Welcome to Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick! On this week's episode, Beth and Caroline sit down with 2-time Emmy Award Winner, Henry Bronchtein, a longtime producer and director whose career spans decades and includes classic movies and TV shows like Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull, the HBO hit, The Sopranos, and Paramount hit, EVIL.  Henry is the definition of having seen it all and done it all, and we thank him for his generous time and speaking with us. Listen in for another "can't miss" interview from Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home!  The Interview with Henry begins at Time Code: 4:53 Join the Decorating the Set Community by subscribing to our Official Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/decoratingthesetpodcast)! Interact with Beth, Caroline, Producer Mike, and all of the DTS listeners! GUEST BIO: henry bronchtein Henry Bronchtein was born and raised in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, New York, the youngest of three sons of a cab-driver father and a homemaker. Henry attended New York University's Tisch School of The Arts to study filmmaking. Perhaps his first big break was working on Raging Bull (1980), as the apprentice assistant director to fellow NYU alumnus, Martin Scorsese. "As a child I was an avid reader, devouring every novel and every comic book put in front of me. I am a member of the first generation to be raised on television. Growing up my favorite shows were Rod Serling 's The Twilight Zone (1959), Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955), I Love Lucy (1951), and The Honeymooners (1955). I particularly loved Jackie Gleason''s vision of the working-class life of a bus driver living in Bensonhurst. It not only made me laugh it seemed to illustrate and illuminate my life. "When I was sick, my mother would go to the corner candy store and buy every comic book on the stand for me. She would install me on the living room couch, in front of the TV with them. There I'd lay with a blanket, a pillow and a glass of hot tea laced with a teaspoon of cognac; this was the prescription for healing. I would rest there for hours, reading and watching television, engrossed in the worlds of drama and comedy. At an early age I experienced their ability to reach me in important ways." ### For over 35 years, Beth Kushnick has created character-driven settings for countless award-winning television series and feature films.

Spéciale centenaire de Robert Altman (né le 20 février 1925), à l'occasion de la sortie du livre "Robert Altman, miroitements d'une oeuvre" d'Édouard Sivière (Marest Éditeur), avec Dick Tomasovic, chargé de cours en histoire et esthétique du cinéma et des arts du spectacle à l'ULg. Avec sa réputation de cinéaste indépendant au coeur du système hollywoodien, Robert Altman est une figure majeure du cinéma américain des années 1970. Il fait ses armes dans le film industriel avant une première expérience de long métrage (The Delinquents, 1955) puis il multiplie les réalisations d'épisodes de série pour la télévision (Alfred Hitchcock Presents ou Bonanza). C'est M*A*S*H, pourtant refusé par une dizaine de réalisateurs avant lui, qui lui apporte la consécration avec une Palme d'or à Cannes en 1970, en même temps que le véritable début de sa carrière. Suivront Le Privé (1973), Nashville (1975), Short Cuts (1993) ainsi qu'une bonne trentaine de films. Une analyse précise de sa filmographie, accompagnée d'une approche thématique, permet à Édouard Sivière de revenir en détail sur la carrière prolifique de Robert Altman. Cet ouvrage souligne également la vision contestataire des États-Unis d'Amérique du cinéaste, non dénuée d'humour noir, chez ce virtuose du film choral qui aimait détourner les codes et renouveler les genres, en croisant cinéma, théâtre, peinture et musique.

In this installment, Sam Jacoby murders his wife and tries to dispose of her body but is hampered by the most helpful and least helpful cop in the world. Then, Amy and Al discuss the library archives, Hitch rehearsing for his later films, and how the cop seems to have nothing else to do but follow Sam around. Al throws out some possible interpretations and Amy wonders, up to this point, how many episodes feature a husband murdering his wife. 

Marta Kristen was born Birgit Annalisa Rusanen, on February 26, 1945, in Oslo, Norway, to a Finnish mother and a German soldier who was killed towards the end of World War II in Europe. Marta was only two months old when she was left in an orphanage. In 1949, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Soderquist of Detroit, Michigan adopted her, and brought her to America; she was renamed Martha Soderquist. In 1959, the family moved to L.A. and she attended Santa Monica High School for a year; she later graduated from Hollywood Professional School. Producer/director James B. Harris discovered the pretty, petite aspiring actress; he arranged for her to get an agent, and she was quickly booked for TV programs, such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Loretta Young Show (aka "The New Loretta Young Show"). In 1963, Marta met a graduate student and, 6 months later, they got married. Her career took off and she made a splash as the mermaid "Lorelei" in Beach Blanket Bingo. She would be best-known and remembered, however, for her signature role of "Judy Robinson" in Lost in Space.  Marta is also known for her work in Battle Beyond the Stars, Murphy Brown, Fame and Trapper John.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Golden Globe nom inee Mel Harris joins me to discuss her new role in the film, the comedy-drama Queen of Knives. The film is available to rent/own on all digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms worldwide, as well as on DVD.Mel made her television debut in 1986, with a small role in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was her first starring role, as Hope Murdoch Steadman in the ABC drama series Thirtysomething (1987–1991) that earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a television series.Queen of Knives also stars Gene Pope, who also produced and co-wrote the movie with Lindsay Joy. The film follows the Benetto family, which is scattered to the winds in Brooklyn, NY. There's no predicting where they will end up. Relationships keep shifting. Generations keep trying to adapt to a new world. Risky behavior is the norm. Eventually, their paths all lead back to a fateful dinner at their former home, with surprise visitors and lots of unintended consequences. Where secrets are revealed, and a final page is turned. The biggest question is: Who exactly are the adults here?Don't miss the chance to catch up with actress Mel Harris right here in The Locher Room.

