Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 340, we're diving into What's Love Got to Do with It, the powerhouse hit that cemented Tina Turner's epic comeback. From a song she initially didn't even like to a Grammy-winning, chart-topping anthem that redefined her career at 44, we explore how this “anti-love song” became one of the biggest singles of 1984 and inspired a hit biopic starring Angela Bassett. It's the story behind the voice, the video, and the legacy of a track that proved love had everything to do with it after all.

TVC 726.3: Ed welcomes Jennifer Jones, the first African-American member of the world renowned Radio City Rockettes, and an award-winning performer who is celebrated for her pioneering achievements and unwavering advocacy for equal rights in the arts. Jennifer's memoir, Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from The First African-American Rockette, not only tells the story of how she helped establish a transformative era for The Rockettes while inspiring other black dancers, but also recounts her triumphant battle against colorectal cancer in 2018. March is both Women's History Month and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Becoming Spectacular is available wherever books are sold through Amistad Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. Topics this segment include how Jennifer's faith helped her overcome some of the challenges she faced during her early days with the Rockettes; how she knew, from a young age, that she wanted to perform on stage; and how conquering self-doubt is like peeling away layers of an onion. For our listeners in the Greater L.A. Metro area, Jennifer Jones' story is also included in This Joint is Jumpin', a new exhibit at The Hollywood Museum that honors the contributions of many notable black artists, singers, actors, writers, and sports figures, including Whitney Houston, Lena Horne, Denzel Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, The Pointer Sisters, Dionne Warwick, Forrest Whitaker, Wesley Snipes, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Angela Bassett, Muhammad Ali, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Viola Davis, Diana Ross, and Oprah Winfrey.

In 1995, a film predicted POV recording technology, VR experiences you can buy on the black market, deepfake manipulation, police brutality caught on camera, and a society addicted to experiencing other people's lives through a screen. It starred Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, and was written by James Cameron. Almost nobody saw it.   Strange Days bombed at the box office, nearly destroyed Kathryn Bigelow's career, and has been virtually impossible to find ever since, as right now no streaming service carries it. But everything it warned us about has come true, and somehow the reality is worse than the fiction.   MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis make the case for why this is one of the most important sci-fi films ever made. We get into the SQUID tech that directly inspired Cyberpunk 2077's Braindances, the darkest plot device in sci-fi, Ralph Fiennes as the perfect cyberpunk noir anti-hero, Angela Bassett's tragically wasted career as an action star, the Rodney King and OJ parallels baked into the script, and a long conversation about how AI, social media, and surveillance culture have made this film more relevant than ever.   Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars in 1995 and called it a future cult classic. He was right. Again.   Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code FOURPLAY at https://shopmando.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We are joined this week by author, screen writer, and friend of the show, Briana Cox to talk about Ryan Coogler's endeavors under the banner of the Marvel Cinematic universe: Black Panther 1 and 2. Both movies feature Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, among many others. Looking back we discuss the impact the first film had on the culture, our love/hate relationship with the first film and the failures of the second, how both movies sugar coat the CIA's history of violating the sovereignty of African nations, and one of the most important thing the movies did was open mainstream audiences to the beauty of Afrofuturism.To check out some of the works mentioned during the episode, follow these links:Born in FlamesSpace is the PlaceNaked RealityBeasts of the Southern WildSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseSpider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseInto the Mother Lands: An Afrofuturist TTRPGGuest LinksOfficial WebsitePreorder Indigent!Briana on InstagramBriana on ThreadsLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's...

CW: Police brutality, racism, and sexual assault discussed in relation to the plot and themes of the film. After an extended (and accidental) hiatus, Masie & Stuart are finally back with a new monthly schedule to dissect the unfortunately topical 1995 Kathryn Bigelow cyberpunk action film Strange Days. Starring Ralph Fiennes as the most pathetic ex-cop ever dealing street illegal VR-esque tech on New Year's Eve in the near future 1999, Strange Days is a shockingly prescient film in its portrayal of the evils of police brutality and racism. Does it nail its conclusions on these topics though? And does Angela Bassett slay so hard that its easy to overlook those faults?

This week, Brandon and Jane watch the 1995 classic, Waiting to Exhale. This movie has it all! An all star cast featuring Angela Bassett and Whitney Houston, a bestselling Terry McMillan novel as source material, and a soundtrack written by Babyface that really showed us all how the songs that underscore a film could tell their own story in thoughtful and succinct ways. We laugh, we think, and we ponder the true meaning of friendship! Listen wherever you get your pods! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The teaming of Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron is always a potent proposition, as the former married couple are both heavyweight directors in their own right. This should have made their 1995 collaboration Strange Days--a dystopian cyberthriller set on the eve of Y2K starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett and Juliette Lewis--a surefire smash. Unfortunately, the movie's hot button political themes and pitch black tone didn't translate to boffo box office, and to this day it remains frustratingly unavailable stateside in a high definition format. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they jack in, fire up some playback and ring in the new year with this underappreciated and chillingly topical sci fi classic.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we take a deep look at Our Friend, Martin (1999), the powerful animated film that introduces young audiences to the life, leadership, and moral courage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The film follows two middle school friends who are magically transported through time, meeting Dr. King at pivotal moments in his life. By blending animation with real historical events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, Our Friend, Martin makes civil rights history accessible, personal, and deeply human. We discuss why this film still matters today, how it communicates the principles of nonviolence, equality, and compassion, and why its message extends far beyond the classroom. Featuring an extraordinary voice cast including Ed Asner, Angela Bassett, LeVar Burton, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones, Oprah Winfrey, and Dexter King as the voice of his father, the film stands as a rare and thoughtful piece of historical storytelling. This episode explores the lasting lessons of Dr. King's legacy and reminds us that progress is not just something we study from the past, but something we carry forward through our own actions every day.

