    “Loqueesha” with Damona Hoffman

    “Loqueesha” is about a white man who pretends to be a black woman to land a radio advice show job. Lots of people attacked “Loqueesha” when its trailer came out. Some defended it. And Amazon Prime decided to put it on its streaming platform next to “Fleabag” and “Patriot.” It’s a mystery that even Bosch couldn’t solve (slowly). I asked Damona Hoffman, a real African American woman who dispenses wisdom on her popular podcast, “Dates & Mates” to help dismantle this movie.

    Gotti gets whacked!

    Adam Felber (Nobody Listens to Paula), Susie Felber and I review John Travolta’s bomb, “Gotti” film. Here’s a great article from Deadline about Gotti’s fate as a movie: John Travolta Cries Foul Over “Fake News” Reports On Mafia  Movie ‘Gotti’ EXCLUSIVE: John Travolta told Deadline he is upset that fast-spreading news reports twisted the truth as Lionsgate pulled his upcoming film Gotti off its release calendar 10 days before its bow. He worried the reports marginalized what he considers one of his better performances as the iconic Gambino crime family head John Gotti in the Kevin Connolly-directed film. Given how the subject matter lends itself to phrases from mob movies, it’s easy to see how the blogosphere might speculate this film would, well, sleep with the fishes. The truth is far different, Travolta said. (READ FULL) Related Why John Travolta ‘Gotti’ Pic Shifted Away From Lionsgate Premiere Ten Days Before Its Release

    “Mr. Saturday Night” w/ @AdamFelber

    Billy Crystal, co-wrote, directed, starred and conducted his own Oscar campaign for this movie “Mr. Saturday Night.” It’s about a comedian who steals everyone’s Jackie’s jokes and ends up wearing really bad make up that’s supposed to make you look old. Adam Felber (Wait… Wait… Don’t Tell Me and an alleged podcast with Paula Poundstone) and I dig deep into our love for Billy Crystal and why this film didn’t work for us. Click here to see Felber’s shirt selections Hear more reviews from Felber Hear Nicko and I review “Parental Guidance” Below are photos from “Mr. Saturday Night.” Given his success in the early days of television, you’d  think that Buddy Young Jr. (Billy Crystal) would be coasting happily into retirement alongside his wife, Elaine (Julie Warner). Instead, Buddy is an acerbic blowhard who alienates his brother, Stan (David Paymer), and everyone else who fails to bow to his bullying. His agent, Annie Wells (Helen Hunt), has positioned elderly Buddy for a big movie role, but his irreverence might come back to bite him one last time. Nominations: Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role Jump to Awards · Paymer was nominated in 1992 for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. At the Golden Globe Awards, Paymer was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture and Crystal was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Box office: $13.3 million Release date: September 23, 1992 Budget: $43 million Starring: Billy Crystal; David Paymer; Julie Warner; a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hunt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://en.m.wikipedia.

    One Minute of Rocky at a Time

    Usually, we review an entire movie. But recently I got to be a guest on “Rocky Minute” The daily podcast in which hosts Doug Greenberg and Jason Hanes knockout the Rocky films one minute at a time. Apparently, Dueling Genre is a whole network of shows that are just people analyzing a movie 60 seconds at a clip. Thanks to past guest and FOH (friend of the host), Paul Sullivan, I got to be on three days in a row. I had a good time. All three episodes are a fun listen. Here are one or two episodes that I was on. Not sure how many I’ll post. But please check them out and take a listen. Here’s a review of “Rocky IV” I did on this show with Adam Felber and Rico Gagliano.

    Before "LA LA Land" there was "Hollywood Musical!"

