The prototypical scene sets Corbin, vlogger and webmaster of Iheartvampires.net, simultaneously speaking to her fan followers via webcam, while we follow the action from the vantage point of a bat on the wall in her best buddy Luci‘s [...]
Created by Brad Anner, Zach Anner, Jordan Crowder, Chris Demarais, Aaron Marquis and Marshall Rimmer (all but Brad star in the show) The Wingmen suffers from a few things, not the least of which is the length of each episode. It’s quite possible that the several creative voices making this show also creates a preciousness that allows things to stay in that should be long gone or at the very least cut way down.
