    79: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER - Episode 7: "The Pit and the Pendulum"

    This week on the show, there's only one Usher child left...and he's the worst one! Verna catches up with Frederick as we discuss episode 7: "The Pit and the Pendulum." Matt and Scott chat about how Henry Thomas wonderfully and weirdly depicts the depravity and monstrosity of Frederick Usher.  In celebration of the life and art of the incredible Eliza Cowey, please purchase her artwork here: https://doofmedia.myshopify.com/collections/elizas-artwork.

    A Conversation with Matt Biedel

    Hey friends! We got the incredible opportunity to sit down with actor Matt Biedel to talk for an hour or so. You know him as Sturge from Midnight Mass, Tim from The Midnight Club, and, of course, Bill T from Usher, but Matt has had a long career acting on many different shows and movies. We chatted with Matt about how his work with Mike Flanagan began, his acting philosophy, and most importantly, why Sam Sloyen is so mean to him. Also, there's a fair amount of beard talk. Matt was a wonderful guest, and we had a blast with this conversation. Please note there are some small spoilers through episode 4 of Usher. Thanks so much to Matt for taking the time to chat with us and to Mike Flanagan for connecting us! Make sure you check out Matt in Don't Move this fall and The Exorcist early next year. We'll be back at it on Thursday with more of The Fall of the House of Usher.

    This week on the show, it's Perry's time to die as we chat about episode 2 of Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher: "The Masque of the Red Death."
