4[8:39] Victoria, how's it going? Doing well. I'm very excited to talk about the oneand only John Mulaney. I feel like we have similarities in, you know, being.Track

4[9:41] So you're living in Chicago right now. You're living the sketch comedy dream.Dream? Like, what have you been up to over the last few months or so?Oh, man. So I am, I, you know, moved back to Chicago last year from Detroit.I'm back at the Second City.I finished the conservatory slash grad review program, which was really awesome.And now I'm getting ready for my own SNL showcase because I am an SNL scholarat the Second City, which justmeans that Saturday Night Live pays for my classes and training there.And at the end of it, we get to put together whether a showcase that is SNL-likeand that it's sketches and solo pieces.And yeah, that's open to the public. So if you're around, feel free to come.I'm also just doing some writing and performing on the side too.Track 4[10:28] Yeah, if you're in Chicago, that sounds like an awesome deal.Go support Victoria and go support these SNL scholars and what they're doingover there at Second City in Chicago.It's such a cool thing. If I live closer, I would have already attended.I think I missed it by a week as well when I was up there last.Yeah, you should just, I don't know.Track 4[10:48] Rearrange your whole life and come back to Chicago. No excuse is she saying? Yes.We have, I mean, the SNL scholars are four of us.One of them quite literally flew across the world to be here from Austria.So it's a nice blend of folks that we've got in the cast.Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm excited to hear how it goes.And, again, if anybody's in the area, please go check it out.Go check out Victoria there at Second City.Somebody who probably is an influence to a lot of Second City folks,I'm sure you included, is our topic today, John Mulaney.He's a stand-up by trade. He auditioned to be a cast member for SNL.He auditioned at the same time as Nick Kroll, Donald Glover,Ellie Kemper, Bobby Moynihan, who obviously ended up getting it.Mulaney did not get the cast member job, but he ended up being offered a writingjob, which he immediately accepted.So he was a writer from 2009 to 2012.So going from auditioning to be a cast member to getting a writing job,that's not a bad deal, Victoria.I would certainly take that. I don't know about you. I would.I would take a janitor job at SNL, to be honest with you.Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if they offered me the janitor job, if they offered me whateverpage, I always wanted to be, I should have started young and tried to be a page.I know. Even then, though, it's so hard.Track 4[12:16] It's easier if you're in New York City and had connections to NBC to be a page.Yeah, and I think NBC and SNL made the right choice.Mulaney probably would have been a pretty decent cast member.Remember, he would have added his own flair, but we got the chance to reallyenjoy his writing stuff and his work as a writer.So I want to talk about his stand-up, Victoria. Are you a fan of Mulaney's stand-up?I am. So to be completely honest.It's going to shock some people here. I didn't really know about John Mulaney up until 2019.I had no idea who he was, and I've always been an SNL fan.I never went deep, though, into learning who the writers were or whatnot.But a friend of mine told me, you know, there's this guy.He just released a special on Netflix. He's so up your alley.And I go, what's his name? She goes, you don't know who that is?It's an SNL writer, John Mulaney. And I go, I have no idea who that is.Track 4[13:22] And watched his stand-up. And I don't want to say fell in love because that's inappropriate.But I did come to love his comedy very much.I'm a little bit in love with Mulaney and his comedy. So you could say fellin love. I think that's somewhat appropriate.I just don't, you know, he's got a partner. He does. I don't want to be disrespectful.He's a dad now. It's a little murky.Yeah, he's a full papa now.Yeah, so you fell in love with the stand-up material. What was it about thematerial that really grabbed you?I loved that he was weird.Or not weird, but he could find the weird in everyday things and make it funny.And not only that, you know, not to say he's a clean comedian by chance, but he...He's smart about his comedy, if that makes sense.He's smart and strategic versus, you know, going blue, as we say in comedy,to lean in as a crutch, which was really refreshing.Track 4[14:27] I think his stand-ups changed a little