Wrap: Musetta Vander and the Hillenbrand brothers from Transylmania!

We give thanks for vampires, 800 year old Romanian castles and our guests, actress Musetta Vander and directors Scott and David Hillenbrand of the upcoming horror comedy feature, Transylmania.

See this episode – in color! – at www.theStream.tv

As anyone in Los Angeles will tell you, Halloween in this city stretches pretty far past October 31. For us, it’s lasted well into Thanksgiving, as we hosted a troika of guests from the soon-to-be-released vampire spoof, Transylmania - in theaters December 4th, 2009.

We did kowtow a little to the current holiday. We effected this in true, grand LIVE! From the Future… style with Stu venting about the worst Thanksgiving side dishes ever. His candidates? Yams with those ugly little wet marshmallows.

Andrea Ball (andreaball.com) gets ready to take some live Instant Messages in her "Beat It" edition jacket. Smooth, criminal baby!

Our IM Girl for the evening, the lovely and vivacious Andrea Ball (substituting for Jessie Schneiderman), volunteered green beans as her least favorite side dish, and LFTF’s musical director, John Fulton, piped up that he hated cranberry sauce. Communist! At least that’s what I think he said; honestly, nobody pays him any attention when he’s not playing music.

John Fulton, the new spokesman for "Midnight Von Douche"

Jared "I brought the tripods and legal releases" Greenhouse shows us his one-handed technique.

Subsequent to this discussion, we welcomed Musetta Vander, one of the stars of Transylmania, who plays vampire hunter Teodora van Sloan (which, coincidentally, is also the name of John Fulton’s transvestite lounge singer alter ego).

Actress Musetta Vander, aka "Teodora Van Sloan" from the new comedy feature "Transylmania" talks about Zip Lining from a castle, training with knives and the countless ways she could punish Stu.

Cheerful Musetta talked about her experiences on the (freezing cold Romanian) set of Transylmania, which included delivering her lines in an Eastern European accent (hot!), taking sword fighting lessons for a month (er, not that kind of sword fighting), and training in martial arts.

Musetta Vander sharpens her fingers as she prepares to stab Stu in the neck - vampire-style.

Then it was time for Musetta to play: “Ikea or Romanian Town?” Thanks to our little quiz, Musetta is now well acquainted with the best cheap pillowcases the Swedes have to offer, and the countless Romanian towns that no one can pronounce. Who says you don’t learn anything on our show?

John tries to convince Andrea that some women actually like his sweater.

Next up were Musetta’s former bosses, Scott and David Hillenbrand, the directors of Transylmania. Scott and David have tag-teamed for over half a dozen movies, including National Lampoon Presents: Dorm Daze, and their collaboration reaches back far in the past – they’ve been making films together since childhood.

Scott and David Hillenbrand listen unenthusiastically to Stu's movie pitches, inlcuding: "Octopus Outfielder: the life and times of Duke McNutts", "Tardball", the unofficial sequel to Dodgeball and "Earnest goes to Hometown Buffet", the proposed 15th installment of the beloved "Earnest goes to..." series.

We tested just how strong those bonds really are by putting the brothers through our notorious “59 Second Gauntlet” (formerly the “60 Second Gauntlet”, now shaved for budgetary reasons). Scott fired off a few quick and theoretically correct answers, but David struggled to come up with a meaningful comeback or two – one stumper was, “Biggest jerk in high school?” Might I propose example “A” below?

John Fulton was a bouncer at LL Bean.

Wow, all that questioning and zip lining and Ikea catalog itemizing really made us hungry. We’re gonna feast for a few days, then we’ll see you at the usual time next Tuesday for a fresh new show. Until then, happy Thanksgiving from all of us LFTFers. Pass the yams and marshmallows, will ya?

WRAP: Danielle Bisutti from True Jackson, VP

Stu tries to host a clean show (PG-13 at best) with Danielle Bisutti of Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP.

Maybe it is easy being green. See this episode at www.theStream.tv

It’s not often that Live! From the Future… hosts a guest who appears in a kid-friendly TV show. Danielle Bisutti, one of the stars of Nickelodeon’s teen fashion sitcom True Jackson, VP, stopped by for a little good clean (mostly clean) fun.

Danielle explains exactly how she’s gonna grab this show.

Stu and John made subtle yet oily suggestive comments about Jessie’s wet hair, acquired from a quick shower after a late encounter at Bar Method.

Jessie shows her patented hair tousling technique. Chat roomers passed out in short order.

Our Host somehow got over the heavy breathing long enough to interview the lovely, kelly green-clad Danielle. We talked about her show, now striding along in its second season – thank you very much – and the production thereof.

Stu and Danielle Bisutti having good clean fun sharing filthy stories. I’M KIDDING! – (it wasn’t fun).

