The Donna Summer musical let's meet with 2 of the actors and cast members a real life husband and wife to play a number of characters that are essential to the life and career of iconic singer songwriter and disco diva Donna Summer summer the Donna Summer musical runs through December 29th at the Golden Gate Theater here in San Francisco John Gardner has been seen on Broadway in Jersey Boys and a Bronx Tale has toured with those 2 as well as with The Lion King as the iconic role of team on lots of regional credits as well he shares the stage with his wife Kylie Ray who sang in the Clint Eastwood directed movie version of Jersey Boys she's also been seen in the Broadway production like her husband John she's been in national tours of that show as well as a Bronx Tale Rock of Ages Flashdance Mama Mia grease and fame lots of regional credits for her as well welcome Kylie welcome John thanks thanks for having us happy to have you well 1st of all we've got to talk about this lots of parallels on your resumes did you guys meet one of these shows we did we met in Jersey Boys that national tour of it in 2011 that's right and we've been lucky enough to gosh this is our 4th show in a row together so if Yeah so thanking the theater God what stage of the. Of the tour did that happen saying let's get a coffee together actually pretty late into the tour we were almost wrapped up I would say are true romance started right here in San Francisco that's right and we closed Jersey Boys here at the 1st national tour in 2013. Right here in San Fran and so we have a lot of very fond memories of the city. Nice So you're sharing some time at a city you know Well that's right only this time we are back with our little almost 2 year old in tow Oh my gosh yes be on train and yet or you know it will be your time and will go away and God help him it's great he's a little less. Aready Yeah. Well let's talk about the touring productions Donna Summer actually did a road production of Hair she started in Germany in Germany seventy's yeah played the part of she and her parents weren't too crazy about that idea is that yes she had some some very you know I don't to say overbearing very protective parents you know she was large family churchgoing and they had some reservations about her getting into the arts and traveling abroad but obviously you know she stuck with her heart and it worked out pretty well. Now the general public might think of this iconic diva born La Donna Adrian Gaines as just the voice of disco and with good reason 42 hit singles on the u.s. Billboard Hot 100 in her lifetime 14 of those reaching the top 10 and she actually claimed a top 40 hit every year between 75 in 1004 that that's the one that really that's the one that really blows me away is just the can the consistency on the charts Well let's remind some folks of some of those tunes McArthur Park she works hard for the money hot stuff last dance but we just heard love the love you baby. And I think you need to join us on stage I think I'd like and I Feel Love which is huge now with Sam Smith remakes of oh right yeah that's like all over the place again it's really interesting how things come full circle and how you know her songs as well as the role Kylie plays which is Giorgio Moroder he's having this huge resurgence with the d.j. Community and it's wild to watch you know as the pendulum swings back to you know disco and like you said. Yeah you know it's definitely finding its way back into our culture I would say through even through fashion through music just kind of it's all over the place now so it's just such an. It's a fun era of extravagance and all things glitter and glamour and we're feeling very topical with our show right now so well what was your a lot of people don't realize that she wrote a lot of these tunes to you yeah her and Giorgio collaborated on I would say most of her material and yeah she she penned most of it herself and yeah it was a real trailblazer for for the genre and she was sort of a songwriter 1st and a musician and it was actually my character Neil Bogart who was the one who was like putting all the glitz and glam and things like got that we always joke around that is husband and wife she's playing a character Giorgio Moroder who formed the music of Donna Summer I formed image so it's a 12 punch for us what was your 1st hook and this diva for either of you. You mean like what Drew drew us to Donna Summer Yeah I mean it's interesting because you know of course you know hot stuff and last dance but it's only weekend getting involved in the show where you know you're hearing it every night that to hear the very interesting musicality of like MacArthur's Park where you're like wow this is some intricate stuff yeah I mean some of the music is just so exciting to listen to and you can't not have a great time and sell I mean yeah good luck trying to stay in your seat at the end it's just it's too much fun yes it's one of my favorite things is to look out you know when you're 1st starting the show because Kylie and I have our 1st lines together we're kind of sharing this phone call and you can see the 1st few rows and they're always you know those people that arrive there and maybe they're having a bad day or whatever and to watch them at the end be like standing and literally laughing and kind of dancing you're like well that's it's a testament to Donna Summer and that let's just feed you as an actor as well honey I'm sad a lot of times hard to see the audience of course but when you see those 1st you know is that really appeals you know for sure yeah you know we also need to understand a little bit more about Donna Summer in that she was quite a remarkable and groundbreaking feminist when it came to the industry. Yeah absolutely I think like you said she she did some real groundbreaking work across the board she fought you know sexism she fought the record companies I mean she she was a woman she was a force you know she was somebody that you just you don't mess with in it's interesting because as sort of and Amash to that or you know the concept of the show does Mack enough came up with this idea in forming our musical that he would cast primarily women even to play male roles in the show of hands what about hence why he's playing Giorgio So there's you know there are 17 women in the show so it's very very female driven I think there's 5 men 17 women and how hard for you John it's tough to talk to somebody. But all these women pretty much all their features their their roles in the show they least have a feature to as a male character and as a woman you know really never given that opportunity as as actors so it's really challenging and so much fun to kind of sink your teeth into that and and nobody did that I think you know does was sort of the 1st person to really put that on the scene so our director does make you know. So let's talk a little bit about the cross gender casting in the show Kylie you do mention that you played Giorgio tell about him so Giorgio Moroder he's German Italian man who he basically was you know kind of Don that. The father of disco so this was sort of his his baby his sound this was this was his world and he created this whole sound of electric music electronic music and he and Donna just they worked together for years and years and. He created I think his music land plants studio in Munich Germany which sort. It became a subdivision of Casablanca Records which Neil Bogart was the head of musical and is now seen as like Mecca where any anybody recording electronic music they'll try to at least record one album Good music land in Germany yeah and the you know young artist that he's collaborating with now the Daft Punk he was you know doing clubs with Katy Perry and want to tell Ray and all these very you know topical. That you know he's not giving it up so he's he's still in the game and he's he's awesome. And John you play another integral character in this yarn Neil Bogart tell us about him. Neal Bogart grew up very modest means in Brooklyn and after kind of having a failed performing career to start off with he became like the world's greatest promoter I mean I was sort of the 1st one to. You know do music promotion where you know more is more so put the lavish parties with like camels and performers and there's this great quote when we're doing the dramaturgy where they said Neil would spend 3 dollars to make 2 and somehow because of just the right place right time in the seventy's that worked and he built Casablanca Records out of nothing and he's the one who in the who 1st saw Donna's talent and yeah I mean he definitely didn't just discover Donna Summer like the Village People kiss. Harry cheap in like these crazy like different artists you just kind of had an eye for I'm going to take that and then you know make it explode worldwide. And getting back to Diana as is so important for the industry you know as her star rose her finances didn't and she just fought tooth and nail and she became one of the 1st woman to match her income to comparable men she works hard for the money. I don't know if you guys meant to set that up so that was what I had a cued up. So this tour has multiple dot as at various stages of her career how does that work. Well they do it's another kind of little ingenious. Concept idea where the break up Donna Summer to 3 separate actresses so they have one that plays you know the youthful Donna one that plays what we call disco Donna and then diva Donna who sort of also narrates the play and so it's it's a way that you know we can all recognize that in our lives where you look back at your childhood you're like wow I feel like that was a different person so they just made it a different person and I think it works seamlessly in you know seeing the progression of this icon. So this production runs through the 29th of December are you also part of the rest of the tour Absolutely yeah we're headed for the long haul we're off to Seattle Seattle for New Years and then we temp be down your overcoat of course you had your overcoat and he had back umbrella. So what's your dream production and. Traveling as husband and wife. God. Well I mean I know. You want to go 1st with your well I think we've done so many of them you know I think every every show we do together we learn something new and this one is so exciting for me I get to play and Italian man now I mean I that's not. You know it's I have an opportunity right now to like I said sink my teeth into something I've never done before and some kind of just into living in the present and and taking what I can from this opportunity and making the most of it and I'm going to be here with my family and I mean to me that's that's winning Yeah and there's lots of like fun. Roles that you know I thought about whether it's you know the leads and say something like we trysts were like you know people there are a couple on stage or where they're kind of like antagonists I'd like to see you guys in My Fair Lady. And the other one was the guy. Thank you. And John Gardner are part of the amazing cast that's part of Donna Summer summer of the Donna Summer musical It's at the Golden Gate Theater here in San Francisco through the 29th of December and they have generously offered not them personally but the company at s h n s f 5 pairs of tickets for next Tuesday's performance the 10th That's at 730 and we're offering them to folks that call 4158414134158414134 some or the Donna Summer musical at the Golden Gate theater next Tuesday night 