Phil Roy has written songs for some of the greats, including Ray Charles, Aaron Neville, and Joe Cocker, and Mavis Staples, and songs for two Academy Award-winning films: Leaving Las Vegas and As Good As It Gets. He co-wrote one of his songs, Melt, with his long-time friend, Nicolas Cage. Phil was born and raised in Philadelphia, and attended Berklee College of Music as a guitar major. It was around then he first took an interest in songwriting. He moved to LA in 1981 and almost immediately got signed to Warner Brothers records with his band Carrera. In 1987 he became a staff songwriter. In 2000 he self-released his album Grouchyfriendly - it won “Independent Album of the Year” from Musician's Atlas Magazine. He has since released three more solo albums: Issues + Options in 2003, The Great Longing in 2005, and In The Weird Small Hours in 2009, which won a “Concept Album of the Year” by the Independent Music Awards.
It's summer, the sun is blazing, and we only have one thing on our minds - the upcoming thirtieth anniversary of the high-octane, expertly paced thriller The Fugitive, originally released August 6, 1993 starring Harrison Ford. Oh, and Medicare for All. We're always thinking about Medicare for All. Now that we mention it, isn't it funny how if we had a single-payer healthcare system, The Fugitive wouldn't exist? In a single-payer system, there would have been no nefarious pharmaceutical executive to frame Harrison Ford for murder in order to cover up the side effects of Provasic. There would have been no need for Walter White to cook meth in order to pay for his cancer treatment. In fact, a lot of our favorite movies and TV shows would be entirely without conflict. In this episode, we take a look at a uniquely American subgenre: movies where our healthcare system is the villain! Plus, we dip into the Healthcare-NOW mailbag to hear from our listeners about your favorite movies where for-profit healthcare is the bad guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKat9vjm7tI SPOILER ALERT. Some of these movies are masterpieces, and we'll be discussing spoilers. Seriously, we advise that you pause the podcast and watch Dog Day Afternoon now. Let's discuss the uniquely American film genre that depicts the healthcare industry as the villain. One of the biggest healthcare villain blockbusters was, of course, The Fugitive (1993). Our hero Dr. Richard Kimball is falsely accused of murdering his wife. He escapes police custody and along the way uncovers the truth, that he was framed by an evil pharmaceutical executive who killed Mrs. Kimball to cover up the side effects of a profitable new drug. Fun fact: Tommy Lee Jones was the former college roommate of Vice President Al Gore. The term “healthcare industry” dates back to the 1970s, and so does the reality of for-profit healthcare. Major transformations of our healthcare system have created real-life nightmares and impossible situations for patients, and that growing widespread experience of a healthcare dystopia then creates an audience for Hollywood script writers to build drama around healthcare situations. Two of the films submitted by our members come from the very beginning of the “healthcare industry,” in the early 1970s: The Hospital (1971) stars George C. Scott and Diana Rigg. A serial killer targets doctors by making them patients in their own hospital, where they die due to hospital negligence. CW: weird sexual politics. Dog Day Afternoon (1975) starring Al Pacino and John Cazale, dramatizes a true story of two Brooklyn bank robbers, motivated to steal to pay for gender reassignment surgery for Pacino's character's partner. In 2015, real life dad Bryan Randolph of Detroit robbed a bank to pay for his 1-year-old daughter's cancer treatment after his health insurance canceled her plan. The next explosion of healthcare plots comes in the 1990s and early 2000s, when “managed care” plans and HMOs spread like wildfire, replacing traditional insurance. Intended to bring down rising healthcare costs, managed care brought us such classics as prior authorization, widespread claim denials and limited networks. This kicked off a new wave of films in the 1990s that start using health insurance villains become key plot points. The failed Clinton health reform efforts also happened in 1994, which created probably a sense of hopelessness around Congress fixing these problems. As Good As It Gets (1997): This cringefest features Jack Nicholson as a cranky, bigoted and obsessive compulsive writer. Nicholson's character can only eat at one restaurant, where he meets waitress Helen Hunt, and pays for her child's cancer treatment so she can continue to work and serve him. All kinds of toxicity, sexism, and structural inequities on display in this one. Patch Adams (1998): features Robin Williams in a real life story about a doctor whose unorthodox ways bump up agai...

