Mashable Unveils New Video Podcast Series: Say More

Mashable is thrilled to introduce Mashable Say More, an exciting new video podcast that offers insightful discussions with your favorite actors, writers, directors, and creatives. Led by Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko and Senior Creative Producer Mark Stetson, this weekly series provides extensive interviews that delve into the guests’ careers, current projects, and intriguing internet trends.

The inaugural episode showcases two remarkable interviews. Kicking things off is R.L. Stine, the renowned author known for Fear Street and Goosebumps, who joins the discussion to chat about Netflix’s forthcoming slasher film, Fear Street: Prom Queen. Directed and co-written by Matt Palmer, this film is a faithful adaptation of Stine’s cherished YA horror series. Set in 1988 Shadyside, the plot follows a masked assailant targeting prom queen aspirants. Who will make it through prom night—and who will not? You’ll need to tune in to discover.

In his interview, Stine explores his creative approach, his distinctive fanbase, and what fuels his inspiration. His witty comedic timing kept the Mashable team chuckling throughout their chat.

Also featured in the premiere episode is filmmaker Matt Wolf, who talks about his latest documentary, Pee-wee as Himself. This two-part film provides a heartfelt examination of the life and legacy of Paul Reubens, the actor behind the beloved Pee-wee Herman. Although Reubens passed away prior to the documentary’s completion, Wolf crafts a nuanced and compassionate portrayal that not only celebrates Reubens’ life but also prompts viewers to contemplate their own identities.

In their exchange, Wolf and Puchko discuss how Reubens’ candidness about his queerness impacted Pee-wee’s Playhouse, with Wolf offering his top suggestions for fans eager to delve deeper into the world of Pee-wee Herman.

New installments of Mashable Say More will be released every Friday and can be viewed on Mashable.com and YouTube. You can also subscribe to the podcast on your preferred podcast platform.
