TDF EP 87 – Brian Peck and the Planet of the Apes Dec 13, 2011

Show notes

is a character actor that has been in so many great movies. From Return of the Living Dead to X2, and so much more, the guy works! But I was excited because he has what has to be the best Planet of the Apes props and memorabilia collection ever. My excitement as I tour his house causes some WIND issues. It’s worth it! He’s so charming. This is so great. December Donation Button: This month donate here: Credits: Audio leveling by Music is by .

TDF EP 84 – Pete Lee and Jamie Lee (notthecomic) #Acme20 Dec 02, 2011

Show notes

is a great silly goof of a guy. He is often mistaken for gay. He and his wife, Jamie Lee, a woman… (and not the comic Jamie Lee, a person in her own right that I'll have back on the show) are the guests. It’s another ep from Acme Comedy Company’s 20th Anniversary in Minneapolis. We talk about selling merch at shows, making films, and we riff and it gets dark. Too much info is imparted. Good luck. I had a blast; I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Instead of TDF Donation this month: donate here: Credits: Audio leveling by Music is by .