On today's episode, we're heading over to St. Bernard's Academy for homeroom, cast some spells to get our deepest wishes, and we're also going to invoke the spirit, while we revisit the 90s teen horror flick, The Craft (1996). This movie was directed by Andrew Fleming, and was co-written by Peter Filardi and Andrew Fleming.This movie stars Robin Tunney (Empire Records, Prison Break), Fairuza Balk (The Worst Witch, Return to Oz), Neve Campbell (Scream, Wild Things), and Rachel True (Nowhere, Embrace of the Vampire). Also included in the cast are Skeet Ulrich (Riverdale, As Good As It Gets), Breckin Meyer (Clueless, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare), and Cliff DeYoung (Dr. Giggles, Shock Treatment).This movie has its highs and lows, for sure. If anything, it's an example of a horror movie that explores the idea and world of witchcraft, and is an example of a decent mid-90s horror flick. This movie is also an absolute sleepover movie (especially for young women and probably queer folks), so it has a certain place in the hearts of the fans that grew up with it. It's worth a watch if you've never seen it, and for a horror fan, definitely should be on the list to watch, as well.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

The study of classic and contemporary films can provide a powerful avenue to understand the experience of mental illness. In Madness at the Movies: Understanding Mental Illness through Film (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), James Charney, MD, a practicing psychiatrist and long-time cinephile, examines films that delve deeply into characters' inner worlds, and he analyzes moments that help define their particular mental illness. Based on the highly popular course that Charney taught at Yale University and the American University of Rome, Madness at the Movies introduces readers to films that may be new to them and encourages them to view these films in an entirely new way. Through films such as Psycho, Taxi Driver, Through a Glass Darkly, Night of the Hunter, A Woman Under the Influence, Ordinary People, and As Good As It Gets, Charney covers an array of disorders, including psychosis, paranoia, psychopathy, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety. He examines how these films work to convey the essence of each illness. He also looks at how each film reflects the understanding of mental illness at the time it was released as well as the culture that shaped that understanding. Charney explains how to observe the behaviors displayed by characters in the films, paying close attention to signs of mental illness. He demonstrates that learning to read a film can be as absorbing as watching one. By viewing these films through the lens of mental health, readers can hone their observational skills and learn to assess the accuracy of depictions of mental illness in popular media. Melek Firat Altay is a neuroscientist, biologist and musician. Her research focuses on deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Justice for Melissa! This week we're giving some much overdue love to Jami Gertz's award-winning performance as Bill Paxton's woefully neglected fiancé in peril in 1996's “Twister.” But first, we have a lot of feelings about Helen Hunt, especially her Oscar winning accent in “As Good As It Gets.” Plus: Best Supporting Aunt Meg with those obscene plates of steak and eggs, Tàr director Todd Field, Philip Seymour Hoffman at his crunchiest, a Shelley Duvall cameo, apparently Anthony Rapp and so many Dodge Caravans.

March is still going to the dogs and in this week's movie we have the most exceptional doggy star! We are covering As Good As It Gets which stars Jack Nicholson as Melvin and unpleasant, obsessive, curmudgeon who insists on making everyone's life miserable except for Carol, played by Helen Hunt, his crush who also happens to wait tables at the diner he frequents. Also thrown into the mix are a gay neighbor, a 'take no shit' art dealer and a cute dog named Verdell, played by Jill the Dog. In this episode: we explore how we feel about forehead licks (based on our stance around forehead kisses, not good), Corinne explains the multiple uses you can get from the Indigo Girls music catalogue (aka lady bait), and Tamara undercharges for her services as a freelance detective. We wouldn't trade this episode for all the noodle salad in the world but we will ask is this As Good As It Gets? Yes, yes it is.
