On this episode of Geek4, I’m joined by Lauren Ashley. Lauren is an actor and social media presence, and a huge fan of lots of things! Lauren is an absolute delight. We discuss her love of Lucille Ball – from discovering I Love Lucy as a kid (on Nick at Nite) and her movies on AMC and Blockbuster to attending Lucille Ball conventions and collecting Lucy swag.
We also talk about Lauren’s own acting, which is how I first discovered her of Hollywood Graveyard in Arthur Dark’s two short films, The Tomb of Nosferatu and Graves from the Black Lagoon. They’re fantastic and I highly recommend watching them.

On this episode of Geek4, I'm joined by Julie S. Lalonde. Julie is an internationally recognized women's rights advocate, feminist killjoy, and pubic educator. In fact, Julie's probably the top public educators in Canada. Her work on consent, stalking, and bystander intervention have made her an in-demand speaker, not only in Canada, but around the world.
Her memoir, Resilience is Futile: The Life and Death and Life of Julie S. Lalonde was released right at the beginning of lockdown (Spring 2020) and is a funny, harrowing tale of her own experience with stalking.
When I reached out to her to ask if she'd be interested, I knew it was a long shot. (I never think anyone wants to come on my show). Julie is popular and highly sought after speaker... and she gets a lot of death threats (as we discuss a bit). But she wrote back almost immediately, "Are you free this Thursday?"
And we talk about Julie's "true love": classic Volkswagon cars. She owns two of them. They have names.
As a non-car person (I have often said, only slightly joking, for me cars are stereos with wheels), I was especially interested to talk to someone who loves something I just don't understand.
Her book, Resilience is Futile: The Life ad Death and Life of Julie S Lalonde, is available wherever fine books are sold. Order it from your local bookstore.
