The TV clicks on.

Everything else clicks off.

The screen glows like the last church in hell. A newscaster reads order into chaos while the world decomposes behind him. Ben watches like a man staring at his own grave. Barbara, in Olivia Graham’s haunting performance, doesn’t watch at all. She’s already gone.

Then the floor creaks. Harry Cooper climbs out of the basement like ego in human form. Jim Connor gives him every ounce of misplaced authority. Behind him, Helen (Wendy Shapero) and their daughter—pale, bitten, doomed.

Romero stops making a zombie movie and starts the autopsy. The dead don’t kill the living. The living do that themselves.

Ben wants the boards. Harry wants the basement. Tom (Charlie Bodin) just wants peace. Every word is gasoline. Every silence is a match.

When dawn comes, it’s not rescue. It’s rifles.

One shot.

One mistake.

One truth.

Romero didn’t make horror. He made history.

Turn off the lights. Lock the doors.

Remember who the real monsters were.

Charlie Bleeker’s life is unraveling—his writing career is stalled, his ex-wife is a cop who can't resist pulling him over, and his teenage son views him as a failure.

When his reckless childhood friend Marcus proposes a dubious investment opportunity in Colombia, Charlie reluctantly agrees, setting off a chain of events that spiral hilariously out of control.

From entanglements with a reformed cartel leader-turned-pastry chef to mishaps involving Pablo Escobar's pet rhino, Act One of Pablo’s Rhino introduces a midlife crisis comedy where absurdity reigns and every decision leads to deeper chaos.

Starring:

• Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
• Jim O'Heir as Charlie, the beleaguered writer seeking redemption
• Darin Toonder as Marcus, the thrill-seeking trust-fund playboy
• Jeff Bergman as Sam, a man embracing his true self amidst the madness
• Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar, the notorious crime lord with a surprising new passion
• Andrea Savo as Lucia, the sharp-witted detective entangled in the chaos
• Dustin Green and Holden Myers as DEA agents Knowles & Martinez, whose investigative efforts are as misguided as they are comical
• Keylor Leigh as Audrey, Charlie's no-nonsense ex-wife who keeps him grounded
• Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar, the formidable power behind the throne

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is an over-the-top, fast-talking, tequila-soaked thrill ride that blends midlife crises with international escapades, delivering a story as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

Pablo’s Rhino

Welcome to the table read that makes international crime, midlife crises, and questionable decision-making look like an art form. A washed-up accountant, a cartel queen, two bumbling DEA agents, and—because why not—Pablo Escobar’s pet rhino collide in a story so absurd, so wildly unpredictable, that even the characters can’t believe they’re in it.

Performed by an all-star cast who bring every unhinged line to life with reckless abandon:

🎙 Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
🎙 Jim O’Heir as Charlie, a brilliant writer turned reluctant action hero
🎙 Darin Toonder as Marcus, a trust-fund playboy with a taste for trouble
🎙 Jeff Bergman as Sam, a closeted man finally stepping into the spotlight (and possibly a fight cage)
🎙 Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar, a crime lord-turned-domesticated pastry chef
🎙 Andrea Savo as Lucia, a fierce detective with a soft spot for fools
🎙 Dustin Green & Holden Myers as DEA agents Knowles & Martinez, trying (and failing) to expose the truth
🎙 Keylor Leigh as Audrey, Charlie’s no-nonsense ex-wife who knows exactly how to keep him in line
🎙 Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar, the real power behind the throne

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is an over-the-top, fast-talking, bullet-dodging, tequila-soaked thrill ride that should probably come with a warning label.

Fast, smart, and just deranged enough to keep you coming back for more. Hit play before someone puts out a bounty on you too.

"Table Read Podcast - The Jew Who Saved Christmas Aftershow"

In this spirited aftershow, Team S&M—Selena Warren and Marissa Reed—sit down to unpack the hilarious and heartfelt journey behind The Jew Who Saved Christmas. From crafting the ultimate holiday hybrid story to juggling CGI elves and wild budget dreams, the duo delves into the creative highs and chaotic moments that brought their script to life. They share their unique writing process, the joy of table reads, and the challenges of making their voices heard in a shifting entertainment landscape. Equal parts insightful and irreverent, this episode is a festive deep dive into storytelling, creativity, and what it takes to make a holiday classic that’s anything but traditional.

The Jew Who Saved Christmas

When Bernie Gold, a sarcastic, weed-toting Spirit Airlines agent, accidentally doses Santa Claus with a magical edible, she finds herself on a chaotic, high-flying quest to save Christmas—or risk becoming history’s most hated Jew. Packed with razor-sharp wit, irreverent humor, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, The Jew Who Saved Christmas is a fast-paced holiday comedy that blends absurd mishaps with touching lessons about family, identity, and the power of embracing the unexpected. It’s the ultimate Christmas-Hanukkah hybrid that will leave you laughing, cringing, and maybe even tearing up.

Act 3: The Jew Who Saved Christmas

Strap in, folks—Act 3 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas takes the chaos of Acts 1 and 2, sprinkles it with some Christmas magic, and cranks it up to “Holy latke, is this really happening?” With Santa still higher than your cousin at a Phish concert, Bernie finds herself fully in charge of the sleigh, a bag of presents, and the fate of Christmas itself. No pressure, right?

