Send us a textDo you remember Desperately Seeking Susan from 1985? This movies got good review but the trailer sucked. Our recollection of Madonna Movies in the 80s is not overly favorable. The plot sounds ridiculous, but the nostalgia is definitely there. So join us as we go back and watch Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, and a whole list of famous actors not quite famous yet, get into some wacky hijinks that only the 80s could produce. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

#057 Desperately Seeking Feedback

In this episode, Neil delves into the often uncomfortable yet essential topic of guest feedback. Drawing parallels to the 80s comedy "Desperately Seeking Susan," Neil emphasises the importance of actively seeking feedback to enhance the hosting experience. He shares five compelling reasons why feedback is crucial, including the need for hosts to understand their guests' needs, avoid surprise negative reviews, and demonstrate genuine care for their guests' experiences. KEY TAKEAWAYS Regularly ask guests for feedback during their stay, such as upon arrival, halfway through, and at checkout. This proactive approach helps identify and resolve issues before they lead to negative reviews. Feedback is essential for understanding what guests truly want and need. For example, providing comfortable furniture and addressing safety concerns can significantly enhance their experience. Actively seeking feedback demonstrates to guests that you value their opinions and are invested in their experience. This can lead to higher satisfaction and better reviews. Embrace negative feedback as an opportunity for growth. It can reveal areas for improvement that you may not have considered, ultimately making you a better host. Encourage open dialogue with guests. When they see you actively seeking their input, it fosters an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, leading to a more positive experience for everyone involved. BEST MOMENTS "Feedback is absolutely crucial if you want to level up your hosting game." "How do you know how to grow your business if no one gives you a baseline to work from?" "Guests want to feel like they're heard and valued." "You can't fix what you didn't know was broken." "What gets measured improves."

Born into a military family, it was a twist of fate which led him to the theatre, where he contributed to iconic productions such as Phantom of the Opera. Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999. Financial challenges in 2017 are what prompted a strategic shift to Airbnb hosting, proving a reliable backup income. By 2021, Neil and his business partner triumphed over significant debt, fuelled by their resilience and the success of Neil's Airbnb venture. Now, Neil has left the corporate world behind, thriving solely through his flourishing Airbnb endeavours.

When Madonna, then just barely famous, auditioned for the title role of 1985's “Desperately Seeking Susan,” she made it clear to the film's studio executive, Barbara Boyle, how badly she wanted the part. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, one person was killed and seven were injured in a three-alarm fire that tore through an Upper East Side apartment building, drawing more than 130 firefighters to battle the flames. A New Yorker who was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 was confirmed dead, according to the Israeli military. And in the south, a woman who admitted to drinking and who was driving well over twice the speed limit when she smashed into a golf cart, killing a bride who had just got married at a South Carolina beach, was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

She's a film director who made a movie called Desperately Seeking Susan. It's a caper that revolves around mistaken identity starring Rosanna Arquette and a then unknown Madonna. Seidelman went on to direct She Devil with Meryl Streep in her first comedic role. But Hollywood is a tough place for women directors. Nora Ephron came on the scene and directed Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail in the 1990s. And 25 years later Greta Gerwig had a big hit with Barbie. Seidelman eventually started working in TV, directing the pilot episode of a series that was to become a cultural icon, Sex and the City. We talk about sexism, ageism and the challenge of staying on top of your game. “Now What?” is produced with help from Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Stacey Maltin.

Trailblazing movie director Susan Seidelman, shares a funny and insightful first-person story of her life from her Twiggy-obsessed girlhood to the Madonna-mania of the 80's and beyond in her memoir, DESPERATELY SEEKING SOMETHING: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls. Her genre-blending films reflect a passion for classic Hollywood storytelling, mixed with a playful New Wave spirit, informed by her years living in downtown NYC. Starting out in the mid-70s, a time when few women were directing movies, Susan was determined to become a filmmaker. She longed to tell stories about the unrepresented characters she wanted to see on screen: unconventional women in unusual circumstances, needing to express themselves and maintain their autonomy. Her fearless punk drama, Smithereens became the first American indie film to compete at Cannes, and smash hit Desperately Seeking Susan led to a four-decade career in film. Seidelman continued to shape American pop culture well into the nineties, directing the pilot of the iconic TV series Sex And The City, focusing her sharp lens on the changing place of women in American society and helping to fundamentally reshape our self-image in ways that are still felt today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Susan Seidelman Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson I've been desperately seeking Susan Seidelman for 14 years… some things, some Susans, are worth waiting for! Loved every second with this film maverick whom I've admired since we were both kicking around Greenwich Village, kinda “bad girls,” who looked, good. There's so much common thread (well, except the whole success thing), as Susan points out when we traded books, do all Jewish girls from New York have the word “Mother” in their subtitles? That's how I finally got the affirmative nod. Susan's memoir, Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls, drops on June 18th, a few days after my mother's birthday. Fitting. I've been flying through it, unable to put it down, and rewatching Susan's classics. How many times have I seen Desperately Seeking Susan, Madonna's first and best film role, how Susan fought for her, Roseanna, how she struggled a bit with her, lessons learned, and success beyond imagining. Smithereen's, Susan's first film, was also the first American Independent feature to be screened at Cannes. We get back and front story here. Casting Wren, some hardships turned into blessings. Making Mr. Right... her casting and why… and She Devil - which featured Meryl Streep's first comedic role, and Roseann Barr's first feature. Meeting Meryl for the first time… Sex and The City, where Susan directed the pilot and the first 3 episodes… with Susan, so many firsts! We didn't even get to the latter today (but, it's in the book!) there were so many films to mine! We talked about how she came to film and squeezed in a few more… Cookie, Musical Chairs, and The Boynton Beach Club, her mother's original idea which Susan honed and ran with. All of Susan's films break ground, spin things around, and are ahead of their time. Both Wren (Susan Berman) in Smithereens and Susan (Madonna) in Desperately, open the films with selfies for starters… I mean, come on! Susan Seidelman is important. As a woman, a filmmaker, and now as an author. Treat yourself! Stream her films and race to Amazon and preorder her fabulous memoir https://bit.ly/3RjlWqbn you'll get the heart and soul behind each of her treasures. Susan's writing is open, vulnerable, and as riveting as her movies.