bit, and that's totally fair.And as it should, like as you grow and change, so should your content.I didn't expect it to stay the same, but even now with baby Jay,after everything that's happened the last couple of years, it's still really funny to me.And I love that he's kind of poked fun at his likability. And I think that's what it is.He's likable even in this new chapter of his life.Track 4[14:53] I think he has this specific relatability, if that makes sense.That's what I point about. He focuses on hyper-specific things,I think, his specific observations, but he makes them relatable,whether it's, I know that conceptthat he's talking about, or I've also observed that specific thing.I think Mulaney's always been so good at that. I think it does show up in his sketch work as well.You brought up a really good point, too, with Working Blue and his choice.I mean, he's not a clean comic. I mean, he does curse, but it's for effect.If he curses it's for a reason he's notjust using the f word as some sort of verbal pauselike a lot of comedians do it's uhmulaney's very strategic about it and he's he'svery strategic about his comedy in general victoria that's what i love abouta lot of his stand-up is i feel like one of my really funny friends is talkingto me and telling me a story so he makes it conversational but you can telland appreciate the craft that went into it at the same time It's a really neat,delicate balance that Mulaney strikes, I think.Track 4[16:03] You know, male comics, not all, of course, I'm not going to generalize them,but some of them, and quite a few of them, tend to play the D-bag role in their stand-up, right?And that can be funny at times, and I'm not opposed to it. I'll watch any type of comedy.I'll never say no, unless they're incredibly problematic or outwardly horrible.But that's what differentiated him. him he wasn't playing a bro he wasn't youknow womanizing he wasn't you know he didn't he never really punches down inhis comedy which is something i think is admirable too in a takeaway,yeah he punches a lot of times he punches at himself he like punches inward and especially.Track 4[16:51] Laterally yeah he punches laterally like a t-rex like you i think you shouldhave seen victoria on on camera she was punching and it looked like she waslike a t-rex arms punching laterally that's what and that's how i punch in reallife so don't mess oh no don't ever fight please,begging you um yeah noyou're right and he's very he's self-deprecating but not in an annoying kindof way it's like a lot of comedians are self-deprecating like all right it kindof comes off as fake like you're making fun of yourself but do you really believeit i think mulaney i believe it especially with baby j you mentioned baby jhis most recent special when he was talking Talking about his intervention,I think that was so great.It was self-deprecating, but it was like honest.And he was almost making fun of other people, but it would go back to him.And it was, I think Baby J was a, we've seen it throughout his comedy.Kid Gorgeous is one of my favorite stand-up specials of all time. Yes.That's from like 2018, around the time maybe that you get. That was the first one I watched.Yeah, okay. Maybe, yeah, Kid Gorgeous was the special. and I think that's oneof my favorite all-time stand-up specials by anybody and you could just seehis voice in that just it shines through and I think you could see.Track 4[18:10] On SNL, that comedic voice of Mulaney's show up on his work on SNL.I mean, would you say that that's correct? He has a stamp on his sketches. That's Mulaney. Yeah.Yeah, I was going to say in preparation for this, I've come to realize a lotof my favorite stuff on SNL written by Mulaney.Yeah. Or stuff that I'm laughing out loud. I'm like, oh, that's really funny.That's tied to Mulaney. but I do want to go back to his stand-up.I just want to shout out a joke he did.It's the McDonald's joke. I think it's from The Comeback Kid.He and his family are on a road trip, and they see the golden arches,and they start chanting, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's.And my dad pulled into the drive-thru, and we started cheering.And then he ordered one black coffee for himself.Track 4[19:08] And kept driving.And you know, as mad as that made me as a little kid, in retrospect,that is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.How perfect is that?He had a vanload of little kids, and he got black coffee, the one thing fromMcDonald's no child could enjoy.Yeah, and now in my family, my parents