Nevermore Academy

And we ended up having a screening of it at Charleville Castle in County Offaly in Tullamore, which as you know has been used for a lot of films, you know.

In fact, they used it in Wednesday, in the last season of Wednesday, as the Nevermore Academy.

But, and that's where I met Sl- that's where I met Slaine, and she was with Paul Congdon, uh, who's a magazine publisher, I think Positive Life magazine, and that's where I met her, and we kind of started chatting, and we th- we thought, you know, it'd be lovely to have her involved.

But that's what I mean, that I kept meeting all these amazing people, and then I write roles for them, 'cause I thought, it's my first feature, I may as well learn on the job, and that's exactly what I set out to do and just learn as I went along.

Ooh.

Welcome bakers to Nevermore Academy.

[thunder]

This is so cool.

[dramatic music]

And those were scenes from the Tim Burton Charles Addams co-conspiratorial gothic spree, Wednesday, the surreal small screen exploits of that mysterious Addams family offspring playing out at the equally strange Nevermore Academy.

And those highly unusual misadventures continue in his third upcoming unraveling further, starring Andrew McCarthy, our guest on the show, talking about his equally enigmatic outing in the surreal hyper-paranoid science fiction thriller, Orion, in which McCarthy stars as the interrogator of an astronaut with amnesia, memories that may hold key information predicting the end of the world.

The original Brat Pack actor will also share memories of what it meant to him to portray late literary legend Henry Miller, directed by Claude Chabrol.

What, what's that Castle one?

Uh, Nevermore Academy.

Well, what did I, what did I say last week? That shit's like concrete snakes? [laughs]

[laughs] Dude.

One is the Goth Girl's Backpack, which opens up to reveal her dorm room situated above a storage compartment for whatever you want to put in it.

The other set is the delightfully creepy Nevermore Academy.