From a showdown at TSA (where Bernie proves that saving Christmas sometimes means dodging tasers) to a rooftop brawl with reindeer in full meltdown mode, Bernie’s journey is a mix of slapstick comedy and heartfelt moments. There’s a rogue gingerbread elf screaming on the sleigh radio, Santa pulling Die Hard-level stunts, and Bernie dropping life advice on orphans like she’s a jaded holiday therapist. Did we mention she’s doing this all while rocking a pair of Uggs and the lingering regret of having roofied the big guy in red?

But it’s not all chaos (okay, it’s mostly chaos). Bernie starts to realize that maybe—just maybe—this whole fiasco is more than a holiday disaster. Maybe it’s her chance to prove she’s not the screw-up everyone thinks she is. Or maybe it’s just a chance to survive one more sleigh ride without hurling. Either way, it’s pure comedic gold.

The Cast Still Slaying It:
Jeff Bergman, Selyna Warren, Jim O’Heir, Marissa Read, John Milhiser, Kiel Kennedy, Tiffany Black, Carla Delaney, Ashley Bell, and David Jacks continue to bring their A-game, balancing over-the-top laughs with just the right amount of holiday heart.

✨Act 3 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas is what happens when Elf meets Superbad at a menorah-lighting party. It’s absurd, hilarious, a little sweet, and the perfect ending to a holiday tale that’s anything but traditional. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the feels, or just to see how Bernie gets out of this mess, you won’t be disappointed.🎄🔥

Act 2: The Jew Who Saved Christmas

So, remember how Bernie accidentally roofied Santa? Yeah, things have escalated. Turns out, when you drug the guy who single-handedly runs Christmas, the universe hands you the reins of a magical sleigh and screams, “Good luck, schmuck!” Act 2 is Bernie’s full-blown trial by (latke) fire as she fumbles her way through saving the holiday while Santa cycles between being zonked out and, uh, aggressively unhinged.

With a sleigh that feels like it’s held together by Hanukkah prayers and duct tape, Bernie somehow manages to deliver presents across the Midwest. We’re talking rooftops, chimneys, and more near-death experiences than a Spirit Airlines landing. Along the way, she’s got to wrangle her stoned passenger (Santa with candy cane nunchucks, anyone?), give some real talk to a tiny sad orphan about divorce (because therapy was booked), and dodge TSA agent Gimble, who’s basically The Terminator if he hated joy instead of Sarah Connor.

And let’s talk about the chaos: reindeer meltdowns. An almost crash landing. Bernie’s sudden realization that “wait, this sleigh doesn’t have seatbelts??” This act is a disaster in the BEST way—like if Seth Rogen got to rewrite The Polar Express. And just when Bernie starts thinking, “Hey, maybe I’m good at this?”—the universe is like, “LOL, nah.” Cue Santa going full Maccabee berserker mode.

And the cast? They’re killing it:

• Jeff Bergman, Selyna Warren, Jim O’Heir, Marissa Read, John Milhiser, Kiel Kennedy, Tiffany Black, Carla Delaney, Ashley Bell, and David Jacks make this ride more fun than watching your drunk uncle try to carve the turkey. Everyone’s bringing their A-game, delivering laughs sharper than Bernie’s wit and just enough heart to keep you invested in this glorious dumpster fire of a Christmas tale.

✨Act 2 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas is snarky, chaotic, and unexpectedly sweet. It’s everything you’d want in a holiday comedy—plus a little weed, some questionable decisions, and a lot of screaming. Who knew saving Christmas could be this messy—or this much fun?

Act 1: The Jew Who Saved Christmas

Welcome to the holiday chaos you never knew you needed. Meet Bernie Gold—Spirit Airlines check-in clerk, reluctant adult, and connoisseur of bad decisions. It’s Christmas Eve (or, as Bernie will remind you, the seventh night of Hanukkah), and while the rest of O’Hare Airport is brimming with holiday cheer, Bernie’s slouching her way through TSA complaints, confiscated wine bottles, and unsolicited career advice from her aggressively optimistic co-worker, Eve.

Bernie’s life is a snow globe of dysfunction, and someone just shook it—hard. Enter a mysterious piece of "Miracle Gelt" that takes this night from mildly chaotic to “holy crap, is that actually Santa Claus in my parents’ garage?” Let’s just say Santa’s not exactly in prime sleigh-piloting condition, and Bernie might’ve had something to do with it. What follows is a whirlwind of edible-fueled mishaps, family judgment, and a holiday disaster that’s teetering on the edge of redemption.

And the Cast?
This lineup will make you laugh so hard you’ll spill your eggnog:

• Jeff Bergman (@jeffbergmanofficial) – The voice legend who brings magic to every moment.
• Selyna Warren (@selynadoubleya) – Writer, star, and the kind of comedic genius that keeps you hooked.
• Jim O’Heir (@therealjimoheir) – The guy who stole your heart in Parks and Rec steals the show again.
• Marissa Read (@marissalread) – A double-duty powerhouse delivering laughs and heart.
• John Milhiser (@johnmilhiser) – Former SNL dynamo bringing the absurdity to life.
• Kiel Kennedy (@kielkennedy) – The gold standard of comedy chaos.
• Tiffany Black (@tiffanyblackness) – Pure holiday hilarity in human form.
• Carla Delaney (@voicesbycarla) – The kind of voice work that makes you laugh even when you don’t want to.
• Ashley Bell (@ashleymichaelbell) – A scene-stealer who brings charm and mischief in equal measure.
• David Jacks – An actor who makes every moment count.