watch thatwith me every time we see a mcdonald's even though wedon't necessarily go to eat from mcdonald's anymore we chant mcdonald's so yeahit's something like that no that's perfect but something like that that's sospecific that that you know happened to him or whatever but it's so relatableat the same time like you just you understand that family dynamic,that he's talking about uh there was something from kid gorgeous uh one of myfavorite bits is when he was comparing Trump to a horse loose in a hospital.This guy being the president, it's like there's a horse loose in a hospital.Track 4[20:16] It's like there's a horse loose in a hospital.I think eventually everything's going to be okay, but I have no idea what's going to happen next.And neither do any of you, andneither do your parents, because there's a horse loose in the hospital.It's never happened before.No one knows what the horse is going to do next. Least of all the horse,he's never been in a hospital before.He's as confused as you are. That's a fantastic imagery, perfect metaphor, perfect beats.Like, I think that's one of the better bits of any comedian I've seen,like, in the last 10 years.And that's the perfect way to describe him.Because last week, I watched Kid Gorgeous again. And I was just like,yeah, no, that holds true. Yeah.Track 4[21:07] Yeah, no, it's a perfect, yeah, it's a perfect way to describe that president.Yeah, pretty much, yeah. And it's so Mulaney, too.It's such a Mulaney way to describe his presidency as well. That's what I love.Like, some of my favorite comedians, he's just, like, hyper-specific voice.We did another writer, Julio Torres, recently on the SNL Hall of Fame,and he's another one where it's just like I would watch a sketch,and that's Julio Torres' voice. I watched something from Mulaney,and that's Mulaney's perspective and his voice.So I think that's just a mark of a really great writer is nothing generic.It's your stamp on it. And I'm glad I have you on here today.I want to take advantage of like your training and your knowledge and everythingjust for sketch writing in general.Victoria, like as a viewer of sketch comedy and somebody who takes part in sketchcomedy, who works in it. What are some things you look for in good sketch writing?Oh, man.Track 4[22:09] Obviously, it's subjective and everyone's everyone's different.I love what I love callbacks to something.So if you're watching a full show, this only mostly pertains to stage or theatercomedy versus, you know, an SNL type show.But when they do something in the like in an earlier sketch and then they callit back, it's called a runner.You know there are all these ties i really love that because that's it'sa smart way to put the show together and create somewhat ofa theme in terms of sketch ijust love when there's a character with a purpose right andthere's a character who's who the other characters in the sketch complimentthem and this is something we were talking talking about before we went livehere everyone in that sketch serves a purpose and it's not just they're justthere to fill space and and let this main character be weird.We talked about Herb Welch.Track 4[23:06] We know this is about Herb Welch, but every character from the anchor at thestudio to the people he's interviewing, they all compliment him,and they serve a purpose to show something,a characteristic about that person, if that makes sense. I don't know if I'mdescribing that accurately.Yeah, no, it's almost where, Where even if a character on screen is nonsensical,it has to be grounded in something.Correct. That's what I want to say, grounded. Yeah, it has to be grounded in something.And the people that you mentioned, like the supporting characters,serve as the characters who maybe ground whatever's happening.Yes. Either to highlight the absurdity or whatever. But you're right.Good sketch writing, I think, nothing should be throwaway.Track 4[23:55] And I think that's, was that something like that you, what we're getting attoo is just, you know, like you said, like the grounding aspect,but also like no, like an economy of words in a way.Like you have to use the three minutes that you have like wisely and efficiently.Yes. And I like when things are succinct and to the point versus drawn out and we don't get it.Or I like what you said about throw away. way.Sometimes, a lot of times, I should say, sketches don't need those extra linesthat you think they need, right, to justify.You know, a character doesn't have to say, hi, mom and dad.We should be able to know