Writer, Michael Elias, talks about growing up in the Catskills, where you had to make your money in the summer to survive the winter, and how that created a lot of tension. He also talks about taking acting classes, dealing with being an actor, and how acting helped him build scenes and characters. He talks about working for Glen Campbell without realizing how talented he was. He discusses his book Benders, L.A. and talks about going to Plato's Retreat and not scoring. He talks about Steve Martin and how The Frisco Kid was not what he originally thought it would be. It was originally supposed to be directed by Mike Nichols and star John Wayne. Carl Reiner may have made The Jerk better. Garry Marshall made Young Doctors in Love better, but some movies simply don't turn out the way you want them to. Michael wants people to know that Jews were all over the West and that minorities helped build this country. He says there was always a hangout somewhere. Mel Brooks was an egalitarian. Michael talks about having many writing partners, including Arnie Kogen, Rich Eustis, and Frank Shaw. He talks about getting kicked off The Ed Sullivan Show, writing for The Tonight Show, and learning from Neil Simon and Ed Weinberger.  He wishes he could tell his mother what's going on in his life now and imagines writing letters to her today. He also talks about giving yourself permission to stop reading books halfway through. He remembers me playing with the microphone at my bar mitzvah. He talks about paying rent at forty-two dollars a month while working as a substitute teacher. His father, a doctor, never really understood what he did until he saw the pilot of Head of the Class. Howard Hesseman had demands even though he was about to be fired. Bio: Michael Elias grew up in the Catskill Mountains, a Red Diaper Borscht Belt Baby in a world of artists, intellectuals, tumlers, folk singers, boxers, and Jewish gangsters, some of whom sleep at the bottom of Loch Sheldrake. His childhood heroes were Jerry Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Rocky Marciano, and Abe ‘Kid Twist' Reles. Educated in the classics at St. John's College, Elias took his knowledge of ancient Greek and philosophy to New York, trained at the Actors Studio, acted in The Living Theatre, La MaMa and the Judson Poets Theatre. From there Elias and Frank Shaw dove into the world of stand-up comedy, playing coffee shops, night clubs, with five stints on The Tonight Show. Fired from Ed Sullivan they abandoned the act and came to Hollywood where he and Shaw wrote sit-coms, variety shows, and The Frisco Kid. After parting ways, Elias participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement, earned a subpoena from a Nixon grand jury, and teamed up with Rich Eustis and created Head of the Class. Elias continues to write novels and screenplays in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Bianca Roberts and their dachshund Mabel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For Max Fun Drive 2026 (starting this Monday 4/20)the Peaches issued a fiendish challenge to one another -- we each get ONE pick to bedevil the others with, and Stuart starts us off with a doozy: 1994's EXIT TO EDEN.

Mark and John discuss the 1987 rom-com Overboard. Directed by Garry Marshall and starring Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, and a miniature golf course, the movie focuses on what happens when a guy goes to extreme lengths to get free daycare for his children. In this episode, they also talk about rom-com insanity, spiraling lies, and the excellence of Goldie Hawn. Enjoy!

La structure en trois actes est la plus classique des architectures narratives, mais comme tout modèle, il convient d'en étudier les atouts et d'en délimiter les faiblesses. Estelle l'expose en détail, avant de bien rappeler que c'est un outil mieux adapté à certains types de récits plutôt que d'autres – ce qui lui donne une utilité secrète : importer les forces de certains types de récits dans d'autres. Lionel trouve que pour un outil fondamental, la structure n'aide en réalité pas vraiment à architecturer une histoire, mais qu'elle apporte la conscience fondamentale du rythme et de la cohérence d'une histoire et ce à tous les échelons. Mélanie ne l'applique pas consciemment, et rappelle qu'on peut tout à fait absorber une conscience intuitive de ce genre de structure par l'exposition répétée à des histoires sous toutes leurs formes.

