Halloween Party! RSVP!

 Dear Fiends,

October is upon us. The month that celebrates our kind is here, and sick joy is ready for the taking. Here at You Rang, we understand that Halloween season is sacred. This is the big show. The Danse Macabre. So we're taking a month long break from following the 1964 original series and tackling one of the heaviest hitters in the Addams universe, as well as a kooky experiment in nostalgia. 

Yes, we're finally covering THE ADDAMS FAMILY (1991) for the second and third week of October, then HALLOWEEN WITH THE NEW ADDAMS (1977) for the fourth and fifth (there are 5 Wednesdays in October this year!). As you know, we tend to ramble on even when we cover 24 minute episodes, so we thought it best to break up the feature length analysis over 2 episodes each. Hopefully this helps us stay under the 1 hour mark which we like to shoot (him in the back) for. 

We can't wait to celebrate this very disturbing, kooky, kinky, and sexy season of thrills and chills with you. Tell your family! Tell your friends! And, if you think we suck at this, tell your enemies. We're pretty accepting here.

See you at the Addams mansion, and BYOMP... Bring your own Mamushka pants!

Stay spooky,

Fivel Fox & JohnPaul

Wake the Dead. In honor of Chris Liu.

 Dear Fiends, This entry isn't for the faint of heart. It's going to be sad, a little bit frightening, and maybe anxiety inducing for some. There is also the content warning of death of a loved one. So please proceed thoughtfully. I am trying to process the heartbreaking news of a friend's passing. I know this is only the beginning of that process. It still feels unreal. I worry about that too. Chris was a friend that I met online, and it just makes it even more complicated in the grief of loss. I don't have the privilege of his physical presence to miss, so the weight of his loss is solely in my heart and mind. He will always exist to me as a spirit that I loved and felt love from. And it got me thinking about how life exists through spirit in the Addams Family. This brought me some brief comfort. Let me explain. In the Addams universe, those we love, never truly leave us. In the kookiest ways, sometimes they end up as a leg sticking out of a shark in the living room, ...

Going Color! 🤯

 Dear Fiends, We're going electric and full color!  Eventually. Here's the deal. JohnPaul and I have been recording with video for awhile to get comfortable on camera, and last week we recorded with the intention to post video for the first time. The session went really well, but unfortunately it may be next week or after until I get a full handle of editing video successfully. I know I could just throw what we have on YouTube and call it a day, but that's not how I work. I care about what I create and want it to be my best try for that time. So I hope you continue to stick around, and be patient until our big reveal in the next couple weeks. The reveal is that we aren't special, LOL, but at least you can see my wild hand gesturing like JohnPaul mentions.  The new podcast episode will still be up late tonight or tomorrow during the day. It took me awhile to figure out that I just wasn't going to be ready with video editing by today. I hope you all have the most gloo...

  Hello my dearest fiends. I wanted to sit by the hearth with you and have a nice heart to heart. (rips out my heart TEMPLE OF DOOM style) Here you go. Now you! I'm kidding! Though I do love some good theatrics. Theatrics is part of why I love the original Addams Family TV series so much. There is so much passion and vibrancy radiating through that family. Whether it's Gomez throwing himself head first (literally with the Zen Yogi) into his interests, or Wednesday punching a misogynist, rotten, little boy, this family follows through with zest on what they love and believe in. And what they love and believe in is something this world needs a lot more of right now.  The Addams family are the best of us. Not because they are kooky, and macabre, that's just a plus! They are the best of us because they meet everyone with an open mind, and heart full of love. They think the things that makes us unique and different are beautiful and a chance to learn from one another. They face ...