Yes there's still some grisly violence but this time that's paired up with a lighter mystery plot, a diamond heist, and a spunky new sidekick for Robert McCall. EQ is helping out Mrs. Rutherford (Maureen Stapleton), an older woman who's witnessed a murder and whose head is otherwise in the clouds from all the cheap mystery novels she reads. And she insists on a female bodyguard, so on Mickey's recommendation EQ enlists the help of Trudy Collins (Laura San Giacomo) who looks straight out of Desperately Seeking Susan. All that plus a mystery plot twist and a rather gratuitous strip club scene.

The amazingly talented star of stage (Hair, Broadway Bounty Hunter, Into the Woods) and screen (Miami Vice, Cheers, Orange is the New Black), Annie Golden, blows our minds with her stories! Annie talks about how singing with her band, The Shirts at CBGB's in the 70s, led to her being discovered by Miloš Forman, who cast her in Hair. This launched a career on Broadway and a solo singing career which led to her having a song (“Hang Up the Phone”) featured on the Sixteen Candles soundtrack. From there, she pivoted to the small and big screens with roles in 80s classics like Baby Boom, Cheers, and Desperately Seeking Susan.  She has most recently been in Orange is the New Black as the lovable mute, Norma Romano and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as Marge. She was also the special guest of Phish's most recent NYE performance at Madison Square Garden. We were thrilled to have her join us.  Purchase the Broadway Bounty Hunter Original Cast Recording starring Annie.

Rock & Roll Hall of FameA Tribute to My Guest This Week ~ Broadcast Radio Icon Jerry Blavat. He began his career as a 13 year old on the TV show Bandstand.Jerry is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame & After over 50 years in broadcasting, STILL Rock Out Weekly on WVLT, online & at LIVE shows! In 1960, he started his own radio talk show on WCAM (AM), in Camden, New Jersey. (He won the show in a crap game). On a snowy night in mid January, pulling out a stack of records, he began entertaining listeners throughout the night, and the legend of "The Geator" was born. In the mid-sixties, reports had his audience at a half million teenagers per month. Much of Jerry's broadcasts in the early days were done on reel to reel tape. Recording the program in his garage studio, the tapes played while Blavat made personal appearances. In the mid-sixties, Jerry's broadcasts were also added for a time to the program schedule of WHAT. On that station, Blavat stated that he only made $18 a week ($1.50 per hour). Most of his audience didn't buy it, but it was true. The real money was at the hops, not on the air. However, Blavat knew he needed the airwaves to promote the appearances. In 1965, he produced and hosted his own TV show "The Discophonic Scene" on CBS' Philadelphia outlet WCAU-TV. From 1967-70, the show aired on WFIL-TV, Channel Six and was syndicated through Triangle Publications coast-to-coast in 40 markets. When the British Invasion came along, Jerry never became part of it. He didn't like format radio, never participated in it and has always been his own man. In 1966, Jerry said: "It had been hell during the Beatles reign, when there had been much pressure to get on the bandwagon. But I sensed that it just didn't have enough soul for my kids... So I finally gave in and played a few, and I got bombarded by phone calls saying 'Geator, what you doing, man?'" In April of 1972 he became one of the first on-air personalities on WCAU-FM, an oldies station. In 1987, Blavat moved to "Philly Gold Radio," WPGR. It became "Geator Gold Radio" in April of 1992 when Blavat purchased the station. Until this day, Jerry is seen on many local and national TV shows. He has been with PBS on their Doo Wop specials working with the show's producer, T. J. Lubinsky. When the shows aired locally over WHYY-TV, Jerry Blavat was the area's host. Throughout his career, Jerry has appeared on "The Tonight Show," "The Mike Douglas Show," "The Joey Bishop Show," "The Mod Squad," and "The Monkees." Jerry Blavat has appeared in feature films including "Desperately Seeking Susan," "Baby, It's You," and "Cookie." After WPGR, the Geator then built studios in Center City. He currently broadcasts his Cruisin' 92.1, WVLT. In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia's "Hall of Fame". He still owns his own nightclub called Memories in Margate, NJ He works at various clubs most nights & has a show yearly at the Kimmel Center. While many refer to James Brown as "the hardest working man in show business," the title should belong to Jerry Blavat, who said many years ago: "I may not be the best jock in the world, but I've got my own built-in excitement meter.© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!2024 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
