Frizz and Bob take the other road in the Genesis breakup and following Peter Gabriel straight into So - the bold, bizarre, and beautiful album that turned an avant-garde art rocker into an unexpected pop icon. Frizz is sipping Ardnamurchan AD Single Malt and Bob's pouring a glass of Uncle Boojie's Double Oaked as we track Gabriel's transformation from inflatable stage props and silent retreats to chart-topping soul bangers, groundbreaking drum sounds, and the most iconic music video of the MTV era. This is Peter Gabriel at his most human, strange, spiritual, and romantic - and it might just be the weirdest way anyone's ever taken over the world.
The music industry can be hard to navigate, and harder to stomach. Sometimes, the industry seems to magnify all of your biggest insecurities, and the Imposter Syndrome is real.BUT electro-pop artist Robbie Wabi Sabi says that we artists have to stick together, and that you have to be your own biggest fan. You also have to connect meaningfully with your audience.In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Robbie Wabi Sabi, a synthesizer-obsessed drum machine lover who's been writing and producing his own music since the 1980s. While Robbie's career in music has experienced multiple iterations and transformations, he feels like THIS era is his best one yet--in part because of the enthusiasm he has for his own music and for the music community in which he exists and creates. He shares his tips for building self-confidence, keeping oneself relevant, and maintaining joy while creating. He also talks about his latest single, "Beautiful and Nerdy," and tells Emmeline why every Robbie Wabi Sabi show is actually one big party.To learn more about Robbie Wabi Sabi, or to follow his musical journey, find him on Instagram, check him out on YouTube, or stream his music on Spotify.

What caused the band to break up? Did Ric and Ben ever speak again before Ben's tragic passing in 2000? What led to the 2011 Cars' reunion?

Frizz and Bob crank up the neon and dive into one of the most fearless and fabulously weird pop debuts of all time: She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper. Frizz brings out her wild side with Wild Turkey 101 while Bob brings the spice with Ole George Rye. We explore how a thrift-store fashion queen with a four-octave voice and endless heart rewrote the rules for women in pop. From feminist anthems to filthy controversies, Cyndi turned cover songs into queer-coded ballads, danced through our TV screens, and even changed pro wrestling forever. It's one of the most iconic albums of the '80s - so come she-bop, belt, and dance with us as we raise a glass to the defiant and totally unforgettable Ms. Lauper.

Adam (John Travolta) is an intrepid reporter for Rolling Stone magazine currently chasing the biggest story of his career while in LA....when he suddenly comes up with an intriguing back-up story: how healthclubs are becoming the singles bars of the 1980's. :P And he zeroes in on one healthclub in particular which is called "The Sports Connection" and there he becomes immersed in their world, he is mostly drawn to Jessie (Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis) who is a very charismatic aerobics instructor drawing enthusiastic crowds, though also has a past. He begins chasing a story about her while also falling for her....and complications ensue. Directed by James Bridges (The China Syndrome, Urban Cowboy), this was wall-to-wall pelvic thrusts and mid '80's synth-pop music and is otherwise hard to categorize...which might be a major reason it flopped so hard upon initial release almost forty years ago. But it has since garnered a cult following and is fondly remembered by many as a campy time capsule from a different era. It also co-stars Laraine Newman, Marilu Henner, Mathew Reed, and Anne DeSalvo.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
