INTERVIEW with LAUREN-MARIE TAYLOR / Friday the 13th part 2 / Neighbors / Belushi / Aykroyd

This is the Second out of 3 in our Halloween Series.

Jeremy and I interview actress LAUREN-MARIE TAYLOR!

Lauren grew up in the Bronx and started her career in commercials and stage at a very young age.  In 1981 she was cast as Vickie in Friday the 13th Part 2 and the same year as Elaine in Neighbors with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.  She then went onto the soap opera LOVING and now is a school teacher.  

We had such a fun time talking to Lauren (she's so upbeat and funny!).  We asked her about Friday the 13th part II, Neighbors (working with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) and also what some of her favorite Horror Movies are and even talked about her musical tastes (of course).  She makes frequent appearances at autograph shows (so be sure to check her Facebook or Instagram pages for updates).

INTERVIEW with THUMPASAURUS singer LUCAS TAMAREN - STRUTTIN good time

Here's my interview with LUCAS TAMAREN from the great LA band THUMPASAURUS!

Thumpasaurus is a funk, jazz, experimental, new wave... well... just give them a listen.. they perform fun, energic and hilarious live shows ... like nothing else.  

With their song "STRUTTIN'" they are about to take over the world!  The song is so popular on TikTok that Michael Buble has been seen 'struttin' to it... the video for 'struttin' has over 1 million views on YouTube and the song is featured in a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Phone (cats are up to no good).. this commercial has been playing all over!

Lucas and I have a great conversation about the beginnings of Thumpasaurus, his vision on what he wants to do (and what he has done so far), the video for Struttin' (of course) and much more!

I only wish great things for Lucas and Thumpasaurus .. I know that we'll be seeing more of Thumpasaurus real soon!

INTERVIEW with Brian J Kramp (Cheap Trick / This Band Has No Past) Music Author

Today I interview author Brian J Kramp who has just released his first book called THIS BAND HAS NO PAST - HOW CHEAP TRICK BECAME CHEAP TRICK.

This book covers the time leading up to the forming of the band Cheap Trick and goes up to their 4th album (at Budokan).  This book not only is about Cheap Trick but what was going on during this time period (locally, politically, musically).  So much information is in this book it will blow your mind.  One of the best books about a band I've ever read.  

Brian and I talk about the cheap trick, what music he loves, how the book came about and more!  Another great interview.  

Brian's book can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target and on  his website (thisbandhasnopast.com).  Brian's website is a place for all things Cheap Trick.. you'll find some great articles and photos not found in the book.

INTERVIEW with BUTCH PATRICK (Eddie Munster) / Rob Zombie / The Munsters Movie / The Monkees / All Things Munsters

Today we talk to Butch about the new Rob Zombie Munsters Movie, Butch's favorite munsters episodes, his appearance on a MONKEES episode, The Munsters Album, The Koach and more!  

Mike and I grew up watching the Munsters on TV (like alot of people our age) so this was such a great thing for us to be able to talk to Butch Patrick for the podcast and a great way to kick off the new Munsters Movie coming out September 27th on Netflix.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BUTCH PATRICK:

Butch Patrick (born Patrick Alan Lilley; August 2, 1953) is an American former child actor. Beginning his professional acting career at the age of seven, Patrick is perhaps best known for his role as child werewolf Eddie Munster on the CBS comedy television series The Munsters from 1964 to 1966 and in the 1966 feature film Munster, Go Home!, and as Mark on the ABC Saturday morning series Lidsville from 1971 to 1973.

After The Munsters ended, Patrick continued to appear in guest-starring roles on various popular television series of the 1960s, including I Dream of Jeannie, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Daniel Boone, and Adam-12, as well as a recurring role as Gordon Dearing on the CBS family comedy series My Three Sons. During this time, Patrick also appeared in several Walt Disney films, including Way Down Cellar, The Young Loner and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, as well as portraying the role of Milo in the 1970 MGM live-action/animated film The Phantom Tollbooth.

In 1971, Patrick landed the starring role on Sid and Marty Krofft’s Saturday morning children’s program Lidsville, broadcast on ABC. In the psychedelic fantasy series, Patrick portrayed Mark, a boy lost in a strange land of walking, talking, singing hats, opposite veteran character actors Charles Nelson Reilly and Billie Hayes. The show was in production from 1971 to 1973.  Butch can be heard in the new Rob Zombie Munsters movie as "the tin can man".