This was one of the more unusual podcasts in memory - mainly because it was on my birthday, and I had the profound experience of being with my friend Luana Anders on my birthday. Here, Luana left the planet in 1996, and being able to ask her questions and get answers, as well as ask her to give her Oscar's speech - is mind bending. Jennifer and I have been doing this for 8 years. Luana has appeared to members of my family (when they'd never met her, but could identify her) as well as other friends. She was in over 300 TV shows and films, and was mentioned by Jack Nicholson in his speech for "As Good As It Gets." Luana moderates our podcast from the flipside. But before I get to her speech, Princess Diana showed up to talk about the event when she is mentioned in Prince Harry's book SPARE. How she not only orchestrated that event, but orchestrated Jennifer being in a restaurant with some friends, was in the midst of talking about Harry's report about her showing up via a medium (in his book "Spare") and then while talking about Diana, Harry and Meghan showed up in the restaurant. She had a profound message for both her boys, to paraphrase, it's to "focus on love." To have unconditional love for each other, as well as their father - and moreover to be aware that everyone is going through troubles and difficulties, but if one can love themselves, then they can love others unconditionally - it's as profound a concept and statement about love as I've ever recorded. Then Jennifer correctly predicts that "Everything Everywhere" would win many awards (that was widely predicted, but Jennifer hadn't seen it) just as last week's podcast when I asked Carl Laemmle (who purchased the rights to the original "All Quiet on the Western Front" when head of the company he founded Universal pictures) how many awards would they win? Or if the screenwriter who saw a vision she would win an Oscar for the film was correct - Carl said she was, and indeed, she did. He said it would win three, it actually won four. It's not that Jennifer was right or wrong, as the question was asked to Carl. The future doesn't exist, there are likely outcomes, just pointing out that even Carl on the flipside, who said it would win three, was off by one. It happens. Again - we're demonstrating how simple it is to speak to loved ones on the flipside. So in light of asking my pal Luana what she might have said had she won an Oscar, she said: "I would like to say to all of those viewers out there... how much I love what I do. I loved what I did there, I love what I do here... I love the intersections, the intercrossings.. all the directors, the actors, the people that feed them... how it takes everything, every unique talent and every situation -- that connects us all. If everybody knew that this was a play; that you are here in front of me and you are one of the actors in my play and I'm one of the actors in your play, wouldn't we get along better if we knew we had to be clothed and fed and taking care of each other? And maybe "The Union" was God? Or whatever (term) to keep things going? It could be that simple. We make it so difficult to care for one another. Why can't we just care for everyone? I just want everyone to know that we are all in this together and I'm grateful for everyone who is listening, from afar to here. To those that don't know us yet, to those that will never know us - when you bring up your abilities to wake up, to be connected, to know you are connected... Then anything else can be a little bit easier. Just be who you are and know you have an important part in everybody's play." Luana was a lifelong Buddhist, a member of SGI here in Los Angeles, along with her pals Herbie Hancock, Tina Turner, the late Wayne Shorter - and I know Jennifer well enough to know that she would not have given her Oscar speech in this fashion, but I know for a fact that it is in line with everything that Luana believed in when she was on the planet, and chanted for on a daily basis. Our loved ones are with us. Try to not forget that. But also try to remember, we are all actors in each other's plays - try to love without conditions.

Chick flick? Action film? Disaster Film? Drama? Soft porn? This movie is truly everything, and even the humor throughout truly do land, for me, at least. After my high school years when I finally grew up, I was able to freely admit that Titanic is not only one of the greatest films ever made, but also one of my all time favorite films. My top 10 can change on a daily basis, but usually, this one stays up there pretty consistently. I'll never forget when this movie hit theaters at the end of 1997. My sister was either visiting from college or was about to go off to San Diego in the spring. I was in junior high and she had her own life, so the family wasn't together much in those days because, well, that's how it happens when you start to build your own social groups. That whole week leading up to our showtime at Regal Edwards Stadium in Valencia, CA. The memory is so close to me I can reach out and just about touch it. We might have grabbed dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Don Cuco's first. But I remember it was night as it was mid-December and the streets lights were lined with Christmas lights and Christmas wreaths. So I was already pumped full of excitement for Christmas just around the corner, but I think I might have been more excited for Titanic. All week I'd been glued to the news watching live interviews of people walking out of the film, absolutely praising