Logo theme by: Gail NoblesArt by: Gail NoblesAaliyah lived to make two movies. They were Queen of the Damned & Romeo Must Die. My favorite movie was Romeo Must Die starring Jet Li and Aaliyah. The movie led me to think Aaliyah would eventually star in martial art movies if she had lived. I can see her in my mind now. She might would have made a Blaxploitation film in the 2000's in Kung Fu action after Romeo Must Die. Blaxploitation films were made in the early 1970s. Some of the Blaxploitation female Kung Fu action movies that were made are Cleopatra Jones & TNT Jackson. In modern times like we live in, I believe Aaliyah could have been an even better Kung Fu action lady in films. I believe she could have made some big smash hit movies along with her music if she had been alive today. In Romeo Must Die, I saw some great strength in Aaliyah working on her fight scene with Jet Li. She made me think of Foxy Brown when I saw her shooting a gun near the end of the movie. Aaliyah had her hair covering one eye. That was a good idea. It has been said that it was Aaliyah's mother's idea and thought it would be a signature style that would set Aaliyah apart from other artists. And I think it did. Aaliyah had her own style in clothing. She probably would have had her own Kung Fu outfits if she had made Kung Fu movies. I saw a clip of Aaliyah trying on a robe in Japan back in 1996. If you knew Aaliyah, she believed in adding what she called Flava (flavor). There's one more thing I saw in Aaliyah. If she had lived, she might - might would have became a director or producer in film & in music after some years. It has been said that she had a 4.0 G.P.A. in school. It looked as if Aaliyah could have been her own dance choreographer too. After all, she knew how to dance anyway. She was around all of the things she could have became, & I know she was probably learning it all.It's sad that Aaliyah's life was cut short. God didn't give all that talent & ability to Aaliyah for nothing. I do not believe it was intended for her to go. But I guess we can say she paved the way for others.I'm Gail Nobles. Today's topic: My Picturization of Aaliyah.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Attorney Ingrid Irwin from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The last time she was on the show was November 16th, 2021, Season 2, Episode #130. In this podcast we discussed her book, Nolle Prosequi in, which was published in 2020. The title of the book means "do not prosecute." This is a call to action and critically assesses the latest developments in the law in this area from 2018 to present day. This book is published under her name Ingrid Irwin. Attorney Irwin stressed the importance of sexual assault victims/victims of rape to have THEIR OWN ATTORNEY. The Prosecution in a Criminal Case IS NOT THE VICTIM'S ATTORNEY. This must be made clear at the very beginning that the crime takes place. The victim should not go to the police, but to retain an attorney first. This would save the victim from repetitious re-traumatizing of the incident. With two books written, Attorney Irwin is very passionate about victims getting justice the correct way and that is that they have THEIR OWN ATTORNEY. Attorney Irwin is a book author of two books on the law and sexual assault that can be found on AMAZON: Doli Incapax in 2018 (means accused is deemed incapable of criminal intent "guilty mind" due to their young age 10-14 yrs) This is my memoir, my pen name is Cleopatra Jones. Nolle Prosequi in2020 (means 'do not prosecute') This is a call to action and critically assesses the latest developments in the law in this area, from 2018 to present day. This is published under my name Ingrid Irwin. Again, Attorney Irwin is an Activist against sex abuse and child sexual abuse (CSA), on social media such as Facebook: Ingrid Irwin. She has also been a speaker at events including at the recent, "Women's March4Justice," in Canberra in March 2021 To reach Attorney Ingrid Irwin: ingridtamarairwin@gmail.com Support the show(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri) http://beentheregotout.com/ https://monicaszymonik.mykajabi.com/Masterclass USE CODE SLAM THE GAVEL PODCAST FOR 10% OFF THE COURSE http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/ Music by: mictechmusic@yahoo.com

Slam the Gavel welcomes Attorney Ingrid Irwin, 48 years old and a former Catholic. She is from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, the pedophilic epicenter of Australia, which compares to Boston in the movie, "Spotlight." Attorney Irwin has been a lawyer since 1999, working in family violence, child protection, family law, civil law including sex assault survivors suing perpetrators for personal injury and intervention orders. She has also represented clergy sex abuse clients in the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). Attorney Irwin has acted for police complainants who alleged they were abused by Cardinal Pell and the bulk of her practice has involved acting for women and children in Family Law and family violence matters (where most of the victims are female because the violence if definitely gendered). At present Attorney Irwin is currently an Activist/Advocate to the plight of brave victims of sexual assault who report to police. However, the system is in a SHAMEFUL STATE OF DISREPAIR despite NUMEROUS Government Apologies, Redress Schemes, Inquiries, and Royal Commissions into family violence and child sexual assault.

