Bloody Mary Podcast Kristin Lytie

Bloody Mary Live from Alaska features conversations with Becky Braunstein, JoAnn Schinderle and Derek Sheen discussing their favorite horror movies and in the case of Becky, their favorite horror-comedy tv show. It was so exciting to explore Alaska and perform at the legendary Koot's in Anchorage.

Becky Braunstein is a comedian and actor from Alaska, currently based in Portland, Oregon. She has appeared on Trinkets on Netflix, Shrill on Hulu, survived cancer and has a half hour comedy special on EPIX & Amazon Prime Video as part of Unprotected Sets, produced by Wanda Sykes.

JoAnn Schinderle is a standup comic, actress, and writer residing in Los Angeles, but she'll be darned to let you forget her midwestern roots. Her debut album, "Dark Jeans" was released on Comedy Dynamics in Aug '19 and sat at #1 on iTunes for the week of its release. Recently she appeared on an episode of Night Court!

Derek Sheen tours the country and has released four critically acclaimed albums on Minneapolis based Stand Up! Records, with Grammy Winning producer Dan Schlissel. All four albums are available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music right now!

In this episode I'm joined by Shannon Brown to discuss Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil! Shannon began her career touring the country doing sketch and improv comedy and now lives in Los Angeles, where she writes and directs horror-comedy shorts. Most recently, her films were screened at Screamfest, Salem Horror Fest, Horrorhound Weekend, and Final Girls Berlin. The two of us chatted about the themes within Tucker and Dale like how you can't judge a book by its cover, how important it is to find a partner that supports your dreams and the ultimate horror of all-- we all become our parents eventually.

Shannon’s horror-comedy short film, Demon Juice, is now streaming with Screamfest and TromaNow. Her next short, Overnights, will be hitting the festival circuit soon. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zos28Nr0ro

In this episode I'm joined by by New York's own very funny Annie Russell. Annie chose to discuss Scream 3 which I didn't realize was one of the most hated of the Scream franchise. Was it Gale's bangs? We don't get it and we both thoroughly enjoyed it-so forget the haters. One of my favorite memories of Annie is her explaining to me that grocery stores outside of Wisconsin do not have multiple sausage sections, a fact that still haunts me. We reminisce about that and more! Annie produces Hello Beautiful and Hour Glass Comedy in New York and you can learn more about her here:

In this episode i'm joined by Green Bay's own, Pete Andersen. Pete is also known as Tammi Truckstop who I first saw perform at Napalese Lounge's Comedy Cabaret. I was so blown away by his creativity, costuming, music choices and humor I knew I wanted to have him on Bloody Mary! We discussed Neon Demon, such a classic movie about witches and what it means to pursue your desires and dreams at all costs. This movie is beautifully packaged as an art house film but is truly brutal exploring necrophilia, cannibalism and more-- Enjoy!!

In this episode I'm joined by comedy writer and podcaster, Jordan Morris, to discuss everyone's favorite movie from a video game, Resident Evil! Jordan is one half of the podcast, Jordan, Jesse Go! and recently created the new Archie comics horror special that will be coming out later this week. Relive the early 2000's angst with us! We had a wonderful time discussing corporate greed, unlocking our secret talents (just like Mila) and the best way to fight off zombie dogs.
