Podcast appearances and mentions of Danny Pintauro

As we already established on our The Dead Zone podcast, 1983 was the Year of the King. That year, Stephen King fans were treated to not one, not two, but THREE adaptations of the author's work. The Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo. Now common usage to explain a mean dog, Cujo had next to zero meaning to people who picked the book up ready to read King's first all out horror novel in years. Like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, producers once again used ET as a stepping point, and plucked everyone's favorite mom Dee Wallace to star in a film about her and her son (Who's The Boss's Danny Pintauro) being terrorized by the film's title character. Listen in as Garrett, Matt, and Adam talk about the film many (King included) count as among their favorite adaptations of King's work. Will Adam think the same as, unsurprisingly, this is yet another first time viewing for him? And how did Garrett stumble upon the book, making it the first King novel he ever read? Find out by clicking below! And be sure to come back next week, as Matt finally gets to talk about Ah-nold Schwarzenegger when the co-hosts review the first Richard Bachman adaptation, The Running Man!

"It is equally treacherous when you are very successful as when you are trying to get your foot in the door in terms of keeping the sense of who you are.”  -- Asaad Kelada, producer/director, The Facts of LifeIn Part 2 of their conversation with Asaad Kelada, Susan and Sharon talk with the director about the gifts and pitfalls of success; his reputation as a director who brings harmony to the most disharmonious sets in Hollywood; and the challenge of breaking into the “Hollywood TV Club” for an Egyptian with “a name with all of these vowels!”.In a career spanning four decades, Asaad Kelada has directed over 340 episodes of television, including Rhoda, Phyllis, The Tony Randall Show, Benson, WKRP in Cincinnati, One Day at a Time, Night Court, Valerie, Who's the Boss, Family Ties and The Office -- as well as four seasons of The Facts of Life and over five seasons of Who's The Boss?.  THE CONVERSATIONHow directing his first episode of network television -  "Rhonda Questions Her Life and Flies to Paris" - felt like coming home.THE “TIES” THAT BIND: An old friend, Gary David Goldberg, asked Asaad personally to direct the pilot of Family Ties.Michael J. Fox ad-libbed the “P” in “Alex P. Keaton” when picking up a call from his girlfriend -- and it got the biggest laugh of the night. That's when Asaad knew the show was going to be a hit.Michael J. Fox was actually the SECOND choice to play Alex Keaton. Matthew Broderick was first.ON PERSISTENCE: Observing and learning for five years to direct his first episode of television. “People would wave at me and say hello, but were they looking at an insane man, or were they looking at someone who was just determined? How am I being perceived by persisting and persisting? Was I somebody who was really deluded? When doesn't he take no for an answer? I think I just outlasted them.” Directing “Les on a Ledge” for WKRP in Cincinnati.DIRECTING WHO'S THE BOSS?: Tony Danza had a photographic memory and hated rehearsal.  Katherine Helmond and Judith Light loved to rehearse. Plus, the kids? Everyone had to be directed differently, but it all had to come together.The “Requiem” episode of Who's The Boss? is where Tony Danza and Asaad really connected. After that, he was invited to stay -- for four years.WHO REALLY WAS THE BOSS?  “No question -- it was Tony Danza.  Tony was volatile.  He made everybody feel good -- until he didn't.”GETTING TO KNOW BENSON:  Asaad only directed two episodes of Benson -- but he and Robert Guillaume became lifelong friends.“LOOKOUT FOR CLORIS LEACHMAN!” -- “I was told ‘She may try to take over, she is always changing things -- and she is a flirt.  Maybe you can use that to tame her'.”WELCOME TO THE “TV CLUB”: “Even when you get accepted into the TV club, it is a temporary membership. And it can be revoked at any time.”So join Susan and Sharon -- and Asaad -- as they talk Danny Pintauro, Alyssa Milano, Jan Hooks, The Last Resort, Julie Kavner, Todd Bridges, Designing Women, Justine Bateman, Chuck Lorre -- and getting stuck in the bathroom with Benson!AUDIO-OGRAPHYFind out more about Asaad Kelada at IMDB.STILL IN FLUX: Watch Season 2 and 3 of The Facts of Life for free on Tubi.Season 1 and 3 are available for sale on Amazon Prime.Buy the complete season on DVD at Ebay.

