Welcome to The Cast Files podcast, where we delve into the spooky and supernatural world of TV shows and movies. In our latest season, we’ll be exploring the dark and twisted world of HBO’s Carnivale. This haunting show takes place during the Great Depression and follows the journey of a young man named Ben Hawkins, who discovers he has extraordinary powers and is drawn into a battle between good and evil. As we dive into this new season, get ready to be spooked by the mysterious carnival performers who seem to possess supernatural abilities. From the sultry and seductive snake charmer to the terrifying strongman with superhuman strength, each character adds to the show’s eerie and otherworldly atmosphere. But the spookiness doesn’t stop there. Carnivale’s setting in Depression-era America adds a layer of unsettling darkness as characters struggle to survive in a world plagued by poverty, illness, and desperation. And as Ben delves deeper into his powers and the battle between good and evil intensifies, the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, leaving viewers on edge and unsure of what’s to come. So join us on The Cast Files as we explore the creepy and mysterious world of Carnivale, filled with supernatural powers, haunted characters, and spine-tingling twists and turns. Get ready to be transported to a world where the line between the living and the dead is blurred and nothing is quite as it seems.

Everybody is stressing out our boy in this one. He's not handling it very well. (Kristen Note: No one's surprised!)

Show Notes
Hurricane Ian is on his way! So, that's top of mind here. We might be as stressed as Daive's fav boy, Mulder. J/K we aren't hallucinating gargoyles. The amateurs win again! Woot!
This is the episode that leaned HEAVILY on foreshadowing and I had a blast pointing it out throughout the recap. Sadly, D wanted it to be about a gargoyle for real, and honestly, that's not what this show is about.
We talk about libraries (they're great, get a card if you can. Libraries offer audiobooks, magazines, digital copies, and all kinds of cool resources that wouldn't be available if we tried to make libraries a thing today - take advantage!).
We discuss dream interpretation! I was obsessed with this as a teen. I still have very vivid dreams and nightmares, but no longer own a dream dictionary.
We also discuss the gross concept that some people still have that in order to understand a person you must become them, but they do not apply that to an unhoused person of a different background, instead it's always something awful and violent and used as an excuse.
Was this a good episode? It wasn't a bad episode. Did I enjoy it? Yes.