that just based on, we need to start in the middle of that.Or of like, well, thanks for coming to my wine and cheese night.We're going to do X, Y, Z. It's just start in the middle of the scene.We get, like, we see the wine, we see the cheese, you know what I mean?I mean, it doesn't have to be about the wine and cheese.That's, you know, just a random situation, just an example.I don't know. And I just – my favorite thing about Mulaney is that he's kind of bold, too.I don't think a lot of people would be making the same jokes that he was making. I don't know.That's also to say I don't think he would make the same jokes as he did 10,12, 13, 14 years ago either.Track 4[25:21] Times have changed. But, you know, I think he did a good job of,I don't know, I like sometimes fearless comedy.And I'm not saying that as an excuse to be a jerk, right? Right, there's a difference.Yeah, there's a difference. You should never be a jerk and, you know,make cheap shots and, you know, make marginalized people the butt of the joke.That's not what I'm saying at all. But, you know, don't be so afraid to talkabout the things that are just real life and are real to those groups or, you know what I mean?Track 4[25:55] Yeah. Yeah, and I think we saw a lot of that show up, of course,and the thing that sticks out to me and you and probably every SNL fan withMulaney is a lot of those things that you just mentioned showed up in Stefan,which Mulaney wrote with Bill Hader.And that was the best thing, I think, that almost pretty much anybody has ever done on SNL.This is one of my personal favorite things ever on SNL. yeah andi think with stefan melanie's verygood at what you just mentioned victoria's showingon her notebook she has a stefan sticker soobviously a fan of stefan buti think melanie's good at referencing things that seem very specific butare oddly relatable in stefan he's very good about not punchingdown at marginalized people but still making jokes involving marginalizedpeople in a lot of ways so talk about victoria liketalk about stefan just in general like what do you want want to say about thisawesome piece of art and something ifailed to mention again i did not doa good job of explaining why i find in a sketch butspecificity specificity is that a word that's very much a word and you did agood job there you go thank you english is my second language as i like to jokeum no but he has specifics that make it incredibly weird and and stefan right um.Track 4[27:17] Um, you know, I don't, I can, I don't know that I can describe some of the things,you know, Stefan would say, again, I don't think we'd be making the same jokes today,which is fair and fine and understandable, but you know, I don't want to saythe word, but he was talking about real life suitcases where they wear,where they wear people, but he used the M word.Yes. And like, I think it was likelayering clothes on and putting on rollerblades. And you know what I mean?Just like how stupid, you know, that's just like a stupid, funny joke.Um, yeah, that imagery.Yeah. The, the imagery of it is fun. And I love the game between Stefan and Seth of.Track 4[28:02] No, we're looking for suggestions for, you know, a Midwestern family or anybody who's not you.I got it already. Okay. New York's hottest club is Bush.This club has everything. Ghosts. Good. Banjos. Carl Palladino.A stuck-up kitten who won't sign autographs.Furcles. Oh, do I want to know? Yes, you do. So furcles are? Fat urcles. Right.Of course they are. Sure. Sure they are.And after you've been with one of those guys, you'll ask yourself, did I do that?Track 4[28:47] Stefan. Just these like weird, random, yet very specific things that don't necessarilyfit together that are under the same roof at whatever club is.It was just, yeah, it was a nice blend of weird but specific.And, you know, I think it worked for Stefan.Yeah, I absolutely agree. One of my favorite jokes that he did is Stefan.The cast is a special guest. Have you heard of Blackula, the black Dracula? Yes.Well, they have a Jewish Dracula. Oh, what's his name? Sidney Applebaum.Track 4[29:33] Sidney Applebaum. Jewish. Jewish Dracula.Sidney. It's that misdirection, that funny misdirection. I could totally tellMulaney was sitting there like, I gotta do some sort of misdirection jokes.You think he's obviously going to do a play, like blackula isa play on black dracula he says jewish dracula there'sgonna be a play on that but it's just a jewish name andthat's totally mulaney's sense of humor and iappreciate that and also the game of i i uh