730 . Have a wonderful run and. Thank you so much I. Was Well I'd mention this was a show of icons the 2nd icon Ebenezer Scrooge conjure up iconic performers of that role like Alastair Sim George c. Scott Bill Murray who also has a connection to the days later guests Groundhog Day Scrooge McDuck perhaps is your favorite Kelsey Grammer Jim Carrey any of others of dozens over the years on film t.v. And radio who's your favorite but thinking of that character do you think of Scrooge and well not necessarily but that's the premise of The Perfect Holiday musical at 42nd Street Mon running through the 22nd last time you had a chance to see this locally was in 2016 and 15 but now you'll see that actor Jason Gray reprise his iconic performance as the Scrooge you'd like to get to know and love. He joins me in studio once again to talk about his performance as a very different Scrooge Jason of late has been appearing as the wizard in the national tour of Wicked which he's been doing for the last 17 months is that possible or advisable. It's highly advisable and long as you're having fun with it yeah that sounds like a great show to have fun with. And it has been allowed by the New York Times for his manic mischief and was deemed a. Frisky clown with a real tenor. And that's off stage yeah the 1st as I hope you may have seen him on Broadway in a grand night for singing falsettos Stardust Snoopy as Snoopy and do patent leather shoes really reflect Up Off Broadway credits and regional credits abound t.v. Appearances include Friends Frasier 6 Feet Under and others and he was in Moon's little me in which he played the 7 roles created by Sid Caesar he's been heard on many cartoons and for 5 and a half years he was the voice of lucky the leprechaun for a lucky charm cereal a balanced part of your breakfast it's magic lead to Lucius nice I hope that's being some residuals for it or not. It was a buyout really well as long as I was the leprechaun I was getting residuals but now there's a new leprechaun town so now I eat only Cheerios it was wise best to switch out I'm not better. You could play that oh. Oh you're a big seed a little over Cheerio anyone listening. Screwed you love is the wildly successful conceit of a musical with music by Larry Grossman lyrics by Helen Blair in a book by Duane Poole the 42nd production is directed by Diane McBride who also joins me in studio and who also directed the 2 in 2015 and 1642nd Street woman productions Diane is the education director at Moon school the educational arm of 42nd Street bone in addition to directing She teaches private voice lessons along with Moon's resident music director Dave Dombrowski who is music director for Scrooge and love and also music director for Groundhog Day I believe that's interesting very busy because I got my bio is a little different than that because Dave is actually over at my own Hog Day and Kenbrell as army is all right. I missed my Mr spoke there but I know he's done work at both both camps. School is now in its 2nd year I understand when school is now in is 11th year and I'm no longer getting my information. From you know 2011. No one schools now with and Norland as our new education director Ok so you know I do have you mixed up that's Ok keep going there's interest like you'd like to know what if I get this right were you Nurse Ratchet in the recent production when you were all right I got one right I was up in Napa and she's tried the boards in many other regional productions including appearing as Deseret arm felt in one of my favorite musicals so I was a Little Night Music and she's about to play Dolly Levi and hello Dolly where at the mountain play nice that should be a lot of fun I'll play or like Nurse Ratchet it will be really. Hurt so in spite of my miscommunications they're welcome to take me to correct you I'm sorry I just want people to get their you know their their props so let's talk about which side of the board you prefer Do you like showing people around and what to do or being on stage in the spotlight itself I really like to go back and forth if I if I direct you know 2 shows in a row I find it very necessary to go and do a show I like to stay connected both ways I think it makes you a better director when you act at least it does for me I understand the process of people and their strengths and their fears and. It's also a lot of responsibilities direct a lot of things in a row and since I only make my living in the arts when you direct I just directed 3 things in a row I think I did 95 and then I played I stretch it and then I did trailer park and then I did. And I also have a review with my students of Cole Porter and I need to take a nap. Before you go you know top. To the president of the Cole Porter society who is in the next studio doing a segment before we go Griffin you're going to go with his back to us they're saying. We love called Border Yeah you know I think they have different different things I like when I'm acting that somebody else gets to make decisions. But sometimes when I'm acting I want to make those decisions and I just have to stay in my lane so it depends on if you have a really strong director then it's very easy to act and directing has its own special thing it's really interesting to the psychology of a large group I always find really fascinating and I love the design process and. Directing is just there's not a lot of people who direct musical theater you have to have a pretty specific skill set and so I feel always really lucky to be able to do this for a living and I get to spend time with human person to my left. Other than other than this this holdover from 201-5161 your left anyone else in the cast similar from the other productions Yes Jason will spring Horn who is right I will these great ghost of Christmas present I just ask don't tell him that. He's tall but he's worth the climb but I think. I think it's about visions at the same audition that. Boys think wow he's amazing he's amazing and Brittany Monroe who's plays Martha Cratchit. And Michael Grasso who was Tinie Tempah now he's gotten taller so he's had to relinquish the crown the crutch of time he turned over to our new tiny town but Michael still in the show and a lot of men schoolers who've been with us before but and and we took some people from I directed this actually in Napa last year so we took some Napa people with us . And. But I think people are fitting in pretty well you know Jason's not to mean to them try to vary it's a different screw Let's talk about the different Scrooge we so often think of these iconic characters in their negative incarnations the Grinch Scrooge but thanks to the authors of the original We should be thinking otherwise shouldn't we it's I mean are we supposed to think of the reform the Ebeneezer although no one's really named their kid I've been easier. So Jason people will be coming in I think with a very different idea of who Scrooge is do you combat or cater to that image Well I try to honor Charles Dickens original vision but it is the transformed Scrooge this is happening a year after a Christmas carol took place so Scrooge has become a kinder gentler beast. He's still got you know he's still got a lot of fire and I'm not like all of a sudden he just turned into something new but. He's happier he's more content he's found the spirit of giving and he's opened now to being generous to the world around him and so it's fun it's fun to have this old guy that we know but in a new light. And we are seeing characters as well we mentioned the ghost of Christmas Present how were these characters changed and you mentioned tiny times in it too so how how are these characters updated a year later. All the characters the ghosts come back and Marley is the 1st person that comes back with our skies that comes back and he says to Scrooge you have done very well this year Scrooge but there's something missing in your life so here's the premise of the story right the premise takes him back to the party that they've just had at Fred's house his nephew Ted's all day and by the way who's back with us I just played Fred another oral version of Christmas. So they have they have a party and Marley stops the party and he says there he goes What sort of line your dance part because I had because you're going through all this the moans and clanking the lightning bolt because I had no dance partner right and so with a British accent. And so Marlee tells them you have you have everything but you're missing this thing and so all the ghosts come back and they passed takes him and shows him the fez he would party in shows in the moment with Bell and then present shows and the times that they're living in now and then the ghost of Christmas future shows him the end of Act one which I cannot give away but it's. Funny and and so that's the premises that Scrooge needs to make things right with Belle and it's heartbreaking and beautiful and there are some moments in the show especially the moments that we have 2 actors playing Scrooge Jason plays present Scrooge and we have another actor who plays young Scrooge and they have a duet with each other which will knock yourself out and she saw the promise as a little similar to the Donna Summer musical you know but where it only takes 2 of us to present the character of Scrooge they needed 3 we didn't have baby Scrooge and are in our But we have to. Start. The 3rd part. And tell us about your belle. Belle Jenny Yes it's her name and she had done it with Diane at the Lucky Penny last year and she's been chanting She's so easy to fall in love with and this is the 1st time that we've worked together but. It's a really just plays of l. So she'll play her young self and then she plays older Belle in the play and I think it's an interesting conceit that they have. That they came up with my range wasn't big enough to play young and old bird so they needed 2 characters from. Bell can do it all. Scrooge in love with Justin Gray Oh and by the way by the way Jason it's pronounced Graw most people say great because there are so many Vols let's just be honest. Like to buy a consonant but my. Family sell off the consonants and he worked something that was just a it's a Danish thing so my father came over from Denmark in the forty's when the Nazis invaded Copenhagen so anyway so that's why I have all those vowels but it has been a. Company. Copenhagen I don't know what you know really it's pronounced Copenhagen but we all say Copenhagen Well you know you know the top I think Brussels. Scrooge and love runs through December 22nd at the Gateway theater that's at 215 Jackson Street and San Francisco you can take part in a discussion Sunday get all your burning questions answered about the show you've just seen it's a fun and informative post performance discussion with the audience cast and crew that's hosted by Executive Directors Darren Carlo and Daniel Thomas who will share the history of the original production as well as the current incarnation those discussion Sundays are this Sunday at the 8 and next Sunday the 15th that's the 3 pm matinee it sounds like a wonderful show in fact we're going to offer some tickets as we listen to a little mix from a Scrooge and love Jason. Thanks so much for coming in thank you for having us Dave give us a call at 415-841-4134 extension 47 complimentary tickets I believe we can offer 5 pair through December 22nd at the Gateway Theater here in San Francisco a great holiday treat for you 415-841-4134 extension 4 Scrooge and love at the Gateway