Ellen Hutter is all worked up about our latest episode and it's easy to see why... It's a two hour, free-wheeling (as in rambling and nearly incoherent) grab bag episode in which we blather on endlessly about every topic that happened to pop into our heads, mostly movies and TV-related stuff, including a lot of trivia that nobody really cares about and a lot that we probably already talked about in previous episodes. Nosferatu (2024) is covered first, then everything from Liam Neeson's trio of snow-bound action movies for Netflix, to shark-jumping Fonzies and the heyday of network TV. Also mentioned: Udo Kier, David Lynch, Ed Wood, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Dark Shadows, Dracula, Frankenstein, Gush, Sinners, The Substance, The Honeymooners, Jonathan Frid, Roseanne, Mary Tyler Moore, AI, Tom Cruise, and much, much more. We'd call it a "stream of consciousness" episode but we're not sure we were both completely conscious while recording it. 0:00 Into 0:27 Vampires again 24:37 Gushing about ‘Gush’ 26:14 Udo Kier 1944 - 2025 32:36 Toxic Frid Fans 43:55 The Substance and Sinners… 52:08 The new Wolf Man… 54:00 Remakes, reboots, and reality 59:10 Liam Neeson’s Triple Threat 1:02:38 The Stranger Things trailer 1:04:39 Jumping the Shark 1:10:36 Network Television 1:26:59 Wood Books 1:33:34 Lincoln Lawyer, Goliath and Alien Earth 1:35:42 Del Toro’s Frankenstein 1:42:59 Lifemask of a dead guy… 1:43:55 Indiana Jones Fridge Raider 1:52:51 Google AI makes David Lynch a fan of Ed Wood 1:55:09 All talked out…

DARK SHADOWS gets over 19,000 views on YouTube
I'm happy to see our discussion of DARK SHADOWS getting over 19,000 views in eight months on YouTube -- which is pretty impressive for our podcast.
Hard to say why an episode focusing on the various TV and movie incarnations of Barnabas Collins and company should get such a positive reaction from viewers, but I suppose we can't completely rule out the possibility that it's a pretty entertaining episode.
Take a look and let me know what you think... https://youtu.be/A5xQyLnUdOc

DEMON RESURRECTION on Roku, Amazon, Tubi, Xumo, Mometu…
Very happy to announce that my film, DEMON RESURRECTION, is now streaming free on the official ROKU channel! Roku makes an excellent presentation of the film, with a sharp, vivid, detailed picture, a good, strong audio track and minimal advertising. In watching the film again for the first time in quite awhile, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. We did a damn good job on DEMON RESURRECTION, if I say so myself, and I’ll be forever grateful to our brilliant cast and our terrific crew, especially our producers, Frank Cilla and Ed Wheeler. Everyone made an indespensible contribution to the finished film and I’m very proud of what we were able to accomplish. Now all we have to do is get the word out so more people see it and it finally becomes the cult hit it deserves to be, so spread the word and share the link(s) below!