it to high heaven. Women were in tears, teenagers were glowing, young boys were hooping and hollering. The world was right because the Titanic was once again afloat majestically on the sea of the silver screens across the world. Jack Dawson was alive forever, no matter what the movie tried to tell us about his fate. I remember all four of us in our gold Toyota minivan, those vans that looked like an Orca whale, I always thought. My dad, at one point early on the trip, exclaimed like the captain of a ship: "Ahoy! Away we go!" My sister rolled her eyes, I giggled with excitement. I may have been growing out of childish things, but I would never grow out of the thrill of a new movie that was about to change the world. Granted, I didn't know James Cameron going into Titanic. I wasn't yet aware of Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet or even Kathy Bates of Billy Zane. This was a totally new cast to me. It was akin to a monster movie anyway, you show up for the monster, not the actors. The monster in Titanic, of course, was a gentle giant gliding though the Atlantic like battle-ready seraph seeking to bring all onboard to the safety of the New York port. I just wanted to get to the safety of the movie theater, my butt planted, my bladder empty, and a ship-shaped box of popcorn in my lap that would likely be eaten before the final preview ended twenty-five minutes after the lights dimmed. The movie happened, and thought I don't know the names of everyone in that crowded theater, I can tell you that no one was the same that night. Titanic wasn't a mere movie to kill 90 minutes with like Mouse Hunt playing for the kids and poor parents next door. Jack Nicholson was yucking it up with racial slurs in As Good As It Gets in the theater across the hall. For those who got to the box office after the last Titanic ticket sold out, Spielberg's ship movie Ammistad was playing as another sea voyage option. Pierce Brosnan was shooting it up in his second Bond outing at the time Titanic was in theaters in Tomorrow Never Dies. Hollywood never looked better than 1996 and 1997, and we were still in for plenty of surprises in 1998. Quality would Peter off in 1999 and then for the next decade or so moving forward. But for now, life - at least life through the big screen - was good. And now, 26 years later, I've been making it a point to watch Titanic annually for the last few years, because it's too good of a movie to just let slip through your fingers. I'm not sure how many people out there love it as much as I do. Sure, the CGI people on the wide shots of the ship's deck are super obvious, but that can easily be overlooked because the script, as simple of a love story as it is, is so tightly written and the characters are so engaging (perhaps because you know their fate going into the film). You may not realize it, but James Horner's score does to this movie what John Williams' does to Star Wars: It elevates a great film to an excellent film. The Southampton track alone is enough to rival E.T. and Jurassic Park. And yeah, it was overplayed in the late 90's, but you've got to admit, when you hear Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," your mind is taken instantly to snapshots of this film. That's what a great feature song is supposed to do. I hadn't seen Aliens or Terminator 2 when I first saw Titanic. These are earlier films directed by James Cameron. These are movies I finally got to experience as an older teenager. Sure, I'd seen the motor bike chase scene in the wash a bunch of times on TV, but the commercials would come on and force my hand to change the channel back to Fresh Prince. Aliens and T2, of course, are both classic movies whose appeal to older teens and sci-fi/horror buffs will never die. So of course I was excited to see Avatar after Cameron came out of hibernation, but that movie disappointed me so bad that my viewing party unanimously agreed to turn it off with about 40 minutes left to go (and this was after speeding it up several times). Most people who like Avatar really only like it because of the visual effects. I'm sorry, but the visual effects have never been enough for me to keep me invested in what I paid for - the story and characters. No amount of crayons and digital paintings can keep me watching if the story sucks. If I wanted to watch pretty pictures move around I'd go to an art gallery and have my kids run around with the paintings. I haven't seen Kate Winslet in many other things other than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and admittedly I need to go back and re-watch that film since I don't remember it much - I guess it's become spotless in my mind. But I'll focus here on the other lead. I've since gained much respect for our dear Leonardo DiCaprio. He did this and Romeo + Juliet (a film you couldn't pay me to watch), and like a college kid exploring drugs, he did it and moved on. He moved on from the pretty-boy image to more serious, grown-up rolls. I first took notice of his range and ability in the masterpiece Catch Me If You Can. From there he went on to do The Departed, The Revenant, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, just to name a few standout films. You can tell Leo is still earning his acting legs in Titanic, but he really does keep up with his more experienced ensemble here. I mean, holding the stage with the great Kathy Bates cannot be an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. I don't have time to go into every actor's role here, but let's just say, everyone is