✨This isn’t your cookie-cutter holiday story. It’s raw, messy, ridiculously funny, and filled with just the right amount of holiday heart.

Elevator Pitch:
In Act 1 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even tear up a little as Bernie Gold stumbles her way through a Hanukkah-Christmas mashup of biblical proportions. With sharp dialogue, hilariously flawed characters, and just enough holiday magic to keep you guessing, this is the start of a holiday tale that’s anything but traditional—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Act 3: The Endgame – “Kill or Be Killed”
By the final act, the arena is littered with bodies, and only a few contestants remain. Randall, Dana, and a handful of others must navigate the final rounds, where the weapons get deadlier and the fights more brutal. But the true horror of Versus isn’t just the violence—it’s the realization that there is no way out, no matter how many lives are taken. The system is rigged, and only those behind the tournament—The Promoter, The Executioner, and their faceless audience—stand to win.

In the climactic fight, Randall is forced to face his ex-girlfriend Samantha, whom he tried to help by getting her the very job that led her here. The emotional weight of their shared past crashes into the brutality of the arena, as the two fight not just for survival, but for closure. Randall knows only one of them can leave the platform alive, and he must confront the darkest parts of himself to do what’s necessary.

As the final bell tolls, the blood-drenched survivors stand victorious, but at what cost? The prize of freedom now feels like a hollow victory. Dana and Randall, broken and scarred, are left wondering if they’ve truly escaped—or if the tournament has only just begun.

The final moments reveal a chilling twist: Versus is just one of many such tournaments happening across the globe. The Promoter, his identity still shrouded in mystery, congratulates the unseen viewers and teases the next event, leaving the audience with a haunting question: how far will humanity go for entertainment?

Conclusion:
Versus is a gut-wrenching, fast-paced descent into the darkest corners of human nature, where survival is earned in blood, and death is just another roll of the dice. With each act more intense than the last, the show pushes the boundaries of morality, violence, and desperation in a world where the line between entertainment and horror has been obliterated. Prepare to be both horrified and captivated, as the Versus Tournament leaves a trail of bodies—and questions—behind.

About VS: "Sixteen people. Three rounds. One survivor. Welcome to the Versus Tournament, where everyday people must fight to the death—live-streamed for the darkest corners of the web. A brutal, high-stakes competition where only one escapes with their life... if they can survive the blood-soaked horrors within."

Inspired by the dark and twisted imaginations of Scott Sigler, Versus is a full-cast performance podcast where Saw meets Gladiator in a terrifying, action-packed three-part saga. With Academy worthy sound design and a cinematic score that will leave you on edge, every moment is crafted to plunge listeners into the terrifying brutality of the tournament.

Act 2: The Grind – “Every Strike, Every Cut”
The violence intensifies in Act 2, as alliances form and fall apart under the constant threat of death. Dana and Randall, once friends in the outside world, find themselves trapped in separate cages, trying to stay alive while watching others be cut down around them. The Promoter keeps the audience of faceless billionaires entertained with twisted commentary, while the Executioner steps in when a contestant refuses to play by the rules.

Dana’s first match pits her against The Bum, a hulking figure with nothing to lose. But Dana, resourceful and determined, proves that survival requires more than brute strength—it demands cunning, and the will to do what’s necessary, no matter how horrific. She survives, barely, but the trauma of killing leaves a stain that no amount of blood can wash away.

Meanwhile, Randall’s skills as a programmer are no longer an asset; they make him a target. As each fight passes, he becomes more entangled in the conspiracy behind Versus, uncovering clues that suggest the tournament isn’t just a sick game—it’s a lucrative, global operation, and those pulling the strings are untouchable.

The middle act delves into the psyche of the captives as they’re forced to confront their worst selves. Friendships turn to betrayals, and desperation pushes even the most moral characters to do the unthinkable. When the Bodybuilder and the Gangsta square off in a bone-crushing battle, it becomes clear: no one can be trusted. No one is safe.

Barbara made it to the house. Barely.

Ben's about to turn it into a war zone.

Ben spins suddenly inside the kitchen door and the movie stops being polite. This is where Romero strips the fantasy out of survival and leaves you with splinters, sweat, and the sound of a man trying to think faster than death moves.

Zeke Alton plays Ben like a man who's already lost but refuses to lie down. He hammers, he plans, he moves. Barbara, still shattered in Olivia Graham's haunting performance, watches him build their coffin and calls it hope. The boards go up. The windows disappear. The house becomes a box.

Then Ben does the unthinkable - he lights the dead on fire.

A corpse burns in the yard like a funeral no one asked for. The flames push back the night, and for thirty seconds, it feels like winning. But fire doesn't last, and the dead don't quit. They just wait.

