Following the premier of Mayberry Man on September 4, 2021, I was able to stay around the town of Danville, IN and watch the movie a second time with the crew & volunteers. Just after that showing, I was invited to be on the “Mayberry Man Podcast” hosted by Anderson Howell.
Anderson is the son of Cort Howell and grandson of Dud Wash himself, Hoke Howell. They gave me permission to use my interview here on Two Chairs. I want to encourage you to go to https://YouTube.com/mayberryman to see this interview as well as others as Anderson will be talking to folks and getting their thoughts about Mayberry Man.
If I haven’t bored you with all my discussion of the “new” Mayberry movies, stick around to the end of the episode and you can see “Floyd” arrive on the red carpet.

What a week we just wrapped up. On Tuesday August 31, 2021 The Mayberry Effect film was released on streaming services for purchase. Then on Saturday September 4, 2021 the Mayberry Man movie began it’s release with a VIP Red Carpet showing for backers of the film.
We’ve been hoping to have ways to reach folks and let them know there are things still happening in the world of The Andy Griffith Show and these films go a long way toward bringing new fans into our community. It’s BIG!
I saw both films and I can say I thinks both are wonderful. They both complement one another and I encourage you to see them if you have an opportunity.

In this season five, “The Andy Griffith Show” episode entitled, ‘Three Wishes for Opie,’ which originally aired December 21, 1964, Barney summons Count Ist Van Telecky!
The Mayberry Man movie is just about to be released and it’s kind of amazing to me how many fans of The Andy Griffith Show still believe the movie is some type of remake of the series. As the title of this episode states, it is not a remake. This past weekend I spent a good deal of time on different social media sites talking with fans and trying to help them understand that the movie was made for Mayberry fans by Mayberry fans.
There’s no big “Hollywood” studio behind the movie precisely to avoid the filmmaker being told what could or could not be in the movie. Mayberry Man does its best to capture the spirit of what made The Andy Griffith Show so special. It doesn’t try to be a remake but rather tries to bring that feeling back to the viewer by telling a new story with roots in Mayberry. I hope fans will give it a chance.
We’ll also hear a poem from Ronnie Felker called “Floyd’s Barbershop” that I think you’ll enjoy. Ronnie is a Barney Fife tribute artist out of South Carolina.

Wouldn’t it be great to spend a week in Mayberry? What if you weren’t a fan of The Andy Griffith Show? Would you still enjoy spending a week in Mayberry then? Well, the Mayberry Man movie is about just such a person, a non-Andy fan who is made to spend a week at a Mayberry event and forced to deal with all the tribute artist as they bring Mayberry to life.
This episode will give you an update on what’s going on with the movie and when you might be able to see it. Not only that, but we have the official trailer (so you may want to watch the video version of this episode of Two Chairs).
We’re also playing a little Mayberry trivia that I believe will be fun and you’ll have a good time.

Here we are at our 600th episode of Two Chairs No Waiting. This BIG event is happening right after a month of filming the Mayberry Man movie & Mayberry Days 2020 and just days before the October 3rd celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the premier of The Andy Griffith Show! What a wonderful time to be a fan of Mayberry!
This episode we celebrate the podcast just a little then move on to reporting a bit about the Mayberry Man movie filming experience (more to come latter on that) then we have a report from Lydia…err…Ol’ Barney…about this years Mayberry Days experience.
I have had a wonderful several weeks as a fan of The Andy Griffith Show and you’ll be hearing more about it as time goes on.
As a bonus, we have an original parody song for you to enjoy at the end of the episode instead of our usual “This Week in Mayberry History” report. I thought it was fitting to give Randy Turner time off for the entire month of September so he’ll be well rested heading into the end of the year.

Cort Howell is the son of Hoke Howell who played Dud Wash. Dud was Charlene’s husband who had been trained in gorilla warfare in the Army from which he was honorably discharged as a Private First Class. When Dud returned to Mayberry he still had all of Charlene’s letters, her hair ribbon, and the remainders of a mountain gladiola she’d given him proving he was “the sweetest boy whatever grow’d.”
Cort is one of the producers of the upcoming Mayberry Man movie. He’s working along side his brother Stark who wrote the Mayberry Man script and will be directing and Greg Schell, the son of Ronnie Schell, to bring the movie to the fans.
We hear about growing up around show business, how he came to watch/listen to Two Chairs No Waiting, updates on the movie, and about a behind the scenes report that I think you’ll enjoy.
Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Rodney Dillard.”