theater. No Reg day the only say you're welcome to stay for the way. He says no that's. Right everyone still. It's Christmas so. Take a little given to them at least. Have a little fun. Have. The guts to leave the frenzy and it may have had a point to many notes instances he's outside of the right if this was just too much to fix it was not a white suit for me to say. Oh no. We don't look she could tell. The time was cigarettes. Because we. See. How little was. Was. I do appreciate your efforts but no. Isas easy. Since. That is not only is it. Was a. Touch of Scrooge in love from the original production Jason Gras now playing the older Ebeneezer Scrooge at the Gateway theatre part of 42nd Street moans holiday offering tickets have been taken so hang up your phone I'm afraid we might have a chance to offer some other things as the day goes by well more to come with Peter Robinson hold be talking with. Noah Griffin we mentioned as a show of icons our 3rd icon is sort of rodentia little in nature. And it owes its incarnation to the iconic Bill Murray who portrayed the lead character of weatherman Phil Connors in the 1993 Harold Ray Mr Record film Groundhog Day. The theatrical adaptation has of the film has a score by to mention who also authored Matilda the musical and the San Francisco per playhouse production is directed by co-founder of the playhouse as well as a frequent on stage actor Susie domino who's been my guest here on open air several times this production marks the Bay Area. The premiere of Groundhog Day the musical You may recall from the film that the comedic plot revolves around the cynical big city weatherman Phil Connors who reluctantly reports on the small town of Groundhog Day ceremony and Punxsutawney Pennsylvania until he finds himself reliving the same day over and over again in this theatrical production the Bill Murray role is brilliantly taken over by longtime Bay Area actor Ryan Drummond who was to be in studio today but I'm afraid he is protecting his voice and needs to keep his chops up for the show so Ryan was being joined instead by cast mate right about apostolic who plays Rita Hanson in the production She was recently seen in the playhouse production of King of the yes' as well as in productions at Magic theatre California shakes capital stage Seattle rep Berkeley Rep AC t. Among others she's also been and many commercials an independent films run a bath welcome nice to be back Sure yeah and let's talk a little bit about Ryan's character and we'll talk about yours. The difficulty must for Ryan must be making this character likeable. Because he's kind of a dick I think that that kind of is. The recurring theme we've had several people say this ties into the Scrooge character that he is. Partially. Scrooge in this and this sad retelling of the Christmas carol Yeah it's a and he goes through this Dickensian transfer of a show that's very appropriate for the holiday season yet it's the cells that that take that age old tale. Very clever use of props there's a miniaturized versions of vehicles that are pushed around so many props it's. Going to out. And the choreography is just over the top yes who's who the choreographer Nicole hoped for is actually our choreographer and she you know it's always different to when you are putting something on stage for the 1st time regionally because not a lot of people were familiar with the show which gives us a lot of free rein but Nicole I think was able to really pinpoint the important aspects and even the repetition. Of the choreography and the storytelling I think is just really lovely to watch and our ensemble works their butts off. So let's talk about your character Rita Yes Rita Hanson originally played by Andie MacDowell in the film. She is the producer associate producer. Who is sent to work with Phil on this lovely Groundhog Day and. To let you know. Both his and her surprise they end up falling for each other and I think working with Ryan has been absolutely just a boatload of fun I think once we've finally settled into what day it actually is. You know we've settled into the characters really well and it's been wonderful being able to relive it yeah well speaking of reliving the major premise of the show is the repeating of the day Groundhog Day Yes over and over and yet the authors of the show really cleverly. Nate those overlapping days so the audience really gets some of the details that may have been overlooked in the earlier versions of that same day in the scene right and the actors on stage as well sometimes. I will have to say you know there are theories out there that say this if you actually count how many possible days there would be it would be a span of. 12 years so 12 years is a long time to relive the same day. But it is true you watch the show and you pick up on different things and I think also lyrics Why is a lot of the songs if you have the opportunity to watch the show twice and really listen to the at 10 mentions them separately or x. And they're quite funny I think it's something worth repeating right and we may also need to give of course a shout out to Susie who will ask the director of the show as well as the beautiful scenic design on the turntable set by scenic designer Edward Morris that is true that must be a challenge to get around 00 the turntable at it is a challenge but we've finally found which tracks make it work we know our traffic patterns now but it is quite like being on a treadmill depending on the speed. I will show runs actually through the 18th of January is to get a nice long run here yes we do Groundhog Day the musical it's having its San Francisco debut and it's the premiere here directed by Susie Dum a lot about the past or the key to Henson in the production you can well let's offer some tickets for this is well why not we'll have 3 pairs of tickets for some point during the run between now and the 18th of January give us a call for 15 another opportunity for tickets 415-841-4134 our trusty producer with a smile on his face we'll take your name and phone number 415-841-4134 well let's go with 5 pair of nails lines are lit up and I'm sure Susie will approve of that reader thanks for coming and we wish you a great run and give Ryan gentle hug and a nice cup of warm tea will day I was sure to have modern that some other point thanks so much. Well our 3rd hour of final icon of the day is actually some. And that's I'm pleased to count as a good friend a great cabaret artist president of the Cole Porter society here in San Francisco a griffon I'm also pleased to call him a brother he is Open airs regular contributor and critic at large Peter Robinson's guest for a talk about the cabaret scene in San Francisco as well as his own show in Marin which is an evening of live musical Cabaret at the lark theater and Mark spared to celebrate New Year's Eve and Peter will also preview the San Francisco nutcrackers 75th year of doing it not cracker here in the Bay Area Peter Noah take it away Ok Hey we all. Did we have Ella Fitzgerald in Chicago or did we leave or in Chicago think she's still in Chicago he had a brother to Manhattan. And I happen. Anyhow when I think about cabaret I do think about the kind of Tocchet froom the piano and then as the voice to me it's no Griffin so no grabbing your time thank you so much seedlings pleasure being here and that we're going to talk a little bit about the show which is opening on New Year's Eve a special Lewsey presentation of Joey the real story about what was in the stage of ocean advance a play budging Kelly and then in the movie of course Frank Sinatra I'm so surprised you know he does a good job a dance he start off in Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly but he certainly known as a singer as he pointed out to me earlier that it has shifted the role more of a singer than a dancer really so yes it's a little bit better and actually build 2nd on the billboard at the time well he didn't he said it wasn't bad to be sandwiched between Susan Hayward and Kim Novak. And the place in the city. Still another little happening. So you'll pretty movie presentation which is a cabaret evening correct which songs are you going to be performing well I'm going to be doing where or when and there's a great story about the Godfather's emissary the goes up to the bandstand says Godfather wants to when either one. And then of course will be doing the other song Falling in love with love which is a great 3 quarter tempo what's right. And out out out out one of my favorites Yes Isn't it great it's a wonderful song. And backing music is a quartet so I will have a trio of Caesar currency and I was put together a tree have and we have a quartet of singers by Mark Robinson and as a record you have been your daughter Lily and going to be fine I've worked with Deseret many times before and little because we are focused because for societies to bring the youth and she's really quite talented and Marc Robinson has worked with there's a rate during Frank Sinatra show at the center parking lot or up in Petaluma So it's kind of a nice quartet of singers and when the quartet do the numbers which ones are they going to people will be doing greenery for sure and. Not falling off of love with him and greenery and with a song in my heart which is really something that will impose rules songs on the show was a small hotel thing in Brighton signed him right wrist slipping in rehearsal there's a trumpet tell but it's actually just a small. Friendly So I think. You know now looking back to the actual movie itself. Change the ending if I remember from the original stage for and at the end of the movie they go hand in hand Pal Joey and. What is the name of the ladies as he finally goes off very of an asset the dresser. What did you decide. To keep your stuff pristine. And I think back to you know the year of Rodgers and Hammerstein Lodge's and. Really the golden age of musicals the entertainments of the day yes they were kind of really the kind of took off with your own current but the 2 of them Rodgers and Hart were put together at Columbia University Hart was born in New York in 1905 and sent to Columbia preschool and then went on to Columbia University where he met Richard Rogers and they combined over the next 20 years they did at least 26 musicals together and a lot of people liked him a little bit better than Rodgers and Hammerstein Hammerstein's lyrics to some a little too trickly but I joined both of them but interesting enough with Hammerstein his last big hit was it and if this hit $943.00 which he collaborated with Rodgers after pretty much heart was out of the picture if that wasn't going to be a hit he was going to hang it up and think of all the wonderful music we would have lost out I'd had not they've been able to collaborate until his passing and I think also with this in fact was the last big star performance of Rita Hayworth she would only have one more movie with I think this was Gary Cooper not the $59.00 call they came to call durable which of course was of Weston but this was a louse made major because I think you had another one that was made not I want to live I think that was a big one for her but both. Kim Novak and Rita had neither of them sang so they had their their musical roles dubbed in the movie. And talking about both cabaret and performing. In some Francisco their last year you were legal to get your clothes so yes we do programs there once a. Quarter that are open to the public and oddly enough the exterior of the Golden Gate yacht