Episode thirty-seven of The Funky Flavor Podcast features creator/writer Ernie Altbacker to discuss his Kickstarter campaign for AREA 51 STUDIOS #3. The campaign runs through Tue, June 9 2026 8:05 AM PDT.

AREA 51 STUDIOS #3

Written by Ernie Altbacker

Art/Colors/Letters by Steve Bryant

Our story centers on one alien producer in particular, Zephril Boon. ZB, as friends and frenemies alike call him, lives to rub elbows, claws, tentacles, pseudopods, testenticals (don't ask) with the same outrageous, weird, hilarious, and exhilarating personalities and situations that we’re familiar with in “our” Hollywood. Only…more so.

ZB is on the last of a long queue of "very last" chances. This is it! He'll do anything to save his once-great career from the flaming dumpster fire that it will become if his new show, The Human Race, fails.