    Before “LA LA Land” didn’t win the Oscar, there was another musical about making it in Hollywood that didn’t deserve any awards. “Hollywood Musical!” came out two, maybe ten years before “LA LA” landed in theaters. Today is a rare solo show. Ok, the only one. It’s my one time doing it alone. So listen on 1.5 speed. Or even 2X. It will sound fine. This is also a rare show where I shit on a movie. It’s a dull, out of focus movie with a couple of sharp performances from Dee Ann Newkirk and Angela Pupello. After thoughts: This was recorded way before “La La Land” came out.  But I put it on hold b/c I thought it was too mean and didn’t like that it was just me. So I’m putting it out now with little or no fanfare and just a core people listening to the show. I have another episode I was afraid to post. I might do that next. Plus, remastering old episodes that are no longer on itunes and/or need help with audio (AKA – sounded like shit) Thanks to everyone who stayed with the show and thanks for your support. Here are real Amazon reviews of “Hollywood Musical!” Top customer reviews 2.0 out of 5 stars Lame production of as potentially great story. ByTomon March 14, 2017 I have never watched a movie this “lame” – well, not since about 1970. Actually, there were some good parts. Some of it was very funny – especially the first few minutes. And there was some good acting. It was a great story, but the directing, the production – technically good – but the story – it’s a great story, but it’s the script I think – the good story never came across in as a dramatic way as it could have. The lamest part? The songs they sang at these weird moments – and the songs were lame. They sounded like Broadway singers – in a movie! And the lyrics and the songs – they really slowed things down. The songs did not make sense. I skipped over most of the songs. I feel bad because the story had potential. It just didn’t get told. 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, Sometimes A Little Slow ByC. Bellon January 5, 2017 I really enjoyed the story and watching the characters develop. The actors and actresses weren’t the perfect beauty types which made the story even more real to me. One of my favorite songs is in the middle of the movie Something Has To Give, it brings in all the main characters. I also liked that the ending was about hope, which was discussed before. Not everyone had a perfectly happy ending, and it’s still up in the air if any of them actually will become a star, but they still keep the hope and keep trying. The four stars is because in some parts did get a little bit on a slow side, but overall a pretty good musical. 3.0 out of 5 stars Great telling of this life ByEric R. Hansenon February 21, 2015 I really enjoyed it. Some of the lyrics were a little cheesy. Overall, I think it was very well thought out and put together. A lot of care and love went into this project and the subject matter is really important. So many people are slugging it out to work in the theater and movies etc. If you have any connection to the artistic world, please watch this movie. 1.0 out of 5 starsHard to watch By🙂on September 6, 2015 So not what I was expecting, it seems really low budget. I did not watch the whole thing, I could not get through 20min   1.0 out of 5 stars… first few minutes of it and it never got better didn’twatch the entire movie it was so bad ByTeresaon October 10, 2016 Watched the first few minutes of it and it never got better ...

    The Writer of Michael Keaton’s “Jack Frost” tells all

    Jeff Cesario (Play with Pain Podcast) talks about writing a  Michael Keaton movie, “Jack Frost”  where he turns into a snowman. And Movie Man, Brett Berg, breaks down the movie. Before Keaton  was “Birdman” he was “Jack Frost.” We talk to one of the writers of the film and review the movie! My friends a frequent guests Paul Sullivan and Jeff Cesario talk about about Jack Frost. We were recording an episode about “The fish that saved Pittsburgh and Jeff drops the bomb that he co-­wrote “jack Frost!!!” what the what!??! Jeff, by the way, wrote for the Larry Sanders show and was the comic that was always bumped from the show. So Jeff gives context and behind the scenes stories. But first! Brett Berg, who used to program films for the legendary Cinefamily theater and is now a hot shot at Alamo Drafthouse Theaters in LA, talks about his take on Jack frost. We were at a party he threw where he showed a 45 minute version of Jack Frost. He said he felt like the showing the whole film would pissed people off, so he just showed the good parts. He also did an edit of “Silent night deadly night 5: the toy maker” with Micky Rooney. We didn’t get a chance to talk about it. As you can hear, there was a party going on outside, so it was hard to do a longer interview. We have a sponsor, Tee Public. It’s great quality cool t­-shirts. Go to Proudlyresents.com/shirts for star wars life day, breaking bad, the room an dother themed christmas shirts. Also a great place to get gifts. They are running a sale right now. So their normal decent price is now low. I love their shirts and I was able to curate the ones I think you’ll dig too. I hope you liked the show. Go to Proudlyresents.com/fish to hear the full interview with Paul and Jeff. Besides tearing about “The Fish that saved Pittsburgh they talk a lot about writing for comics like Dennis miller and Garry Shandling. Jeff came on this show a few times playing his very funny character, chet the sports guy. I’ll have links to those episodes and the many funny reviews Paul has done on our show.