club is in the movie tells you where it's right on the of Marina Boulevard right down from the St Francis Yacht Club and their wonderful experience in the movie the ferry boat coming in and 157 when they still had. Cars on the ferry boat. The International Settlement which is down close to the Barbary Coast wonderful shots of that and the speckles mansion of course is their riches Daniel stills home that they moved the story to Chicago from Chicago to San Francisco right because the original was in Chicago the original John Harris novel when you'll performing cabaret because company has a wide series of books history and tradition what are the kind of guidelines if you want to be a cabaret perform a what would be your advice Well you have to sing conversationally and the conversational singers came in with Sinatra and Dean Crosby when you had the advent of the microphone you didn't have to have a big operatic kind of voice and you remember that you're telling stories people want to hear stories and the other thing to remember is also you don't necessarily have to engage every single person in their eyes some people don't want to be engaged so you look over their heads and they think you're still looking at them and the other the other trick is somebody might be having a bad day and maybe having nothing to do with you and they're not into it you think oh my God I've got to really sell this sort of person move on to the next person so keep it positive. And also single over the tinkle of ice of Twilight Well the only thing I sang at masons at the Fairmont for 6 months young thing that would bother me if I'm singing a sign and I've got a nice low note at the end that the word of the mixer machine. Or the banging of the dice cups or the espresso machine that can really that's not what I was singularly the cream. Of all tallest in for 10 years and one thing. I learned the hard way I was holding a note of the end and all of a sudden I decide to do something with it he looked at me and he glared at me What did I do wrong I sat down I raised a lot as long as I held that note he could do a beautiful obligato with a trumpet but if I did something like I broke the contract with him so I never forgot that never did it again here you know what was think the improvised lation in the early jazz quartets saw is whose ego is a big star. Well you know they used to have cutting contests and who could outdo the other one but when you're singer if you're really good jazz theory just become another instrument and that some of the things I think the really good jazz players resent when this singer thinks he's the only part or she's a know it work of the ensemble you're not if you think back to a cabaret performance who influenced you or guided you who do you put on your list when I was told when I was coming along to listen to women female performers because if you pick up something they do nobody's ever going to say you're trying to sign like Ella Fitzgerald so I would love it but the people that I love who are male performers I love necking Cole I love Frank Sinatra but Sprint Sinatra did not consider himself a cabaret singer he considered himself a saloon singer which is interesting to contrast but it's good to study people you like but not so closely that you try to imitate them because they're only going to be once and after only going to be one that Cole when I was a kid growing up Johnny Mathis was 10 years ahead of me in school I was close youngest brother Mike and I thought I'll cross I want to sound like Mathis but somebody said you know there's only one Mathis sound like yourself and. Bascule ask you while one said be yourself everybody else is taken. A little to be 2 paths throughout it but I will have totally plug him full no coward is another for us. Particularly no cow didn't lose a very good what you were saying at the beginning that it was as much talking as it was singing and in terms of storyteller. Thing most of his songs definitely had a story running through the lyrics all the way through and frequently a punchline at the end but I think he was. Some ways different to the American torch song. Yes. Also picking your song which has a story that you can relate to my mother used to say put that song away said while I can see you haven't experienced it or you can't relate to it it's like a 22 year old trying to sing my way it just doesn't work you haven't lived enough to be able to put something into that the other thing you have to remember is to keep a little something back I remember seeing song of the sea which in the old days if you're doing square and I thought I'm not really adding enough to the song so I added some things personal to me and I saw I want of tearing up and had to walk off the stage and somebody said that funny and I thought I'll never give that much to a song again I give so much but no more. Yeah I think of one particular note card number where he was on an ocean liner and a mother had come up to him and wanted a valise to help put daughter on the stage and he actually wrote the song Don't put your daughter on the story that was better than. The other 3 so when you're speaking about injecting your own life into the story it kind of ties in with relating emotionally something from the past which you're now going to present in the present that's right but on the other hand cheering up on the stage can be a mixed blessing so to speak your writing you see perform as a give some nice kind of like actors basically are that through this crane Belafonte it was his voice was all that great but he was an actor and saw So part of it is acting and been part of it is knowing how far to go and how far to go you can't give everything else who just. I burned it Peters and I really like but I remembered she had but one particular song and it had one measure every time she sang the song a tear would come down from on high now through the hole it was and it was. How real was it actually but you your audience knows Don't Cry for Me Argentina. But I think with Harry Belafonte in terms of storytelling he really was the master of the Calypso Yes I think about songs like come side to side I'm on my way I won't be back for many of the heart is down my head is turning around a little girl in Kingston and I think there is that connection of bringing a person's nationalism in his cage Jamaica into another culture and letting the experience be a rich learning experience from that point both he and put it I spent a week at my college for the 100 universities inching beginning of the week all the women were totally enamored with by the end of the week and totally flipped it was 40 it was interesting. So let's go back just to wind up with apology. The show is opening on New Year's Eve It's opening and closing the sale.

And Jodie Turner Smith Queen and slim about a black couple's 1st date which takes an unexpected turn when a white police officer pulls them over. To turn city vectored for naturist about vehicle for. Peace area. Down the road Santander and. Queen and Slim is directed by Molino met suka her feature directing debut and the screen writer. He is Lino way to me want to start us on Queen a slim very entertaining this movie in a number of ways thrilling is kind of funny becomes a bit of road trip love these 2 actors 2 characters together but I'm going to poke at for 2nd even though I like the there's basically 2 movies going on here one of them is this relationship movie we see this them going on this day they end up on this road trip after this thing happens and we see this relationship bill they go to a lot of interesting places and meet interesting people who do enter a love that movie but the movie about them being on the run because of this thing that happens to sort of Bonnie and Clyde as Thelma and Louise esque movie the movie that's about the social commentary about things that are going on that that movie had been like so much and it has to do with what happens in that clip that we just heard the reason why they're on the run because as we've seen in the trailer he shoots that cop the thing of it is he was right to shoot back but they take it on the heel and toe Anyway the whole thing goes down it eventually ends up on the body camera or the police vehicle cam and then we have the vehicle the vehicle cam so it's all seen everybody can see all of what happened to my mind I project myself you know I'm going now what do I do she says we gotta run I'm like you're insane yeah we've got documentation of what happened yeah exactly and I'll take my 1st thing I would do is call my mom but a bomb definitely not going to take over the fact they weren't too sharp about what they did afterwards or got and that bothers me still that you know who he is really the rest of the moon the protagonists don't do the smart thing at always frustrates you know it makes sense you watch them and Louise if they take it on the heel and toe to they should they have to she killed him that was murder Bonnie and Clyde they were robbing banks and you're going to have not much gray hair you know where but he you know the one thing that they shouldn't have done is run. What do you think Amy I love this movie and I will say there's kind of No they when they make that decision oh they're this couple that's on a 1st date they're very different it's not going well you know she's a death row defender he's She's an attorney she's an attorney and still tells him to go on the. Guys from the g.s.t. Is more like him he's like I want to call my dad I don't want to do this but it's a very impulsive act and then they do something else impulse of it very soon after and then it continues from there you know this is William it is his 1st film and I think it is a thrilling debut and people might already know her work she's one of the more famous music video directors we have working right now she did beyond his formation that really landmark music video that was touching on things like you know Daughters of the dust beautiful artwork it was also about police brutality you might have the likes of a police officers unions protested it because they thought it was a film that you know was to proclaim a nice police even as police and you see her in this in this film Queen in some kind of recycling or kind of honoring a lot of the images from that movie you know there's a scene both in the video and here we have a young black child facing down a whole wall of police officers you know and you see that she says the steam she really loves that she's this really politically active engaging director and what impressed me here is that she can also do romance and like heart in comedy and you fall in love with this couple as the film goes on how long they've been are they a fairly new couple or if they've been together he was not to drop her off he was about to drop her off and never speak to her again and there's the 1st day of the 1st day going badly and you do see that relationship develop and how they end up in those outfits in the in that purple Bonneville when they go to New Orleans to meet her uncle who's played by the wonderful book and he's a pimp with p.t.s.d. From the Afghanistan war is that all of that's just funny an interest in a lot of commentary about men and women and and black families and all of that culture every place they go everybody knows this you you know and in the community comes around them to protect them I like all. All of that but you know you shouldn't around the film is queen and slim it's in wide release it's rated