Ep. 22 – Anne Rice

Eric is incensed over allegations that the upcoming Starz show, DA VINCI’S DEMONS, is going to “straight wash” one of history’s most famous artists. Christopher explains why he isn’t afraid of North Korea. Fairly imbalanced newsman Breck Artery reports on government funding…or lack thereof. She’s baaack! World famous author Anne Rice returns to the dinner table. She has plenty to say, including about the studio development process roadblocking a screen adaption Christopher penned of one of her famous vampire novels. She riles things up with her answers to mountains of questions posted by listeners on the show’s Facebook page. Will the Talamasca appear in another novel? Will there ever be a TV series based on her Mayfair Witch novels? Anne Rice responds to as many listener questions as she can before a ridiculous technical malfunction threatens to throw the show off the rails. Eric, Christopher, and Anne bravely recovery from an alleged cyber-attack by circumcised Honey Boo Boo fans (you’ll get the joke if you just listen.) In between Anne’s jaw-dropping answers, Twan, “Queen of the Stars,” reads the signs before they read you. Relationship expert JoNell Samms advocates for a healthy amount of distance between long term marriage partners. And critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand files a report from the White Party in Palm Springs that results in his near-death.
