Nick D – Marnie Shure, Food, Horror & Humid Vampires

Nick welcomes food writer and horror fan Marnie Shure to the podcast to discuss the upcoming “Mortified” event at The Music Box Theatre, the *Halloween* movie franchise, and some food stories, including California’s new regulations on food labels, the oddity of McDonald’s Chicken Big Mac, the trend of “Fridgescaping,” and the latest M&M flavor rankings. Later, Esmeralda Leon teaches Nick about the fabulous Spanish term “tocaya,” and they chat about Gene Hackman being grumpy, vampires avoiding humidity, and why people should just leave Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder alone. They also taste test some incredibly tasty buttery pretzels from Korea. [Ep290]
