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.Join Patreon to support the show and see bonus videos from this episode: https://www.patreon.com/raedenSubscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@raedengreerWatch the full video of this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i5_hJSf0-vAUse discount code PRETENDER at checkout for 15% off your order from Three Spirit Elixirs.

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.I'm also bringing you a NEW non-alcoholic drink of the week and it's my favorite NA beer, Athletic Brewing.

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!

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.Watch this episode on YouTube: tinyurl.com/raedenytJoin Patreon for bonus content from this episode and more: patreon.com/raeden Hosted on Acast.
