LUSH, TROPICAL, and EXOTIC! The Epic Tiki is a weekly podcast hosted by comedian and filmmaker Luke Soin.
Join Luke as he hangs and chats with his friends and other comedians, filmmakers, and interesting peoples. Laid-back, conversational, humorous. The podcast mixes comedy, movie talk, personal stories, joke-writing, pop culture, etc. Topics vary. Could be comedy careers, personal stories, film & movies, sometimes deep dives into fandoms (e.g. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings), pop culture, life experiences.
Luke interjects with his comedic sensibilities; there’s often spontaneous or tangential humor, sharing of weird or funny anecdotes. It’s not super polished in a formal sense — more genuine and casual.
It tries to feel like you’re just hanging out with these people.

Brendon’s prank-heavy comedy, what makes him enjoy doing this type of humor, and some of his favorite examples of his work.
They also talk about the Alien franchise and how the cast of Alien Romulus is not as good as in the original Alien.
Luke also thanked Brendon for reading my script and giving some good notes on it. And we talk about one of Brendon’s shows he did while visiting our fair city of Sacramento, as well as a bunch of other stuff.