TVC 727.3: Tony, Donna, and Ed discuss Rob Reiner's production company, Castle Rock Entertainment, which produced, among other things, the long-running sitcom Seinfeld; the role that Reiner played in bringing Michael McKean and David L. Lander to the attention of Garry Marshall, which led to Marshall casting McKean and Lander as Lenny and Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley; and Reiner's marriages to Penny Marshall and Michele Singer.

This week, Julian, Emilio, and Madeline are joined by comedian Sydney Duncan to discuss two films that launched their leading ladies to superstardom - William Wyler's “Roman Holiday” from 1953 and Garry Marshall's “Pretty Woman” from 1990. The group draws comparisons both salient and subtle, and examines the aspects of Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts' performances that solidify these roles as their breakouts. The group also discusses the role that class plays in each of these films and the relationships at their center. Among the many similarities, they also observe that one of the best-known scenes in each film features a kindred improvisatory moment.You can follow Sydney Duncan on Instagram and TikTok @sydneyduncanonem, and catch her on the Maude and Betty house teams at UCB NY.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Today we are discussing the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman! We debate whether this movie is a step forward or backward for feminism, its class systems, meaningful apologies, retail revenge, happy endings, charm, & more! Plus, Seinfeld, the Mandela Effect, The Little Mermaid, The Princess Diaries, & Audrey Hepburn! This episode was originally released on September 5, 2022 I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall, from a screenplay by J. F. Lawton. The film stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and features Héctor Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy (in his final performance), Laura San Giacomo, and Jason Alexander in supporting roles. The film's story centers on down-on-her-luck Hollywood prostitute Vivian Ward and wealthy businessman Edward Lewis. Vivian is hired to be Edward's escort for several business and social functions, and their relationship develops over the course of her week-long stay with him. The film's title Pretty Woman is based on the 1964 song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison. It is the first film on-screen collaboration between Gere and Roberts; their second film, Runaway Bride, was released in 1999. Originally intended to be a dark cautionary tale about class and prostitution in Los Angeles, the film was re-conceived as a romantic comedy with a large budget. It was widely successful at the box office and was the third-highest-grossing film of 1990. The film saw the highest number of ticket sales in the US ever for a romantic comedy,[2] with Box Office Mojo listing it as the number-one romantic comedy by the highest estimated domestic tickets sold.

The second Valentine's Day Movies Actually episode takes a strong left turn from the warm and fuzzy feels of the Garry Marshall  ensemble rom-com they covered a couple years ago. This time, Kerry and Collin are joined by their resident slasher movie expert, Patrick Ripoll, to discuss the 1981 cult classic, "My Bloody Valentine" (later remade in 2009). What makes this particular masked killer so distinct from the likes of Jason, Freddy, Michael, Ricky, Chucky, et al? Why was there never a sequel to this film when there was clearly a lot that could be done with it? How does the remake hold up against the original? They get into all of these issues after Patrick and Collin talk about the coincidental movie project they both happen to be working on separately. Also, the latest and greatest in physical media with the Blu-ray Gift Exchange.  Listen to Patrick Ripoll on 96 Greers and follow his Hitchcock project throughout the year on Director's Club.  Visit collinsouter.com RogerEbert.com Follow Collin and Kerry on Letterboxd.