On our latest weekly roundup, some of the men in our lives are dealing with excessive amounts of mulch (or bark, or wood chips; whatever the terminology, there is too much of it).What we're watching: In episode 6 of Ripley, "Some Heavy Instrument," the law starts to close in on Tom, in the form of Inspector Ravini, played wonderfully by Maurizio Lombardi. Mentioned: The murderous leg of lamb episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, based on a story by Roald Dahl.On Bridgerton's season 3, episode 2 ("How Bright the Moon"), Penelope discovers that Colin is a writer (!) and the Queen finds a debutante who interests her. Guess what? It's piano-playing Francesca.Catherine's library find this week is another pick from the department of Crafts We'll Never Do: The Sandalmaking Workshop: Make Your Own Mary Janes, Crisscross Sandals, Mules, Fisherman Sandals, Toe Slides, and More by Rachel Corry. We're impressed at Corry's industriousness, but we'll stick to buying our sandals (and all of our other shoes) at Zappos.In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed secret handshakes and inside jokes (May 27, 2021), what robots could do for us (May 27, 2019), and weird things that make you happy as an adult (May 29, 2017). ​Next week, we'll discuss the next episode of Ripley, called “Macabre Entertainment,” and episode 3 of Bridgerton, season 3 ("Forces of Nature"). Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

In this installment, Count Mattoni is still dead and Inspector Davidson is still investigating but the list of confessed killers only grows longer.  Then, Al pays a visit to "The Manxman."

IN THIS EPISODE: It's #ThrillerThursday and this week I have a novelette from my collect of Alfred Hitchcock Presents books. This one comes from the book, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories Not For The Nervous” published in 1965. However, the story I'll be telling tonight, “The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers,” was originally published in 1928 in a collection of stories by Dorothy L. Sayers called “Lord Peter Views the Body” – with each story in that anthology centering around the character of Lord Peter Windsor. SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers” by Dorothy L.

Where does your mind go when you read the phrase, "The money changed everything"? In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I want to share points from our recent Haven discussion when we used this prompt to chat and play. Where did the money come from? What difference did it make? Before our gathering, I stumbled on an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents called "Reward to Finder". The story is about Carl, who finds some money in a gutter on his way home from work. Instead of returning it to its rightful owner (in exchange for an unspecified reward), as he promised his wife, Anna, he keeps it hidden in his attic. Eventually, Anna discovers that he is counting the money and demands a share. She threatens to go to the police if Carl doesn't comply. As she spends the money, the situation escalates. Ultimately, they both decide to take action. This changes everything. It was like poison; it got into our bloodstream.Normal life became something obscene.We couldn't see straight. I lost you in the haze.Neighbours hear banging through the walls of this doorless maze.A dark cloud hanging like a fur coat.In limbo, awaiting the verdict. Words inspired by Reward to Finder The story highlights a familiar scenario we may have encountered in various situations. The arrival of money can often trigger possessiveness, control, greed, and envy, causing relationships to crumble. This can happen dramatically, as depicted in the story, or gradually over time. Over time, resentments build up, stories take hold in the characters' minds, beliefs shift, values change, and people stop seeing people. Instead, they see obstacles, hindrances, opportunities, and gold mines. But perhaps, instead of bringing about fundamental changes, money reveals what was already there. But The Money Can Make a Positive Difference It was interesting to notice how my personal response to the prompt had a negative flavour. This attitude might be called "Why does money always ruin good things?" There are many examples of this. But I wanted to explore how money can positively change everything. That would be the first place people go in response to the prompt. An unexpected gift that took the pressure off or saved the day, approval for the loan that got the business off the ground, or the grant that transformed the community. What Would You Choose To Do If Money Wasn't an Obstacle? What Would You Choose To Do If Money Wasn't an Obstacle? is a classic coaching question. But it's also an interesting one to dissect. The responses seem to vary depending on whether having a vision precedes the availability of funds or vice versa. On one hand, we may ask, "What is something you would love to do but can't due to a lack of resources?" Perhaps there is a particular project you would love to undertake, a place you would like to visit, or changes you would like to make. In other words, if you had the money, you would know exactly what to spend it on. For me, it's finishing my album. Incidentally, if you have £5000 lying around (or know someone who does), gimme a shout! The other way of reading the question is, "If you suddenly came into a chunk of money, what would you do with it?" It's the "What would you do if you won the lottery?" question. Responses tend to be more vague. We would "probably" buy this or that, replace some stuff, give it away, or invest it. The possibilities are broader, but they are also potentially less focused. A Highly Sensitive Drive To Enable There was a thread in our discussion as we imagined the difference money could make in enabling desirable stuff to emerge in the world around us. Once the bills are taken care of and there's enough yarn to knit with, we might look beyond our personal situation and into families, neighbourhoods, and communities, where money could change things for good. Unconditional Giving This opened a conversation about gifts. Some people love giving but are uncomfortable receivi...

