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 307: Where Have you Benny? Talking Jack (Benny) with Zach (Eastman)
My guest for this episode is podcaster Zach Eastman from Yesteryear Ballyhoo Revue to talk about his long time fascination with Jack Benny. Sadly, that name might not much to some listeners, but Jack Benny was a pioneering comic voice in radio and television. Benny was so well known and loved by golden age celebrities that he was able to get guest stars on his show that NEVER did tv (like Gary Cooper or Humphrey Bogart). To speak nothing of his film career. His starring role in Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 black comedy, To Be or Not To Be, as a Nazi-fighting actor in occupied Warsaw has particular poignancy in today's political climate and should be screened often.