Welcome to the podcast Hacking the Afterlife. I tend to put information here that gives context to the podcast. In that vein, for those unfamiliar with what we're doing: At what point in time is it okay to ask recently deceased people questions on the flipside? When is too soon? When is it inappropriate?  Some context: as a filmmaker, I've written and or directed 10 feature films, made a number of documentaries about the afterlife, and have spoken at UVA Medical school DOPS regarding how the footage shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. I've interviewed some of those agents from the FBI, LAPD (NYPD) who work with her on a daily basis. A third of her practice is pro bono work with law enforcement. She also works with a number of people who knew Rob and Michelle, and the families of Kobe Bryant and Steve Jobs have allowed her to mention that she works with them. Ten years ago, I began working with Jennifer - we met for lunch and have been talking since then. The past five years on our podcast. Our moderator on the flipside is Luana Anders - who worked with Rob Reiner in the film THE LAST DETAIL. Luana died in my arms, and began visiting me not long after (back in 1996). It took me until 2004 to investigate how it was possible she could communicate with me - and upon meeting Jennifer I realized I could have conversations with her. And indeed - we've been doing that nonstop for over ten years. Luana was in many films - worked with Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and others - and in my case, I worked with Ray Charles in the film LIMIT UP where he plays “God.” The point is that it's “six degrees of separation.” If Luana knows someone, or I worked with someone, it's easier for us to verify those details. I knew Penny Marshall, we did a gig together once, I appeared on Laverne and Shirley once (cutting room floor because Harry Dean Stanton's song went long.) So when this question is asked; “Are you going to be speaking to Rob and Michelle soon?” it comes from the couple of hundred interviews we have on the podcast HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on YouTube. In terms of our podcast, people tend to miss the notion that we aren't in charge of the guest list. Since Jennifer and I have begun to talk to the flipside, it's really up to Luana Anders to decide who is “ready to be interviewed.” In terms of how that works, sometimes I “hear” a voice from someone I knew or know - and when that happens, I'll say to myself “Well, if this person wants to show up for a conversation, they know where to find us.” And then - since Jennifer and I have been doing that for over the past ten years, frequently I'll show up for a meeting with her - and she'll say “so and so is here.” That has happened more often than I can recall. I can report that I heard Robert Kennedy's voice one day saying “I understand you're the person I need to speak with to get a message to my family.” I had the presence of mind to not judge that I heard his distinct voice - and said to him; “Actually I'm not the guy, you need to find Luana.” The next day I went to meet with Jennifer and she said before I could say anything; “Robert Kennedy is here.” The other day during the Frank Gehry interview, I heard his voice (or had the impression of hearing his voice) saying “Yes, I'll be on your podcast.” And not believing that it was actually him and not my imagination, I said to him “Well, we met through Sally Kellerman, so if you do want to speak to us, Sally should show up and I'll know it's you.” And during that podcast, at first Jennifer said “Luana says you have someone” and then said “Hot Lips is here.” (Sally Kellerman's role in the film MASH.) So I knew that Frank was available to converse. In this case, we have spoken to Rob Reiner's ex, Penny whom I was pals with. When she crossed over, we have a conversation with the one and only. We've also interview Garry Marshall, whom I knew when he was still on the planet - so it wasn't hard for us to connect with Penny. Generally - what we've learned recently is that Luana Anders is teaching a class in the flipside in how to communicate with us. The class - is large. We've spoken to quite a few people in the past ten years. So all that being said, I was wondering if we'd be speaking to Rob and his wife Michelle this week. A friend of mine who has done a guided meditation session with me said “I have the feeling you're going to be speaking to Rob Reiner this week.” I said “It may be too soon - but I have to be open to whomever does show up.” In other words - I know how tragic the event is, I know how raw his friends feel - and some of them I know well enough to say that I know they'd be upset to hear that we were inviting him to our podcast. This week - I'm about to post it - he does show up. I ask Luana “Who is here on your guest list” and Jennifer makes a face and says “Rob Reiner.” Then she said “He's just observing. He doesn't want to speak. But he's observing the class.” We've had that before - where people show up to just observe this give and take to see what it is. In the Frank Gehry podcast I asked him if he was ready to converse (He was friends with Luana and I told him at a party that I had scattered some of his old friend's ashes at the Guggenheim in Bilbao) - and we ask him about that on the podcast. The point is - without context it may seem exploitive to converse with someone who is recently passed. I know that some people are offended that we speak to anyone in this fashion - however, as I try to point out, as a filmmaker for the past 40 years, a music critic at Variety, and since Luana was in over 100 films and TV shows - between us we know many folks on the flipside, and she has many of them in her class on how to “communicate with the denser realm.” (Folks onstage). So Rob and Michelle may talk to us in the future. That's up to them. Again - it's not my opinion, theory or belief that people exist after leaving the stage - it's what the footage, data and research show. People can spend their lives believing that life ends, and be completely startled, shocked to realize life goes on. That our manner of passing isn't as relevant as our many of living - and how many people we've affected or cared about. Love is all there is. So it's a cogent question, and the answer is revealed in today's podcast: “Yes, he still exists and No, he's not ready to talk about it yet.” We'll see if he is at a future date. The point of the podcast (and the underlying point of the question) is that “everyone can communicate with people offstage” - our loved ones are not gone, they just aren't here. I'm sorry that bothers some people - but I wouldn't be accurate if I didn't report verbatim what the data, research or footage was showing. Hope this helps someone. For people who want to communicate directly with loved ones, I can recommend Jennifer's help - there's also her "Wine & Spirits" events in Manhattan beach. For those willing to do hypnotherapy, I recommend Scott at LightBetweenLives.com - a way to explore in detail. For those who are familiar with guided meditation, I can help them access their teachers and guides via RichardMartini.com Hope this helps.

