October with the STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast!
If you have been contemplating a subscription here, Ocktober F. Est is THE time, y'all!
I saw someone describe their conversation podcast as “lifestyle narration.” How would I describe the STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast? Middle-aged, married showbiz hopefuls share their honest, meandering, wildly spirited, after-dinner humor and humorously heated conversation, once a month? Ahhhh, but, sometimes there’s bonus content, too, like reacting to entire seasons of television (like season 11 of VANDERPUMP RULES and season 2 of AND JUST LIKE THAT — all STILL up and available as bonus content).
And, sometimes.
Sometimes, this kooky ol’ couple puts out movie watch-alongs. Yeah. They (we’ll) watch a movie and record it so you can play it alongside your OWN watch of said movie. How many have we done so far? Too many to count.
Ok, I counted. 31. We have 31 watch-alongs available, some are free and some are BONUS behind our tiny lil’ paywall.
AND THIS OCTOBER WE ARE PUTTING OUT FIVE NEW SCARY MOVIE WATCH-ALONGS IN ADDITION TO OUR GRATIS MONTHLY SFH EPISODE! SO THAT WILL MAKE A TOTAL OF 36 WATCH-ALONGS TOTAL!! WOW!
We appreciate you subscribing to all of our shenanigans here at the Weekend Water substack portal, whether you are enjoying our free content (I put out a lot of free posts and PFT keeps folks up to date on his shows and things), or you have the time and good fortune to mainline our paywall content. We treasure every subscriber, no matter which level you choose to be with us (we are truly honored you are here!)
It might surprise you to learn if you are a supporter of our work here, you are also supporting hard-won union labor.
That's right. The STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast is an official SAG-AFTRA signatory production (which stands for, as you know, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the official guild that represents entertainers, like us).
Our beloved and precious STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast is an official union SAG-AFTRA signatory production that keeps us employed as performers who self-create.
Every dollar you contribute to keeping us on the podcast airwaves and substack printing press, enables health insurance buy-in and keeps our show “under the card” while showbiz (capitalism?) sorts its epic tizzy fit OUT. We are independent producers creating jobs and contributing to the comedy landscape with our small but mighty show.
That is to say, THANK YOU for joining us here and know that every single listener supported dime that comes our way truly means the world to us. We signed as a SAG-AFTRA production just last year, when our showbiz unions were on a six month strike, and it was a lifeline during a turbulent year. We have been keeping STAY F. HOMEKINS going ever since that first month of the pandemic back in 2020, and we were never quite sure if we would stay on the air because we had no plan. BUT it has been deeply satisfying to us to connect with listeners (hey! get in that comment section below!) Y’all keep us motivated to keep going with this total and utter soul-filling joy. We love recording! (AND HOPE YOU LOVE LISTENING.)
So, thank you for being a part of this adventure and get ready to BE SCARED! Or not scared, because we will be watching FIVE HORROR TYPE MOVIES WITH YOU, SO YOUR HAIR WON’T INSTANTLY TURN WHITE, THE MONTH OF OCTOBER! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
A WATCH-ALONG EVERY THURSDAY OF OCTOBER, THERE ARE FIVE THURSDAYS, EEK THAT IS SCARY, TOO!
Get your Halloween candy and your emotional support speakers ready to sync up with our voices for the watch-alongs and FEEL OUR GRATITUDE to YOU for supporting our quirky podcast offerings!
Weekend Water Hugs,
Janie (& PFT)
I am so excited for this I may just explode. Your watch-a-longs are my favorite thing in the world, and I love spooky season. I somehow missed that you did a watch-a-long for "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" until almost a week after you dropped it. That is one of my favorite movies, and I have already done that watch-a-long 3 times. I will upgrade to founding member on my next paycheck. Seriously, though, if you charged $50 per watch-a-long, I'd pay that.
I started my way on VDP Rules so that once I get to season 11, I can subscribe and follow along with you. Midway through season 9, almost there!
