Podcast appearances and mentions of Shannon Purser

“He is the hottest hoarder you've ever seen!” - Steve on Ryan Phillippe's character On this week's episode, the 2025 Listener Request Month comes to a close with a rowdy discussion about the ridiculously tame PG-13 horror movie, Wish Upon! Why on Earth did they care about avoiding an R rating with this fake Final Destination movie? What is with all the dumpster diving? Why couldn't this wish box talk or be accompanied by a ghost or something? And where is literally any faculty administrator with all the bullying going down at this school? PLUS: How can one be a slut for wontons?  Wish Upon stars Joey King, Ryan Phillippe, Ki Hong Lee, Mitchell Slaggert, Shannon Purser, Sydney Park, Elisabeth Röhm, Alice Lee, and Sherilyn Fenn as Mrs. Deluca; directed by John R. Leonetti. This week's episode is sponsored in part by Huel! New customers visit Huel.com SLASH WHM today and use our code WHM to get 15% off your first order plus a Free Gift!

Interview by Angela CroudaceTim Kasher, the visionary frontman of Omaha-based band Cursive, delved into the creative journey behind their tenth album, Devourer. "We're pretty stoked on it," Kasher remarked, reflecting on the extensive work that went into this release following a four-year hiatus since their last album in 2019.Kasher described the album as a significant departure from the band's previous two releases, Vitriola and Get Fixed, which he labelled as "more angsty" and "less melodic." He elaborated, "We took a moment during the pandemic to reassess our catalogue. I wanted Devourer to be a more eclectic record." This desire for variety is evident in the album, which captures the essence of Cursive's roots while pushing new boundaries.One of the standout tracks from the album, Bloodbath, has been brought to life through a unique music video featuring Shannon Purser from Stranger Things and Aurora Perrineau from Westworld. Kasher explained the collaborative nature of the project: "We didn't give the directors any parameters. We said, 'This is the budget, and we want to see your vision.'" This approach resulted in an imaginative interpretation that blends elements of a "female fight club" with the emotional depth typical of Cursive's work.Drawing on his influences, Kasher cited authors like Cormac McCarthy and Stephen King, whose dark themes resonate with the band's music. "Cormac McCarthy has this extremely realistic take on humanity," he shared. "I think Stephen King is influential for everyone in some way. He's like the Edgar Allan Poe of our generation."As the band gears up for their upcoming tour, Kasher expressed enthusiasm for performing live, especially with the added challenge of recreating complex arrangements from the album. "We have two drummers on Devourer, and we're attempting to bring that energy to the stage," he noted.Kasher's passion for music and connection with fans was palpable as he reflected on the live experience. "It's important to remember that for the audience, this may be the first time they're hearing these songs. We owe it to them to give our all," he emphasized. This dedication has earned Cursive a reputation for electrifying performances, with fans often remarking that each show feels unique.Finally, he touched on the legacy of the 2003 album, The Ugly Organ, acknowledging its profound impact on listeners. "We didn't expect anything from that record," he said, "The further out on a limb we went, the more people connected with it. It's a lesson in authenticity that I hope resonates with other artists."As Cursive embarks on this new chapter with Devourer, Kasher's reflections on the past and present underscore the band's commitment to exploring new musical landscapes while remaining true to their roots.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Once again we have jumped to a plotline that might have been entertaining back in Season 2 or 3 but now just reads as a desperate ploy to save Ethel. And still, this show can't get Ethel Muggs right, because she once again has to be the frumpy loner no one will ever love. Setting aside the fact that there's still only five episodes left of this forsaken show, Shannon Purser is a delight and a treasure and Riverdale has just sort of thrown her and this character under a bus at any convenient moment. So despite some small hints at what's to come, we wasted one more hour trying to justify Ethel as a trauma prop. Do better, Riverdale. We discuss “Chapter 132: Miss Teen Riverdale” this week on The Doghouse. You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Stranger Things features a number of powerful character arcs, but a personal favorite of the bunch is Nancy Wheeler's evolution from timid student finding her way in the high school social scene to a sheer force who's willing to throw herself into danger to fight for her loved ones. That epic transformation is exactly what we break down in this new edition of Collider Ladies Night with Nancy Wheeler herself, Natalia Dyer.In Season 1 of Stranger Things, Nancy is inspired to step up and face the Upside Down after Barb's (Shannon Purser) disappearance. It's a mighty powerful early point of change for the character, and it's something that the Duffer Brothers continued to build upon as Nancy's circle of loved ones grew and as the threat of the Upside Down intensified. Throughout much of Season 2, Nancy teams with Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) to expose Hawkins Lab, and then in Season 3, she applies that tenacity to overcoming intense disrespect from the staff of the Hawkins Post to see an investigation through that proves vital to battling the Mind Flayer.As we see in Stranger Things 4, Episode 9, “The Piggyback,” every single character proves vital to the plan to defeat Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), but Nancy in particular shows off an especially essential ability to assess the threat and figure out what's necessary to power through the mission, a quality that will undoubtedly be crucial to saving Hawkins in the show's final season.Hear all about Dyer's journey from discovering her passion for acting to becoming a Netflix powerhouse on this episode of Collider Ladies Night!

SPOILER ALERT! Our latest episode is entirely devoted to season 1 of this summer's hit Netflix series "Stranger Things." We talk about why the show has struck such a chord in the zeitgeist, whether it lives up to the hype, the pros and cons of catering to an audience that grew up in the ‘80s and how well the show developed certain characters. Notes: - YouTube mashup showing all of the show’s overt references to ’70s and ‘80s movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBjgFt6lVHM - IMDb page for Shannon Purser, who plays Barb: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7684864/?ref_=tt_cl_t30 - Season 2 teaser trailer and details: http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/stranger-things-renewed-for-second-season-w437259

The big talk of the Summer TV season (and one of our favorite shows) is the Netflix original drama Stranger Things, a show that transports us back to 1983. On this weeks show speak to breakout star Shannon Purser who plays fan favorite Barb on the show, and veteran prop master Lynda Reiss who has been able to capture the 1980’s to a tee. Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things is an eight part series starring Winona Ryder and Mathew Modine, but the story centers on a group of 12 year-olds and a supporting group of teenagers all played by an absolutely superb bunch of new actors. Shannon Purser plays Barbara Holland or Barb, the best friend of popular girl Nancy Wheeler, and she fantastically embodies the outspoken and intelligent character that we all identify with. Her performance has created what’s being called Barb-mania, with fans creating memes, fan art – even painting murals of her. Set in a small Indiana town, the show follows the disappearance of a young boy, uncovers a dark conspiracy and a scary monster along the way. The other star of the show is 1980’s American pop culture – everything from the opening credits, the music and the loving attention to details in the props plays homage to films of the era. Lynda Reiss is the prop master on the show and she has created a veritable time capsule of the 80’s with trapper keepers, BMX bikes and some wonderful fashion. Reiss shares with us how she approaches a period piece like this, her work on American Beauty and the elaborate prop work on True Detective, and much more.

An entire episode dedicated to the awesome Netflix Original series 'Stranger Things'.  Contains *mild* spoilers so if you haven't seen the entire series - maybe wait to listen to this podcast about the GREATEST TV SHOW TO HAPPEN SINCE TV WAS INVENTED!!