idon't know if you and i've ever talked about breaking before in insketches first of all okay so how do you feel justin general like about breaking i think there's a time and place you know ifyou're just breaking right off the bat it's not not funny if you're doing itexcessively it's not funny it just depends and maybe like for example debbiedowner what worked for that sketch was that everyone was breaking constantly,but that was like a joint yeah this is funny and ridiculous and we're you knowthe fact they couldn't get through it was funny to us but if it's a single personwho's just breaking and it doesn't seem genuine.Track 4[30:51] They kind of ruined it. Yeah. Yeah. I think with Stefan, to me,it did seem genuine. As the audience, we started kind of knowing the game thatMulaney was playing with Bill Hader in there.So Mulaney would change the cue cards.He would change the punchlines to some of the jokes.And so when Bill, as Stefan, was reading the joke, that could have been thefirst time that he was reading that specific punchline.Even though they did it in dress i think between dress and air milani wouldhe would have punch lines like multiple versions of apunch line of a joke so he would just switch out punch linesbetween dress and air so that'd be the first time that we saw bill reading thatjoke so i think in breaking in that case yes it's funny there's like a funnygame it's part of this bit or whatever and it's something that with debbie downeri think the first time they did it was natural and that's That's why it was a classic.And then they tried to recreate it and it wasn't the same.And they found the magic with Stefan being able to recreate the game of breaking.And I don't know how they did it. They weren't able to recreate it.And Debbie Downer, Lisa from Temecula recently, I don't think they've been able to recreate that.But with Stefan, millennium hater managed to recreate breaking and make it seem authentic every time.Like, I wonder why that is, Victoria, what's the difference?Track 4[32:17] Well, it's probably because every single thing Stefan says is he's a firecracker.You don't know what he's going to say, and he doesn't know what he's going to say.And I think why that's getting a laugh is that those folks in studio are also seeing that.They're seeing the switch or whatever. But I think it works for them because.Track 4[32:39] The nature of Stefan is so out there and wild and weird that he's not a relatable character.He's not saying the run-of-the-mill things of, oh, my favorite breakfast is pancakes with bacon.He's saying some very weird things.And to say them in person, out loud, in front of an audience is kind of,you know, like, what am I saying? I do that too sometimes.His favorite breakfast would be like uppers and regret. Or something like that. I don't know.Yeah. And I mean, I've gotten my breaking under control. But I've broken on stage.Yeah. And it's just funny because I'm, and to me, what's making it funny iswe've been rehearsing this.And we've got the joke. And, you know, we've, whatever.But now we're sharing this with other people who are not comedians.Track 4[33:37] And we don't know how they're going to react to what we know is ridiculous andI'm going to say it and hope for the best.You know what I mean? Yeah. Part of the breaking is that we're now saying thisin front of people who we don't know.We don't know what they're going to say, how they're going to react to it essentially.Yeah. Yeah, that's a really neat perspective on breaking, I guess from a performer's side of it.I think, yeah, just as long as it doesn't feel forced or – Yes,I think that's what I – you're better at words today than I am,but that's what I meant of when you're solo or you start breaking off the bat or whatever it is.If it just doesn't seem genuine, if you're not actually laughing,you're just doing it to deflect or try to make this funnier or trying to be funny by breaking –.Track 4[34:27] I don't think it works. I think people will notice that. And if you're genuinelybreaking, people will laugh with you and not at you.Yeah, essentially, Mulaney's a magician when it comes to this because he wasable to make it seem authentic and part of the game and everything like that with Stefan.So Stefan, by the way, on the Saturday Night Network's character countdown,I believe he was number one. I was on that episode.Yeah, he was number one. Do you agree with Stefan? Like, could you see him beingnumber one in a character countdown?It's 49 years of history, I know. But what do you think of