“But, have you played lesbian multiple times!?” We're journalists, kids. And we're here with the one and only Beth Broderick. You Might Know Her From Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Lost, Psycho Beach Party, The 5 Mrs Buchanans, Bad Actress, Sharp Objects, Love & Death, Hearts Afire, and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Beth gave us all the goods on playing witch-cum-scientist-cum-CANDLE (!) Zelda Spellman on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the specialness of reprising that role in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 18 years later. We also got to discuss her working relationships with everyone from Marc Cherry to Brad Pitt to her Psycho Beach Party co-star Charles Busch; the wild ride that was the notorious The Bonfire of The Vanities (how tall is Bruce Willis, really?), and how her AIDS activism has connected her to the LGBT community. We had a beautiful conversation with Beth and just in time for Halloweenie! Happy Spooky Season to all you ghouls.

It's one of the biggest bombs in modern movie history; financially, critically, artistically, you name it. It's an infamous mess made all the more fascinating by Julie Salamon's fantastic book (and podcast!) The Devil's Candy, and it still stands as a movie that film nerds love to banter about. For example, in this episode I'm joined by film critic / author / old friend Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey), and we pretty much can't shut up.

He earned his PhD in American Studies from Yale in 1957. Beginning in the 1960s he helped create the enormously influential hybrid of fiction techniques into non-fiction known as the New Journalism.

We end Tom Hanks-uary with an adaptation of Tom Wolfe's seminal '80s classic that ended up being one of the biggest bombs of all time: Bonfire of the Vanities. Movie critic Dustin Rutledge stops by to talk all about Hanks, the bizarre Bruce Willis performance, and that opening shot.Starring Hanks, Bruce Willis, and Melanie Griffith, it follows Hanks as Sherman McCoy, a man at the center of a controversy that's as '80s as it gets. It's one of movies that is such an immense failure, it needs to be seen to be understood.

"The Bonfire of the Vanities" went from one best-selling novels of the 1980s, but the film based on the Tom Wolfe ("The Right Stuff") book would go down as an all-time worst. This edition of the podcast looks at why it failed so historically, despite an A-list cast (Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith) or perhaps that's a major factor for the film's demise. TCM host Ben Mankiewicz and film critic/author Julie Salamon, who host the TCM podcast "The Plot Thickens: The Devil's Candy" (based on Julie's book about the making of the movie) are here for an entertaining debate about the blockbuster flop.  https://theplotthickens.tcm.com

After Lorenzo de Medici's death in 1492, Botticelli gave up painting, abandoned his humanist studies, and became a hardcore fundamentalist Christian. As did a lot of Florentines. The reason? They all fell under the spell of the original fire and brimstone preacher. He wasn't rich. He didn't have an army. He wasn't of the nobility. He wasn't sent by the pope. In fact, the Pope hated him. But he managed to do what so many rich men with armies had failed to do for decades. He overturned the government of Florence, kicked out the Medici family, and took control of the city. And... to top it off, he was a precursor of the Reformation. He is famous for the Bonfire Of The Vanities. His name was Girolamo SAVONAROLA.

Jonathan Freedland and his guests compare the Bonfire of the Vanities in fifteenth century Florence with Extinction Rebellion's Autumn Uprising. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican Friar whose apocalyptic sermons inspired his followers, the Piagnoni or 'wailers' to take over Florence's streets and squares, challenging the authorities and condemning the consumption of sinful luxuries, such as mirrors, cosmetics and musical instruments. Today's Extinction Rebellion activists have also staged city-centre protests, demanding radical action to reduce carbon emissions and the consumption of modern luxuries such as fast fashion and air travel. Joining Jonathan to discuss past and present are Evelyn Welch, Professor of Renaissance Studies at King's College London, Tim Stanley of The Telegraph and William Skeaping of Extinction Rebellion.
