Send us a textKatie and Bridget travel to NJ to go to church (Mom - aren't you proud!?) as they rewatch: Dogma! It's a movie all about how religion is kinda crazy but also God is totally real and she IS Alanis Morissette! Come along as we meet Bethany, a woman losing her faith who gets visited by a bunch of mystical religious figures and told that she's the chosen one! Casual! When a church in New Jersey somehow has the power to cleanse everyone of their sins, two fallen angels go on an evil quest to clear themselves and reenter heaven. While that may sound nice, it would actually bring about the apocalypse - and somehow this is Bethany's problem! We've got angels, profits, apostles, muses, demons, and two stoners (Jay and Silent Bob) all in this anti-religious but also somehow religious movie which makes us ask the ultimate moral question... Are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in love with each other or what!? Released in 1999, it was written and directed by Kevin Smith and stars an insane cast including Linda Fiorentino, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Janeane Garofalo, Jason Lee, Alan Rickman, Jason Mewes, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, George Carlin, and Alanis Morissette.

Chris Rock! Alexander Wang!), Rocco's man bun, David Banda's coming out on the dance floor, sock puppets, roughing up the cops, and partying on Madonna's terms. London's premiere drag pop star BABY/FACE picks up the phone for a ribald conversation about the brilliant and much-missed electro-pop pioneer (and song collaborator) SOPHIE and her impact on BABY/FACE's fabulous EP “Harpy”. Plus, the danger of sitting during a Madonna television performance, Kenny sends poetic voice memos at 5AM, and Mark dances naked on a table in Greece!

Equally impressive is the film's cast, which included Eddie Murphy, Hallie Berry, Martin Lawrence, David Allen Grier, Chris Rock, Tisha Campbell, Robin Givens, and Grace Jones (who is also on the soundtrack).Also Discussed:-Hudlin's post-Boomerang career -Babyface's strangehold on the top of the Billboard Charts in the 90s-How the film is responsible for one the most iconic sitcom couples-Grace Jones' outrageous role in the film-Creative BreakupsTo Keep Up to Date with James Deon Williams:WebsiteBlueskyInstagram

Kenny Robinson is a Canadian comedy legend, actor, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller. In this conversation, David Peck talks with him about his new film The People of Comedy, now streaming on Crave. We explore the intersections of race, identity, and humour in Canada. We talk about comedy as protest, the power of laughter, and why Kenny has never shied away from speaking his mind. From growing up in Winnipeg to founding the iconic “Nubian Disciples of Pryor,” Kenny shares stories that are raw, real, and deeply relevant. This is a bold and brilliant take on what it means to be funny—and fearless.Synopsis:People of Comedy: Celebrating 30 Years of The Nubian Show is a powerful documentary from Counterfeit Pictures marking the anniversary of Kenny Robinson's groundbreaking comedy showcase. Launched in 1995 at Toronto's Yuk Yuk's, the Nubian Show became a vital platform for Black and Racialized comedians to share their stories and challenge the industry status quo. Blending stand-up, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage, the film highlights the showcase's cultural impact and career-launching legacy, featuring appearances from Russell Peters, Hassan Phills, Crystal Ferrier, and more. A tribute to Robinson's bold vision and the enduring power of comedy as representation and resistance.Bio: The Fabulous Kenny Robinson is a living legend on the Canadian Comedy scene. Winner of the Phil Hartman Award, Kenny's irreverent, socially conscientious, intelligent, opinionated and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, swingers conventions, radio, and television audiences for over 3 decades.Raunchy, energetic, sharp witted, and sharply dressed; Kenny Robinson is a one-of-a kind act. Not for the weak of heart or narrow minded, Robinson assaults your sensibilities and funny bone with unspoken truths. The Winnipeg born, Chicago bred Robinson has hosted The Gemini Awards and was twice nominated for his writing and performance in his groundbreaking one hour special Thick and Thin on the CBC. Robinson's greatest legacy may well be his creation of The Nubian Disciples Of Pryor All Black Revue. The Nubian Show is a monthly showcase of comedians of colour, which has been one of the most exciting and successful nights of comedy in Canada since 1995.This showcase has mentored, and been a spotlight for such comics as Russell Peters, Jean Paul, Trey Anthony, Trixx, Ron Josol, and countless others. For 2 years he was one of the co-hosts of The Morning Rush on Flow 93.5fm, Canada's first black owned hip hop radio station.As an actor, Robinson has appeared in such films as Third Miracle with Ed Harris, Down To Earth with Chris Rock, Clement Virgo's Love comes Down, and David Sutherland's Love, Sex, and Eating the Bones.Whether the audience looks for his cutting observational perspectives, political, sexual or what comes up at the moment, Robinson's professional attitude and love for comedy will always deliver.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