at their best here. And I've heard that many people are annoyed when Billy Zane is chasing Jack and Rose down through the lobby of the sinking ship shooting at them with a pistol, but I loved that extra bit of tension. It shows just how deranged and vengeful he is, that he's not content to leave their fate up to the unforgiving ocean. He has to kill Jack himself, even at the cost of his own life. That's what I'm talking about: James Cameron packs in as much excitement and tension and human drama as possible to make this sinking ship even more exciting and visually stunning than it already is. Over the past few months I feel like I've been on a sinking ship, and it has not felt stunning or glamorous at all. I've been waiting on doctors to give me a date and POA about my heart surgery that's been looming over me for nearly a year now. I got fired from my job that I absolutely loved. Internal family issues have been a big source of our growing sadness. I've learned things about certain people in my past that I cannot overlook. Have you ever felt like you're in a sinking ship? You're like the captain, and you look around and realized there's nothing you can do but wait for the water to crash in through the windows and swallow you up for eternity. One of the greatest things about Jesus is that He practically promises that life is going to suck and things will be hard. Never, ever does He say if you trust in Me, your life will go well. He doesn't even promise an easy life for those who reject Him. Life is going to suck for everyone at some point or another. And for some, the ship will just continue to sink from birth until the day they die. Others might experience a righting of a capsized ship for a time. But there's still water in the galley. Damage has been done. It's still going to go down. But the beauty of this film is that it does't end there. Not for Rose, anyway. When the elderly Rose remembers the Titanic in the final frames - Okay, I do hate the part where Old Rose goes "Oops" and drops the necklace in the ocean, that was awkwardly delivered like it should have been in a sitcom. But that's nothing compared to what the ending could have been. Do me a huge favor. After you're done with this podcast, go on YouTube and look up "Titanic - Alternate Ending." This will shock you, it will crack you up, and you will absolutely be stunned. You'll also be grateful someone had the courage to talk James Cameron out of letting this be the final version of Titanic, and I can almost guarantee that if this were the ending, we would not be talking about this magnificent film today. Not to mention, goodbye, Oscars. Anyway, the beauty of this film is that it doesn't end with the ship going down. At least not for Rose. When the elderly Rose remembers the Titanic in the final frames, she remembers it as it once was, with the warm lights, the smiling faces, the classical ambiance in the background, the hot steaming shrimp platters and broiled chicken. Children looking over the edge, gazing at the endless black ocean which they thought they'd never touch. Couples walking hand in hand.When I look back on the darkest of days, there was always a friend or two. People bringing us food, sending Bible verses, long conversations over chips and salsa, or phone talks aimed at pointing me in the right direction. A hug from my wife goes father than anything else in the world in the darkest of days. My kids saying "I love you," or making a pop-up card with Spider-Man drawn inside can light up the darkest recesses of my heart, if I let it. Yeah, Jesus promised life would suck. But He also promised we'd never be alone, those who trust in Him. And let's just say that everyone you love gets blown up by a raid from Russia and you're the only survivor. You'd still have the Holy Spirit working inside you. I bet if you look back on your most difficult times, you weren't really alone ever. In fact, you might have had too many people pestering you to offer you care and support. Everyone's on a sinking ship. It's called mortality. Not one valuable thing is going to last in this world. Not the Heart of the Ocean. Not your iPhone. Not even that Chinese stickman sitting on your shelf that's supposedly a family heirloom from when your grandfather fought in Vietnam. Life sucks, nothing lasts, but like the movie Titanic, all will end well for those who believe in Jesus as their savior. How do I know this? Can I prove it to you? I mean, I can show you a bunch of Bible verses, but ultimately it just comes down to childlike faith. I've been in the place where I had nothing and nobody, and I had no one else to turn to but God. It was a tough pill to swallow because I really, really hated Him. I cursed Him out on a daily basis, I mocked my wife for believing in Jesus. I despised church and everyone who worked for it. Either way, my ship was sinking. So did I want some help or not? I called on God and asked Jesus to help me. Parts of my life got better, sure. But ultimately, life still sucks. The bills keep getting bigger, the economy still crashed, I still lost my job for reasons 100% outside my control, I still fight with my wife and kids. But now at least, I'm not doing any of it alone. The thing I hate about talking about Christian stuff is that sometimes it just sounds like meaningless platitudes. You've heard people saying forever that some pizza is the greatest pizza in the world. But you truly don't understand how good a Chi Chi's Pizza is until you actually try it. You don't know what great, epic, 90's filmmaking