Diaries of a Pretender

I watched all the Oscars best picture nominees except one. Tune in to this episode to find out which one of the nominated films I just could not watch and my thoughts on the other nine. I'm also googling as I go to let you know where you can watch each of the films, should you wish to partake.

Also discussed: the unhinged livestreams on my TikTok for you page and an update on my documentary short.

It's been 10 years since American Horror Story: Coven. I played one of Kathy Bates' Madame LaLaurie's daughters. I had two sisters, played by Ashlynn Ross and Jennifer Lynn Warren. This interview marks the first time the three of us have all been together in the last 10 years.

We're talking all about our favorite memories from working on the show, our on-set injuries, the absurdity of playing some of the more outlandish scenes from the show (including one of Ashlynn's scenes that Ryan Murphy allegedly called "the most f*cked up thing" they had ever done), and what every transplant learns about the perils of smoking in California. We're also talking about what we've learned in the last 10 years about showbiz, life, and the big reason why actors make great directors.

In a quest to quell my lower back pain, I started visiting a chiropractor and the experience was full of surprises. I also went for a massage and was unexpectedly assigned a male massage therapist who was peak uncomfortable energy. No drink of the week this episode but a great movie recommendation at the end, as always.

I really didn't wanna have to do this. But I have to talk about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial because the internet has forced my hand with its misinformation, misogyny, and the like.

I'm talking about the smear campaign against Amber that has apparently been engineered by Depp's team, the audio recordings of Johnny yelling at Amber, his disturbing text messages, TikTok trends centering around mocking Amber and her alleged abuse, why the trial is set in Virginia, of all places, and my personal experience being in the same room as Amber.

Owen Harn is an actor with over 40 film and television credits. He's also a real-life Florida man and he's on an upcoming Netflix series called...well...Florida Man. We're talking about Florida, what it's like to be a regional actor outside New York and LA, his experience on True Detective (he was in that famous six-minute tracking shot), and what happened after Jason Statham told him he wasn't drowning him properly on the set of the movie Homefront.

This might be my favorite episode yet! What do you think?

One late night in 2015, I was bartending in New York City. In walked a Swedish young man with the look to match—blonde-haired and blue-eyed—and opened a tab with a credit card bearing only the initials GM. We struck up a fast friendship; he told me he worked for a socialite in the city. It wouldn't be until four years later that Rasmus saw Ghislaine Maxwell on the news and realized he was unwittingly involved in a tangled web of deceit.

This is our conversation about what he saw, heard, and remembers about his time living with Ghislaine at her Upper East Side townhouse back in 2015 and the mechanics of her system to acquire young Swedish men to live with and work for her.
