"Let's fold scarves." Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997) directed by David Mirkin and starring Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow, Janeane Garofalo and Alan Cumming Next Time: The Birdcage (1996)
"Homes and Jojo" (May 1, 1989) Newhart is a show about white people who live in the snow, and while 70s-era Bob Newhart sitcom is the one pop culture remembers better, this is the longer-lived, more-Emmy-nominated of the two. What the 80s-era Bob New1hart sitcom has working in its favor are future Simpsons showrunner David Mirkin, who gives a host of wacky townspeople not unlike what you'd find in Springfield, and the duo of Julia Duffy and Peter Scolari, who male a perfect yuppie couple worthy of mockery. It's great. Here, learn about it.

This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 2001's mother-daughter crime caper: Heartbreakers. This movie is pretty much perfect. From Sigourney's full body lace wedding look to Jennifer Love Hewitt's perfect bouncing boobies to Gene Hackman's gorgeous cough to Ray Liotta's baby blues this movie has a little something for everyone! The film has aged beautifully except that none of the cons they pull could be pulled in today's society. Imagine having to create that many social media accounts for all your different aliases...yikes. Topics this week include Ray Liotta giving you cunnilingus, Jennifer Love Hewitt's bra straps, and Sigourney Weaver's iconic Russian accent. All that and so much more on this week's Mummy Dearest!Support the show

This Week Tom's tellling us what kept Stayin' Alive off the top of the charts and Mark explains why Dido might just be nuts! ------ "Bart's Girlfriend" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 6, 1994. The plot of the episode follows the secret romance of Bart and Jessica Lovejoy, Reverend Lovejoy's daughter. Bart tries to end the romance when he discovers that, behind her innocent façade as a preacher's kid, she is an even bigger troublemaker than he is. Jessica then steals the money from the church collection plate, leaving Bart to take the blame until Lisa exposes the truth. The episode was written by Jonathan Collier and directed by Susie Dietter. Show runner David Mirkin originally came up with the idea of Bart having a girlfriend that was more evil than he was. Meryl Streep guest stars in the episode as Jessica Lovejoy. It features cultural references to films such as Planet of the Apes and The Silence of the Lambs. Since airing, the episode has received acclaim from both critics and fans, and Entertainment Weekly named Meryl Streep's role as one of the best guest appearances on The Simpsons.

In 1989, Paul McCartney hit the road again for the first time in a decade. That same year, the longest running sitcom in US TV history debuted, and like Sir Paul, The Simpsons is still in action today. In addition to the high-calibre talent involved from day one, the show has made frequent references to The Beatles, culminating with three episodes featuring guest appearances by the three ex-Beatles. In this special expanded edition, we hear from writer/producer Jeff Martin, who wrote “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” (which featured George); and writer/director/show runner David Mirkin, who went to Sussex to record the McCartneys (for “Lisa the Vegetarian”) and experienced something every Beatle fan can only imagine… This is a NEW PHASE SATB episode…. Making his final appearance is our original co-host. Making a cameo in this episode is upcoming guest, Arion Salazar – original bassist with Third Eye Blind and on tour this year with XEB. The post 122: Simpsons Stories appeared first on Something About The Beatles.

As a creator, writer, director and producer of television and film, Dave Mirkin has made quite an impact. He's been behind some of the biggest television comedies both from the standpoint of audience and in terms of the impact on the culture of television comedy and entertainment. From The Larry Sanders Show to The Simpsons and Newhart, Dave takes us through a bit of his world as it emerges through a robust career. He talks about his good friend Carrie Fisher and their adventure together on a cruise ship filled with the best and the brightest from the arts and technology. J.Elvis Weinstein joins Mark for this conversation along with comedy writer, Laura House. Mark starts the show with a 3 minute update from last week's story on the police in L.A. and a community outreach young cadet program that has ended up in an arrest of an officer and cadets.

TODAY: David Mirkin, American feature film and television writer and director. Originally beginning as an electrical engineer, Mirkin quickly realized that this career path wasn't for him and began his career as a writer, with early credits on Three's Company and The Larry Sanders Show. He is best known for his tenure as the showrunner for The Simpsons, starting in season 5, and is credited with introducing more surreal elements and ideas for the show, such as the famous episode Deep Space Homer. During his time with the show he would win 4 Emmy awards and a Peabody award before leaving the position after season 6. Since then, he has had a recurring presence on the show, and has gone on to write and direct feature films such as Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and Heartbreakers. Popcorn Talk Network, the online broadcast network that features movie discussion, news, interviews and commentary proudly presents “The Film Scene w/ Illeana Douglas”, a weekly, freewheeling discussion show where industry veteran Illeana Douglas interviews Hollywood's most important voices in TV and Film, discussing some of Cinema's most important films, scenes, and shots.
