Psychic Sissy Pyrex – Happy Hour – It’s New Orleans

We invited film maker Kevin McLin on Happy Hour because he seemed like an interesting guy. We had no idea how interesting. First of all he’s the creator of two of the potentially most offensive, edgy, pieces of comedy to come out of New Orleans in years. Maybe ever.

A music video about a “baby mama” and a short film about an African drug dealer and his friend Sissy Pyrex. 

But that’s not all. Although Kevin was twenty years younger than the King of Pop, he grew up with Michael Jackson.

Kevin’s dad was Michael’s spokesman from the 90’s all the way through till the end of Michael’s life.

We let Kevin talk a bit about his first movie, The Station, and his new one Loco Amigos and TV series Dirty Springs, but we all get a crack at asking him about the inside scoop on Michael. 

cari roy

Just because Michael’s dead doesn’t mean we can’t talk to him. Psychic Cari Roy gets in touch with Michael, live, and relays a message to Kevin. We see first hand why BBC America named Cari as the best psychic in the USA.

What do three women do when they graduate from college and end up in New Orelans? If you’re Annalisa Kelly, Ruby Ross and Julia Michaels you hang out together and sing Balkan folk songs.

pyeya

Calling themselves Pyeya – there’s a story behind that too – the trio slip on headphones (and take them off) and make their first recording ever, live on Happy Hour. It’s enchanting.