r. And the frames John Horne spoke with the director of suka us as well as the screenwriter Lena Thwaite at wait time sorry and that interview you can hear by linking on our film week page at k p c c dot org The 2 pope's directed by Fernando Morella's stars Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Price tells the story of a socially conservative Pope Benedict and the liberal future Pope Francis as they forge a new path for the Catholic Church. Confidential such documents were allegedly leaked to the press corruption and misconduct come out of the 31st of this issue it's just beyond the. Congress out if you do this you are Congress the papacy read the law says. Peter going to take. A kind of play this role in the. Anthony McCartan wrote the screenplay for the 2 popes Amy what do you think yes this is a film I enjoyed a lot that's based on 2 real life couple actions that we all remember the election of Benedict and then the Election Offenses shortly after and in between them something haven't had to happen in the Catholic Church for 700 years which is a Pope Benedict willingly resigned the last time that it happened was I think 1294 which shows you what a giant shock it was to this ystem and so this is a film made by an enemy or a as people from City of God He's a really socially conscious filmmaker he's also a Catholic and it's a story based on a play really that's about these 2 men coming together who have dramatically different views of what the Catholic Church is and should be about what the future of the Catholic Church should be people know that Pope Benedict was more of a traditionalist he wanted to kind of hold the line against what he saw as like the liberal in coachmen of people who are watering down. Catholicism is Pope Francis being a person pope from South America being a person who's you know very socially conscious kind of a Jimmy Carter sort of figure he feels now even today that we need to be open to things like allowing peace in the Amazon to get married you know where does the Catholic Church go from here how does it stay relevant and so the center piece is just the series of conversation some some argumentative between these 2 popes about like where the church needs to be going you know I'm half Catholic my mother is a Catholic so I grew up in the church and I really do admire watching these people go at it like talking about their ideas and their visions and also this movie has you know some fun stuff you watch pope's drinking fountain you watch them arguing over soccer you know there's a humanist in this film that I also really I really like I just kind of saying in this film I was into it says he is historical fiction right because there's no we don't have memoirs of of the 2 men document in any conversation on the quickly did not have this conversation in 2012 the 1st time they met is after Pope Benedict had resigned and Francis is at already become pope that's the 1st time they met so this didn't happen. A good chunk of this movie is about is a biography of Pope Francis we go back to his childhood his young life his life as a young man we see him. As a as a as a young Cardinal in Argentina doing the troubles of the early 2000 of the early 1970 s. And we discussed some some of the political ramifications of some of the things that he was doing then he's been criticized for some of the things that he did then he took the side of the government that. That stuff is interesting because that stuff happened it's documented now these conversations that these 2 popes are having this is written by Anthony McCartan who wrote darkest hour Churchill you know those grants b.s. It's a good thing because he really understands this material and he gives them these very individual and specific voices and ideas their thoughts how we've gleaned that these people think about religion over the period but it's all made up. All of this is just confabulation we have we should know that an immigrant that I've seen so many movies about like the weekend Marilyn Monroe spent with I don't know there's a good in that just now that I think that the idea is they're talking about are very true that well I guess I don't I don't want to come away from this thinking that I know something about what Cardinal Ratzinger actually thought about these things or the other way around because it's just not true that's not there was there was one about Malcolm x. Malcolm in Martin sort of you know the fictional meeting between Malcolm x. And I love that movie but again all made up all made up so interestingly biography is interesting we don't get as much of a biography of Pope Benedict as we do a Franciscan and they look at Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Price and I say Oh my goodness they look exactly like them it's really just a wonderful thing to do that is really for you to see and they have fans as Benedict you know it that character in this film does not start out as a very pro Benedict you see him as sort of a political campaigner negotiating to get himself elected as pope you know being really interested in like the vestments and the ceremonies and the necklaces but this movie did successfully find a bit of a heart in Pope Benedict and I was glad to see you Nancy because I want to saw vividly fun and I've given this director would probably be you know highly sympathetic. To Francis and and and make Benedict look like a very narrow minded person doesn't he starts off like that for sure and he as you as Francis learns to find what he can really love and value and respect in Benedict the movie lets us do that too it's that you really watch a person he's almost reminded me of the Mr Rogers movie that just came out you know this meeting of like a big hearted person and somebody more cynical about what life is any just watch the kind hearted person chip away and chip away and learn to love this person and then you do to as the audience conduit. The movie is the 2 pope's It's directed by Fernando Morales written by Anthony McCartan and it's going to be streaming on Netflix just prior to Christmas you can see it now though on. In the landmarks big strain in West l.a. At the Vista in Los Feliz the 2 popes rated p.g. 13 we have a new version of Les Miserables Yeah it's not a musical and it's French what do you think Tim Well it's not it's not a version of Les Miserables. They're using the title here as a reference to the Victor Hugo like birth of a nation like ours and it's all there yeah yeah the newer film with the exactly so this this this film is set in the in the district where Victor Hugo actually wrote limits Rob and looking at doing that your 150 years ago in the middle of all that strife it also references to 2005 Paris suburb riots which is when this is also set so we have this this team of tactical officers 3 of them a new guy just arrived on the team and they roll off into these sort of mostly black and Muslim extremely poor communities and they tried to keep the peace between all of these different people ostensibly there's a story about this little lion that gets stolen by this little boy and these gypsies are looking for this lion cub lion cub a little timeline copius walking around with it and they have to find this line couple there's going to be this riot that goes down a little boy gets hurt terribly bad by one of the police officers and they have does a videotape of this and they have to get this videotape back and so we have to sort of thrill restore what's going on as we follow these costs particularly one cop who is just a brutal police officer in the way that he treats all of these poor Muslim people and we watch this story and we start to understand what we're watching is sort of this reflection of the whole of society and how it's being torn apart by all of these tribal factors and how it is exactly the same as it was a 150 years ago when Victor Hugo was writing Limas Rob right in that exact same community that where the world these things are happening now it's quite fascinating I really like this movie a lot exactly of that union leaders who want to try to figure out how to keep the peace and security of their server. To start a war over things you have this film that you know that the cops a blood in here feels a lot like you just watching the French training day but I'm I'm at peace with that and there's a really interesting backstory to this film you know the director here logically he has this really iconic photograph that was taken of him by the photographer Jr who people might remember from the Agnes Varda film faces places he was the man that in 2004 the year before the suburban riots he was in Paris and he was going to this or suburbs and taking pictures of the young kids and artists and filmmakers and his committees and he took a photo of this director in 2400 in a camera like a gun and this film feels like this extension of that this artist's using art as his weapon to try to talk about the politics of his neighborhood so I really admire it for all those reasons I mean it feels also kind of a crowd pleasing easy to like movie you know this movie when they think the jury prize it can this air is there you see there are a lot of films like I've been in this terrain coming out of Europe you know like a lot of them from Scandinavia films about what are the cops doing in these neighborhoods to try to keep the peace or try to make things worse and so I appreciate this film the sort of adding to that giant conversation here I think some of the really familiar but also approachable Yeah it's much of it is a procedural but the interest in the politics I'm going to the politics of it it becomes a very interesting movie Yes Les Miserables brand new film from France it's directed by lodge Levy who also co-wrote the screenplay it's rated r. You can see it at the arena sin lounge in Hollywood it will be on Amazon sometime next year it's an Amazon Studios distributed film but great chance to see it again Rena's in a lounge in Hollywood rated r. Girls on the run a Belgium drama which is written by Mitch Wald Virginie Mel is the director Amy Yeah I didn't love love love this film but I liked its energy I would say that this is sort of a girl interrupted. That also takes place in Europe where you have here is a young girl is brought in dragging and screaming into this mental institution starts fights with her 2 roommates immediately on sight and then and pulls of Lee the 3 of them run away together when they get a distraction from the guards and they're on this mission a kind of like go to look Simberg and it's sort of this road trip movie of all of them bickering not really getting along there's a harshness to it in a brutality in the friendship that I liked a lot I don't know what is it into I did like this movie quite a lot is interesting so the lead girl is a cutter and has attempted suicide a couple times there ostensibly doing is going to find her father she wants to go find her father because her father is going to get her out of that psychiatric unit that the the middle girl is grotesquely obese and just won't stop eating and has all kinds of issues and then the and then the other girl she's a couple maniac so you have a lot of fun with all that stuff going on in the movie girls on the run from Belgium the film unrated at least Glendale theater we have many more films to talk about on film week on 89.3 and a reminder that our film week Daniel Academy Awards preview will be Sunday February 2nd theater days hotel even Levon in the morning take it's a k.p.c.

