December 18, 2025 Kate Siegel Talks Down the Chimney and Holiday of Horrors
Actor and filmmaker Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Hush, Midnight Mass) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to discuss her darkly twisted short "Down the Chimney," part of Executive Producers David Dastmalchian and The Boulet Brothers' The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors anthology, now streaming on Shudder and AMC+.
Siegel dives into turning one of the most familiar holiday tropes — Santa visiting good little boys and girls — and turns it into a hilariously dark Rankin/Bass-esque tale of Seasonal body horror. And how she did it to get revenge on her sister! In their conversation, they chat about the creepy side of the holidays, childhood vulnerability, and the creepy side of Elf on the Shelf. She also talks about writing and directing horror in a compact format, collaborating with The Boulet Brothers and David Dastmalchian, and what she hopes husband Mike Flanagan got her for Christmas.
And don't miss the other interviews for Holiday of Horrors as part of the Talking Strange show, including chats with David Dastmalchian, The Boulet Brothers, and Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant).

December 18, 2025 From M3gan to Christmas Demons – Akela Cooper Gets Festive and Fearsome
Writer and director Akela Cooper (M3gan, Malignant) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to discuss her chilling short "Old Acquaintance," part of David Dastmalchian and horror drag icons The Boulet Brothers' The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors anthology now streaming on Shudder and AMC+.
Set on New Year’s Eve, "Old Acquaintance" follows a woman returning home after her father’s sudden death, only to discover the demon that haunted him may now be coming for her. Cooper unpacks the story’s emotional core, the mythology behind the demon, and why the holidays are the perfect pressure cooker for horror.
The conversation also explores Cooper’s collaboration with The Boulet Brothers and David Dastmalchian, the challenge of telling a deeply personal, terrifying story in a short format, and how holiday traditions can amplify dread instead of comfort. And don't miss the other interviews for Holiday of Horrors as part of the Talking Strange show, including chats with David Dastmalchian, The Boulet Brothers, and Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Hush, The Fall of the House of Usher).

December 17, 2025 David Dastmalchian Gets Festive and Fearsome in 'Holiday of Horrors'
Actor, writer, and monster kid David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, Dust Bunny) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to dive deep into The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors, the chilling four-part anthology now streaming on Shudder and AMC+.
Dastmalchian discusses his close friendship and creative partnership with The Boulet Brothers, how they collaborated both on-screen and behind the scenes, and why the holidays are his favorite time of year to unleash fear. He also breaks down working with Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House) and Akela Cooper (M3GAN) about their holiday shorts, and delves into his directed story "Yeti or Not" — a snowy nightmare written with Jennifer Polania and Leah Kilpatrick, who also designed the terrifying Yeti creature. From Christmas horror traditions to monster design, collaboration, and finding joy in seasonal darkness, David and Aaton pulls back the curtain on how Holiday of Horrors came together, and why festive fear hits differently.

December 12, 2025David Dastmalchian Talks Dust Bunny, Childhood Monsters & Coffin Chats
Actor, writer, and monster kid David Dastmalchian joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to talk about his role as a badass hitman in Dust Bunny (opening in theaters Dec. 12), his own childhood nightmares, and chatting about mortality from inside a coffin.
In Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny, David plays a mysterious hitman sent to take out Mads Mikkelsen’s character who is a high-value target in a fantastical criminal underworld. The job seems simple until he finds his mark seated with a 10-year-old girl, and suddenly the mission, the money, and his own buried history collide. David breaks down how Fuller pitched the role from the character’s point of view and why a monster in the bed might stop this killer cold.
Aaron and David dig into:
David’s childhood monsters: a small Frankenstein’s creature stepping out of a closet door, and people who beg him for help before transforming into werewolves

How those fears now live on in his comic Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter and other writing projects

Bryan Fuller’s heightened “world at 11” tone — grounded emotion with stylized color, comedy, and horror (think John Wick meets Amélie with a touch of Spielberg, Dante, and Sondheim)

Dust Bunny as a holiday release and why David sees it as a perfect family-sharing, big-screen fairy tale for spooky-minded folks of all ages
They also talk about Grave Conversations, David’s YouTube show where he interviews guests while lying together in coffins, and how those end-of-life, afterlife, and legacy discussions reveal a more vulnerable side of people like Bryan Fuller.

December 11, 2025 Dust Bunny: Bryan Fuller's Directorial Debut
Visionary creator Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, American Gods) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to discuss his feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny. The movie is a dark, fantastical fairy tale about childhood fear, imagined monsters, and the very real ones hiding in plain sight. The film stars Mads Mikkelsen as a mysterious hitman who kills real-life monsters and Sophie Sloan as a fearless 10-year-old girl convinced something evil has devoured her family. Together, they battle assassins, confront grief, and blur the line between fantasy and reality in a story that reminds viewers of the hyper-realized worlds of John Wick and Amélie.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Fuller breaks down the film’s heightened storybook aesthetic, monster design inspired by a child’s imagination, action sequences that feel almost balletic, and what it’s like directing performers like Mads Mikkelsen, Sigourney Weaver, and David Dastlmalchian. He also opens up about his own belief in the supernatural, including a chilling, unexplained encounter he experienced while living in Los Angeles.
It’s a conversation about monsters, fairy tales, ghosts, and why believing children, and embracing imagination, may be the most powerful tool we have.
What was your childhood monster under the bed, or in the closet? Sound off in the comments!

November 25, 2025 Foxy Shazam's Eric Nally on James Gunn, Peacemaker, and Paranormal Encounters
Foxy Shazam frontman Eric Nally joins Talking Strange to talk about the band’s huge year — from their song “Oh Lord” becoming the opening-credits dance theme for Peacemaker Season 2, to appearing on the Superman (2025) soundtrack as the fictional band The Mighty Crabjoys. With James Gunn calling Foxy Shazam “objectively the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world,” the band also dropped two new albums: Animality Opera and Box of Magic.
Eric also shares some truly bizarre paranormal stories from his travels — including filming a music video inside the notoriously haunted Bobby Mackey’s Music World.

November 14, 2025 Mark Duplass Returns! Inside The Creep Tapes Season Two
What makes a horror story truly unsettling? Is it the monster, or the man behind the camera?
In this Talking Strange episode, host Aaron Sagers sits down with Mark Duplass — who previously joined the show to talk his Hulu series Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal — to talk about The Creep Tapes, the long-awaited second season of his found-footage horror series spun off from The Creep films, which returns Friday, November 14 on Shudder and AMC+.
Duplass — who co-created the franchise with Patrick Brice — dives into the twisted psychology of his infamous serial-killer character, the art of balancing comedy and dread, and the really scary state of the entertainment industry.
With guest stars David Dastmalchian (a frequent friend to Talking Strange), Robert Longstreet, and Katie Aselton, this season of The Creep Tapes is dark, funny, and even more disturbingly intimate.

Iconic comedian, actor, and paranormal enthusiast Dan Aykroyd of Ghostbusters joins Aaron Sagers on Talking Strange to discuss the unbelievable true stories behind Season 3 of History Channel's The UnBelievable. From satanic cats to skyfalls, fire ants, and chainsaw miracles, Aykroyd dives into bizarre-but-true moments in human history that are stranger than fiction.