Welcome to The First Ones, an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro picks a show from yesteryear and then rallies some (or all) of the fellas to join him in recapping just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape. This month in the season 1 finale of The First Ones, Sarcastro is joined by Queen Mel who has become part of the POoRCHoices family and the official co-host of the show moving foward.  Fatty and Banky also sat in on the episode to talk about Mork & Mindy from 1978, based on a cameo character on another Garry Marshall show, Happy Days, and helped to launch the career of Robin Williams and co-starred Pam Dawber.   Theme song performed and interpreted by Sarcastro with an assist from Banky.  

For our Musicians-Turned-Actor cycle "Two Shot", Madeline, Emilio and Julian are swinging for the fences with an unexpected pair of films - Penny Marshall's 1992 baseball classic 'A League of Their Own' and Olivia Wilde's 2022 release 'Don't Worry Darling', featuring acting performances by Madonna and Harry Styles, respectively.  The cohosts are joined by Emilio's pop culture literate sister Maria-Elena to make some connections between these two films, one a unanimous home run, the other... perhaps a base hit.  They discuss the ways each film uses and considers their respective celebrity musician's star power, how both films theme of women's empowerment is conveyed to viewers, the small moments characters have that are meant to convey more, and the moments and details that both delight and leave us with more questions than answers.  Doris and Mae are a couple, right?  And who between these two films appears to be a "gaslighting gatekeeping girl boss" in waiting?Listeners: AS A CHILD, WHAT MOVIE LIVED IN YOUR VCR (OR DVD PLAYER) FOR WEEKS AT A TIME?  Respond here to this question (or with any other feedback too!), and we'll compile your responses and share our own thoughts in an upcoming episode!https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjZUC7GOu2-tOXhnbvtfboNBeSZ9LqLBxkIIUo-keD1eqKew/viewform?usp=dialogIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Welcome back to another episode of [Podcast Name], where we dive deep into the conversations that truly matter—about love, success, and stepping fully into your power. Today's episode is a special one because we're sitting down with the incredible Natalie Stavola—an accomplished actress, producer, and transformational coach who's made it her mission to help people break through emotional barriers and finally claim the love and life they've always dreamed of. Born in Danbury, Connecticut, Natalie's journey has been anything but ordinary.She's worked alongside Hollywood icon Garry Marshall, not only as a collaborator but also under his mentorship—a testament to her talent, commitment, and presence in the industry. Her success on screen is only part of her story. Behind the scenes, Natalie has also emerged as a powerful force in the personal development world, helping both men and women navigate the complex terrain of relationships, self-worth, and personal breakthroughs. But her story didn't begin in the spotlight—it began in the shadows, facing toxic relationships, the effects of addiction, and years of struggling to feel comfortable in her skin. That deep discomfort eventually became the catalyst for transformation. What started as her quest to heal from trauma, release limiting beliefs, and rebuild her sense of self has since evolved into a proven system that has helped thousands of clients reclaim their confidence, set healthy boundaries, and attract the love, success, and fulfillment they deserve. In today's episode, we're bringing some high-level conversation to the forefront. We're unpacking some bold and necessary topics—like the role of women as dating coaches in a male-dominated industry, why narcissists often accuse you of being narcissistic the moment you dare to set boundaries, and how simply owning your space and presence as a fully expressed human being can unintentionally make others uncomfortable—and why that's actually a sign of growth. So whether you're here to learn, heal, or simply feel inspired, you're in the right place. Get ready to shift perspectives, challenge old narratives, and step into your next level of self-awareness. Let's get into it.Chapters:0:00 – Welcome & Introduction0:34 – Understanding H.H.A.L.T. and Its Impact on You4:38 – Should Only Men Be Dating Coaches?8:55 – Why Narcissists Call You a Narcissist When You Set Boundaries24:32 – When Being Personable Makes Others Uncomfortable34:28 – Rewriting Your Mindset in the Modern Dating World37:50 – Confirmation Bias in Dating: Recognizing and Shifting the Pattern→ CONTACT NATALIE STAVOLA ON SOCIAL MEDIA ← INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/natalie.stavola/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nataliestavola/?hl=enWEBSITE: https://www.lovecoach247.com/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-stavola-86143753/IMBD: https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimdb.me%2Fnataliestavola&e=AT3yFeIvBoYyC1MCwcjozjoCRgRBd-A_MXGAufynC1aWYDRlVq5CGNruVpNtHTAi8luSzK-Btn9j0F28rrT-c3M4uQwaZrRroow8zKcH8RQwR_vM