Cleopatra Jones is a dynamic artist, fashion designer and poet, however, her talents and skills far exceed these titles. Her clothing brand, 444 alignment, features acrylic on fabric and embodies true wearable art of unique and eccentric designs. As an artist, her bold color choices and abstract visuals brings the audience into a new realm of fantasy and grandeur. Based in Chicago, IL, Cleopatra Jones pulls inspiration from many places, people and objects. Yet as a true cancer sun, her motives lie in emotional expression and inspiring others to feel through her art. Whether she is painting on canvas, designing a pant suit, or recording a feature for an upcoming music project, Cleopatra Jones brings her full, authentic self to everything that she does, allowing others to feel deeply connected to her vulnerability and thoughtfulness. A genuine and introspective guest, we hope you fall in love with Jones as much as we did. (At the end of this episode features the skit "Cloud Radio" ft. Cleopatra Jones from  "From Milwaukee With Love" by A.C. the Ruler)

In a better world, we might have five decades of great Cleopatra Jones movies to look back on featuring a succession of amazing leading ladies!

On this episode we unpack the style, action, wit and politics of this Bond-inspired Blaxploitation classic starring the stunning Tamara Dobson!

What makes for an ideal collaboration between actors and behind-the-camera talent? Misha Green and Jurnee Smollett, the respective creator-showrunner and star of HBO’s “Lovecraft Country,” have plenty of insights into maximizing creativity and trust on set. “You gotta have an environment in which the ‘captain’ has created a level of safety, a level for you to fail big,” says Jurnee. “We’re going towards the same goal, which is the truth of this character,” adds Misha. “And we’re both fearless in that.” Before “Lovecraft Country,” the supernatural horror drama adapted from novelist Matt Ruff’s riff on H. P. Lovecraft, Misha and Jurnee worked together on the hit WGN thriller “Underground.” As a writer-director-producer, Misha is also the creative force behind “Helix” and the upcoming “Cleopatra Jones” and “Tomb Raider 2.” For more insight into her craft, check out Misha’s Meet the Maker feature: https://bit.ly/3hSEXiE Jurnee began her career as a child actor, on “On Our Own” and “Full House,” then broke out in “Eve’s Bayou,” “The Great Debaters,” “Friday Night Lights,” and last year’s “Birds of Prey.” For her work as Leti on “Lovecraft Country,” Jurnee earned a Critics Choice Super Award and an ensemble SAG Award nomination.

Funk music might be most commonly associated with 1970s bands like Funkadelic, Parliament, Sly & The Family Stone, the Ohio Players, and other more, but the 1990s saw their fair share of funk enthusiasts slip into the alternative mainstream. The Red Hot Chili Peppers had become an MTV staple, Primus and Faith No More explored the outer edges, while bands like the Beastie Boys, Living Colour, Infectious Grooves and more put their own spin on the sound. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, the remnants of 80s hardcore bands the Necros, Laughing Hyenas, and others formed Big Chief, whose 1991 skewed towards the alternative metal sound. That would not be the case on their 1993 follow-up, Mack Avenue Skullgame. Dubbed an "Original Soundtrack" for a movie that does not exist, the album is a faithful throwback to the 70s blaxploitation sounds of soundtracks like Shaft, Superfly, Cleopatra Jones and others. The band lays down authentic if updated funk sounds and adds the necessary vocals of Thornetta Davis to add melodic punch. But like all soundtracks, can the concept work without the imagery to go with it?   Songs In This Episode: Intro - My Name Is Pimp (Mack's Theme) 19:08 - One Born Every Minute (Doc's Theme) 24:18 - If I Had A Nickle For Every Dime 27:32 - No Free Love On The Street 32:55 - Cop Kisser (Mack F*cks Up The Scene At The Freezer) Outro - Cut To The Chase   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Mezcla de cine de acción popular y reivindicación racial, el blaxploitation fue una variante genérica, ligada al thriller y al policiaco, inicialmente destinada al público afroamericano en la primera mitad de los años setenta. El éxito de títulos como Shaft, Superfly, Coffy, Cleopatra Jones, Black Caesar, Pánico en la calle 110 o Blacula (el vampiro blaxploitation) hizo que estas películas adquirieran una dimensión mucho más global a la que no fue ajena su estilo musical, mezcla de funk, soul, jazz y blues, con vientos enérgicos, trepidantes arreglos de cuerda, bajos musculosos, beats funky y guitarras con mucho wah wah. Los artistas más representativos de la música negra de los sesenta y setenta fueron los artífices de aquellas bandas sonoras hoy tan reivindicadas: Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Roy Ayers, Bobby Womack, Joe Simon y J. J. Johnson, entre otros. 1) “Shaft Theme”, Isaac Hayes2) “Superfly”, Curtis Mayfield3) “Give Me Your Love (Love Song)”, Curtis Mayfield4) “Exotic Dance”, Roy Ayers5) “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)”, The Delfonics6) “Across 110th Street”, Bobby Womack & Peace7) “Theme From Cleopatra Jones”, Joe Simon8) “Theme From Enter The Dragon”, Lalo Schifrin9) “Blacula Strikes!””, Gene Page10) “Main Theme From Trouble Man”, Marvin Gaye11) “The Boss”, James Brown12) “Main Title Truck Turner”, Isaac Hayes13) “Shaft Theme”, Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra

When fellow operatives (and childhood friends) Matthew Johnson and Melvin Johnson disappear during an undercover mission in Hong Kong, Cleopatra Jones travels there to find them. With the help of local detective Mi Ling, Cleopatra discovers that her friends' disappearance has to do with The Dragon Lady, a much-feared blonde "lipstick lesbian" who runs a Macao casino and controls a major chunk of the local drug trade.

