And I'm back in studio now because there's actually a new series that's based out of Houston that's out, it's called Tail and Bone. Just watch that. All right, we've got the cast and crew here in the building. All right, one of the actresses, we've got Miasha White. Welcome to the Nightcap. Great. Next to you, we've got Mark Christian, another actor, and stuntman on the series. Hi, how are you doing? Great! And we've got director Danielle Magoo, and co-director, which I didn't know he was into directing, D. Ben Jackson. And yes, he asked me to say the V. You know, On the V, Ben Jackson. Okay, I'm going to start with you, Danielle, as director of this. So what exactly is Tales and Bones about? Yeah, so it's a TV horror series, okay? Full of psycho thrillers, six episodes. They're about 20 minutes each, and each episode has a very scary, dark undertone to it. I don't want to give too much away. The first EP is Dark Princess, and it ends with the sixth EP, which is The Cannibal. So if you're the type of person who's not into horror, I do not advise you to watch it. Still watch it. Definitely for horror fans. Yeah. Okay, so is it a storyline that follows throughout every episode, or is each one its own thing? Each episode is vastly different. Oh, okay. Okay, and your co-director is D. Ben Jackson. We're very familiar with you on the show. I know you as a comedian, baby. I didn't know you went to this horror stuff. So how did you get involved? I saw her post saying that she, you know, wanted some help on it. I jumped in, I messaged her, we talked, and she kind of, like, right off the rip, was like, all right, let's go. She sent me a script, and we just started working. started working. So I was just going to be like directing. I never had no idea that I was going to do any writing, even though I do write a lot of different things. And then she got me, I wrote one. I was like, if you need one, I got one. And then she was like, oh, I like that one. And that was the one with me also in it. And my boy Johnson, and just the one, he looks, he's like six five so he was he fit the mold scary yes okay I'm Neosha over here like yeah yeah he's big and bald all right so Neosha and Mark you you are actors and you're also a stuntman um what was it like entering this horror space so for me coming from like you know being a model is how I even did was actually through comedy and modeling years ago whatever this was completely different okay I actually was expecting comedy but as I continued to read the script I was like Oh, okay. So Ben reached out to you? Yes. Yes. Okay. So you were expecting, like I expected this to be horror because we know you, Ben Jackson. You're a funny man. Yes. Okay. So, wow. What a curve ball. So as I'm reading the script, I'm like, I wanted to know what was going to happen, but it was fun. I learned a lot. I would totally do it again, but my character, I think everyone's going to be quite interested. Okay. All right. Mark, you ain't new to this. You're true to this. the westerns and all that. So what drew you to Danielle's project? Basically just starting out with Danielle when it was at its infancy, when the project was kind of going a different direction at that point, becoming in as a vampire, chasing people in the forest and stuff like that. And when she restructured this and wanted to keep me on board or see if I was interested to stay on board, I looked through everything everything and I was like, yeah sure I'll do it. I end up playing the gatekeeper in this project. Jesus man, you scared the out of me the first time I met him. Okay Danielle, for people at home who are into horror or they're just curious, like I know you have a premiere coming out, give us the details. Yeah, so the movie premiere will be held at the AMC Katy Mills Theater on October the 17th. Start time will be 4 p.m., and we'll end it out at 7 p.m. So that's next Saturday. Ooh, they better show up and show out. All right, but after that, where can they watch all of the episodes? So we're waiting. We're waiting for a title approval. It's a process. It's going to take at least six weeks, and then once we know that, we'll make sure to let everyone know, and we'll update the episodes with those details. Okay, awesome. Well, you already know what to do. October 17th, AMC Theater at Katie Mills' Tail and Bones. It's the start of Season 1. All right, I hope you enjoyed this spooky episode.
