Ep54—Halloween Special: A Reunion of Adams and the Addams Family

Becky and Jake

For this Halloween episode of Seen on the Small Screen, Becky,  Jake, and Sammy the cat have once again interrupted the flow of their own podcast schedule to give an extra injection of holiday day cheer for the month when pumpkins grin, no doubt at the prospect that by next month they'll be pie. This time around, they're going to channel the creepy, the kooky, the mysterious,  and not to mention the spooky with a late 90's attempt at rebooting another franchiseThe Addams Family Reunion. This one starts with an anxious Gomez Addamsplayed by the venerable Tim Curryreceiving a book in the mail. Calling a family counsel, he reveals it's a book that lists every person with the last name of Addams who ever lived. With this knowledge and a 5,000 dollar fee, they send out feelers for living relatives to enlarge the spooky family circle of weirdness with a +2 modifier. What they get is an invitation to a family reunion, one with an obviously mistaken spelling of Addams. There the Addams meet the Adams, a family of scheming lowlifes out to fleece their patriarch dad of all his wealth. And, Doctor Phillip, the family's oldest son, conspires with his greedy siblings to undo the weird newcomers. Can the Addams Family members find it within themselves to rise and reunite in a film with the word reunion clearly used  in its title? Enjoy your journey through fall at this most excellent time of the year.
