>> carson: welcome back. tonight, we introduce you to a dude who's become the definition of in-demand. you can see his latest work in the new "carrie" remake and also in the new comic series "afterlife with archie." for more, here's tonight's "last call" spotlight. ♪ >> comic books have always been a part of my life. i mean i have a like vivid memories of being a kid like seven or eight years old and going to summer camp. we'd always stop at the local 7-11. so i remember buying slurpies. i remember buying chili-cheese dogs. i remember buying comic books and then going home and just reading them and eating the chili-cheese dogs. ♪ my name is roberto aguirre sacasa. i'm a writer on "glee," "spider-man turn off the dark" on broadway. currently, i am writing the "afterlife with archie" comic book horror series and i wrote the remake of "carrie." ♪ when i was a kid i read all kinds of comics.
2:39 am
i read horror comics. i read superhero comics. and i read archie comics. one of the projects that i'm working on right now is the archie zombie comic book "afterlife with archie." this is basically the zombie apocalypse starts in riverdale. which is of course where archie and betty and veronica and all his friends live. [ sound of speeding car ] [ screeching tires ] the first thing you see is you see a teenager running in the dark towards a creepy house at the edge of town and you discover that that is archie's best friend, jughead jones and he has in his arms his dog, hot dog who has been hit and it dead and bleeding. he is taking the dog to the house of sabrina the teenage witch. sabrina, even though she knows she shouldn't, she steals the necronomicon from her library and performs a ritual to bring hot dog back. but when he comes back, the dog
2:40 am
is not who he used to be. something happened in the spell and he's infected and then he bites jughead who then shows up at the halloween dance and everyone thinks he's dressed as a zombie, but in fact, he's actually a zombie. ♪ it's definitely -- comes from, for me, a huge love of the archie comic book characters and i'm a huge, huge horror fan. you know, there's such a tradition of teenage horror movies. i thought there was something really cool about taking these archetypes and putting them in a basically a horror movie scenario. ♪ i think one of the challenges we had was to make sure that even though we were telling a horror movie, we wanted to keep the characters true to their essence. and i think we've done that so that's why i think the fans are really, really responding to it. i think it's the highest selling archie comic book that they've published in i don't know how many like decades.
2:41 am
♪ >> ma, if i concentrate hard enough i can make things move. >> one of the projects i'm really excited about right now is the new "carrie" movie which just opened in theaters. i thought, is this something we need to tell again? and the truth is, when i went back to the novel and reread the novel, it seemed so, almost prescient in terms of things like violence in schools. in terms of bullying. in terms of cyber bullying. and it's one of these stories that i think kind of almost every generation has or needs its own version of the "carrie" story. and it did feel like there were ways to update in that kind of very organic fashion. putting in stuff like social media. putting in stuff about religious fanaticism. that felt like it could enrich the story as opposed to, we're just forcing this stuff upon the story.
2:42 am
>> go to your closet. >> no. no. get off me. momma. >> come on. >> no. no. >> you pray little girl. pray for forgiveness. >> mommy, let me go. let me out. mom! mom! mom! god you suck! ♪ >> i think that teenagers and horror go together for a lot of reasons. i think for a lot of kids, their teenage years are probably the most kind of scary. your body's changing. you're figuring out who you are. you're figuring out your place in the world. that's a really vulnerable, scary time for a lot of kids. ryan murphy, who's one of the co-creators of "glee" and my boss, he always says that "glee"
2:43 am
is a lot like horror because musicals are moments of extreme emotion that break out into songs. and in horror movies, extreme emotions which break out into screams. so that the line separating teenage stuff and horror stuff is actually really, really thin. and i think you definitely see that in "carrie." i mean the last act is almost like an opera. when she's at prom and everything breaks loose. and i think in "afterlife" it's no coincidence that the zombie apocalypse erupts at the annual halloween dance. ♪ "carrie" has been around for 40 years. archie's been around for 70 years. so it's fun to get a chance to put a different spin on those stories. but yeah, maybe i should take a less sacred cow the next time. ♪ >> carson: "carrie" and "afterlife with archie" are both out now.