Danielle was born into the business; this self professed “theater geek” had very early memories of live TV, sitting in the studio audience for a taping of Mork and Mindy (Nanu Nanu!) She also loves the Godfather, which was good because, from now on, we bring everyone on by kissing Stu’s ring. See examples A and B.

Danielle “Corleone’s” her way on to the show. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Danielle’s been acting professionally for a while, appearing on Two and a Half Men, Dharma and Greg and Without a Trace. On True Jackson, VP, she plays Amanda, a viperish corporate type forever trying to foil the heroine of the title. Our chatties were curious about Danielle’s experience in this and other shows, and saved us from descending further into R-rated murk with good questions about her career. One of the most pertinent ones was, “Will Amanda ever bust out in song?”

Song lovers rejoice – Danielle had some serious pipes.

Danielle is a fine singer. She accompanied John on a new song: “At Least You’re Home By 8:30″ and ”Check It.”

Danielle’s also pretty good at answering quizzes. On the infamous Ikea or Social Networking Site?, our guest nailed most of the 10 questions to take home the magnificent prize (i.e. gratitude for enduring the bit).

Danielle ponders: “Is ‘Nujij’ an Ikea Product or a Social Networking Site?”

Then Danielle also nearly made it through all queries in our one-minute, think-fast Gauntlet, managing to keep her porn star name a secret (inappropriate!) but revealing that she’d rather date Sinatra than Elvis (even if he was the young, skinny Elvis? Really, Danielle?)

John shows his true feeling about LV. Scandal!

Johnny Fulron broadcasts only #1 hits.

Stu and Danielle brought the interview to a close by giving away gifts of intrinsic emotional value such as a book by Stu’s friend and a DVD. On the subject of intrinsic emotional value, Stu also screened a sneak preview of his relentlessly flogged web series,  Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate.

Check out a new episode every Monday on Babelgum.com/htsaaar

Clearly, one of these kids knows which camera is on.

After the sneak, Danielle joined John for a special duet of The Fresh’s classic, “Two Buck Chuck”. But again, this was meant to be clean entertainment, so the duo modified the lyrics to sing about the benefits of cheap wine at family Thanksgivings. With that, we managed to once again escape the sharp eye of the Motion Picture Association of America and score only a mild R rating (or PG-13 if you’re optimistic) for this episode.

Will we succeed in doing so next week? Doubtful – our guests include several vampires. Tune in next week for more… we probably won’t be very PG-13 in that one.

WRAP: Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon!

Tuesday, November 10 2009 – we were drenched in comedy and biological fluids with standups Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon.

Feast your eyes – and other organs – on this episode at www.theStream.tv

This episode’s recurring theme was comedy comedy COMEDY, as we hosted the dangerous twin-barreled standup tandem of Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon.

(Had we been drinking, someone would have gotten seriously hurt)

Before our esteemed guests took their chairs, we read a letter from one viewer in Florida, who asked why, oh why, does Stu find it necessary to mock and insult that great state’s capitol city, Tallahassee? Nothing personal, Anonymous Letter Writer, Stu just hates the place with an unreasonable and bitter passion.

John and Jessie warm up their pipes… and their vocal chords.

On a more positive note, the second episode of the Stu-starring web series Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate has debuted, and our Host tried to prove it by showing a clip from the webisode. Which would have been a lot of fun, except the clip got truncated at about the 1.3 second mark.

Check out a new episode every Monday on Babelgum.com/htsaaar) (*Note: Stu wrote the November 16th episode – The Planet of eventually exploding timebombs of calamitous proportions)

Back here in sunny, gulag-free Los Angeles, Mitch arrived with a whole bunch of swag, namely DVDs and CDs of his appearances.

Mitch signing the DVD’s and CD’s for the guy who won: 4 guys named Stuart; uncanny!

He also arrived with a special lodging request – permission to fall asleep on Jessie’s lady business.

Mitch, proving that this “genital-sleeping clause” is actually in Mitch’s contract.

Mitch, demonstrating his sleeping technique on Gary Cannon’s “hand-gina”

Payoff: Mitch, finally making good on his end of the bargain to sleep where babies are made. Jessie, happily obliges. Team player, Jessie!

In addition to helping Mitch satisfy the Jessie request, we also extracted a few juicy road stories from the ever-touring comedians, such as the time Mitch heroically accepted a sloppy seconds BEEJ in a San Jose green room.

Mitch explains exactly how the accommodating young San Jose resident replaced her tongue ring after personally thanking both Gary and Mitch for a good show. Ah, the road.

John Fulton was on fire this night, playing so fast, he literally became a blur.

John Fulton played in the band “Blur” in the 90’s.

Gary, Mitch, Stu and the multi-talented Jared Greenhouse discuss the gay porn they will shoot – “Blazing Saddle Rash”

Producer Lauren “LV” Valdez takes a moment to reflect on life; courtesy of Newsweek and Maxim.