Catch up with actor Danny Pintauro right here in The Locher Room. Danny is well-known to television audiences for his incredible eight-year run as the precocious and spunky “Jonathan Bower” on the hit ABC series, Who's the Boss? starring alongside Judith Light, Tony Danza, Katherine Helmond and Alyssa Milano.Danny began his professional career at the age of two as a model and commercial actor. By the age of three, he had a five-year contract role as Paul Stenbeck on As the World Turns. This was followed by his film debut in Stephen King's legendary Cujo. In 1997, Danny was one of the first celebrities to publicly identify as gay and in 2015 he used an opportunity on The Oprah Winfrey Show to share his HIV status to help spread awareness.Today, Danny is happily married, feeling healthy and is returning to his acting roots actively auditioning for roles. Don't miss the chance to hear what Danny is up to. 

“Who's the Boss?” is a sitcom that aired from 1984 to 1992 and became one of the most popular shows of the mid-to-late 1980s. The story revolves around Tony Micelli (Tony Danza), a former professional baseball player, who wants to leave Brooklyn to find a better environment for his daughter, Samantha (Alyssa Milano). He ends up taking a job as a live-in housekeeper for a divorced advertising executive in Connecticut. The show was well-received for its humor, heartwarming moments, and progressive take on family and work life. It garnered several awards and nominations throughout its run and has since become a beloved classic in the sitcom genre. “Who's the Boss?” also paved the way for similar shows that challenged societal norms. Will the S1E1 guys enjoy this show or was this one better left in the past? Find out as they deep dive, Who's The Boss' pilot episode.

Who's the boss? We're the boss! as we welcome child actor Danny Pintuaro to chat about his early work in Cujo and Who's The Boss, we also chat about coming out, the LGBTQ community, and how it's been coming back to show biz in Hollywood, with guest co-host screenwriter Stan Zimmerman (Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls, Roseanne) and your sassy host with the sassy most, Alexander Rodriguez! Raise a glass, it's On the Rocks!

Actor Danny Pintauro first hit the big screen over four decades ago, in the disturbing film Cujo. Having played in dramatic themes at an even younger age for the soap opera As the World Turns, he was no stranger to giving it his all on set. Immediately following Cujo he was cast on one of the most popular sitcoms of the 80s, Who's the Boss? For 8 seasons and 196 episodes, we saw Danny, as Jonathan Bower, literally grow up on our screens. Having difficulty finding acting work by leaving his sitcom personality behind, he entered public life that would only return to the media's eye by way of a forced coming out, and coming out as HIV. But now he's back, he's reentering Hollywood with a renewed confidence, a mission, and a new body.In this episode we talk about being a child actor and the isolation that often came with it, living life beyond Hollywood, dealing with the stigma of being gay and having HIV at a different time, what it's like to be back in showbiz, getting into shape, embracing his adulthood, and the stereotypes he must overcome to get back to his passion of acting. We talk about it all…check it out.  Hosted by Alexander Rodriguez @AlexanderisOnAirYou can check out our in-depth chat with him in the current issue of GED Magazine now on newsstands or at GEDMag.com

Yep.  More Fanacek and more Mr. Devane.  We're gonna pick up where we left off in 1978 and take a good hard look at why he never became a bona fide feature film star.  I'll focus mostly on his Knots Landings years (83-93).  While we learn about William Devane's roles, I thought we'd also learn about Tobe Hooper being replaced by the director who once threatened Charles Manson, John "Bud" Carlos.  We can also learn about the real Johnny Fontane, the crappy production company that employed my friend, tricked folks at the videos stores, and ultimately created Sharknado, Danny Pintauro's connection with Ryan White, my grandmother and I obsessively watching A Current Affair, and the lengths I went to to see Shannen Doherty topless.  Happy Holidays!

Adam Schiff is a public servant who is devoted to his country, his duty and his local, podcasting constituents such as Fritz Coleman. Congressman Schiff carved out some time in his democracy saving day to speak with us about his bipartisan childhood, grabbing Fox “News” by the green, his Senate run and the threat he appears to be posing to Tucker Carlson.Then, Dee Wallace has much to share. She's got many projects about to land, including the new version of Fatal Attraction from Lizzy Caplan. Dee enlightens us on the healing energy of horror movies, her travels with “her boys,” Henry Thomas, Robert McNaughton and Danny Pintauro, celebrating important E.T. and Cujo anniversaries and her canine connection with Adam Schiff. They both co-star with their dogs in the photo book, In Good Company.  Dee also continues to shine her bright light, as she writes, teaches, lectures and coaches her life affirming and goal attaining principals.Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending Aftersun and Daisy Jones & The Six.Path Points of Interest:Adam SchiffMidnight in Washington by Adam SchiffDee WallaceDee Wallace on TwitterFatal AttractionDee Wallace BooksIn Good Company: Notable People With Their Pets by Johanna SiegmannAftersunDaisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins ReidDaisy Jones and The Six - Prime Series