Film wake on 89.3 k p c c I'm learning that. This week because of the 4 day Thanksgiving holiday weekend it's a Wednesday and Saturday airing of film Wake so good to have you with us and give you a chance to see some of these terrific films our critics this week are in the Nicholson and Tim God shell and Tim's going to start us on My Friend of the Polish girl Tim Well this is a really hit a little film that seeped into me this strange little movie so ostensibly a documentary. But it's not it's a fictional film but since really a documentary we hear this one voiceover talking about how she's living in London she wants to make a film she's such it's going to find a character someone to interviews people eventually she picks this Polish girl about whom she's going to make a movie called Girl tells her something in the interview that she finds intriguing not long after that she finds out that the things the Polish girl told her was a lot. This is interesting to see continues to follow her documentary life she's an actress and an immigrant she has a boyfriend all kinds of things happen I'm watching this movie this documentary and I have to keep reminding myself we might not this is not a documentary this is a movie that's that's not by the time you get to the end of it though you're completely swept up into it and you're thinking of these people as the individuals who they're supposed to be in the documentary that's been way you're thinking about them and and listening to them as the director of the documentary sort of insinuate waits herself into this but then you have to remember what she's not a director of the documentary she's an actress acting in this movie there's someone else directing this movie it works and it got me and I fell for it even though I knew it was all that my friend the Polish girl Amy I loved this idea and I could not fall for it I tried to so hard but the woman playing the director who we don't really see her face very much was reportedly the headline meetings were just so phony that I could never believe that this was real and I really wanted to I've really wanted to this is nothing in her words it came out of her mouth ever felt livable to me she was just some of these kind of like a narcissistic filmmaker to me she did what she sounded like a scripted phony no. I did it Blair Witch Project This is not and I wish it was I wish it was I think the phony director and that movie is good to have it on here that this wasn't quite there although I think the actress who played the Polish actress is really great it's a it's one of those. All balled all the performances from the growth as opposed to she just comes in there's a lot of nudity there's a lot of rawness to her she really does have an electric charisma and that said Aneta happy atrocity stars in the film it's written and directed by the wife and husband filmmaking team on a sketch and. Denham Demick it's unrated my friend a Polish girl is dead Lemon lays Glendale theatre the film is set in London but follows the life of the mock Polish actress a way is a lot v.n. Animated film that has no dialogue whatsoever the director and writer of the film is Guinness Zille billowed Tim who also did the score for the film 3 d. Animation although it's streamline minimalist it's a lot of depth of field and things but almost no detail in any of the characters the characters include this young man who seems like a teenager the film opens we see him in the hanging from a parachute in the tree this is large dark sort of blob like looming figure gigantic that's approaching him it seems to be after him all the time he gets out of the tree he's on this island and he's running away from this figure every now and again this figure I decided that the figure who's looming over him is conscious or fear or perhaps of the self doubt I might not I don't know I'm not exactly sure what that is why much should it we're supposed to be sure he has one little friend this little bird and he has a motorcycle and he's riding across this island running from this looming figure into all of these absolutely beautiful vignettes of the animation is just absolutely striking that thing we do on the glass pond and you see all the reflections and everything's a double and it's just it's just beautiful the score is just him he did the score is there a number of little things throughout the film. They're just they're just really really deeply moving and breathtaking and frankly I think they take the place of the dialogue you don't need the dialogue to follow what is going on in the film we're talking about the animated film away Latvian film what do you think Amy Yes I mean to me this felt like a film for very very very young children as a gateway to like teaching about things like war and trauma and how to find a community when you've sort of been isolated like that's how I interpreted this very silent movie as like a person escaping from me that was his fate of dying in war because he's in this parachute at the beginning has landed in tree he looks like a soldier he's just like you see some figures that sort of seem like soldiers very often the distance and so it felt like kind of talking about what happens to a person they experience something traumatic like that I'll play the part of Charles Solomon and say I did not like the end of the shins to hell and all you like to hold me most 3 thing I thought it looked too much like a screen saver for me but I did enjoy that this film does kind of seem to hit these deep notes about what is a community what do we owe each other in terms of generosity in terms of empathy in terms of giving in all of his relationships he has with all the animals all over the film I mean the turtles the turtles there's this whole series of like 40 black cats you know I have a black cat in my life who means a lot to me so to see this animation sequence with 40 very uniform marching black cats. If only child were hearing the movie as a way. Like so many of the film talked about the past 2 of them Glendale theater away is unrated recorder the Marion Stokes Project documentary that's at the new art theater Matt Wolfe The director Amy Yeah this is a really fascinating documentary about a woman in Marion Stokes she was wealthy she was on her 2nd husband she was very intelligent she was very very politically engaged you know she had gone through the Socialist Party and in the communist party she considered moving to Cuba in the fifty's and sixty's instead she winds up in this giant mansion in Philadelphia married to a man who then helps her by series of mansions all of which. Fills up with videotapes and newspapers primarily videotapes because what she starts doing is during the Iran hostage affair and in $1079.00 she just starts recording everything that's on all the news channels about it and then she can keep her courting all day every day 6 to 8 V.C.R.'s going at all times recording the last 4 decades many American history and just catalog categorizing it well clumsily on these tapes that seem to freak out all of her extended relatives because her house looks like a hoarder's house of all these videotapes you know it's an archive Actually it is now if you look that's this was hoarding and there was in there was somebody should have diagnosed her situation 45 years ago but the result of it is just extraordinary archive that exists now now 1000000 stocks I knew who she was in the Midwest they used to disappear public affairs programming stuff. The sort of television that you go to it cable stations Yeah anybody got public access public access television and Marion used to pop up on those Sunday morning shows you know those public affairs talk about Stokely Carmichael and the ball the Black Panthers all kind of stuff and she was an activist and a socialist and very well spoken as in this very solid slender black woman and her 2nd husband John Stokes was this billionaire and they would appear on these shows together every now and again and they just started this relationship in the you know when he's middle age has children that graduated from college he divorced his wife to be married Marion So Marion became so like millionaire one of the things that she did and she she was very technically savvy Marian and when Apple came out she knew that that was something special she knew Steve Jobs was something special she bought Apple stock at $7.00 a share just doesn't need her husband that'll just fortune now she was a hoarder and had that and that's just the fact of matter what it is but she taped all of these things had a small staff working 24 hours a day changing tapes she would get very upset if a tape ran out to let the tape went out sometimes she would sit there changing channels like she'd be watching something and recording it would get on into. Yes and he changed channels to something else so it's just it's a haphazard mess and the going to get some of these definitions like what is the difference between calling somebody a hoarder or a collector like it in what does that really come down to it a hoarder is just something who collects things you don't want but we actually kind of want these and when the documentary really does that I love is that it just stops to like show you different parts of what she recorded on the news to show you Magic Johnson announcing he has HIV for example to show you in one of the centerpiece things the screen just divides into quadrants and you watch 4 channels slowly realize that $911.00 has happened starting with c.n.n. Which sees it 1st in the 2 hours it takes for it to be on all 4 offers towels it's really powerful when you watch this document and everything she recorded. Recorder the Marian Stokes Project documentary from Mack Wolf the director it's at the new art theater is Stokes still living there she died a couple of years ago at age 82 she was born in 1927 have felt like this documentary is almost her son's way of keeping her project alive or honoring what she accomplished this record of the Marian Stokes project is on rated the film after Parkland documentary directed by j. Clever men and Emily to Gucci any Yeah this is literally what it is it's a film about a few of the kids who survive Parkland have David Hogg in here and then you have the most primarily of the people who really loved walking Oliver who is like the basketball sired walk the people talked about and you have these people kind of wrestling with how they feel about it and just sort of kind of a newsy thing you know a lot of stories have come out of Parklane little news pieces like this person took this person the problem this person's parent is doing this these people made this memorial and this is a talk that just sort of Chronicles everything and puts it out there sort of straight forward it's almost a straight for that to me this documentary maybe feels like recorder it's like it's just more valuable as a record of what happened than it is as a film film because this film I think wants to be respectful of everybody's viewpoints and so it winds up feeling like it wants to say something more than it is you know you have these 2 parents in here. There you have the parents of the father of bucking Oliver who really channels his pain into creating art into coaching basketball and then you have the parent. Meadow and I'm playing on her last name I apologize but that father has been very he kind of went to the root of wanting more security wanting more guns everywhere like he really went kind of like that if we had more guns this wouldn't have happened route and so you have these 2 parents kind of telling the camera what they think in the film to sort of watches them tell us what they think and doesn't really take a side or put anything forward on the gauge with Doesn't the idea forward it's just there which is why I think I really fell for Victoria Gonzales use the woman who is the young girl who is walking over his girlfriend and like her just Story of like the day she feels good to the day she feels bad houses in the community her safe process is really beautiful and I think it's love it she took time to be in this film and that student you were mentioning meadow polic is the name of the student after Parkland is the documentary it's on rated You can see it at Lend-Lease Monica Film Center special one day only event on December 4th one night is brand a theater live the Winter's Tale Tim this a filmed the Atropos performance a film theatrical performance in the in the play Dame Judi Dench in the play which is still force the tale of another jealous king since the baby away from the wife who thinks was having an affair it's done very beautiful again very minimalist mostly from the proceeding him so we're kind of sitting there like the audience but they also use other cameras for close ups and cutaways sort of set in a Victorian sort of area it's kind of a multimedia thing too they use projections and all that kind of stuff you can see