3:13 am
return? >> i'm just drinking. you should listen. it is really exciting. >> he's going to suck blowing bubbles now. >> and then we asked for a favor in return, can we make a song together. they were like, sure, sure. and then we figured out if we are going to make a hit song out of this, it would seem kind of pathetic, because we're comedians and shouldn't do hit songs. so we decided to make an anti-hit so we could come back to our talk show and say, folks, you know, we had this opportunity, we had stargate and blew it. we couldn't think of anything else other than what the fox says. >> what? what the fox says. >> in norwegian -- >> we are actually -- >> what the fox says. >> but the idea sort of back fired on us because -- >> here you are, major hits. >> were you surprised? 100 million is ridiculous on any standard.

we're back on this try day friday with more "today." relationships can be tricky. if you had a hard time understanding the opposite sex, we enlisted some help. >> back by popular demand to answer your question, two people with a lot to say. "elle's" advice columnist e. jean carroll and matthew hussey. >> you are our favorite odd couple. we love having you guys on. >> you're our favorite odd couple.
3:24 am
>> thank you. thank you for coming off the mountain to be with us. >> chris writes in, what should you do when you want to see and address issues in your marriage but your spouse thinks everything is fine but the whole situation is making you miserable. what to do? >> i think you should get out of the house, get out of the neighborhood, pack a picnic, a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, head out, go for a hike, spread a blanket in the grass and then tell him what you're thinking. not what you're feeling, tell him what you're thinking, let him hear it. if all goes well, you can seal the deal on the blanket. >> matthew? >> okay. for me, the tone of this question says it all. when she says, i'm miserable, and he doesn't know it, that doesn't suggest to me a problem in the relationship that's a woman too afraid to confront the problem. and the problem with that is
3:25 am
those types of people -- >> she's like -- >> forget the wine. forget the picnic, forget the blanket. >> even if i gave her the courage to go and say something, the moment he'll do what a guy does, she'll be too weak to stand up to that. she has to figure out her relationship with herself before she confronts him. that involves core confidence. i'm not going to have my self-esteem tied to losing this man. that's why they don't say something, they're afraid of loss. if i can say it is more detrimental to my life to be in a relationship of pain than it is to be alone, now she's going to go and get the things she wants. >> that was good. >> even e. jean is impressed. >> i think matthew is a secret woman. you understand women. deeply. >> thank you. >> sheryl, is it okay to date your ex's best friend?
3:26 am
>> if the breakup was clean, you respect one another, and the guy is hot, yes. if he has called you in the last six months crying, no. if you have called him in the last six months for a booty call, no. >> i like that the principles are based on how hot he is. the fact is, firstly, what you can't find another one -- another guy among the 3 billion guys in the world that is not his best friend. if you can't -- if he's the love of your life, go for it. if this is a whim because you're lonely or in pain or trying to get back at the guy, don't do it. god forbid you're on the receiving end of that one day. >> there aren't that many good guys out there. there are not -- matthew, you are one in a trillion. >> i know that, but that's very different from saying there are no great guys out there. >> cane has a question. is it appropriate to expect a date to pay for most or all of the nights out or at what point
3:27 am
in the date process should i begin reaching for the check to share some of the responsibilities. >> it is not about finances. it is about getting lucky. if a man asks you out and you go to dinner and you like him and you think later down the road at some point you're going to go to bed with him, he pays. if he asks you out, you go to dinner and you don't like him and you know never, ever, ever are you going to get in bed with this guy, you offer to pay and then he pays. >> like being a hooker? >> but the point is, that was about the -- that's not about the first date. that's about you're a few dates in, what do you do? do you keep letting him pay? i don't like to let a lady pay, no. but here's the point. a lady shouldn't expect it. i think a man should pay but a lady shouldn't expect it. >> a lady can pay by inviting him to her apartment for dinner. not for that.
3:28 am
you pervert, no. just to make dinner for him. every man loves that. >> i think it is tough for women in the position that they're in today to want equality in every other area, and then in a relationship say, but i don't want to contribute in that area. i think that sends out a confused message. i think for women -- especially since you guys have more money than us now. so for most women in that position, once they get into the relationship, if they want to be there, then they should be contributing. by the way, it is a guy's prerogative, if he wants to insist he pays for everything, she has the choice to let him. i think the expectation is what ruins relationships. >> i think it changes the dynamic of the relationship. >> if you don't like a guy, don't pick up the check. >> okay. >> if you don't like the guy, don't pick up the check. how to get the layered look for fall without adding bulk. it is very important. you disgust me.
