Dying In the Hollywood Hills

In another quarantine edition of DITHH, Ryan and Jacob welcome actress/musician/comedian/Glen's mom Jackie Tohn via the internets to discuss 1988 "E.T." rip-off "Mac and Me", the hustle of being a child actor, and how she ended up an ass-kicking wrestler on Netflix's "GLOW". Glen, present but fast asleep, makes nary a sound.

After a long hiatus that saw extended hospital stays for both of them, Ryan and Jacob are back. Kinda. From their separate bunkers while America is in lockdown, the boys discuss apocalypse preparedness, fiction you should probably not read whilst trapped alone in an apartment, and (rather remarkably) not the last Star War.

Ryan’s BFF Adam Carl swings by to drink a pitcher of iced tea and talk about being roomies in the ‘80s, trading childhood acting for adulthood directing and producing, “Uncle Buck”, the pitfalls of indie filmmaking, and somehow not at all about his brief tenure as a Ninja Turtle. #nightowls #ruckfreak #moleyrusselswart Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

As one half of the Pander Brothers, Arnold Pander has worked for decades as a writer, indie filmmaker, illustrator, comic book creator for the likes of DC and Dark Horse, and music video director for the Dandy Warhols and others. On this episode, Cap’n Ryan and Smee/Jacob kidnap him on a visit to LA to talk Portland authors, banned comics, hummable ‘80s tunes, and about 100 other things. Seriously, we cover a lot of ground over many glasses of wine, Budweisers in coozies, Stone IPAs, and Jacob’s trademark cheap whiskey. Make sure you head to amazon.com to preorder “Dissident X”, coming this fall from Dark Horse, and fusecomics.com to check out more Pander Brothers work.

Ryan and Jacob clink to Cinco de Mayo, rant about angry nerds with dumb opinions, confuse each other with U2 references, and tease an upcoming… well, you’ll see. Video version is available for Patreon subscribers! This episode is not sponsored by #Squarespace or #MeUndies, but we will pimp that shit so hard if they wanna join the goddamn club.

Ryan’s back and better than ever! Jacob’s at the tail end of a birthday bender. Recorded on Easter Sunday, they discuss Reese’s Pieces, LA’s latest immersive horror experience, Ryan's tooth trying to kill him, and magic sky man zombie Jesus.

Ryan and Jacob sit down over beers with New York Times best-selling author of "Kitchens of the Great Midwest" J. Ryan Stradal to discuss dessert bars, answer reader questions from last month's Book Squad, talk about Jacob meeting J.
