Comic Crusaders Podcast #638 - Erik Jensen

When the universe hands you the hardest storyline you’ve ever faced, you either crumble or you rise. And actor, writer, director, and full-on superhero Erik Jensen didn’t just rise he soared. Fresh off his battle and successful treatment for colorectal cancer, Erik sat down with the Comic Crusaders Podcast to share one of the most powerful, uplifting stories you’ll hear all year.

His secret weapon during treatment? Not a mystical artifact. Not a Hollywood miracle. Comic books. The classics. The comfort reads. The heroes that held his hand through chemo and fear and uncertainty. Reconnecting with his old collection became a lifelineand now he’s paying that love forward by selling those beloved books to support children battling cancer at Sloan Kettering. That’s heroism with heart, Brooklyn level grit, and big WEPA energy all rolled together.

But the journey doesn’t end there. His new film, Brooklyn, Minnesota, where he stars alongside his daughter and legend Amy Madigan, is winning awards across the festival circuit. It’s a raw, emotional, beautifully crafted story about family, identity, and healing. The movie proves what we already know: Erik Jensen’s storytelling hits straight to the soul.

This conversation is powerful, funny, deep, vulnerable, and absolutely unforgettable. And if you don’t walk away inspired, check your pulse your battery might be low.