From shock jock to The Man Show -- to elder statesman of late night tv? That's the path Jimmy Kimmel has taken on his way to a legendary career. Along the way, Jimmy has also become a reliable and popular host for the Oscars and the Emmy -- as well as helping bring to the screen the Crank Yankers prank phone call show. A pretty diverse resume! As Kimmel has matured he has also developed a political voice which he deploys to great effect on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, most notably when he helped galvanize opposition to repealing Obamacare during the first Trump administration. Not to fear, Jimmy shows no signs of hanging up his microphone for a political career any time soon. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our show. Want more Kimmel? Every comic needs a faux running "feud" and Jimmy has a great one with Matt Damon -- and here is one of the videos that made it a comedy hit. https://youtu.be/eSfoF6MhgLA?si=kpspFQK___c54SG9 Jimmy got his start in commercial radio at just 22 -- and it didn't go great as he recently told Kelly and Mark. https://youtu.be/J3mmVviKRpg?si=rBb85ZDFmZg_xW5h This is a great bit!

By now, you've probably seen the incident where Alec Baldwin was humiliated by his wife during a public interview, and where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in defense of a woman who cheated on him. Guys, these are multi-millionaire celebrities, yet they are STILL getting embarrassed and disrespected by their women. You must not let this be you. Having boundaries that ensure you are respected in your relationship is mandatory. In today's episode, Mark takes a deep dive into these events, unpacking why they happen (spoiler: it's the guy's fault) and what they should have done to prevent it.

