DOUBLE FEATURE: PEOPLE ARE STRANGE (The Addams Family & Addams Family Values) feat. Karlo Yeager Rodríguez
Added 2021-10-07 14:31:35 +0000 UTCWriter and host of Podside Picnic Karlo Yeager Rodríguez returns for a Spooky Season™ Double Feature to discuss Barry Sonnenfeld's twin forays into the lives of the altogether ooky family - 'The Addams Family' and 'Addams Family Values'.
We don our witches shawls and broomsticks to dive deep into the complex history of the characters, originally the creations of New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams. Then, we go long on the impeccable performances of the pitch perfect comedic cast (including the late, incomparable Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci), the films' subversive messages on defining family, and why The Addams Family might be the tonal and thematic antithesis of Ted Lasso.
