Happy Holiday! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanza, Stellar Snowman Independence Day, Spooky Snow Halloween! Whatever it takes!

We have a wonderful show to send you off into the holidays and then we’ll see you again in the New Year with a couple surprises. Mehopes you like them.

Two great guests today, Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago is here. The Pixies have been one of my favorite bands since I first started seeing them when we were both starting out back in Boston. And I’m incredibly happy to have Joey on the show. They have a new album out called Beneath The Eeire. It’s great. I own it. You should too.

Also, Los Angeles historian Alison Martino is here. Alison was a producer on Hollywood Mysteries and Scandals and runs the Vintage Los Angeles Facebook and Instagram accounts. She grew up in Los Angeles. Her dad was the singer Al Martino who played Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather, so she has seen it all from a first hand perspective.

I have some great shows coming up in the new year, including a staged reading of Plan 9 at Sketchfest in San Francisco. Go to https://www.DanaGould.com/events for information and ticket links.

And now! It’s on.... to our filthy business!

Jack O’ Weenery

It is indeed Halloween, the most wonderful time of the year. And as always, it's the time that we bring you the episode of the podcast that we hope, we try, will stand head and shoulders above the rest. And THIS episode is no exception.

Joining us are Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. They're the writers of Ed Wood, as well as Man On The Moon, The People vs. Larry Flynt, The People vs. OJ Simpson, Auto Focus and the soon-to-be streaming and currently in theaters Eddie Murphy tour de force, Dolemite Is My Name.

Dr. Herbert West himself, Re-Animator’s Jeffrey Combs is with us as well. He’ll be talking about Re-Animator, his time in the Star Trek universe as well as his amazing one-man show about Edgar Allen Poe.

And the host of Monster Party, Matt Weinhold is onboard. He’ll be joined by writer / director and friend of the podcast Mike Mendez to discuss the year in horror movies and, as usual, so much much more.

If you live in the L.A. area, October 29th at Largo, it’s our annual Halloween tradition, Plan 9 From Outer Space LIVE. Starring Dana, Bobcat Goldthwait, Janet Varney, Matt Braunger, Tom Kenney, Jonah Ray, Laraine Newman, Paul F. Tompkins, Steven Webber, G. Charles Wright, Ron Lynch, David Koechner and Jackie Harris-Greenberg with live music by the inimitable Eban Schletter. It's one night only. October 29th in Los Angeles.

What’s that, you say?

Several years ago Dana put together three CDs of vintagey weird old Halloween music. Stuff, like Black Cat by Tommy Collins or Skeleton In The Closet by Louis Armstrong. Well, this month, our Patreon followers have access to all of those files and more! It’s five bucks a month. You get a little something extra. Five bucks. Be a part of it.

But in the meantime...

The kids are at the door. Let’s get at it.

Who Is Comic Book Girl 19?

My guest, well, she gained online notoriety as Comic Book Girl 19, and is now rebranding herself simply as Danika. But she is one of those people who is smart, funny and interesting. And her job is being online. We met her at a Halloween party. Uh, my girlfriend and I were dressed as Taylor and Nova from planet of the apes. And we're sitting there judging everyone. And this kindly old nun approached us, and mentioned a mutual friend. And after talking to her for only a few minutes, we invited her on the podcast. The artist formerly known as Comic Book Girl 19, for your listening pleasure.

For me. I'll be on tour with Bobcat Goldthwait this month. February 6th we will be in Atlanta once again, trying to show that almost killed us this time.

So please come on out. For details on these and other exciting opportunities, go to DanaGould.com/events.
