Vonda Shepard talks with Steve Cooper. Vonda is best known for her work on Ally McBeal. She was the “Greek Chorus” for Ally's emotions and thoughts. There were often cover tunes from the 50's, 60's and earlier back, but David E. Kelley (the show's creator) would always interweave her original songs throughout the five years of Ally McBeal. She sold over twelve million albums, has won two Golden Globes, two Emmy Awards, two Screen Actor's Guild awards and recorded nine solo albums. She also holds the Billboard prize for selling the most TV soundtracks in history.

On this episode of "What in the Reality Hell", Brandon and Gia veer off of Bravo a little bit and dive into the newest season of Big Brother! They go over their faves, who they find annoying, and whether they think the season is overall entertaining. They then move onto RHOBH where they discuss their true feelings about Kyle, whether or not they believe Erika, and why they find Sutton to be very interesting. The conversation switches to the wonderful RHOP where they both express their frustrations with Wendy, why they are enjoying newbie Mia, and who they find to be the Greek Chorus of the show. By the end of the episode, they also get into their excitement for season 2 of RHOSLC!
In this episode, we talk with Bob Cram, Jr., author and illustrator, about his love of Grosse Pointe Blank, why he thinks John Cusack should get back into writing and producing, and how the GPB soundtrack acts as the Greek Chorus of the film. We also compare John Cusack's career with Nicolas Cage's, tussle about who the better Wilson brother is, and try to survive the summer heat. All of this and more on this episode of So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, a little concern put together to remind you all that this podcast is us...breathing.Bob Cram Jr. is a writer and illustrator who grew up in the shadow of Mount Katahdin. He would like to be mysterious, but is instead, at best, ambiguous. While his past has included stints as an actor, comic book editor, and web developer, it's really not as interesting as it sounds. Except for working on The Incredible Hulk that one time. That was cool. He's published two books - the sci-fi/horror/comedy/adventure novel The Monster War and a collection of horror movie reviews, 31 Days, 31 Horror Movies. He also writes “Fear Flashback,” a weekly horror movie review column at screenagewasteland.com. He is a total nerd, as his wife Maureen will eagerly attest. He will, on occasion, draw stuff.
Moses pleads with God to let him into Israel. But God refuses. Instead of trying to explain away and rationalize away God's decision, might it be better to just acknowledge that this is sad, this is heartbreaking, this is a tragedy? Our culture has forgotten how to process the tragic. We try to smooth things over with clichés and silver linings. The Ancient Greeks knew how to confront tragedy: by accepting it, reveling in it, exalting in it. They did so not through logic but through music, through the Greek Chorus of the tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles. Music which does not contain shades of the tragic will not register with us, will sound superfluous and irritating. When he was with the Beatles, John Lennon's songs took listeners through the spectrum of human emotion. Yet, in his final album, Lennon forgot how to create the Dionysian music of the Ancient Greek theater. steventobyweinberg.comIG: Stevehead0001Music: The Beatles - "Her Majesty"

On this week's deep dive, The Cultists Present Quentin Dupieux's ‘Rubber' (2010). Notoriously known as that movie where a tire gains psychokinetic powers and just enough sentience to go on a killing spree, this film often gets tragically mis-labeled as your standard B-rated monster movie horror romp. And yet, Rubber is anything but. Once and best described as ‘Samuel Beckett by way of Roger Corman,' from surface to core, "Rubber" is a modern staple of absurdist theater lovingly transposed to celluloid. Pulling from classical absurdist plays like Eugene Ionesco's The Chairs; enacting human-pawn replicas of the weirder particulate behaviorisms of quantum mechanics; and weighing in on the old Aristotle debate on the proper use of The Chorus in Attic dramas, Rubber is A LOT of things. (And all of those things are pretty damn spectacular). Deep dives for this one include: Albert Camus, Martin Esslin, and The Theater of the Absurd; Absurdism vs. Surrealism; psychokinesis vs. telekinesis; the music of “Mr. Oizo”; The August Schlegel vs. Aristotle approach to interpreting the function of the Greek Chorus; Eugene Ionesco's use of chairs; Tom Stoppard's use of the invisible conceit of the actor-audience bond, and, of course, quantum mechanics. Episode Safe Word: “rationality”