them changing the stages in the shadows that's the lights go down it's big straightforward Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare it's loud and bombastic the dame It's fantastic I really like a lot of the Dame Judi Dench and the cast also. And clued Kenneth Branagh himself Tom Bateman Miranda raise on Robert Ashford the director and the writer of course Mr Shakespeare himself brand of theater live the Winter's Tale is underrated You can see it at several of the Lend-Lease theaters around the greater Los Angeles area again one night only December 4th I know about the 2 of you but I love these special one night screenings whether it's Fathom Events doing a classic film or live theatrical performances because I think so many of these things there isn't an opportunity for people to communally see them on a big screen yet particularly the sort of life theatrical so I don't see this otherwise you know I love it so much when they come out of London there's so many productions we would never get to see if they were not broadcast theatres and I love that crowd like you go sometimes is that there's you can have a glass of wine or he's communicating in theater together yeah yeah and you know they already did the same stuff you do because that brought you together at the order of weirdos and I love it. Again ran a theatre live the Winter's Tale and finally a 30th anniversary screening one night only December 3rd at several of the Lem Lays of When Harry Met Sally Tim this is a film that you know there's a certain iconic clips of this that oh yeah people still love will do will love this film my wife and I you know 1st and I want to put this and I hesitated putting that in there I was thinking myself I wonder if this film is still Ok today I wonder if some of its themes might not be appropriate Billy Crystal's idea in this movie did min and women cannot be friends to will always be a sexual docile dynamic that's that's a that's a thing when they're they're not sure exactly appropriate to this day the idea that I and tell them is wrong in the 1st in the 1st scene in the 1st scene but they still end up together in all mirrored in everything so that the feces turns out to be actually true so I don't know but I do love this movie with all my heart there's some great lines in the film and the chemistry. Between the 2 stars a terrific as well absolutely I mean this is one of my favorite favorite favorite you know idea of my cousins will remember if I top 100 in this film is not on it and that breaks my heart this is I think one of the best films that's come out of my life Diane and I'm so glad it's in theaters again I mean it's just amazing it's a good community movie it's a getting out movie it is just I think it to me it's perfect I would propose to this movie and nor I have heard some of the lines she has in this are are just gems absolute gems Absolutely Rob Reiner directed chorused When Harry Met Sally 30th anniversary screening at several of the Lemley theaters December 3rd one night only the film is rated r.

It is the year coming to a close in just over a month but the decade closing $21.00 that gives us the chance to talk with our critics today about what they're looking forward to in the remaining months of 2019 and to also look back on what they think are the most memorable the most significant films of this past decade in case you just joined us our critics Amy Nicholson and Tim Cobb shell Let's talk 1st about what you're looking forward to in the remaining month of the year you know typically December the big awards push of films a little more dispersed on the schedule than they used to be but. Any Are you looking forward to particular film coming out well you know Tim and I have already seen most of the big things because we're in laughter and we vote soon which means the main film that we're not going to get to see in time that I cannot wait to see is cats. That's oh my gosh I can't wait to see cats I don't know what to make of cats I think cats might blow my mind maybe maybe a better I'll probably see cats 5 times it just sounds like the kind of movie that I will never know if I love or hate it but I will just be there this is the Andrew Lloyd Webber cats big screen yet were played by you know Taylor Swift. A lot of amazing people who are just dressed like cats but also very odd sort of c.g.i. a Thing going on that have portions make no sense everybody's human ish but very tiny with giant chairs I don't even know it's going to have it every time I watch a trailer I just get so happy. Every time I watch the trailer I get a little creeped out yeah that's one of the for one of the few live state productions I actually left at intermission. I think you know I'm not. Sure that's how good is what are you looking forward to. Kristen Stewart I'm a big ridiculous fan of hers she has a Seeburg Jean Seberg biopic coming out which she placed in secret and I can't wait to see that mostly on the strength of the Stewart because I think that she has just become one of the most of. Stronger actors there is out there also adding I think Amy already saw I haven't seen it Adam Sandler has a film coming out called uncut uncut gems if you say. You don't you've seen it so yes perhaps you want to tell the people about a little the dynamic side to see that every now and again Adam bad movie Bad Movie bad movie Bad Movie great movie that and I think this might be one of those who is the director of the film is the stuffy brothers there was a time a few years ago that really kind of chaotic chaotic super fun movie and this is Adam Sandler as a jewelry dealer who lies to everybody in his life including the basketball player Kevin Garnett who is in this movie who is excellent and it's just a very condensed window into a few days in this jewelry designers jewelry jewelry man's life as he lies to everyone and his family and everyone he ever meets and just makes his life get worse and worse it is the tensest movie I have ever seen I saw it in Toronto not a comedy it's really funny but also you're miserable I loved it I was drinking this giant iced coffee and I was shaking by the time the movie and that's what this movie does it is if terrifically miserable wonderful. All right so Tim Here you have to see that I mean I can see that out but definitely looking forward to it all right well let's talk about the most influential films of the past decade ones that really stayed with you that you spent a lot of time on Tim you want to start with the ones that are most memorable it's interesting that you can talk you know when I was back in 2010 there's a wonderful French film called on seas which was just about to tell you can't smell it's true of life this is a film that I still think about this is a film like see a lot of other films sort of mocking a little bit or are biting a little bit in terms of style the sort of full tree of life was just a deeply moving meaningful film for me a lot of times Max films you know but this is one that hit me real hard I love the beasts of the Southern Wild that's just another one it's beautifully poetic little movie like no other film you are ever going to say yeah it's just stunningly original Yeah yeah but that little girl. That family sort of ideas that are in this beautiful movie it's another movie that I think about on the large side I have to say Mr Spielberg's Lincoln this is a film that I can still put in watch he and I love that he understood something about that period and that was the way he opened step still with that black soldier pleading for the right to fight on his own behalf only Mr Spielberg knew that this is the way you have to open this movie yeah I love that film. Framing for you your favorites of the deck yet for me what I think is really exciting is that we have a lot of people who came out in this decade with their 1st film 2nd film 3rd film that I feel like we're going to see for a long time that this is a decade to me brand new innovation I think probably my favorite thing that I think is really going to change Hollywood in the next 10 years is that little click of filmmakers who are coming out of San Francisco and Oakland you know it puts Riley who did sorry to bother you that seemed blind spot in the film came out this year last black man in San Francisco These are all 1st time filmmakers incredible artists they really have a point of view they're very political They're very funny they're bending genres they're making things that are wild and wacky and completely unique and they seem to tend gently all know each other and I'm fascinated this idea of this generation rising up and like I think they really have a tendency they have that the opening to to change film honestly like I think they might be one of the people who wind up defining who we are as film as a film in this era All right some of the other filmmakers really have come up in this year I mean we've seen Ava Du Vernay who's become a hyphen at you know producer director television mogul and you know so to see someone who in this decade become highly influential Who are some of the others did you think. Oh God. Every day the person I think taps the most directly into my psyche that we've had this decade is youngest land them of the lobster Yes the lobster the favorites I mean you're going to lead the most His films are so. Cold and so ironic and yet they said they cut so much into the worst parts of being a human being that I feel naked every time I watch a young man's land the most film and he fascinates me like he feels like he makes films that are going to reverberate for a very long time I love being alive when there's New Yorkers that most of my hand can Flanagan. You can lean on yeah right up to Manchester by the sea. I deeply powerful dramatic filmmaker Barry Jenkins that you can just in recent years both moonlight in Bill street again and again coming out of San Francisco it's in a lot or Yeah and these are so like new voices too but I mean one it's been around for a while but but he does this do something about his films I feel the same way that you what you said his films are always deeply penetrating and very very very earnest and true yeah. And assisting with the style that we see Jenkins a great example where he's so unafraid of. Quoting so much style on the screen I want to point where some critics with his last film The title of which escapes me there was some criticism that was you know more more stylish than the streak of talking heads Yeah it's strictly stylish film the color schemes in there are all fine but I like that and I appreciate it deeply Plus it's just his voice look very Jenkins is a African-American filmmaker but the regions doesn't make urban films he makes mainstream dramatic films which I think it's a very specific sort of thing for an African-American filmmaker to be allowed to do yeah well how much of this is that with the rise of independent film the ability to do movies less expensively is allowing directors even early in their career to have more control I think that's a huge part of it I mean there Jenkins 1st film medicine for melancholy a really lovely fella started the comedian Wyatt Cenac I believe he funded that by selling a car and also his job at the nano Republic I mean that is a film he made for no money and we're able to do that now because now we don't have a creation problem now we have a publicity distribution problem there's just too many good tiny independent films but for someone a 1st time filmmaker to make a film put it on You Tube or what you know did to make it with an i Phone or whatever people do it oh yeah the project tangerines the literally tangerines made with his i Phone exactly absolutely sort of striking verité sort of sort of film I think that film will definitely be one that we also really look to something that defines this decade you know Sean Baker's where yeah handwringing Yeah and also Florida project project is so good and using you know local actors and and the motel is such a star of of that production just just wonderful Exactly and you know it's interesting all the people are mentioning is these are films made by filmmakers with a conscience but not a conscience in the way of like the ninety's or even the 1st decade of this millennium where it's sort of tedious and. I think these are just interesting people who also seem to have a heart and a soul yeah I mean the Florida project I didn't take any preaching in that it's just it's just showing us a world and in and in a you know a realistic depiction of people and people aren't sort of pretty dop or made nicer than they would really be in the real world and yet you can still have an identification with something very difficult characters we'll continue our conversation with our critics about the films they think are most influential the directors who have made the biggest impression on them over the course of this decade you're listening to film week on 89.3.