that?I'm trying to think of, well, okay, hold on. I was going to say,who else would be number one?But I really love some of Kristen Wiig's characters, too. But Stefan being numberone is a fair assessment.That kind of makes sense, right? Yeah. Because there are no diminishing returns, too.So I think that's another thing about good sketch writing. writingis if you keep writing the samefor the same character and how are the returnson it with Stefan I don't think Victoria there was diminishing returnson Stefan it might have gotten better honestly so that as a sketch writer andsomebody who appreciates sketch like how that that's such a sometimes a rarething not to see diminishing returns for a recurring character no that's completelyaccurate it's a fair assessment I was like unless you're doing.Track 4[35:52] A specific show about those same characters butyeah no it's i thinkthat's one thing that stefan got the sameamount of laughs if not even more laughs every time he heshowed up yeah and that's just great writing andgreat performance by bill of course bill hater yep amazing performerbut that's just like the team like millennia bill just such a wonderful teamuh so stefan on yeah we love victoria has a step on sticker on her notebookso we we all love step on uh something that that i've always loved very relatablething of forgetting people's names,uh so it's presented in a fun way by millennia so millennia's behind the what'sthat name sketches so victoria these are these get me every time i think hedid three of them But all three were just fantastic.You know, like a relatable premise. I love these. What did you think of what's that name?Track 4[36:50] It's interesting. So I have a very millennial slash Gen Z take on this.So there are people that will follow me and I follow them back on Instagram.And we have our names on Instagram.But I won't know their real name, but I know their Instagram name. Oh, no.And, for example, this literally happened last night where there's this personwho's – I've met them in person, and we follow each other on Instagram,but I forgot their real name. Is it me?Did you forget my name? Tim.Track

The excellent new documentary, HORROR NOIRE: A HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR, is a love letter to the rich, powerful history of Black American artists in horror cinema. The story is told by the artists who made the movies, and they give their unflinching perspectives on the past, present, and future of black horror. Join me as I speak with Executive Producers Dr. Robin Means Coleman and Tananarive Due about their documentary, Black horror, and their "First Kisses" with horror! Dr. Coleman is currently the Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity, and a Professor in the Department of Communication at Texas A&M University. She has also written many books about media and the cultural politics of Blackness, including the book that is the source material for this documentary. Tananarive Due is a filmmaker, author of 12 novels and educator steeped in black horror and Afrofuturism.

Lee and Daniel tackle a film they don't think was made for white boys like themselves. This time out it's "Ganja & Hess" (1973), directed by Bill Gunn. Is this Black vampire film just a "Blackula" rip-off or is it so much more? Why was it not more of a box office success? How much Black donkey dick is in it? What do they think about using bathwater for something other than washing oneself? A listener comment is also covered. "Ganja & Hess" IMDB Featured Music: "Intro"; "Bongili Work Song #1"; and "You've Got To Learn To Let It Go (Studio Version) by Sam Waymon.

Nos hemos pasado.Vale, lo sabemos. Somos madafakas, y nos hemos pasado.Pero no queríais que lo dividiéramos, y habéis estado mucho tiempo esperando, así que aquí está: el podcast sobre vampiros. Nuestra magna obra, y no porque sea buena, sino porque es un TOCHACO. Aquí caben cuatro de nuestros podcasts normales…Y como comprendo lo tochaco que es, aquí os dejo un "resumen" de lo que podéis encontrar en él, para que os sea fácil llegar sólo a los cachos que os interesen (que no me entere yo, malditos...).I. INTRO y bla, bla, blaSaludos a los oyentes, comentarios y tres promos:Comando Alt SuprimirInvaders PodcastPodcast CaramelizadoII. 