We're living through epic times...B Johnson calls a second national lockdown inevitably. Yet he acts weeks after he was advised to do so..the same dark sequence as in the spring. When leaders are out of their depth they repeat past misjudgements almost knowingly. Meanwhile K Starmer suspends J Corbyn to the predictable cheers of the fickle Greek Chorus of commentators-but was he right to do so? And the minor matter of the US presidential election..
In this episode, At the Brewvies covers the 1986 musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Female protagonists in peril are the focus of one very silly and one very melancholy production running now in the North Bay. Left Edge Theatre’s “Women in Jeopardy!” is a laugh-out-loud look at the changing dynamic among a group of single friends once one of them begins a relationship. That the friends are middle-aged women makes for a nice change of pace. Mary (Shannon Rider) and Jo (Sandra Ish) are having a tough time adjusting to a new addition to their circle of friends. Their friend Liz (Angela Squire) has a new man in her life and Jackson (Richard Pallaziol) is not quite their cup of tea. He’s a dentist who makes Little Shop of Horrors’ Orin Scrivello, DDS look like a pussycat. His hygienist has gone missing and it doesn’t take long for Mary and Liz to leap to the conclusion that he’s the responsible party. What’s worse, he’s about to take Liz’s daughter off on a camping trip. What do you do when your best friend is dating a serial killer? All three wine-swilling ladies have their comedic moments, with Ish’s frequently flabbergasted second-banana Jo garnering a lot of laughs with just a look. Pallaziol is hilariously creepy as Jackson and equally amusing as a Dudley Do-Right-ish police sergeant. Victoria Saitz as Mary’s daughter and Zane Walters as her cougar-hunting on again/off again boyfriend also contribute to the fun. The show is a lot of fun with Wendy MacLeod’s script full of witty lines and amusing bits. What the show doesn’t have is an ending as things just sort of conclude with an abrupt wind-up that you shouldn’t think too hard about. You really don’t have to expend many brain cells at all as there’s no great message to be found in “Women in Jeopardy!”, just a lot of laughs. “Women in Jeopardy!” runs through May 27th at Left Edge Theatre in Santa Rosa. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 8pm; there’s a Sunday matinee at 2pm. For more information, go to leftedgethreatre.com If Greek mythology is more to your taste, then Main Stage West has a production of Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice” running through June 2. Ruhl has flipped the focus of the classic tale of Orpheus (Taylor Diffenderfer) and his quest to bring his wife Eurydice (Brianna Rene Dinges) back from the dead to Eurydice’s time in the Underworld and her relationship with her father (John Craven). Director Chris Ginesi flips it even further with the non-traditional casting of Orpheus that while seeming to fit Ruhl’s alternative world of raining elevators, a tricycle-riding Lord of the Underworld (Neil Thollander), and a Greek Chorus of Talking Stones (mollie boice, Nick Christenson, Samantha Bolke-Slater), actually detracts from it. It’s a visually arresting piece with inventive design elements that complement the script’s other-worldliness and the performances are good, but there’s a hole in the heart of this production. “Eurydice’' runs through June 2 at Main Stage West in Sebastopol. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 8pm; their Sunday matinee is at 5pm. For more information, go to mainstagewest.com
Don't you hate it when you're watching a movie and don't know how to feel? Lucky for you, the ancient greeks felt the same way and came up with a clever solution: the aptly named, Greek Chorus. It's worked so well over the centuries that we still use it today, and that's what our latest episode is about, modern greek choruses.
This month we couldn't resist taking a bite out of the recent Netflix phenomenon, DEVILMAN Crybaby. We talk about our personal reactions, the show's surprisingly optimistic thesis, horniness, queer elements, and why we're glad we followed the hype down this incredible rabbit hole of apocalypse and love. On the literary side, we also dive into the show’s relation to Satyr Plays in Greek Tragedy and its use of Greek Chorus through Wamu’s hip-hop crew. SPOILER WARNINGS for all of Devilman Crybaby. Content Warning for discussions of the show's treatment of violence and sexual assault. Intro: Devilman no Uta / AVU-chan by アヴちゃん Outtro: Konyadake by Takkyu and Tavito Link to the interview we referenced: https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/01/08/devilman-crybaby-interview-with-director-masaaki-yuasa/ Next month we will be back on schedule releasing our episode on Goro Miyazaki’s Tales From Earthsea.
When Riker and Troi embark on a quarterly crew evaluation, four fresh-faced ensigns are pitted against each other to see who will get promoted, and who will be voted off the island. But when the Captain takes a special interest in big-dogging a familiar young Bajoran, the competition turns deadly. What does a staff meeting in Ten Forward sound like? Is Worf the best manager on the ship? Is Troi running a long con to get more face time with Lavelle? Its the episode that will serve as a time capsule for post-tour Adam and Ben to understand what pre-tour Adam and Ben were really like.

