Playing Dead

Deadites are parasitic demons who possess the recently deceased. Kelly Maxwell is a deadite killing machine who was very nearly a deadite herself. Dana DeLorenzo a/k/a Kelly Maxwell stops by tell us not only what it was like to be possessed by Lucy Lawless in “Ash vs. Evil Dead” but also how she transformed herself into one of the all-time best Amy Winehouse impressionists. Later, Steve Agee joins Michael and Dana when he stops by the studio to talk about his character Gef’s (yes, that’s Gef with a “G”) piercing death in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” And even though Sylvester Stallone gets all the credit, how Steve brought to life King Shark in “The Suicide Squad.”

David Dastmalchian has died in more stories than he’s survived. From being skewered in the back of the head to being poisoned by toxic gas, David has experienced it all. But it’s his role as Abner Krill, the soft-spoken, mother hating, polka-dot throwing member of Task Force X who gets mourned for the most. Michael and David talk all things “Suicide Squad” and how life can imitate art.

This episode comes with a trigger warning as there are discussions about substance abuse, depression, suicide, and suicidal ideation that may be disturbing to some listeners.

'Aliens' is considered by many to be one of the best sequels ever made. For Jeanette Goldstein and Carrie Henn, it was the first time either of them had stepped foot on a film set. From being mentored by Bill Paxton, to being tethered to a smart gun made for men, Jeannette (Private Vasquez) reveals what it was like to start her film career in one of the most successful movies of the 1980’s. And from preparing for her first ever audition by buying an autograph book, to running drills with her co-stars whilst clutching her Cabbage Patch Kid, Carrie Henn (Newt) talks with Michael about how the then 8-year-old actor bonded with her famous co-star, Sigourney Weaver.