1ª PARTE: Génesis -vampiros en la antigüedad y otras culturasUn poco sobre los antepasados del vampirismo y leyendas de diversas culturas (Mesopotamia, Grecia antigua, Asia, América...).III. 2ª PARTE: Europa y la histeria del siglo XVIIIOtro poco sobre el origen del vampiro tal y como lo conocemos, los puntos débiles de los chupasangres y características en general. También algo sobre nombres y etimología, y las causas que llevaron a creer en el nosferatu. IV. 3ª PARTE: Vampiros en la literatura y el cineEl grueso del podcast, supongo.Comenzando en el Romanticismo y las novelas de terror gótico, hacemos un tour por muchas de las obras en las que el vampiro hace su aparición.Aquí incluyo un listado, y como en el podcast mencionamos que algunos poemas los pondríamos en el blog, los he añadido. Der Vampir (Heinrich August Ossenfelder)Mi querida y joven doncella se aferraInflexible, rápida y firmementeA las antiguas enseñanzasDe una madre siempre fiel,Así como, en las orillas del Tisza,Los oficiales húngarosCreen en la leyenda del vampiro inmortal.Pero mi Christine, perdéis el tiempo,Y rechazáis mi amor,Hasta que yo, vengativo,Brinde a la salud de un vampiroCon pálido Tokay (vino húngaro). Y mientras durmáis delicadamenteA vos vendré arrastrándome,Y la sangre de vuestra vida absorberé.Y así temblaréis,Pues yo estaré besándoos,Y vos estaréis cruzando las puertas de la MuerteCon miedo, en mis fríos brazos.Y al final os preguntaré:“Comparados con tal enseñanza¿Qué son los encantos de una madre?” La novia de Corinto (Goethe)A salir de mi tumba y errar soy forzada,A buscar el vínculo a Dios hace tiempo cortado,A amar al prometido que he perdidoHasta que la sangre vital de su corazón haya bebido.Thalaba el Destructor (Robert Southey) Christabel (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)El Giaour (Lord Byron)[fragmento]Pero primero, sobre la tierra, como vampiro enviado,tu cadáver de la tumba será arrancado;luego, lívido, vagarás por el que fuera tu hogar,y la sangre de todos los tuyos has de beber;allí, de tu hija, hermana y esposa,a medianoche, la fuente de la vida secarás;Aunque abomines del banquete, debes, forzosamente,nutrir tu lívido cadáver viviente. Tus víctimas, antes de expirar,en el demonio a su señor verán;maldiciéndote, maldiciéndose,tus flores marchitándose están en el tallo.Pero una que por tu crimen debe caer,la más joven, entre todas, la más amada,llamándote padre, te bendecirá:¡esta palabra envolverá en llamas tu corazón! Pero concluir debes tu trabajo y observaren sus mejillas el último color;de sus ojos el último destello,y su postrera y vidriosa mirada debes verhelarse sobre el azul sin vida. Con impías manos desharás luegolas trenzas de su dorado cabello,que fueron en vida bucles por ti acariciadosy con promesas de tierno amor despeinados;¡pero ahora tú lo arrebatas, monumento a tu agonía! Con tu propia y mejor sangre chorrearántus rechinantes dientes y macilentos labios.Luego, a tu lóbrega tumba caminarás;ve, y con demonios y espíritus delira,hasta que de horror estremecidos, huyande un espectro más abominable que ellos.The Vampyre (John William Polidori)The Skeleton Court, or The Vampire Mistress (Elizabeth Caroline Grey) Varney the Vampire (James Malcolm Rymer) Carmilla (Sheridan LeFanu) Drácula (Bram Stoker)Vampire of the CoastThe Vampire (Robert Vignola) Nosferatu, una sinfonía de horror (F.

Howdy hey there, friends and neighbors! You're reading the companion blog entry for Epi87 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. (Just 12 episodes left until we hit 100, which will mark the end of Season 1. What can I say? Long seasons. Kind of like the winters in Game of Thrones…) In addition to a barrelful of podcast clips this episode, I had a fascinating chat with Geoffrey Welchman. I announced last week that GW was folding up the tent on Inverse Delirium, his 4-year-old podcast, which he has done. So then I thought it might be insightful to find out what led him to that decision and it is – so we’ll hear that in a little bit in addition to the final message to his listeners that he posted this past week. We also have our Burst O’ Durst segment with comedian Will Durst, a classic Henderson’s Pants spot, the Tweetsack segment, the 10 Most Active Shows In The Stitcher Top 100 Comedy Podcast List and, of course, our obligatory nod, salute, or genuflect to the boys (Dean Haglund & Phil Leirness) over at the Chillpak Hollywood Hour podcast, who just said goodbye to their 7th year in podcasting and mentioned us along the way. I also contrast and compare the old and the new theme songs for the Hob The Troll podcast. The 10 Most Active Shows in Stitcher's Top 100 Comedy Podcasts List Here's where we look at the ten podcasts that have moved up or down the Stitcher Top 100 Comedy Podcast chart in the past week.