A rare behind the scenes look at the studio – that’s Brian Gramo’s hat in the bottom left, Producer LV, Stu and Jared Greenhouse. Great times!

Sizzle Reel (work in progress – feedback?)

Wrap 2: Nicolas Wright/Andrea Abbate AND Leyna Weber/Hal B. Klein

Election day last Tuesday and we voted in a DOUBLE SHOW !

The 1st show was @8PM, and featured 2 guests: A) sitcom writer Andrea Abbate and B) actor Nicolas Wright, both from CBS’s hit comedy “Accidentally on Purpose”  - (Mondays at 8:30 on CBS).

Watch Nicolas Wright and Andrea Abbate on www.theStream.tv

And our 2nd show was @9PM, and featured thriller-dancing thespian Leyna Weber and culinary-enthusiast/history-nerd actor Hal B. Klein!

Watch Leyna Weber and Hal B.Klein on www.theStream.tv!

25% of the night’s guests was our first: comedy writer Andrea Abbate. Andrea works on the truly hilarious new CBS sitcom “Accidentally on Purpose” starring Jenna Elfman. Watch it after “How I met your mother” and then, just don’t leave the couch. “2 1/2 men” comes on after “Accidentally” and there’s your night!

Stu smiles through his botox while comedy writer Andrea Abbate waits patiently.

Stu grilled her mercilessly about her experiences on the show and the live chat room followed suit (we are a live and interactive show), but the most compelling question from the chatties – Do the actors ever bribe writers to get more lines?  We can’t say what she said – but, if you’ve ever seen a corpulent comedy writer, you already know the answer.

Andrea Abbate, Nicolas Wright and Stuart “reflect” on the show.

Young actor Nicolas Wright was up next. Nicolas is Canadian, which makes him exotic, interesting, and possibly a Communist. (Hey, isn’t Stu Canadian? We’re calling a Mountie just to check if he’s on a milk carton.)

On Accidentally on Purpose, Nic plays Davis, a freeloading associate of the show’s lead character, Billie.

Nicolas plays the “slap skateboard” – angry letters from Victor Wooten followed. (Just Google “Victor Wooten Bass”)

Nicolas talked about getting started in acting, getting to L.A., and he brought TONS of SWAG - including several shooting signed scripts, 4 signed photos of the cast and, a working skateboard, that’s not only been used on the first 8 episodes, but was also signed by the show’s actors.

These prizes were given away to chat roomers who could answer Nic’s trivia questions about the show. Rumors abound that John Fulton used a series of chat room surrogates to claim several of the gifts; the LFTF Investigative Unit is currently conducting inquiries and taking DNA samples from cans of Evo to ascertain the truth.

John Fulton thinks about which John Mayer song to rip off. At least it wasn’t “Your body is a wonderland”

Actress Leyna Weber teaches Stu how to properly do the pottery scene from “Ghost”

Show number two got off to a kicking start – literally – with energetic guest Leyna Weber. She’s the star of the web series “Road to the Altar”, playing a stressed bride-to-be getting hitched to Jaleel White (Urkel in “Family Matters”). She also taught the Thriller dance, leading LFTF ace Producer LV, TheStream.TV’s Chloe and the ever-flexible Jessie.

Jessie wonders if “going commando” was a good idea after doing the Thriller dance.

Last (and definitely least – kidding, Hal!), it was time to EAT with actor and self-taught gourmet Hal B. Klein. Hal plays interesting characters in such films as Bottle Shock and Nobel Son, but is also a pretty deep character himself. He’s a self-professed history geek and a proficient cook in his free moments (Check out his website Thismanskitchen.com)

We made him prove his history geekitude in a rousing round of ‘Stache or not?, in which the object was, to identify which U.S. Presidents had facial hair. John and Stu made a wager to see if Hal was THAT good – John said: “Yes” and Stu said “No way!” Who won?!

Hal B Klein making organic basil-pesto sauce on LIVE! From the future…

Hal inquired whether or not Jessie wanted to taste his “sauce”.

This coming Tuesday, November 10th at 8PM – Comedians Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon!

Stu News ->Hurtling through space at an alarming rate! Episode 1

Hurtling Through Space at an Alarming Rate! – an absurdist sci-fi comedy series that follows the adventures of Mike Davies Jr. and Stuart Paap.

These two golf and game-obsessed pop-culture buffs are trapped in their apartment as it’s literally hurtling through space at an alarming rate!

Everything still works; all the comforts of home are remarkably intact. Moreover, friends, family, and even the pizza guy can come and go as they please through the back door – just not Mike and Stuart.

Each episode (6 in total, debuting every Monday on Babelgum.com/htsaaar) finds the apartment landing on an odd planet, often inhabited by slightly meddlesome creatures. Faced with a new predicament, viewers are left to ponder: “Will they get off this planet?”

Episode 1: The Planet of Tons of Dirty Laundry!