The popular app Instacart charged customers different prices on the same items bought from the same stores, an investigation from Consumer Reports and progressive think tank Groundwork Collaborative found. Instacart responded, saying, "These tests are not dynamic pricing. Prices never change in real time," adding, "retailers have long tested prices in their physical stores," and saying that 10 retail partners do so in the app. Jo Ling Kent has more. Following the death of her daughter, a mother turned her grief into action to help make button batteries harder for kids to access - but the law that passed didn't apply to toys. She tried to get the Consumer Product Safety Commission to apply the standard to toys, but the effort stalled over the summer. The agency has lost key leadership and staff, and now two former CPSC commissioners are issuing warnings to consumers. The iconic movie "Waiting to Exhale," starring Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon premiered 30 years ago this month. The film, which had an all Black cast and focused on female empowerment, was a box office hit.

Virtual reality, Y2K paranoia, and noir-drenched chaos—it's all wired into Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days (1995). Ralph Fiennes plays a black-market memory dealer caught in a web of murder, conspiracy, and past trauma, while Angela Bassett brings the fire as a bodyguard with a conscience (and some serious action chops). Set in the final hours of 1999, the film is a pulsing, POV-shot thrill ride through a dystopian Los Angeles, where technology lets you feel someone else's memories—and the truth is more dangerous than anything on tape. It's messy, bold, and weirdly ahead of its time.

The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, both commercially and critically.  Their 30 million album sales worldwide makes a strong case for their importance to the alternative rock movement.  The band was formed in Chicago by guitarist James Iha, bassist D'arcy Wretzky, percussionist Jimmy Chamberlin, and frontman/guitarist Billy Corgan.  Corgan writes much of their material and has been the sole member to be continuously present in the group since their formation.In 1995, Billy Corgan wrote about 56 songs and wanted to creat a double album.  His vision was for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to be "The Wall for Generation X."  The album was intended to be a conceptual piece portraying the cycle of life and death.  The band brought in Flood and Alan Moulder to co-produce the album.  Flood had the band change its routine for this album, having the group start recording in the rehearsal space rather than the studio in order to better capture their live sound.  He also required the band to set aside time in each day for just jamming and song writing in order to keep the process from becoming a grind.The result of this effort was both a critical and commercial success.  "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200, the only Smashing Pumpkins album to do so thus far.  The 28 songs spanning two CD's, and three vinyl LP's earned the band nominations in seven categories at the Grammy Awards, and the band won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal for the single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."Lynch brings us this smashing multi-album for today's podcast. 1979The second single from the album features loops and samples, more of a synth-pop sound than had been present previously in Smashing Pumpkin songs.  According to Corgan, this song was the last of the 56 songs he wrote for the album.  The lyrics paint a picture of the transition from youth to adulthood, waiting for something to happen just around the corner.Bullet with Butterfly WingsThe lead single from the album was the band's first top 40 hit in the United States, reaching number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Musically this track has a more grunge vibe than alt rock.  The lyrics are a somewhat overly dramatic portrayal of the pain that comes from being a rock star and the downsides of fame.ZeroThe shortest song on the album relates to a feeling of apathy, and being let down by emotions and spirituality.  "Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness."  Corrigan's signature look is a black shirt with the word "ZERO" printed on the front.Tonight, TonightThe symphonic orchestration of this song shows some of the diversity of the tracks on this album.  The inspiration for this song is Corgan's departure from Chicago to pursue his dreams, leaving an abusive childhood behind.  The Chicago Symphony Orchestra participated in the recording with a 30-piece string section.  This song went to number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 7 on the UK Singles chart. STAFF PICKS:Downtown by Neil YoungRob open this week's staff picks with a grunge piece from the Godfather of Grunge.  Members of the band Pearl Jam provide the backing instrumentation for this song and the album "Mirror Ball."  The lyrics reference Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, and hippies doing the Charleston and the Limbo.Lump by The Presidents of the United States of AmericaWayne's staff pick is about a woman who is on the singer's mind like a lump of cancer in his brain.  Clocking in at about 2 minutes, this is more of a punk song than alt rock or grunge.Hard as a Rock by AC/DCGregg brings us the first and most successful single from AC/DC's thirteenth studio album "Ballbreaker."  This album marks the return of drummer Phil Rudd to the band for the first time since 1983.  This song has a more blues-oriented sound than the heavy metal sound more typical of their well-known songs from the 80's.   LEI (Laugh/Entertainment/Instrumental)  TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture "Strange Days"This science fiction film noir movie starring Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett takes us out of this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?NXTGen”NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

“This is your life. Right here. Right now.” Before it became one of the most underrated sci-fi films of the 1990s, STRANGE DAYS was just a few scribbles in a notebook. In Part 1 of our deep dive, we trace the film's journey from James Cameron's original 1985 concept through its years in development and the real-world chaos that helped inspire Kathryn Bigelow's vision of a crumbling millennium. We explore how Cameron and Bigelow collaborated with screenwriter Jay Cocks to shape the film's story, how Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett were cast, and how Bigelow brought the gritty streets of Los Angeles to life—shooting almost entirely on location and inventing new camera rigs to create groundbreaking first-person POV sequences. We'll take you all the way through the final days of production, including the now-legendary New Year's Eve shoot involving 10,000 extras, 50 cops, and at least a few rave casualties. This is Strange Days, Part 1: the story of how a bold, unclassifiable, and wildly ahead-of-its-time film came to be.