In 1983, as Laverne and Shirley came to an end and as Happy Days was wrapping up its run, Garry Marshall came up with this series about high school friends, one of whom became a computer millionaire and the other becoming his assistant.  The show came across as more of a showcase of Michael Richards' brand of physical comedy than anything else.  The best part of this pilot was the ads before and throughout the show.

In this episode of 1049 Park Avenue we review two very important documents: 1) Courtesy of the Garry Marshall archives at Northwestern University is the actual pilot testing report for the first episode of The Odd Couple – “The Laundry Orgy”. 2) The script for The Rain In Spain which we compare to the actual filmed episode. Also, Garrett has a new book out about the famous screenwriter and playwright Ben Hecht which can be purchased on Amazon or here

Enter Nicholas Devereaux (Chris Pine, Star Trek, Wonder Woman), a charming royal with his own claim to the throne whose alliance with Mia sparks both political intrigue and unexpected romance.

The film also features John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones) as the scheming Grand Duke, Callum Blue (Ready Player One, The L Word) as Mia's princely suitor, Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Scream 2) reprising her role as best friend Lilly, and Raven-Symoné (That's So Raven, The Cheetah Girls) as the delightfully eccentric Lady in Waiting.

Edward Berger's new CONCLAVE is a low-key, intimate political thriller full of unexpected reveals, but fundamentally about power, purity, belief, compromise, perception, and committee decisions. This week we share our thoughts on CONCLAVE's insular focus and messaging around religion and politics before considering how its power brokers and kingmakers compare to those found in the 1964 presidential-candidate drama THE BEST MAN, and the two films' overlapping ideas about whether politics demands hypocrisy. And for Your Next Picture Show, we offer a recommendation for THE DEATH OF STALIN, a radically different movie about the vacuum left when a powerful man dies, and the jockeying and chicanery that follows. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE BEST MAN, CONCLAVE, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next Pairing: Sean Baker's ANORA and Garry Marshall's PRETTY WOMAN. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