The radio crackles to life: "Stay inside. Stay calm."

Ben laughs without sound. Calm died an hour ago.

Romero doesn't give you relief. He gives you wood, nails, and the slow realization that every choice Ben makes is the wrong choice and the only choice. Barbara floats through the room like a ghost practicing for the real thing. The house groans. The dead press closer. And somewhere in the static, the world pretends it still has answers.

By the time Ben mutters, "All right, this is your decisions," and they move toward the glow of the television, the farmhouse has stopped being shelter. It's a tomb with a TV set, and the truth is about to crawl out of the screen.

Romero doesn't write escape.

He writes what happens when the walls hold but the people don't.

The dead are patient.

The living are coming apart.

VS, Act 1: Versus opens the door to a nightmare none of our characters saw coming. Programmer Randall Parker’s life starts spiraling when he takes over a job for his friend Dana, leading him deep into the enigmatic Versus Incorporated. What begins as a simple day at work turns into a nightmare of violence, captivity, and betrayal, as Randall and fifteen others wake up caged and collared in a blood-soaked arena. Their captors? Unseen, but ever-present—demanding only one thing: fight, or die.

The first episode sets the stage with a harrowing introduction to the brutal tournament, laying bare the horror that awaits as these ordinary people realize they’ve been thrust into a gladiatorial death match. The fight is real. The stakes? Life or death.

Welcome to "Table Read: VS"—a no-holds-barred thrill ride of pure mayhem that’s Saw meets Gladiator, but with a side of nerdy Silicon Valley and more twists than a lower intestine! This time, we’re serving up Versus, a script from Scott Sigler, the New York Times bestselling horror author who clearly woke up and chose violence—and I mean that in the most lovingly brutal way possible.

Picture this: 16 average Joes, kidnapped and thrown into a death tournament that’s so twisted, you’ll need a chiropractor. It’s not just fight or flight; it's fight or funeral, and it’s all streamed live on the dark web for a cool million per ticket. Baseball bats, lead pipes, and even chicken scissors (yeah, you read that right) are up for grabs as they hack and slash their way through more bloody betrayals than a Shakespearean tragedy. Add in a relentless billionaire puppet master, a cast of killers, and $58 million worth of shady deals. Oh, and did I mention the blood? Enough to fill a swimming pool. Twice.

We’ve got a script read that’ll knock your socks off faster than a taser shock to the neck. Your hosts? Some of Hollywood's finest, breathing life (and death) into this script like a roundhouse kick to the face. And just when you think you know what’s coming? Boom—another twist, sharper than those hedge shears they’re swinging.

Versus is not for the faint-hearted. If you're into "Will they survive, or will they end up in a body bag?" this is your jam. In this tournament, it’s not about who’s the strongest—it’s about who’s twisted enough to survive.

Ready for the carnage? Let’s roll.

Act 3 of "Run Rabbit Run" explodes onto the scene like a grenade in a fireworks factory. This final act cranks the mayhem up to 11, delivering a knockout punch of chaos, dark humor, and enough plot twists to give you whiplash.

We're talking a high-octane cocktail of car chases that'll make your heart race faster than a jackrabbit on espresso, shootouts that turn the screen into Swiss cheese, and dialogue so sharp it could cut diamonds. It's as if someone tossed "The Italian Job," "Snatch," and "Fargo" into a blender, hit puree, and served it with a garnish of absurdist humor.

Our anti-heroes Roland and Monte find themselves in deeper shit than a septic tank worker on overtime. The stakes are higher than Snoop Dogg at a Cheech and Chong convention, and the tension's so thick you could spread it on toast.

This ain't your average wrap-up, folks. "Run Rabbit Run" Act 3 is a wild ride that'll leave you breathless, mind-blown, and questioning your life choices - in the best possible way. It's a finale that doesn't just stick the landing; it does a triple backflip and sticks it while the world explodes around it. Buckle up, buttercup - this rabbit hole goes deep, and you're in for one hell of a trip.

Act 2 of 'Run Rabbit Run' cranks the intensity to 11, serving up a cinematic cocktail that's one part adrenaline rush, two parts dark comedy, with a twist of pulp fiction. Our anti-heroes Roland and Monte find themselves caught in a whirlwind of chaos that would make even the most hardened criminals say 'What the f***?'

This act delivers more twists than a pretzel factory on steroids. We've got high-speed chases that'll make your heart race faster than a coked-up hamster, dialogue sharper than a samurai sword, and enough double-crosses to make you dizzy. It's like someone tossed 'Pulp Fiction', 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', and 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' into a blender and hit puree.

The characters are so vividly drawn, you can practically smell their desperation and hear the gears grinding in their heads as they try to outmaneuver each other. And just when you think you've got it figured out, BAM! – the script hits you with another curveball that'll leave you reeling.

Buckle up. This ain't your grandma's crime caper – unless your grandma is a badass with a penchant for mayhem and a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush. 'Run Rabbit Run' Act 2 is a wild ride that'll leave you breathless, mindf***ed, and hungry for more."

"Run Rabbit Run" bursts onto the scene like an audio-cinematic shotgun blast to the senses. This TABLE READ of the first act delivers a whirlwind of snappy dialogue, colorful characters, and enough twists to give you whiplash. We're thrown headfirst into a world where luck is currency and everyone's trying to beat the house.