Si dot org You can also call us at 866-893-5722 that if you're listening to our live Wednesday film week airing. Tator Sheridan with cardio hell or highwater Oh yeah I love I just love that that's one I could watch almost infinite number of times in such a classically produced films as a classically talked about style that now is not so much about styles about there are some great long shots of the. Real will classic stuff but that's that's an. Actor's piece and it's just it's just a fantastic movie that's I love that Foster Yeah Ben Foster so so good you know we haven't talked about the influence of the superhero comic book films but to me perhaps the pinnacle was Logan Yeah just terrific film I think that is the best one this me that felt like its own independent stand alone story its own look at sound style it's on top and it didn't have to blend into a universe I meant in adjacent it's not quite superhero but I think Mad Max Fury Road now that's going to wind up still I think that still has a lot of impact that in John wake in the fact that we are more interested again in practical effects and actual stunts and there's a hunger for that I think we are like those films almost combating the superhero c.g.i. World yeah and the Mad Max Fury Road I just had a smile the whole they're just so much that's funny and just visually. Just so light in a film that's also relentless and yeah same to yeah yeah Shelly's is particularly wonderful in that movie called Mad Max very road but it sure feels her Ville and I like that it's her film once again if you have what you think are the most influential most memorable films of this decade you can share it if you're listening live Wednesday 866-893-5722 or our film week page k.p.c. Si dot org Also want to talk about. Black Panther of course because they had a very influential and I'll throw a Wonder Woman in there because again having a woman is the lead character I thought that was a terrific film woman directed at they both managed to be you know fairly pointed about their politics in their themes while still being wildly entertaining big gigantic popcorn entertainment at the same time making some very specific statements in the context of black panther kill monger that character Michael b. Jordan character there was the he was fan. Asked I felt he should be nominated for an Academy Award for that performance myself but the ideals of these Desplat community speaking to itself you know what are you doing for your own black people that's in that big popcorn movie and I like that you can do both and I think that Ryan Coogler proved that you can do both Also we should talk about Winter's Bone generally yeah who's done a number of outstanding films over the course of the decade largely flying under that you know the general audience radar but real critical favorite Yeah yeah absolutely absolutely and you know a film like that they gave us Jennifer Lawrence I think that's why I don't film critics are supposed to grumble Billick everything's going downhill and I'm so thrilled right now with what's happening in movies and that I do feel like I grew up with a world of just like the last generations actors who are still our movie stars who are still hanging on a national going to go to the movies I see all these faces that are really making their career you know people from like Margot Robbie Caitlin Devore Tessa Thompson Cynthia review I think is one of the most exciting actors to come out recently in the period and Harriet Yeah and before that. Time is that the Royal I like I don't really enjoy that movie and Kristen Stewart who I adore and I thought you know what I'll stick up for Charlie's Angels in a few weeks behind us that she was great and I said so. 2 weeks ago I said exactly you know of course there's Jordan Peele and what he's done to reinvigorate the horror genre by and again insinuating politics and other ideas into it to get it out to me is an extraordinary film because how it can be both so funny and so chilling at the same time me striking that that tonal. Tightrope walk that isn't extraordinary are to stick accomplished Polanski has to kind of guy who would do that Yeah exactly yeah who could have that you're both just sort of you know repulsed and children at the same time you're laughing at what you see taking part exactly and Larry knows that I love watching the horror of it so much because I think it's really where some of the interesting ideas come out you know there's a film coming out and I. Daniel isn't really that's one of my favorite films of the year it's like this just really good stuff Charlie in West Minister says I tanya the funniest thing I've seen in 40 years since freebie in the being in the 1970 s. Yes Yeah I Tanya was and again it is so hard to do those kinds of films that tonal e r are playing from both ends of the themes can you on earth and week page you can share some of your favorites with us over the course of the past decade or you can call we have just couple minutes left if you're listening live Wednesday 866-893-5722 picture on the doll far. This past decade has he kept his is chops up as the director right up right up to the present moment he has a film out right now The Skin I Live In it's the one that I put on my list yeah there that was just particularly when we consider that it was just prior to the whole sort of meet to thing that happened for him to make a movie about that I guess I won't give a theme of the movie away but it's transformative I'll say it like that. It was was really just sort of an amazing sort of pressuring it sort of sort of thing to do or it you also have a Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine Yeah you know all of the part of Blue Jasmine Cate Blanchett just absolutely exquisite performs and you know what do you have a little Renaissance there for a minute which Yeah Midnight in Paris is knowledge Yeah and I have to throw out for my homie Spike black Klansmen last year a lot of people did not see shy rock they should Cyrus Iraq is a wonderful movie Nick Cannon extraordinary in that film and again social commentary. Retasking list of Strada as a black Klansman again combining the humor with social commentary and the great Terence Blanchard score that's a part of it. All right we're talking about the films that were most influential for our critics over the course. This past decade you also have the Martian on your list Damn I do I do for what it does for love of science and space in its attempt to bring a large audience to these notions and ideas I love that the guy in that movie is going to science his way Mars if he does serious science or away to a better planet now. While I had him you know you've also got hidden figures which is. Math technology. You know a revelation even to me I did not know about the I consider myself you know I did not know about these women and what they had done in this film while still being grandly entertaining telling us the story about these women all right very good quickly any back to horror films do you have a couple of of ones that.

She was Clay to delight and quite a a wonderful person and she would begin Hershfield by saying I know I'm going to mispronounce your name so I apologize in advance. Of course some of the names I mispronounced are no longer on the planet to accept my apology but some of them are there and I apologize for having butchered so many names I try to do it in every language and I think I'm pretty successful I ran into a man with a very simple name though quite talented His name is Jack Perla he lives and works in the Bay Area He's a composer and a pianist he's active in opera jazz chamber music and or Castra music his music is widely performed and he's played in the u.s. Europe India and Japan. He began composing and performing more than 25 years ago in New York with a musical group music without walls. And continue to do so after moving to the Bay Area. I know that he wrote an opera based on the Salman Rushdie book Shalimar the Clown. And I went on Long Island on line and found some of his music and he was a delightful man who spoke about his child and he's a father and a local now local talent and so I'm going to play just a little bit of his music and you can look him up on line and listen to his music it's Jack common spelling and it's almost impossible for me to butcher that name in peril of p r l a. Composer pianist but let's listen to his composition love hate quote the world. get back to you immediately. So that was a love hate by. Jack Perla Let's play one more piece one more composition and he's a gentleman who was sitting next to me in a coffee shop and. I just I like his music he was a father he was a delight and I think it's kind of nice to. You see what I can do here for you guys one more piece from this and then we're going to go out with more.

Experience in the lyrics but we didn't so that was an excerpt of an opera composed by Jack Perla originally from New York but living in the Bay Area.
