Total Conundrum x Jamison Newlander: The Frog Brother Files
Episode Summary: This week, we sit down with the iconic Jamison Newlander, better known as Alan Frog from the cult classic The Lost Boys! Jamison gives us a peek behind the scenes of vampire hunting in the ‘80s, what it was like working alongside the Coreys, and how the film continues to influence fans and pop culture nearly 40 years later.
But Jamison is far more than a Frog Brother. He’s a multi-talented actor, director, playwright, and creator with a wicked sense of humor. We dive into his creative process, his passion projects (including his award-winning play Remember This), and his ghost-hunting adventures with Corey Feldman featured on Corey’s YouTube channel.
Oh yeah—we totally asked if he’d go ghost hunting with us. You know we had to.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
