CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on The Eddie Volkman Show on WSSR-FM (Star 96.7 Joliet, Illinois) on April 29th, 2022, reviewing the new animation film, “Pompo the Cinephile,” based on a popular Manga comic, in theaters on April 29th.

Pompo (voice of Brianna Gentilella in the English dub) is a pint size film producer, who grew up with her master filmmaker grandfather (John H. Mayer), and her magic ability is she can take any film script and make it better. Her production assistant is Gene (Christopher Trindade), a movie super fan who dreams of cinema all day long. When a great film opportunity comes along, Pompo trusts Gene to direct for the first time.