Our anti-hero Roland is a smooth-talking, lady-killing son of a gun who can't drive for shit but somehow always lands on his feet. His partner Monte? Picture a guy trying to go straight but can't shake the stink of his past. Then there's this whole mess with an urn, some psycho brothers, and enough double-crosses to make your head spin.

The script crackles with the kind of razor-sharp banter that'll make you wanna 'rewind' just to catch all the zingers. It's got that perfect mix of tension and laughs, like if Guy Ritchie and the Coen Brothers had a love child raised by Lady Luck herself.

Buckle up. This ain't your grandma's crime caper. It's a wild ride that'll leave you begging for Act Two faster than you can say "Run Rabbit Run."

Hold onto your seats, movie maniacs! "Run Rabbit Run" is about to hijack your eardrums and take you on a high-octane joyride through a world where luck is the ultimate currency and chaos is the only constant. This ain't your typical crime caper – it's a nitro-glycerin cocktail of wit, action, and heart that'll leave you dizzy, dazzled, and demanding more.

Picture this: a lucky bastard named Roland, whose charm could talk a fish out of water, paired with his partner Monte, a guy trying to go straight but can't shake off the intoxicating perfume of one last score. Throw them into a pressure cooker of psychotic siblings, femme fatales with hidden agendas, and enough explosions to make the Fourth of July jealous, and you've got a recipe for cinematic insanity.

The dialogue crackles like a live wire, spitting one-liners that'll stick in your brain like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth. And the action? Sweet mother of mayhem! We're talking car chases that'll have you gripping your armrests, shootouts that'll make you duck and cover, and plot twists sharper than a switchblade.

But don't let the adrenaline fool you – beneath the testosterone-fueled exterior beats a heart of gold. This is a story about loyalty, love, and the insane lengths we'll go to for the people who matter. It's got more layers than a world-class lasagna and twice the kick.

"Run Rabbit Run" is a grenade of entertainment with the pin pulled out, ready to blow your mind. It's irreverent, it's audacious, and it's got more style than a Fashion Week runway. Miss this, and you'll be kicking yourself harder than a kung-fu master with a stubbed toe.

So, buckle up, buttercup! This ain't just a table read – it's a full-throttle assault on your senses that'll leave you breathless, speechless, and absolutely begging for more. Get ready to run with the rabbits, or get left in the dust!

Alright, horror hounds! Tom Holland here, ready to dish out the spine-tingling details of Act 3 in our Fright Night 40th Anniversary Cast Reunion Table Read. Buckle up, because this is where it all comes to a head!

Picture this: We've got Charley and Peter Vincent, unlikely allies, sneaking into Jerry's lair as the clock ticks toward dawn. The tension's so thick you could cut it with a fang! Our heroes are searching for Amy, but Jerry's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

We're talking bat transformations, a basement showdown, and Amy caught between two worlds. Peter Vincent finally gets his mojo back, but is it enough to take down a centuries-old vampire? And let me tell you, the special effects team outdid themselves with Jerry's final moments - it's a pyrotechnic spectacle that'll have you shielding your ears!

But here's the kicker, folks - just when you think it's all wrapped up in a neat little bow, we've got a stinger that'll make you question everything. Is evil truly vanquished, or is it just waiting for another invitation?

This finale is my love letter to classic horror, with nods to the greats like Hammer Films and Universal Monsters, but with that unmistakable 80s flair. It's got heart, humor, and enough scares to keep you checking under the bed for weeks.

So grab your crucifixes, garlic, and headphones and settle in for a finale that'll remind you why Fright Night has stood the test of time. After all, everyone's entitled to one good scare, right?

Stay spooky, and remember - the night belongs to the undead!

They say legends never die. Turns out, neither do their zombies.

In this special Table Read Podcast event, featuring a foreword by New York Times bestselling horror author Scott Sigler, we crack open the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead script, the one George A. Romero actually wrote before the edits, the rewrites, the budget, and the chaos. This is Romero raw and unfiltered. Every word, every stage direction, every creeping dread exactly as it hit the page before it hit the lens.

You think you’ve seen Night of the Living Dead? You haven’t. You’ve seen the movie. This is the mind behind the movie. The blueprint that split horror wide open and rewired the genre forever.

ACT ONE: “They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara”

It starts quiet. Too quiet.

A car grinds up a lonely Pennsylvania hill into a cemetery where the dead are supposed to stay dead. Barbara and her brother Johnny, bickering, restless, too human for their own good, walk straight into the kind of dusk where nothing bad has happened yet.

Romero takes his time. He paints dread with daylight. Every cricket, every whisper of grass feels like a countdown. Johnny cracks the line that changed horror forever:

“They’re coming to get you, Barbara.”

And then they do.

The attack is ugly, real, and raw. No slick cuts or Hollywood screams. Just human panic meeting human decay. Barbara’s brother goes down, and the world tilts off its axis. She runs barefoot through the graveyard, through the dark, through the sound of her own heartbeat losing the race.

