It's Homecoming Weekend in North Texas, 1994. Fourteen-year-old P is barely holding it together, shaving a single whisker in the bathroom mirror, writing a note he almost can't take back, and dialing his best friend Kev before a Zippo flame turns fear into momentum.
At school, P's movie-trivia fluency sabotages Kev in a "battle of the sexes" quiz, earning heat from Kev and former best friend Bex. After class,...
SMALL BLOCK — Trailer
A 14-year-old kid, a DeLorean, and a 90s world that doesn’t have the words for who he is yet.
Small Block isn’t nostalgia, it’s a gut-check of youth, identity, and music that could save your life or end it.
Performed live by an award-winning cast and mixed like a feature film for your ears.
From the Award-winning team at TABLE READ, this is cinema you can hear.

The TV clicks on.
Everything else clicks off.
The screen glows like the last church in hell. A newscaster reads order into chaos while the world decomposes behind him. Ben watches like a man staring at his own grave. Barbara, in Olivia Graham’s haunting performance, doesn’t watch at all. She’s already gone.
Then the floor creaks. Harry Cooper climbs out of the basement like ego in human form. Jim Connor gives him every ounce...
Barbara made it to the house. Barely.
Ben's about to turn it into a war zone.
Ben spins suddenly inside the kitchen door and the movie stops being polite. This is where Romero strips the fantasy out of survival and leaves you with splinters, sweat, and the sound of a man trying to think faster than death moves.
Zeke Alton plays Ben like a man who's already lost but refuses to lie down. He hammers, he plans, he moves. Barbara,...
They say legends never die. Turns out, neither do their zombies.
In this special Table Read Podcast event, featuring a foreword by New York Times bestselling horror author Scott Sigler, we crack open the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead script, the one George A. Romero actually wrote before the edits, the rewrites, the budget, and the chaos. This is Romero raw and unfiltered. Every word, every stage direction, every c...
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT A Table Read Podcast Event
Before Duane Jones rewrote cinema history. Before the farmhouse became ground zero for modern horror. Before "They're coming to get you, Barbara" entered the cultural lexicon forever.
There was the script George Romero actually wrote.
And holy shit, it's nothing like what you think you know.
Picture this: Ben wasn't Ben - he was "Truckdriver." Barbara was...
Henrietta has stopped speaking. At St. Rosalia Indian School in 1905, silence is the only weapon left to her. The nuns mistake it for surrender. They don’t see how compassion slips between the cracks: a blanket to a shivering girl, a crust of bread for a starving boy, a circle of children daring to call magic into being with their hands. When a glowing light answers Henrietta’s defiance, the children learn to believe again...
Moonstone Rescue (Pilot)
Maya Rhodes hasn’t spoken to her dead mother in two years. Not since the cancer. Not since her veterinarian father started putting down healthy animals and drinking alone at 2 p.m. Not since their black cat, Henrietta, began leading her to a farm everyone swears is cursed.
In Oak Bluffs, where rich men own everything and old women remember longer, lives Lupe McGregor. Part Wampanoag, part nobody’s bu...
Moonstone Rescue mixes the sweep of family history with the wild side of magic realism. Moonstone unpacks the tangled lives of a small-town family... think intergenerational secrets, a talking cat with attitude, and ghosts that are way more than memories.
It’s part coming-of-age, part supernatural mystery, all wrapped in a voice that’s equal parts poetic and unfiltered. The story hits that sweet spot where grief collides wi...
PABLO’S RHINO – ACT THREE
This is it. The rhino’s still dead. Pablo’s still insane. And our three idiots? They’re in way too deep… and now they’re in a musical.
Charlie’s hallucinating. Sam might be in love. Marcus definitely joins a jungle cult. And somehow, everyone’s singing. Yes, even Pablo. Yes, it slaps.
There’s a DEA sting gone sideways. A Colombian jungle rave with ayahuasca and jazz hands. A butt gets shot. A fake rh...
Our three heroes are officially in over their heads.
After accidentally killing a rhinoceros that belonged to Pablo Escobar (yes, that Pablo Escobar), Charlie, Sam, and Marcus must scramble to replace the beast—or face the wrath of a very-much-alive crime lord.
Act Two turns the volume up on absurdity, as the guys tumble through hallucinogenic jungle rituals, cartel parties, DEA showdowns, a full-on rhino heist, and one unex...
Charlie Bleeker’s life is unraveling—his writing career is stalled, his ex-wife is a cop who can't resist pulling him over, and his teenage son views him as a failure.
When his reckless childhood friend Marcus proposes a dubious investment opportunity in Colombia, Charlie reluctantly agrees, setting off a chain of events that spiral hilariously out of control.
From entanglements with a reformed cartel leader-turned-pastry ch...
Pablo’s Rhino
Welcome to the table read that makes international crime, midlife crises, and questionable decision-making look like an art form. A washed-up accountant, a cartel queen, two bumbling DEA agents, and—because why not—Pablo Escobar’s pet rhino collide in a story so absurd, so wildly unpredictable, that even the characters can’t believe they’re in it.
Performed by an all-star cast who bring every unhinged line to...

