Talking Lost & From with Harold Perrineau Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Actor Harold Perrineau joins Aaron to discuss his latest horror series FROM on the Epic network. Perrineau is an alum of the mythology driven series LOST (as well as well known for Constantine, The Matrix franchise, Oz, The Best Man, Claws, Romeo & Juliet, and much more) so he’s no stranger to a mystery box show. And in this paranormal pop culture interview with Aaron Sagers (Travel Channel's Paranormal Caught on Camera), he talks about what drew him to the series (and how it’s different than Lost), as well as what scares him, and the urban legends of his childhood Brooklyn neighborhood.

This episode is also viewable on YouTube.

Talking Dracula & Nosferatu with Dacre Stoker Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

This year marks both the 125th anniversary of Bram Stoker's Dracula, as well as the 100th anniversary of its unauthorized film adaptation Nosferatu. Stoker's 1897 work of Gothic horror introduced one of the world's most recognized fictional characters Count Dracula, and altered vampire lore. Meanwhile, the 1922 German expressionist film by F.W. Murnau, changed aspects of Dracula, contributed further to lore — and kicked off a protracted copyright battle with Stoker's widow, Florence. Dacre Stoker is the great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker, and the international best-selling co-author of Dracula the Un-Dead, the official family-endorsed sequel to Dracula.

Stoker joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers (Travel Channel’s Paranormal Caught on Camera) to talk about Nosferatu's legacy amongst his family, while also discussing Bram's fascination with the occult, Irish folklore, and paranormal experiences.

Talking Pirates & Cryptids with Rhys Darby Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Rhys Darby, the comedian known for Flight of the Conchords, What We Do In The Shadows, Jumanji, is an obvious choice as a Talking Strange guest because of his long-running paranormal podcast The Cryptid Factor. But he is also starring in the new comedy Our Flag Means Death, premiering on HBO Max March 3, produced and co-starring his mate Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do In The Shadows). The 10-episode season is (very) loosely based on the true adventures of 18th century would-be Gentleman Pirate Stede Bonnet (Darby). After trading in a refined life to be a swashbuckler, he becomes captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes change after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard, played by Waititi.

And in the following talk, Rhys and Aaron Sagers (Travel Channel’s Paranormal Caught on Camera) discuss the pirate's life, as well as aliens, cryptids, and UFO disclosure.

This episode is also viewable on YouTube.
