A Conversation with Samantha Sloyan
Hey all! We're so excited to share this chat we had with the incredible Samantha Sloyan last week. You love to hate her in Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and Usher, but in real life, Sam is so incredibly lovely and thoughtful. We had an absolute blast talking with her. We chatted about Sam's experiences on the stage vs in front of the camera, how she got so good at reciting bible verses, and why she enjoys playing jerks.

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 show will be posting our podcast to YouTube in video format, so subscribe if you want to see our beautiful faces: https://www.youtube.com/@DoofMediaCheck out the show schedule: https://tinyurl.com/244c4ejmGet Merch: https://doofmedia.myshopify.com/Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/doofmediaStay updated with Flanagan's Wake: https://bsky.app/profile/flanaganswakepod.bsky.socialMessage us at flanaganswakepod@gmail.comEdited by Jason Russell - https://www.slant6creative.com/Original music created by Matt FreemanShow artwork by Brian Hughes