“Jonathan the Gymnast” (November 18, 1986) Technically, Who's the Boss? never did a gay episode, but because Danny Pintauro's sexuality looms large over this sitcom, many episodes seem a little gayer as a result — and this episode especially so. In it, Tony and Angela step into the kitchen to have a frank discussion of why Jonathan is not like other boys, and it really comes off like Who's the Boss? is asking viewers to overlook this aspect of the character. It's fucked up that this happened, and it's one of several occurrences that make Drew utter the phrase “Poor Jonathan.” Check out our sponsor, Spaces!

What is it about Jennifer Kent's film The Babadook that draws so many people in? Before writer/director Jennifer Kent made her debut feature film The Babadook, she made a short film called Monster which bears a lot of similarities with her feature. What it doesn't have is the metaphorical element that the feature carries, but it's got a mom, her son, and a monster living in the closet. In some ways, the streamlined short story works better because it's just a straightforward story. The feature film is hard to separate from its existence as a metaphor as grief. Still, countless people have found a connection with it. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Horror Debuts series with Kent's first film, 2014's The Babadook. Here's a hint at what we talk about in our conversation about The Babadook. Does the fact that the Babadook is so obviously a metaphor for the mother character's grief after losing her husband in a car wreck make the film less interesting? Or perhaps that's its strength and why so many people connect with it. Either way, the film seems to have garnered many fans who love it and just as many who find it too obvious as to what Kent is saying. (Oddly, when Andy first saw the film, he completely ignored any readings of the film and watched it only for what it was, and seeing it that way didn't work that well for him.) What it does do, however, is allow for interesting conversations about grief after watching it, so perhaps it's a win no matter how you see it. But assuming you get past the grief metaphor, what about the way the mother and child are written? It's a difficult duo to connect with because we're asked to join Amelia seven years after she's lost her husband and she's a mess. She also isn't a great parent – Samuel, who's about to turn seven – is aggressive, violent, and uncontrollable. He often seems like he's more in charge than she is. But is that a bad thing if they're written this way and we can't connect? Or does it force us to find a way to sympathize with them? (No matter how you slice it, though, six-year-old Noah Wiseman delivers as strong a child performance in a horror film as Danny Pintauro did in Cujo.) These two elements seem to largely be the things that keep audiences from really connecting with The Babadook. If you can get into the metaphor and if you can connect with the characters, you'll likely love this ride. If you can't truck with one or both of these, however, you may struggle a bit more with the film. And that's where we sit. That's not to say we didn't like The Babadook. Kent clearly has a handle on her directing style. The Babadook looks great. She uses creative transitions. We feel completely in this world and it works well. The character design of Mister Babadook, done with practical effects and patterned in part after Lon Chaney in London After Midnight, is terrifying. And honestly, there may be elements that we each struggle with but we still find it an effective ride. So to that end, should we count this as a win? We think so. It's a strong first film and clearly shows her vision as a storyteller. Plus, it allows for an exciting conversation. We have a great time digging into this one, so check it out then tune in.

There's something truly terrifying about a lovable pet turning on you and attacking. Especially when that pet is a St. Bernard, one of the big dogs with a small barrel of brandy around its neck that's supposed to rescue people lost in the snowy Alps. But that's what makes for great horror, right? Turning something lovable into something horrible. And Stephen King did that perfectly in his novel "Cujo," which was turned into a film in 1983. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our King series with Lewis Teague's great horror film "Cujo." We talk about what the film means to us and why we both love it so much, whether it's as a kid watching it for the first time or as a parent watching it later in life. We discuss the brilliant performances in the film, led by Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro, and how they help ground the film in a reality that works incredibly well for this King tale that surprisingly remains free of supernatural elements. We chat about the production of the film, how Teague came into it late, the great cinematography of Jan De Bont, Charles Bernstein's score and more. We contemplate why the critics at the time really didn't like the film at all, and how it really hasn't changed frustratingly. And we chat about the nature of working with animals, and how animal trainer Karl Miller managed to get all the various performances Teague needed to tell his story out of somewhere between 5 and 10 dogs, not to mention a man in a dog suit. It's a film that is considered "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes, but one that we both love. Watch the film and tune in!* * *Hey! You know what would be awesome?
