    The LaLaurie Sisters of AHS Coven: 10 Year Reunion

    The LaLaurie Sisters of AHS Coven: 10 Year Reunion

    It's been 10 years since American Horror Story: Coven. I played one of Kathy Bates' Madame LaLaurie's daughters. I had two sisters, played by Ashlynn Ross and Jennifer Lynn Warren. This interview marks the first time the three of us have all been together in the last 10 years.

    We're talking all about our favorite memories from working on the show, our on-set injuries, the absurdity of playing some of the more outlandish scenes from the show (including one of Ashlynn's scenes that Ryan Murphy allegedly called "the most f*cked up thing" they had ever done), and what every transplant learns about the perils of smoking in California. We're also talking about what we've learned in the last 10 years about showbiz, life, and the big reason why actors make great directors.

    Waking Up In Vegas (Sober Edition)

    On this episode, I'm discussing my magical hat, my first trip to Vegas as a sober person, my end-of-year rituals for transitioning to the new year, and my feelings at the end of 2 years of working on a documentary I've finally finished. As always, I have a movie and drink of the week for you.

    On this episode, I'm discussing getting stung by bees and the home remedy I used involving a condiment, what I've learned from being sober for 2 years now, and recommending two great recent docu-series I'm loving. Also discussed: the problems I have with movie theater concession stand menus' evolution and people eating a cheeseburger in the theater. This episode's Movie of the Week is a comedy from 1992 currently streaming on HBO Max.

    Uncomfortable Energy

    Uncomfortable Energy

    In a quest to quell my lower back pain, I started visiting a chiropractor and the experience was full of surprises. I also went for a massage and was unexpectedly assigned a male massage therapist who was peak uncomfortable energy. No drink of the week this episode but a great movie recommendation at the end, as always.
