Bonus: The Ernest P. Worrell Preservation Society: Episode 1 - Ernest & the Family Reunion Welcome to the beginning of the brand new Ernest podcast. Make sure to subscribe to the new podcast feed to hear all upcoming episodes. Our first Unmade Ernest film is Ernest & the Family Reunion. Ernest is desperate to get to the next gathering of the Worrells and won't let anything get in his way. You have to hear it to believe it. Hey Vern! Years ago our three hosts began a journey together as they watched all the Ernest films in chronological order for a podcast. As that quest neared its end, our heroes were entrusted with the Holy Grail of all things Ernest; the binders of Unmade Ernest Movie Ideas from the creators and writers of the Ernest film franchise. Having been blessed with this sacred text, they decided to share the treasures within with the world. They formed the Ernest P Worrell Preservation Society and will gather regularly to discuss these films that never were. They are the Denizens of Denim. The Excavators of Ernest. They are the Ernest P Worrell Preservation Society. Twitter & Facebook: @seeingernest Patreon: www.patreon.com/seeingernest Merch: www.storefrontier.com/seeingernest Email: seeingernest@gmail.com