Act 3: The Jew Who Saved Christmas
Strap in, folks—Act 3 of The Jew Who Saved Christmas takes the chaos of Acts 1 and 2, sprinkles it with some Christmas magic, and cranks it up to “Holy latke, is this really happening?” With Santa still higher than your cousin at a Phish concert, Bernie finds herself fully in charge of the sleigh, a bag of presents, and the fate of Christmas itself. No pressure, right?
From a showdown at ...
Act 2: The Jew Who Saved Christmas
So, remember how Bernie accidentally roofied Santa? Yeah, things have escalated. Turns out, when you drug the guy who single-handedly runs Christmas, the universe hands you the reins of a magical sleigh and screams, “Good luck, schmuck!” Act 2 is Bernie’s full-blown trial by (latke) fire as she fumbles her way through saving the holiday while Santa cycles between being zonked out and, uh,...
Act 1: The Jew Who Saved Christmas
Welcome to the holiday chaos you never knew you needed. Meet Bernie Gold—Spirit Airlines check-in clerk, reluctant adult, and connoisseur of bad decisions. It’s Christmas Eve (or, as Bernie will remind you, the seventh night of Hanukkah), and while the rest of O’Hare Airport is brimming with holiday cheer, Bernie’s slouching her way through TSA complaints, confiscated wine bottles, and un...
WHO KNEW CHRISTMAS NEEDED A JEW:
By: Selyna Warren, Marissa Read, and Jason Currie
BERNIE
Wait. What’s happening?
SANTA
Christmas feels different.
Something feels new.
The snow’s whiter, it’s so much brighter,
and it’s all because of you know who…
BERNIE
Wait… are you talking about me?
SANTA
I’ve roasted all the chestnuts,
killed all the Christmas geese!
But it’s been so monotonous delivering world peace.
Suddenly t...
🎄🕎HOLY FRUITCAKE, PEOPLE—IT’S HERE.🕎🎄
What happens when Santa Claus gets absolutely wrecked on Hanukkah-themed edibles and nearly crashes Christmas? Enter Bernie, a Spirit Airlines check-in agent with a vape, a whole lot of baggage (pun intended), and zero clue how to save the season.
Welcome to "The Jew Who Saved Christmas"—a table-read podcast that’s equal parts heartfelt holiday chaos and off-the-r...
Act 3: The Endgame – “Kill or Be Killed”
By the final act, the arena is littered with bodies, and only a few contestants remain. Randall, Dana, and a handful of others must navigate the final rounds, where the weapons get deadlier and the fights more brutal. But the true horror of Versus isn’t just the violence—it’s the realization that there is no way out, no matter how many lives are taken. The system is rigged, and ...

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.