During the 1970s, U.S. Special Agent Cleopatra Jones proves to be an invaluable asset to the local police forces in the war on drugs.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever does. Joining Tim this time is journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed, who wonders if anyone else has hazy recollections of ITV Saturday Morning show The Saturday Banana, Children's BBC drama The Changes, Mary Quant-designed action doll Havoc, Nurdin & Peacock Own Brand Cola, ZX Spectrum game Thro' The Wall, childhood misapprehensions about the news, and that time that ITV schools show Picture Box used a clip from Cleopatra Jones. Along the way we'll be pondering what Jacob Rees-Mogg could have learned from Metal Mickey, swapping stories about writing to Newsround and Week Ending, and finding out the appropriate circumstances for marrying off poseable action figures. And if you can find the edition of Picture Box in question, please get in touch...!! More episodes of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/

Tom's first two-parter is all about that time in the early seventies when African American Blaxploitation anti-heros like Shaft, Cleopatra Jones and Dolemite ruled the cinemas.

In the news this week, some issues where being "TRUMPED" for lack of better words. To start, according to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is a sore loser and even worse, a hypocrite because she's now challenging the results of the election. Trump is referring to Clinton's attack after he said during the third presidential debate he was non-committal on challenging the results of the election. Clinton called Trump's hedge "a direct threat to our democracy. Clinton has joined Green Party candidate Jill Stein's recount effort in several key states that went for Trump. What do you think? Want to boycott all things Donald Trump? Get excited, because there's an app for that! The Democratic Coalition Against Trump has created an app called Boycott Trump that offers its users an organized list of all the companies that have ties to Donald Trump’s empire. The Boycott Trump app is available in iTunes and Google Play. Is 2016 the best year ever for Black cinema? Some say the golden age of Black cinema was in the 1990s. After all, with films like Love Jones, Boyz N the Hood, Daughters of the Dust, Menace II Society, The Best Man, Waiting to Exhale, Get on the Bus, Slam, The Five Heartbeats, Eve’s Bayou. While the 1970s were ruled by heroes like Cleopatra Jones, Shaft, Truck Tuner and Foxy Brown, and the 1990s offered a fuller picture of Black life, lately Hollywood ain’t been no crystal stair for filmmakers of color - thoughts? A Muslim woman has become the first to compete in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant while fully clothed. Halima Aden (19 yrs old) made the semifinals of the competition over the weekend while wearing a hijab. She also wore a full-body outfit called a burkini during the swimsuit competition. We also discussed the 2016 Soul Train Music awards which had some controversial moments. You have to hear what the crew had to say on this, lol! Same time...same place, stay tuned!

This week Lee and Daniel take a look at two blaxploitation films with a female lead that don't star Pam Grier (don't worry, they'll eventually get to her as well). Up for review first is the Bondish "Cleopatra Jones" (1973), and then the cheap, chopsocky cash-in "TNT Jackson" (1974). Listener comments are also covered. This one is a bit more of a casual episode again -- short and sweet and hard to defeat. Take a hard line and you'll have a bad time. Turn that frown upside down or you'll enter demolition town. It has kicks to the head that will leave you dead. Okay, we'll stop now. "Cleopatra Jones" IMDB "TNT Jackson" IMDB Featured Music: "The Wrecking Yard" and "The Theme from Cleopatra Jones" by J. J.

Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold (1975) continues Blaxploitation History Month. Tamara Dobson and the Karate Brothers return for this bigger, crazier, Hong Kong-ier sequel.

Kim Robinson's father, a tailor, inspired me. The first thing Kim ever made, a halter top, was the kind with the choker ring around the neck. She attached some yellow yarn as hair, buttons for eyes, and for lips, a red licorice. Sadly, the California sun melted the licorice all over the place, but every little girl in the neighborhood was exchanging their toys for one. In addition to continuing her sewing throughout high school, Kim was in the modeling club, where she, along with her friends showcased her designs. Remember, this was the late 70’s when Superfly and Cleopatra Jones were The Thang. Kim progress to making long coats and lace up pants out of recycled Levi’s.  Currently writing a story entitled Street Life to Housewife, Kim assures you that the title speaks for itself. The author of four other books near completion, one is best described as Murder she wrote for the hood.’ Kim's goal is to comlete an  eight-book series. She is close to completing God Ain’t Spelled Government. where the alumni of Dominguez High School, Class of '77 has leaked a government conspiracy at her twenty-year class reunion. The Government does not know to whom the conspiracy was leaked, Consequently, they Government set out to kill everyone who attended the reunion. Three books Kim rely upon. One is Green Pharmacy while the other is Live Right for Your Type. Her most important is The Holy Bible.