Well, it’s spring, and the annual Oregon Shakespeare Festival has kicked off its 2017 season with four new shows – out of an eventual total of eleven —the majority of them playing for the next nine months in Ashland, Oregon. The First Four include a frisky stage adaptation of the film ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ and two plays by William Shakespeare – a bloody and visceral staging of ‘Julius Caesar’ and a highly entertaining take on the father-son history ‘Richard IV, Part One.’ Taken together, they make for a strong opening salvo at OSF. For me, the most impressive of the bunch, however is the play ‘Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles,’ by the prolific L.A.-born writer Luis Alfaro, presented with remarkable power and passion by director Juliette Carrillo. Alfaro has adapted a number of classic Greek tragedies over the years, putting a Latino-spin on such influential myths at Elektra and Oedipus Rex — and now Medea. In ‘Mojada’ – the Spanish word for ‘wet,’ as in ‘wetback’ — Medea is an undocumented Mexican seamstress, living in L.A. with her husband Jason, her son Acan, and her talkative, Greek Chorus-like storyteller Tita. They are all survivors of a brutal crossing from Mexico, which, we eventually learn, has cost Medea much more than mere money or blood. Frail and fearful, she now confines herself to her small yard in L.A.s Boyle Heights barrio, avoiding her neighbors, helping to make beautiful dresses she could never afford to buy with the meager wages she earns. Played with ferocious fragility by a superb Sabina Zuniga Varela, Medea carries some very dark secrets—and a desperate fear of losing Jason (an excellent Lakin Valdez), a construction worker whose American dreams of money and influence have placed him in an uneasy alliance with the wealthy widow Armida (Vilma Silva, wonderful). Also an immigrant – though with a very different story of making her way to the States – Armida employs Jason as a contractor in her construction company, and may have her eye on more than just his house-building talents. Medea’s neighbor, the over-effusive Josefina (Nancy Rodriguez), is yet another version of the immigrant story. She’s a hard-working baker who rises early to make the bread she sells from a cart on the streets. Providing some easy comic relief, Josefina’s resourceful acceptance of America’s love-hate relationship with its immigrant population is a stark reminder of what Medea could become, if she could somehow find a sense of power and strength in her life, all of which this strange new land seems to want to deny her. Anyone familiar with the Medea story, of course, will know where all of this headed, and the machete occasionally wielded by Tita (wonderfully played by VIVIS) just serves as a constant reminder of what’s to come. Alfaro does much more with this marvelous, gorgeously constructed drama than just parrot the bloody plot turns of the original Medea myth. In retelling it through the eyes of a Mexican immigrant in America – with one stunning bit of beautifully queasy magical realism – the playwright reveals what happens when any human being is denied a sense of humanity, dignity, and control over their own lives. I should add that the set by Christopher Acebo is a little marvel of architectural beauty and poetry - a circle of chain link and concrete, a garden grown in old tires and tin cans, and a tiny house that appears to almost float above the yard, with vast roots angling beneath it - as if to suggest the sense of ‘uprootedness’ and ‘in-between-ness’ that constantly threatens to define Medea, as it does, tragically, an entire generation of disenfranchised American dreamers.

Alexis Neely was going through an adversarial divorce settlement process. One evening in a hotel room, the weight of the conflict landed on her, and she prayed that a higher power would show her the way to resolution. In that moment, a very clear voice inside said, “Ask him what he needs to be safe, and give it to him.” Initially, Alexis resisted. Would her ex-husband take advantage of her generosity? What if he asked for more than she had to give? Eventually, though, Alexis found the courage and posed the question… Today, Alexis is an estate and business planning attorney, a serial entrepreneur, and a single mom. After divorcing her husband in 2005, she went on to build a million-dollar law practice based on a new pricing model inspired in part by her experience with the settlement process. Alexis teaches her New Law Business Model to lawyers worldwide and supports entrepreneurs and small business owners in making legal, insurance, financial and tax decisions with their ‘eyes wide open.’ She and her ex-husband live together and co-parent their children amicably. On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, Alexis sits down with Katherine to share her adversarial experience in the collaborative law paradigm and explains the need to align the attorney’s economic interests with the best interest of the client. She offers insight into the tendency for divorcing couples to shrink their earning power, discussing how her divorce settlement ultimately incentivized her to build a million-dollar business. Alexis describes situations in which divorcing couples sacrifice their children’s well-being for the sake of money and the benefit of finding a lawyer who is focused on more than just getting the largest possible settlement. Listen in to understand how letting go of conflict opens you up to something greater and learn how reaching a resolution freed Alexis to move forward in faith. Topics Covered How Alexis supports lawyers in using the legal system to reach resolutions Alexis’ experience with the collaborative law paradigm in her own divorce How Alexis resolved the conflict by asking what her ex-husband needed to feel safe The need to align the lawyer’s economic interests with the best interest of the client Why Alexis built a new pricing model for her estate and business planning practice How the divorce settlement incentivized Alexis to build a million-dollar business Alexis’ insight on the tendency for divorcing couple to shrink their earning power Finding a lawyer who is focused on the long-term implications of settlement decisions How divorcing couples often sacrifice their children’s well-being for money Alexis’ take on how resolving conflict frees your creativity How letting go of conflict with generosity opens you up to something greater The danger in listening to the Greek Chorus encouraging you to dig in and fight Connect with Alexis Neely Alexis’ Website: http://alexisneely.com/ Resources Joy Film Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuVCdo-ZaO8 Connect with Katherine Miller The Center for Understanding Conflict: http://understandinginconflict.org/ Miller Law Group: https://westchesterfamilylaw.com/ Katherine on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kemiller1 The New Yorker’s Guide to Collaborative Divorce by Katherine Miller: https://www.amazon.com/New-Yorkers-Guide-Collaborative-Divorce/dp/0692496246 Email: katherine@westchesterfamilylaw.com Call (914) 738-7765