It's Thriller Thursday and this week it's a story published in 1957 in the hardback anthology, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories They Wouldn't Let Me Do On TV”. Written by Arthur Williams, the story was also used and adapted for “The Late Alfred Hitchcock Presents” radio show for the BBC in 2010 as part of the five part series of dramatizations of stories deemed too unsuitable for the original Alfred Hitchcock Presents television series. If Alfred Hitchcock liked it this much, and the TV networks thought it was too much for audiences in the mid 1950's… I can only assume it will be just perfect for our consumption.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Being a Murderer Myself” by Arthur Williams, from the anthology “Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories They Wouldn't Let Me Do On TV”: https://amzn.to/2U59cIYWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

It's March 12th, National Alfred Hitchcock Day!  To quote the Hitchcock Festival website: "It is not the birthday or the death of Hitchcock, and it is unclear why it is celebrated on this date."

Tons of sinuous muscle, buried in fetid Venusian slime, he knew how to survive. Equipped with an ageless brain and lightning instincts, he also knew how to die! Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today marks the debut of author Bryce Walton on the podcast. Walton was born in 1918 in tiny Blythedale, Missouri, population about 300 when he was born. He wrote nearly 100 short stories but wasn't recognized as one of the great sci-fi authors of the 1940s and 50s. However, he was credited several times as a writer for Alfred Hitchcock Presents which aired from 1955 to 1962.From Planet Stories Magazine in Winter 1946, turn to page 77 for, Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They wandered the dead and fragile cities, looking for the legendary Blue Bottle–not knowing what it was, nor caring, not really wanting to find it… ever… Death-Wish by Ray Bradbury.Buy me a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVMerchandise - https://lostscifi.creator-spring.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgyNZ7w5w7O714NHkRv5psAFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/lost_sci_fiSign up for our newsletter https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/266431/102592606683269000/share Hosted on Acast.

In this installment, insurance man Joe Rogers investigates a woman whose previous two husbands died under mysterious circumstances. And it looks like she's preparing to marry again. Then, Al indulges in a little Easy Virtue.

In this installment, Steve Morgan becomes a number...number 22...when he is arrested and enters a police line-up. Steve thinks it's a game but it is more serious than Steve thinks. Then, Al counts down from Number Twenty-Two to Number Seventeen.

My guest this week is Karel Bouley. Back in the 90s, Karel and his partner Andrew Howard were the first openly queer couple to host a major market drive time radio show in the US. And after Andrew unexpectedly passed away in the early 2000s, Karel helped change California laws around suing for wrongful death. For leaving a mark in those and many other ways, the city of Long Beach will recognize the couple with a ceremony next week, adding them to the local wall of fame in Harvey Milk Plaza. I talked to Karel about his inspirations, getting into radio, and how Barbra Streisand gave him something to aspire to.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First, a couple quick reminders, starting with a heads-up that my new video about Psycho and the creation of Norman Bates is now live — check that out on my YouTube channel. Also, I hope you'll join me for weekly livestreams over on Twitch every Sunday afternoon at twitch.tv/mattbaume. We just did a watch-along of some excellent episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and we'll be enjoying some very gay Halloween specials this weekend.And if you haven't yet, take a look at my new book about the history of queer characters on sitcoms, Hi Honey, I'm Homo! — available now wherever books are sold.

I'm speaking this week with Wilson Paulino, who co-hosts the Wilferland podcast with his partner Fernando. Wilson grew up in a pretty idyllic tourist town in the Dominican Republic, where life was good … as long as he didn't talk about who he really was. Quietly closeted, he watched gay couples on American TV shows, living lives that seemed impossibly far away. But meeting his partner helped open a new chapter for them both — one that bears surprising resemblance to some of their favorite fictional queer heroes.We'll have that conversation in a minute.

In honor of the start of October, the spookiest month, this week we're diving into the Sewers of Paris archives to hear my 2015 interview with Jamie Mauer, who you may also know as Rantasmo, the creator of the Needs More Gay YouTube series. Jamie grew up loving unsettling stories — like a lot of queer people. For those of us who feel pressure to hide their true selves, horror and fantasy — and particularly Halloween — provide a chance to trade one mask for another, be someone new, and scare everyone else for a change.
