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.

Episode 231: Crossing Animals with Tanis MacDonald
On this episode of Geek4, I am joined by poet and professor Tanis MacDonald. When I reached out to her about her interest in coming on the show and topics she might want to talk about, one suggestion immediately shot to the top of the list. Tanis LOVES movies in which animals attack people! Although she usually gravitates towards films where mammals attack people, like Grizzly (1976), the documentary Grizzly Man (2005), and Cocaine Bear; but she also delights in Jaws (1975) and Squirm (1976). Although we talk about some pretty cheesy film, our conversation reflects on the hubris of people, eco-criticism, and the commodification of nature. I ADORE talking to smart people about bad movies.