Monster PartyBack in Succotash Epi53 I interviewed my friend and comedian Matt Weinhold who had, at the time, been experimenting with a new podcast idea that he and buddies James Gonis, Shawn Sheridan, and Larry Strohe – all Hollywood writers – had done on video where they drank adult beverages and talked about one main subject: Monster movies. Well, now Monster Party is an ongoing thing and in the most recent episode, the boys and guest Dana Gould sunk their teeth into vampire movies. In this clip they ponder the origins of Blackula. NerdistLast week I reviewed the Nerdist with Chris Hardwick and Jonah Ray – Matt Myra wasn’t on this particular episode, where they interviewed director/actor/writer Jon Favreau, who has a new movie out that he both directed AND starred in called Chef. In this clip, they talk about spoilers and puzzle over the etiquette of how long you should wait before talking about a show. IllusionoidOne of my favorite podcasts continues to be Illusionoid, which is an improvised science fiction comedy podcast out of Toronto. I’ve interviewed the three guys – Paul Bates, Lee Smart, and Nug Nahrgang (the best name is podcasting) – before and met them when they were in San Francisco for the SF Improv Festival last year. Haven’t played ‘em for a while though, so here’s a clip from their recent LIVE episode from Comedy Bar in Toronto, along with their special guests Craig Anderson, Ashley Comeau, and Kyle Dooley of Bad Dog Theatre. Hob The TrollSome TV shows used to have very specific theme songs – think about things like the Addams Family – or an even better example in this case is Gilligan’s Island, where the theme song changed after the first season to include mentioned The Professor and MaryAnne instead of referencing them simply as “all the rest”. Hob The Troll is a show that is hosted by a character that pops up at Renaissance Faires around the country. He sings and does comedy and is easily the happiest, non-goat-eating troll around. In podcast form, Hob The Troll features guest characters, often played by actors and comedians, such as Mark Gagliarti’s King John. He recently upgraded his show’s opening theme song, both versions of which are so specific that I thought it would be fun to contrast and compare.  And then I play a short clip with Hob and Corey Eno Ruffin, the guy who did the new theme song for the show. Crunch Time ShowI got a note and a request from Wayne “Crunchie” Baglin, co-host of the Crunch Time Show (along with his wife The Scully), a podcast that looks at a myriad of geekiness, from games and movies to anything else that geeky nerdlings enjoy. They have a feature on the show called the "Random 5" where their showboard computer asks 5 random questions which you answer, then you get to ask one of your own. So Wayne asked if I’d play the Random 5 and here’s what happened… The Bonn & Obo ShowIt’s been a long time coming but Epi9 – NINE! – of the Bonn & Obo Show has finally dropped. It’s a pretty inventive show BUT, since Bonn and Obo seem to rarely – if ever – get along, it take awhile to get those shows out. This last one took a solid YEAR. Which is why Bonn moonlights on The Strange Times Show as well. In this clip, Obo has had enough disrespect from his mic mate, Bonn, and decides to file a complaint. Cashing In With TJ MillerHave you had a chance to catch Silicon Valley, the new Mike Judge comedy on HBO yet? Really funny, at least for those of us that live within spitting distance of the real Silicon Valley. And TJ Miller is one of the best parts of the show. He also can’t seem to showing up as a guest on the Cashing In podcast, which is probably why they’ve subtitled it With TJ Miller. Comedian Cash Levy hosts and TJ does what he does best, which is to wreak havoc. The Dork ForestJackie Kashian and her show The Dork Forest continues to root out the well-known and semi-well-known who are into sometime some obscure or even archaic stuff. This snippet comes from her Epi227 with guest Emily Gordon – co-host of the Indoor Kids with husband Kumail Nanjiani. Jackie and Emily chat about comedy and mental health. Center City ComedyA quintet of Philadelphia’s comedians - H. Foley, Kevin Ryan, Tom Cassidy, Reggie Conquest, and Andrew Schiavone – belly up to the mic and deliver up jokes, insults, and opinion about a variety of topics for Center City Comedy. The clip they sent in starts off about playing school basketball then sidetracks into a discussion about one of the guy’s long-lost classmates, a discussion which then disintegrates into unstoppable, contagious giggling. All right, it’s time to saw goodbye to Epi87. Until next time, don’t be afraid to shop at Amazon by using the oh-so-handy banner at the top of our SuccotashShow.com page.
