    Should The Wizard of Oz be remade?

    When I first heard that New Line Cinema was in the process of doing a Wizard of Oz remake, like many people, my initial reaction was “No.” Why are we doing this? In my mind, The Wizard of Oz is a classic and does not need to be remade. I have been watching the 1939 version for literally as long as I can remember.  However, as I thought about it more, my opinion started to evolve to think that maybe it’s not the worst idea in the world.  In this episode we’ll talk about the history of the Wizard of Oz, its numerous remakes and adaptations (because this one was not the first and most definitely will not be the last), and the lasting legacy of the 1939 version of the classic.

    Billie Holiday: The Lady That Sang The Blues

    This is the first episode in a series of videos I'm making around Hulu movie "The United States Vs. Billie Holiday." This episode focuses on Billie's life, her rise to fame and how her life intersected with Old Hollywood. This episode also tries to fill in some of the holes that are in her autobiography "Lady Sings The Blues."

    Becoming Lucy? Should Nicole Kidman play Lucille Ball?

    In this episode, we’ll discuss Lucy’s early career, the “I Love Lucy” show, and actresses that may have, well probably, have been a better choice to play the legend.  The Aaron Sorkin project about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, their marriage and their iconic 1950s television show “I Love Lucy” has actually been in the works for a while and was originally supposed to star Cate Blanchette. Cate is no longer associated with the project for unknown reasons. However, Nicole Kidman is now in negotiations to play the comedienne and Javier Bardem is slated to play Desi Arnaz.
