Nick D – Mike Kerz, Flashback Weekend, & Poor Seymour

Nick welcomes Mike Kerz, co-creator and co-founder of the Flashback Weekend Horror Convention and co-owner of the Midway Drive-In Theater in Dixon, Illinois, back to the podcast. Mike and Nick look back at Flashback Weekend’s 24-year history, from its beginnings to memorable conventions and celebrity guests, before previewing everything happening at this year’s event. They also talk about featured guests including David Arquette, Jane Levy, David Naughton, Dermot Mulroney, and Chicago’s own Svengoolie, along with special events coming up at the Midway Drive-In. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick as they continue revisiting the movies and TV moments that have haunted them since childhood. This time, the conversation takes an unexpectedly emotional turn with one of the most heartbreaking episodes of Futurama, featuring everyone’s favorite loyal dog, Seymour. [Ep 475]
