, the talk of making a new/reimagined Power Rangers reboot has intensified. Now that the franchise is owned by Hasbro, it seems that this is inevitable. What would I do if I was writing it? Check out this video to find out some of the ideas I came up with!

Being a lifelong fan of the Bill & Ted movies, I always loved the idea of an in-depth "Behind the Music" type documentary about the career of the Wyld Stallyns, the fictional band led by Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan that was said to inspire an age of universal harmony and prosperity. At some point between "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and "Bill & Ted Face the Music," we learned that things didn't always work out the way they wanted it to. Could you imagine if there were a full-length documentary about the rise, fall, and comeback of the Wyld Stallyns? How did Bill & Ted's band fall into obscurity? What could be the aftermath of "Face the Music"?
This was inspired by "This Is Spinal Tap," "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster," and other similar films. Party on, dudes! **Contains SPOILERS for all 3 Bill & Ted films, including "Bill & Ted Face the Music"**
Check out my podcast (available on all platforms) about "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" here:

As we look ahead to Phases 5, 6, and beyond of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the big question on most fans' minds is: how will the X-Men fit into all this? More importantly, how could the X-Men fit into established MCU continuity (without any time travel/multiverse shenanigans)? I've thought about this for a while and wanted to share my ideas about how it could be done, and how I would do it. Enjoy!

One of the most iconic characters of all time has not been in his own animated movie in a VERY long time. What would a Mickey origin story look like? How did he meet Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Pluto, etc? What kind of adventures could they get into? We've seen shows like DuckTales, Goof Troop, Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and movies like A Goofy Movie and its sequel. Why not one with Mickey, the one who started it all?