She stumbles into a farmhouse, the kind of place that used to mean safety in old movies, and finds only silence, blood, and memory. The phone’s dead. The air hums wrong. And in that silence, Romero builds the first true church of modern horror.

Then Ben arrives, played with fire by Zeke Alton, a man caught between survival and sanity. He’s no superhero. He’s sweat, breath, and motion. While Barbara, brought to life by Olivia Graham, unravels, Ben fights back, board by board, nail by nail, until the walls themselves start to shake.

By the end of Act One, the flames are rising, the dead are circling, and two strangers are clinging to the last illusion of safety. The world outside isn’t ending. It already ended.

Romero didn’t just write a horror story.

He wrote America’s bad dream, and we just woke it up.

Hey, there, horror hounds and fright fans. Tom Holland here, ready to take you on a journey back to where it all began - Act I of Fright Night 40TH Year Cast Reunion Table Read.

You’ve seen this before, but trust me, you haven't experienced it like this. With Mark Hamill stepping into Roddy McDowall's shoes as Peter Vincent, and the electric Rosario Dawson joining Chris Sarandon and our beloved original cast, we're breathing new life into this classic tale of suburban terror. And in this podcast - you're right there with me, in the room LIVE with Chris, Bill, Mark, Rosario and the whole Fright Night family. They delivered a performance so damn good, it was almost as frightening as the vampires themselves.

In Act I, we set the stage. We introduce you to Charley Brewster, your average American teenager with an above-average problem - his next-door neighbor might just be a bloodsucking fiend. It's a delicate balance, between the mundane and the monstrous. We start with the ordinary - high school, homework, hormone-driven makeout sessions - and slowly, insidiously, let the extraordinary creep in.

It plays on our deepest fears. Not just of vampires, but of not being believed, of being alone in the face of unspeakable evil. It's Stephen King's Loser's Club meets Rear Window, with a dash of hormonal teenage angst thrown in for good measure.

As you listen, pay attention to the little details - the way the tension builds, the way disbelief slowly gives way to dawning horror. Listen for the chemistry between our cast, both old and new. It's like lightning in a bottle, folks, and we've managed to capture it again after all these years, just for your ears; electrifying your mind with a masterful soundtrack designed just for you, just for this story!

We share laughter, stories, and outtakes - it's like your ear is pressed to the studio door, eavesdropping on icons reanimating an iconic story - my iconic story, at that. As Stephen King might say, we're not just telling a story, we're opening a vein and letting it bleed all over the microphone. So come on in, the bite's fine.

Buckle up, turn out the lights, grab your earbuds because when that sun goes down and Jerry Dandrige bares his fangs, you're in for one hell of a ride. Welcome back to Fright Night, for real!

In Dreamworld's gripping finale, our story reaches its conclusion with the epic battle between the Redeemers and The Sleeper's army, both vying for control of the all-powerful golden egg. As the conflict unfolds, the fate of Earth and Dreamworld hangs in the balance. Will both realms be restored? And if so, will Cassidy find his way back home to his family?

About DreamWorld

"Dreamworld" transports us to a place far beyond imagination, where the fanciful inhabitants of bedtime stories roam free behind magic barriers. But when grief-stricken Cassidy arrives via Father Time’s whims, he discovers this wonderland in peril. The villainous Sleeper has shaken Dreamworld from its slumber after the untimely death of Princess Marigold, imposing a cruel new order devoid of “happily ever after.”

Yet rebel Jack and his motley crew of fairy tale renegades still fight to restore their realm’s happily-ever-afters. These valiant “Redeemers” - Red Riding Hood’s feisty granddaughter Scarlett, lovesick ex-pirate Bluebeard, towering gentle giant Mastodon - join Cassidy on his time-twisting quest. Fantasy and reality collide as enemies become allies, innocence turns to experience, and make-believe becomes life or death.

Layering postmodern wit atop old world sublimity, “Dreamworld” casts ageless characters in a newly complex light. The big bad wolf howls with regret, Cinderella asserts her dignity under oppression, and the skin-deep hero discovers his commanding heart. By making fantasy painfully real, the creator renews its power to inspire hope.

Sword fights and sorcery abound on this spirited cinematic adventure, clearly crafted with epic spectacle in mind. Yet swashbuckling showmanship belies sensitivity. When forces of evil shatter to reveal frightened souls, when a sound heart guides a wayward giant home, “Dreamworld” transcends sensation to find timeless truth. We all must wake up and battle dragons, but castles await those brave enough to dream.

Part 2:

Cassidy and the Redeemers arrive at their hidden base, Camelot, where they introduce him to Mother, their wise and mysterious leader. Skeptical of Cassidy's claims, Mother puts him to the test using Pinocchio's lie-detecting abilities. Convinced of his sincerity, Mother reveals that they need the powerful Golden Egg to send Cassidy back in time to restore the original Dreamworld. Jack and Cassidy embark on a daring mission to steal the egg from the Sleeper's heavily guarded fortress, while Scarlet, Mastodon, and Wolf set out to find the legendary Shepherd, a blind guide who can lead them through the perilous Enchanted Forest to Baba Yaga, a witch capable of harnessing the egg's power. As the two groups face dangerous obstacles and encounter familiar fairy tale characters, the villainous Ice Princess, daughter of the Sleeper, discovers Camelot's location and launches a devastating attack, leaving the Redeemers' home in ruins and their future uncertain.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT A Table Read Podcast Event

Before Duane Jones rewrote cinema history. Before the farmhouse became ground zero for modern horror. Before "They're coming to get you, Barbara" entered the cultural lexicon forever.

