Season 2 Premiere with Special Guest Tom Dolby

It’s alive — Season Two is here!

Samantha and Bonnie welcome filmmaker Tom Dolby to talk about directing Samantha’s brand-new live comedy special, "Samantha Hale: Horror Nerd." Together, they pull back the curtain on the creative chaos of making a horror-comedy special, from childhood scares to live-show laughs.

Recorded just after the Horror Nerd live premiere at the Hollywood Improv, this episode dives into the alchemy of creativity, vulnerability, and community — and how horror icons, film history, and personal storytelling all collide to create something unforgettable.

Whether you’re a horror buff, comedy fan, or creative weirdo finding your tribe, this episode is a love letter to laughing through the dark.

Keep the laughs going and be sure to order Samantha Hale’s comedy special debut, Horror Nerd, on iTunes!
