My Son, the Chimp. S1:E28

 Dear Fiends,

Winter has decided to settle in like a lion, and these past few days have been spent fighting the ever increasing snow building up in front of my door. What a silly thing, here I am trying my damnedest to get out when usually I want nothing except to stay in. But I guess people still need to eat, and my kids weren't buying that fresh snow is free ice cream. It's pretty close though! 

After a short week long break, JohnPaul and I are back at it, usurping all your time to talk about why he's bad a primates, the best directors to shoot NYC, comic books, Trash Packs, how hot Bob Hoskins is, and much more. We do sprinkle some Addams in there just to keep you hooked, because we know that for you, just like for us, John Astin's Gomez is a drug we never want to be sober from. 

The episode we cover this week is super cute, super campy, and as always a little kooky. Hey, did you know Ken Weatherwax's (Puglsey) Uncle was a professional animal trainer for showbiz? Cool, right!

I love the word "showbiz." That's an old timey word now. I guess the new term is "content creation." But I'll never say we're content creators. We try to bring you more than content. We bring you our joy, nonsense, and vulnerabilities in hopes that you can find in us some laughs and comfort just as we have in talking about Addams Family. If anyone asks what I like to do in my free time besides grow spongey animals, watch Welcome Back, Kotter, and eat mochi, I'll say I dabble in Show Biz. The Free TV kind. Just think of us as being on your local public access channel. You can check for school winter closings as we figure out just whose hairy arm that is when Thing reaches far out of the box.

Stay healthy, stay safe, and hold on to that sense of humor, fiends. The winter is long, but we'll get through it together.

Love you all,

K.

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 ...