There was the script George Romero actually wrote.

And holy shit, it's nothing like what you think you know.

Picture this: Ben wasn't Ben - he was "Truckdriver." Barbara wasn't traumatized - she was practically catatonic from page one. The basement wasn't a refuge - it was barely mentioned. And that ending that scarred you for life? Completely different.

This isn't just some lost draft gathering dust. This is the DNA of every zombie story that followed, in its purest, most unfiltered form.

Jack Daniel narrates this apocalyptic archaeological dig - the SAG-AFTRA powerhouse behind trailers for The Suicide Squad, Ford v Ferrari, and Jackass Forever.

With our killer cast: Zeke Alton as Ben (former Navy Test Pilot, "Eyes of Wakanda") Olivia Graham as Barbara ("Agent") Jim Connor as Harry Tinsdale (the legendary Larry Culpepper!) Wendy Shapero as Helen Cooper ("Robot Chicken") Rob Fitzgerald as Sheriff McClelland (the original "I Love You Man" Johnny) Charlie Bodin as Tom ("Halt and Catch Fire") Adam Pilver as TV Commentator ("Timeless") Natalia Castellanos as Zombies/Ghouls ("Bosch: Legacy") Josh Sterling as Zombies/Ghouls ("Tenants")

Seven strangers. One farmhouse. The birth of modern horror.

But not the way you remember it.

Part 1

Cassidy Cartwright is the last survivor of Earth after a tragic event merged our planet with another - Dreamworld, a realm of living fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Thrust into the New Dreamworld, Cassidy meets the mysterious Jack and his outlaw team of Redeemers in the hopes they’ll help him restore their two worlds back to normal and save his children. Despite their initial doubts, the Redeemers agree to bring Cassidy to Camelot, their secret headquarters, to meet their enigmatic leader, the rebel leader known only as “Mother.”

About DreamWorld

"Dreamworld" transports us to a place far beyond imagination, where the fanciful inhabitants of bedtime stories roam free behind magic barriers. But when grief-stricken Cassidy arrives via Father Time’s whims, he discovers this wonderland in peril. The villainous Sleeper has shaken Dreamworld from its slumber after the untimely death of Princess Marigold, imposing a cruel new order devoid of “happily ever after.”

Yet rebel Jack and his motley crew of fairy tale renegades still fight to restore their realm’s happily-ever-afters. These valiant “Redeemers” - Red Riding Hood’s feisty granddaughter Scarlett, lovesick ex-pirate Bluebeard, towering gentle giant Mastodon - join Cassidy on his time-twisting quest. Fantasy and reality collide as enemies become allies, innocence turns to experience, and make-believe becomes life or death.

Layering postmodern wit atop old world sublimity, “Dreamworld” casts ageless characters in a newly complex light. The big bad wolf howls with regret, Cinderella asserts her dignity under oppression, and the skin-deep hero discovers his commanding heart. By making fantasy painfully real, the creator renews its power to inspire hope.

Sword fights and sorcery abound on this spirited cinematic adventure, clearly crafted with epic spectacle in mind. Yet swashbuckling showmanship belies sensitivity. When forces of evil shatter to reveal frightened souls, when a sound heart guides a wayward giant home, “Dreamworld” transcends sensation to find timeless truth. We all must wake up and battle dragons, but castles await those brave enough to dream.

This is a magical tale of what happens when parallel fairy tale universes collide into one Realm. Expect the unexpected as familiar stories and characters converge, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. Join us on this journey into the multiverse of beloved bedtime classics. 

We open on an epic battle between forces of light and dark magic. Leading the charge is none other than Jack, hero of Jack and the Beanstalk, alongside other reimagined fairy tale icons like the werewolf Little Red Riding Hood and the giant Mastodon. Their mission? To restore balance and order to this chaotic realm by turning back time and undoing a tragedy that fused these worlds together. 

But the dark sorcerer known as the Sleeper and his daughter, the aptly named Ice Princess, will stop at nothing to prevent our heroes from succeeding and preserving their twisted empire. Aiding Jack's crusade is a stranger named Cassidy with knowledge of how things should be. However, even he is unsure of critical details needed to make things right.

With dazzling action sequences and unpredictable twists on age-old tales, this podcast transports listeners young and old to the magical multiverse through vivid performances by top voice talent. Who will emerge victorious in the battle for the fairy tale realms? The answer lies in a mysterious tome known only as…Dreamworld."

12 STEPS OF CHRISTMAS — a filthy Christmas comedy. When a rebellious kid is denied his dream Christmas present by his mom, he goes to his estranged alcoholic father (who lies about being sober) with an idea: adapt the 12-step program to teach me how to not be you.