NOTHIN' COMES EASY: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield (April 29, 2025) is the first biography of the "bug-eyed, sweaty, herky-jerky, tie-pulling comedian with the doleful countenance." Dangerfield's indelible beat-down image was played for laughs, but there were sad truths behind his sad-sack persona. TV writer Michael Seth Starr has crafted an immensely entertaining bio of the comedian's slog up the show business ladder. Ten years as a C-level stand-up comedian, he quit the business to sell aluminum siding and paint to keep the lights on. Then he went back to the clubs under an entirely new name, from Jack Roy to Rodney Dangerfield. A career-changing appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show at the ripe age of forty-five would be the lucky break, opening doors to television, movies, and comic fame at last. His catch phrase, "I don't get no respect," underscored his circuitous rise to the top after years of setbacks and grit. "What stood out for me, in authoring this book," writes Starr, '"was Dangerfield's perseverance in the face of such overwhelming odds. I was impressed at how he launched a second comedy career as a man already in his forties and out of the game for a decade. He never abandoned his undeniable urge to get back in the game and to share his seemingly unending reservoir of magical one-liners." At the beginning of his comeback, he began writing jokes for comedians like Jackie Mason and Joey Bishop, in the days before the "no respect" persona was solidified. He worked agentless, making his own deals. And it took him a solid five years to clinch his now celebrated debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. It took another few years of hustling on the circuit before he landed on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, which opened a wealth of doors in Hollywood. Dangerfield's comedy style - a self-mocking angst, the comedy of the perpetual loser - was endearing and universal. He was the schlubby Everyman snubbed by life, finally making it big. Soon Dangerfield would be leaving his mark in films, most famously in Caddyshack and Back to School. He was rebuffed in later years by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - which refused him membership. But Dangerfield had already cemented his place in comedy history as a writer and performer. When he died in 2004, his death made international headlines. Among his pallbearers were George Carlin, Roseanne Barr, Chris Rock, Larry David, Andrew Dice Clay, Jon Lovitz, and Carl Reiner. The book closes with a highly engaging chapter, "Riffs on Rodney," with remembrances of the comic from his peers including Jay Leno, Rita Rudney, Bob Nelson, Robert Wuhl, and Pauly Shore. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Sinema Kulübü'müzün 20inci buluşmasında Reinaldo Marcus Green'in yönettiği başrolünde Will Smith'in oynadığı 2021 yılı yapımı orijinal adı “King Richard” olan, bizde “Kral Richard” adıyla gösterime giren filmi konuştuk.Film tenis dünyasının iki süperstarı Venus ve Serena Williams'ın olağanüstü yükselişinin arkasındaki adam olan babaları Richard Williams'ın hikayesini anlatıyor. Film, Richard'ın azmi, vizyonu ve sıra dışı antrenman yöntemleriyle kızlarını Compton gibi zorlu bir mahalleden çıkararak dünya sahnesine taşımasını konu ediyor. Gerçek olaylara dayanan bu biyografik film, bir babanın hayalleriyle, sistemle mücadelesi ve ailesine olan sarsılmaz inancı etrafında dönüyor.Öncelikle Will Smith'in bu rolü ile En İyi Erkek Oyuncu Oskar'ını kazandığını hatırlatalım. Ancak o törende tarihe geçen bir an daha olmuştu; bu ödülü almasından 40 dakika önce, yaptığı espiri nedeniyle Chris Rock'a sahnede bir tokat atmıştı. Sonrasında Akademi ona 2032 yılına kadar uzaklaştırma cezası vermişti.Olay sonradan çok tartışıldı ama ne tuhaftır ki, Smith'in filmdeki rolü de böyle bir şiddete başvurma seçeneği ile karşı karşıya kalıyor ama o farklı sonuçlanıyor, izlerseniz göreceksiniz. Öte yandan kadının yani annenin rolünü biraz arka planda bırakmasına da takıldık biraz.Film tüm ebeveynlerin kendine sorduğu bir soruyu çağrıştırıyor. Çocuklarımızı potansiyelleri için mi, yoksa bunu kendi meselemiz haline getirdiğimiz için mi zorluyoruz?Filmde bunun uç bir örneğini görüyoruz belki de; Richard sanki hiçbir zaman keyif almakla ilgili değil sonuca odaklanmış bir disiplinle çocuklarını çalıştırıyor. Serena ve Venus böyle koşullandıkları ve zafere ulaştıkları için belki mutlular ama bu soru içimizde hep var, çocuklar ebevynlerini veya başkalarını mutlu etmek, beklentilerini karşılamak için mi kendilerini paralıyorlar, yoksa içten istedikleri için mi? Bu bir noktada acısı çıktığı zaman anlaşılıyor. Onlar gerçek hikayelerinde bunu çok da ele vermiyorlar gibiyse de geçen ay kitap kulübünde okuduğumuz Gabor Maté'nin Normal Efsanesi kitabında bir bölümün girişinde Venus Williams'ın şu sözü var. “Çoğu zaman kendimi kötü hissettiğimde kendimi iyi hissediyormuş gibi davranmak zorunda kaldım”Hollywood sinemasında bazı filmlerde bastırılmış olmanın ezilen olmanın etkilerini görüyoruz. Umudunu kaybetme'de, bu filmde veya Michael Jordan'ın hikayesinin anlatıldığı Nike Air filminde, bu sınıfların varını yoğunu ortaya koyup çalışması var. Bu Amerikan sinemasının özürü mü yoksa Amerikan rüyası propagandası mı bilmiyorum ama hep kendini yoktan var eden insanların, özellikle Afro Amerikalıların böyle zafer hikayeleri var. Avrupa sinemasından (ve tabii kültüründen de) böyle ayrılıyor sanırım, zira  Avrupa sineması daha çok gerçekliği yüzümüze vurur, rahatlatmak yerine rahatsız edicidir ve “çözüm yok ama farkında olun” der.Biz yine de filmi izlemeye değer bulduk, size de tavsiye ederiz.(03:20) Belgin Elmas (09:10) Uğur İyidoğan (12:24) Burcu Hanım (14:13) Feyza Demir (18:06) Burcu Hanım (18:50) Elif Burcu YılmazSupport the show

