  • Allie's new Simpsons show is Everything's Coming Up Podcast
  • The George Clooney book that Dana busts Jeremy's balls over (and which is most certainly real, Jeremy promises) is not yet available for pre-order, but it should be out this year!

The incomparable Ray Wise is a fan of monsters in the movies, and has played his own share of them...including Leland Palmer. Last August, Fire Talk With Me producer (and Electric Shadow host) Moisés got a few precious minutes with Ray to talk about Twin Peaks, Swamp Thing, and the roles he still hungers to play.

As a bonus, hear Ray record the show intro you now know so well...and in a single take.

Scheduling our very special guest for the podcast covering the final episode of the TV show has proven tricky. We were going to hold this interview for later, but here it is to tide you over until we have a new, "proper" episode.

WARNING: Contains spoilers for "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", including the name of the shooter.

A couple of recording breaks can be heard in the recording due to noise interrupting our intrepid trio, but thankfully, zero content was lost.

Show Notes and Links

  • Josh Weinstein (twitter) is currently working on Strange Hill High (seasons 1 & 2 now on Netflix in the States) and Gravity Falls, both of which are great.
  • Yes, Gravity Falls is made to be kid-friendly, but the writing and world they've built is better than 90% of TV made for adults. Full episodes are posted on the official site.
  • Who Shot Mr. Burns? was comprised of the season 6 finale episode of The Simpsons and the season 7 premiere.
  • SCTV got everything right down to the smallest details. At used prices, the DVDs are a steal, and essential in the library of anyone who really loves and appreciates comedy writing.

In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 13 (14 including The Pilot, or S02E06).

Program Note:

The beginning of the second segment of the show (after the introduction of Russ) sounds abrupt: as if the result of an error in editing. It is abrupt, but not the result of anything other than tech issues outside our control eating a few minutes of audio. Those minutes are sadly lost, never to be heard again. Allison and Jeremy picked the discussion up in a way that still makes sense, but that sounds odd based on previous episodes.

In retropsect, this whole show should have been recorded on good old reel-to-reel tape.

Show Notes and Links

  • Comedy Bang! Bang! is a TV show. It's also a podcast that "Womp[s] it up" at least once a year.
  • Earwolf is a collection of great podcasts.
  • Scott also cofounded Midroll, which sells their ads as well as many other shows, including Marc Maron's WTF and Doug Benson's Doug Loves Movies.
  • The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (written by Jennifer Lynch) came out after the end of season 1 and before season 2 premiered. You don't have to have read it to get into season 2, but it certainly might enrich your experience. Scott thinks it's best to hold off until after you're done watching the show.

James Urbaniak has played a host of memorable characters including Dr. Venture, Robert Crumb, Dick Cavett...and even Dale Cooper. He joins Jeremy and Allison to discuss the deep weirdness of a show about "simple pleasures and small towns", as well as Twin Peaks' first season finale, Episode 7 (8 including The Pilot). No spoilers, but: it's a cliffhanger deluxe.

We hope this episode really lights your F-I-R-E.

Show Notes and Links

  • James Urbaniak is on Twitter.
  • Subscribe to his podcast Getting On with James Urbaniak over on Feral Audio. It's magnificent.
  • If not already aware of the amazing work of Laika (Coraline, ParaNorman), The Boxtrolls (which features James among its cast) might just be a great introduction. Watch the trailer and go see it in U.S. theaters starting in September 2014.
  • Having not seen the final installment, rest assured that the Henry Fool Trilogy is the greatest trilogy to be told over 20 years spread across three decades in cinematic history (1997-2006-2014). Its completion alone is a reason not to hate Kickstarter.
  • James Urbaniak can be seen in all three movies: Henry Fool, Fay Grim, and the coming-soon Ned Rifle, which just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
  • Hal Hartley posted a teaser for Ned Rifle in July.
  • On the same thread: if not already intimately familiar with the filmography of Hal Hartley, I'm not sure what you're doing with your life.
  • If not also obsessed with Review, in which James plays the show-within-the-show's producer...you have time to catch up before the season 2 premiere.
  • Get caught up on America's hardest-hitting, three-episode web series, Topic A with James Urbaniak: "Jumping the Shark", "Going Viral", and "Millenials"
  • Below, a bonus, spoiler-free still frame of Coop and a lady.

Show Notes and Links

  • Amber Benson is on Twitter and Tumblr. Be nice and not creepy, for once in your life.
  • At the time of this recording, Amber's newest novel, The Witches of Echo Park, is available for pre-order. Get it from Amazon...or maybe try an actual store with books in it where humans go.
  • Amber has written five Calliope Reaper-Jones novels since 2009: Death's Daughter, Cat's Claw, Serpent's Storm, How to be Death, and The Golden Age of Death. See above. Buy them and read them.
  • Amber co-directed Drones (2010). There are a bunch of talented people in it, Thrilling Adventure Hour "Bens" Acker and Blacker wrote it, and it's a workplace comedy mixed with Close Encounters of the Third Kind. You have time. You saw a Transformers movie at some point, right? Ok then.