is until you watch Titanic, or Braveheart. Or, like the elderly Rose at the beginning of the movie says after the bearded guy on the ship describes how the Titanic went down with the use of 90's computer graphics. She says, "Thank you for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Bodee. Of course, the experience of it was ... somewhat different." I can tell you as someone who hated God, Bible verses were like pois on to me. I inwardly reacted to anything Scriptural the way Superman does to Kryptonite. But it's a very different experience when you enter into the faith and family of Jesus. Suddenly, it clicks, and the words of Scripture aren't just meaningless Hallmark well-wishes. They cut deep, speak to your soul, mend wounds that no words from mortals can utter. Your life, like mine, is a sinking ship. Soon, we'll each be buried, some scattered at sea. We hit the iceberg the second we were born. There's no escaping the rising waters. There's no slowing down time. But we can certainly build good memories while there still is time. Though the water may be rising around us, we can choose to focus on the ones we love, our family, our friends, those who speak truth into our lives. Much in the way Jack told Rose that she was better than the life she was born into - that she didn't have to continue on in that way, that she had a choice, she could turn from her life and experience something freer, more exhilarating. Just look around for one minute on Twitter, and you'll see quite clearly that the world is sinking, whether its by political disputes, ongoing systemic racism, or quite literally global warming. Jesus promised it would happen. He warned us about the icebergs. We were unable to steer clear. He's provided enough lifeboats to abandon ship, but unfortunately not everyone gets on. Thank you for listening. I'm your host, Andrew Toy, and I'll see you next time on Life Through the Big Screen.

Reid Martin was born and raised in Woodland Hills, California, a suburb of Los Angeles located in the San Fernando Valley. After graduating from California State University, Northridge with a B.A. in Radio, Television, & Film, Reid got his start in the entertainment industry working as an apprentice editor on the Tom Hanks comedy, Bachelor Party. For the next several years, he worked as an assistant editor and sound editor on a dozen or so feature films before landing a job in motion picture advertising cutting and producing movie trailers and television spots for more than 200 films, including Unforgiven, Batman Forever, As Good As It Gets, The Bodyguard, Interview With The Vampire and The Birdcage. In addition to his award-winning work on movie trailers, Reid helped create advertising campaigns for many global brands such as Mcdonald's, Burger King, Quaker Oats, and Volkswagen. He was a professional voice actor for more than a decade. His voice has been featured on numerous radio and television commercials. After a 25-year career as a writer, editor, and producer, Reid and his partner Julian sold their house, put everything into storage, and traveled the world for almost two years. Upon returning to the US, the couple decided to reinvent themselves professionally and, together, embarked on a successful career buying and selling commercial real estate, specializing in multifamily income properties in Las Vegas and southern Nevada. Over the years, Reid and Julian have lived in Palm Springs as well as Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Mexico City, Mexico. The now-married couple just celebrated their 40th anniversary and are currently semi-retired and living with their two Cairn Terriers, Tater & Taffy, in beautiful and vibrant Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain's Catalonia region, is known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Família church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí dot the city. Museu Picasso and Fundació Joan Miró feature modern art by their namesakes. City history museum MUHBA includes several Roman archaeological sites.Support the showIf you enjoy these podcasts, please make a donation by clicking the coffee cup on any page of our website www.wheredogaysretire.com.

Another one of those mind bending sessions. In this case, our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders - LuanaAnders.com showed up with her cat Mr. Bailey. I asked Mr. Bailey the same questions that I ask people that show up - who greeted him on the flipside, what his experience was or is. We started off talking about process, how coincidence is made from those on the flipside, as Luana had shown up today in a article about Jack Nicholson and how he had dedicated his Oscar to her and other friends for "As Good As It Gets." Mind you - that was in 1996. Charles Grodin showed up at first to remind Jennifer that he had helped her the night before with her "Wine and Spirits" event. He said hello and then Luana stepped forward holding her cat. Everything reported in the session is accurate - wife Sherry finding the cat in a tree, and then returning the cat to Luana. We've had numerous conversations with animals on the flipside, and everything Mr. Bailey reported is in line with the other reports. I guess it's important to hear - our pets are not gone either, they're just not here. Available just like everyone is on the flipside. Enjoy.
We are talking about the results of the fan-voted top 104 90s movies. We asked people to vote round by round and reseeded each round so the high seed will always play the low seed.
