Episode 57: We Go to ‘Night School’ with Alison Becker and Chat with Horror and Comedy Legend Lin Shaye

Episode 57

5th October 2018

There is TOO much going on in this episode. First off, our guest is the wonderful and hilarious Alison Becker. She’s here to discuss the new Kevin Hart/ Tiffany Haddish vehicle, Night School. On this episode we learn very quickly that Alison has a deep sexual attraction to Eddie Redmayne. Ricky reveals the launch of his movie club. April talks about poetry, again. And Alonso is excited that he gets to use his oven. But that’s not all because the crew also gets a call from film legend actress Lin Shaye. She is the ambassador to this year’s Screamfest. But she also discusses her career, work ethic, and newest projects. You can also hear Lin on a past episode of Switchblade Sisters. She’s a hoot. And last but not least, we have staff picks. Way too much for one episode.
