Penny invites some old friends - Erin Haas, Rachel Freitas, Jed O’Berry, and Adam P. Cray - onto the podcast to explore the topic of “What Makes a Cult Television Show?” in this spirited New Year’s episode! We discuss various topics, including: What are the characteristics of a cult show? Should there be a new Dark Shadows if the tone is changed? Should a new DS be a remake or a continuation?
