Struggling female artist Wendy Watson, recruited by a secret agency, struggles to wrap her head around her bizarre new job -- fighting dangers humanity isn't prepared to face -- under the guidance of a handsome and relentlessly wholesome hero who calls himself "The Middleman" in this tongue-in-cheek adventure series.
Five Web Featurettes (about 18 minutes in total). Javier and actors explain the concept with clips and interview footage in promos that aired for ABC Family. There’s a set tour, showing off gadgets and hats, commentary on the comic roots of the series, and more on the Varsity Fanclub appearance.
Javi-Casts (14 of them, about an hour and 20 minutes total), which are web interviews with Javier where he answers fan questions. I appreciated seeing Wendy’s paintings showed off and some of the other writers appearing. Some fans seemed to want Wendy and the Middleman to get together, but I totally agree with Javier that it was a working/brother-and-sister-type relationship, not a romantic one.
Audition footage (12 minutes or so) for Natalie, Brit, Jake, and Mary Pat.
A short discussion of the Wilhelm scream (5 minutes), a sound effect first used in 1951, and clips of everywhere it was used in the series.
Five web promo sneak peeks
Five PSAs, fake public service announcements from the characters.