Act 3 - Jake runs to the embodiment of Christmas perfection: Grandma. Ashley confronts Carl about spending time with their now-missing son as they combine to search for him. Climactic confrontations will see: Jake deciding between his idealized Grandma or his fucked-up normal life; P.O. Jordan deciding between judgment or redemption for Carl; and Carl deciding between saving himself or—if he’s finally able—putting his family first.

Pitch – When 13-year-old Jake’s fed-up mother tells him he won’t get the cell phone he absolutely NEEDS this Christmas, he goes to the only other person who ever pissed her off as much as he seems to: his estranged alcoholic father, Carl. Jake’s plea: adapt the 12 Step program to teach me how to not be you.

Will Jake find out that Carl’s sobriety is secretly a bunch of humbug?Can this fuck-up father teach this fuck-up son how to be less of a fuck-up—all in time for Christmas?

Join two of the least qualified people in the world as they stumble into lessons of empathy and personal responsibility—and believing in the motherfuckin’ spirit of Christmas.

Act 2 - Continuing... Jake’s “rehab” with an amended 12-step list, Carl drags his son to a Mexican A.A. meeting. Unexpected revelations lead to a reckoning and new goals for each: Carl drink-y no mas and Jake giving his mom Ashley “one nice day.”

When Jake’s next Step, “Believe in the motherfuckin’ Spirit of Christmas,” instead leads to the destruction of trust, reputation, and public property, Jake finds himself fighting with both parents—and on the run.

We see Carl’s life doesn’t represent the change Jake is probably hoping for. We meet Carl’s parole officer, Jordan, via voicemail as Carl navigates clear artifacts of an alcoholic life.

Jake and Carl begin their mission with Step 9—but Jake’s attempts to make amends leave him battered and bloodied. Will he decide to keep going? Can this fuck-up father teach this fuck-up son how to be less of a fuck-up—all in time for Christmas?

Henrietta has stopped speaking. At St. Rosalia Indian School in 1905, silence is the only weapon left to her. The nuns mistake it for surrender. They don’t see how compassion slips between the cracks: a blanket to a shivering girl, a crust of bread for a starving boy, a circle of children daring to call magic into being with their hands. When a glowing light answers Henrietta’s defiance, the children learn to believe again—though belief always comes with a cost.

Back in Oak Bluffs, Maya sees the same light. And now she wants answers. Who were Henrietta’s people? What words set her free? With Lupe’s help—and a genealogist who knows the Wampanoag roots of this island—Maya begins a search her father would never understand. Robert, meanwhile, is losing clients, losing patience, and perhaps, losing his grip. He finds Lupe at grief counseling, and their past lives brush against the present in ways neither expected.

At Moonstone Rescue, a golden retriever’s broken leg tests the line between sanctuary and science. At Jean’s art show, Maya enlists her friends in a ridiculous sabotage campaign to keep her dad away from the witch. And at the edge of the farm, Axel Grayson makes his move—sending his realtor with offers of money, sentiment, and thinly veiled threats.

Written by Dominique Mouton.

Starring Vanessa Richardson, Madison Griggs, Rainbow Dickerson, Zeke Alton, Sarah Elmaleh, Angel Harper, Amanda Christine, David Reeves Tordilla, Parker Johnson, Derek Mehn, Felisha Wong, and Sarah Phillips.

This is what happens when light returns to the silenced. When the words of your ancestor call across generations. When Oak Bluffs decides who belongs, and who will be cast out.

Executive Producers: Shaan Sharma, Mark Knell, Jack Levy

We sit down with writers producers, and the cast for a conversation about PV & Franny.

___

At a school where no one knows who's inside the football team's bulldog mascot costume, where a game of hide-and-seek has been going on for the better part of a week, where Dale Wilson, the world's nicest bully, desperately wishes kids would stop giving him their lunch money, two wayward fifteen-year-olds are about to start a band. 

PV & Franny is a stylized and occasionally surreal 30-minute single-cam comedy about young love, growing up weird, and making music. It follows PV, a confident, take-no-prisoners punk rocker in training, and Franny, a sensitive and taciturn singer-songwriter type, as they navigate falling in and out of love, artistic collaboration, and the perennial difficulty of tuning a B string. It's Sing Street meets The Other Two, with a healthy dose of cult classic The Adventures of Pete & Pete for good measure. 

Written by the talented Tommy Wallach, and narrated by Ty Burrell, Fred Armisen and other notable names, the two-part series tells the story of two young souls who cross paths in school. Franny is immediately impressed by PV's musical talents, but their connection takes an unexpected turn when PV seeks Franny's help to solve a personal dilemma. Tune in to discover the heartwarming dynamics of friendship, intimacy, and the complexities of young love.

In addition to Burrell and Armisen, the star-studded cast includes Liam Richardson, Kensington Tallman, Rahm Braslaw, O’neill Monahan, Samantha Morelos, Eileen Fogarty, and Ruben Ray each adding their unique flair to the narrative.

LANDLORD is a frightening nod to 1980’s body horror and a not-so-subtle metaphor about the dark side of property ownership.

Following a traumatic incident, Mika and David move into a charming bungalow home. But it’s not long before they realize that their obsessive new landlord, Johannes, isn't just a greedy opportunist but a bloodthirsty leech feeding on their very lives! Will they escape the gruesome parasite before their lease expires?
