Podcast Like It's ...

It's the Summer. The weather is warm and it's time to ... stay inside and listen to a podcast within the safety of your own home. But don't worry we have you covered cause this week we talk about a hot "Summer" movie. What captures the spirit of the summer better than ... a famous serial killer? This week we talk about Spike Lee's Summer of Sam, starring John Leguizamo and Adrien Brody with very special guest author and movie podcast host extraordinaire Karina Longworth. We talk about John Leguizamo's interesting path through movie stardom, the movie's approach to history and journalism and Spike Lee's career. Hosted on Acast.

Snip Snip. This week on Felicity Fridays we have Carina MacKenzie (Creator/Showrunner- Roswell, NM) on the podcast to talk about that dreaded haircut. That's right this week we are talking about THE LIST, episode 2 of season 2 of FELICITY, where Felicity's iconic hair gets chopped down and changes the history of the show. Carina and Phil go deep and get all the details on what led to this, how it changed their feelings on Felicity and talk about the rest of the episode. Hosted on Acast.

WE'RE BACK! We were gone for a while so we have decided to return to the realm of regular podcasting with a big one. Screenwriter extraordinaire Liz Hannah (The Post, Long Shot, Mindhunter) joins us to talk about Michael Mann's extraordinary whistleblower drama THE INSIDER. There is so much to dig in with this one from Pacino bringing the Heat(get it), Russel Crowe's status a movie star, its seven Academy Awards nominations, and an absolutely cracking screenplay based on true events which we were more than excited to get to talk to Liz about. It was such a blast having Kenny back and Liz as a guest so we went long on this one cause there are no corporate lackeys to edit us. We hope you enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

This week we break up with Season 1 of FELICITY as we welcome TVLine Founder and President Michael Ausiello to talk about FELICITY WAS HERE, the season 1 finale of FELICITY.   We talk about ending a first season and the struggles in maintaining relationship drama through seasons, Keri Russell's performance as Felicity is as torn between Ben and Noel as she has ever been and how we would respond to a surprise invite to Berlin.    PLUS: We got to interview AMY JO JOHNSON (who plays Julie on the show). We talked about what it was like to star on such a beloved show as FELICITY, what it was like working with Keri Russell, Scott Speedman, JJ Abrams and the rest of the cast and finally what it was like to play Julie, whose relationship with Ben goes south in this episode.     As we mentioned last week, please consider donating to ActBlue here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn?refcode=tweet to help address issues of racial injustice and police brutality in America.    Hosted on Acast.