Send us a textDo you remember New Jack City starring Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles, and Judd Nelson? We sure do and we remember loving it. This movie made us want to be Ice-T and Wesley Snipes simultaneously. But we haven't seen it since the 90s and have been wrong before. We'll be honest, if this movie isn't as good as we remember, we are going to be more than just disappointed. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life is ready to help you start your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Trent Frederic's latest injury, Rexall Place memories, Will Smith's return, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode by discussing Trent Frederic's ankle injury again against the L.A. Kings on Saturday afternoon. Despite playing only 7:10 in TOI, Frederic re-injured his ankle and will now miss the rest of the regular season, with the goal of returning to the playoffs. Considering Frederic got re-injured in his first game as an Oiler, the fellas discussed the comparison to Mike Green playing on two games after the trade to Edmonton and refusing to return for the bubble playoffs.Sunday marked the ninth anniversary of Rexall Place closing, so the guys spent the next few minutes talking about the old barn and comparing the vibes to how they are now at Rogers Place.Next, there was a discussion about Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and speculation about whether he will finish out the last season on his contract or go to the KHL. Either way, it's an incredible feat for Ovi and it will be interesting to what his next move looks like. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a little bit of baseball talk after the Jays signed Vladdy to a monster deal worth $500 million over the next 14 years. They also discussed Will Smith's return to the stage as the Fresh Prince tries to rebuild his image after the infamous Chris Rock slap.

On episode 282 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello as well as AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Jay Ledbetter, Josh Parham, and Karen Peterson to go back 10 years and take a look at the 88th Academy Awards, covering the films of 2015. The team take a trip back to just a decade ago where the Oscars were at a moment of reflection as the #OscarsSoWhite movement rang loudly as the nominations didn't fully show the diverse, talented artists that made the year in film so strong. Chris Rock (whose jokes this night would spark the later controversy for “The Slap” at the 2022 ceremony) hosted the ceremony and highlighted perfectly that the Academy had a long way to go to show the world that they can change and allow everyone the chance to be nominated and win an Oscar. For the telecast, it was a night dominated by Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant in the technical categories, Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning an Oscar, a cool, shocking upset in Best Visual Effects, and Spotlight winning the top prize, along with just Best Original Screenplay, making it the first film since The Greatest Show On Earth to win Best Picture while only winning one other award. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1980, briefly discuss talk about Spotlight as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to four films to make up the final set of eight nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 3h14m. We will be back next week for a review of the new A24 drama, Warfare, as well as talk about some of the best war films of the decade/century so far. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

It's Doomsday for the Guys this week! But Robbie and Art decided to do a podcast anyway. Geeks of the Week include rumors of a David Ayer director's cut of Suicide Squad. This is the first one with Will Smith. Could a Chris Rock scene be included? Netflix looking at a live action series of a Scooby Doo origin story. Ruh-roh. On a serious note, there's an update on beloved poster artist Drew Struzan's health. As the final geek, we look at Apple using a Lumen-Terminal-Pro to tout the use of their hardware in editing Severance. However, they didn't use Apple's software, so it may also be Terminal-Pro.    Our main segment recaps the list of Marvel stars added to the roster of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. The list of who didn't is as interesting as who made the cut, and we talk about both. We didn't do the recap in a 5-hour live stream as the names were originally revealed. It only feels that way.

This episode dives into some of the wildest and most unexpected headlines of the week. From the Trump administration's leaked war plans to a teacher peeing in class, we've got all the details.

This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among othersThen there's the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry.  Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn't get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned.  But again, the show must go on. Mark's stellar reputation put him in high demand and working with Melba and soon Freddie Jackson, Dru Hill, Al B Sure, Grandmaster Flash, a young Usher and music pioneer Prince solidified his reputation in the industry.

A year later, working with  Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham  on the artist's NPG Records. Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he's secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally.  Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency.  The Show Must Go On!
