The Two Guinea Hens love each other, pop culture and their family. They are two, old-fashioned yet HEP, Matock-watching, Charleston Chew eating kind of gals. Does that make you want to listen? Well how about this?Rose makes Gab laugh so hard in this episode that Gab almost chokes to death.Now do you want to listen?Does that make this a snuff podcast? You decide.Thanks for listening!Ciao!Two Guinea Hens: NOT SPONSORED by AMC+ (yet)

"La morte è come nuotare sempre più lontano ogni notte nell'oceano e vedere se riesci a tornare. E quando torni a casa dici: ho f****** di nuovo la morte" La nuotata finale giunse a suo tempo anche per il buon vecchio Joel Schumacher, noto e controverso regista che ha lavorato per trent'anni in un'industria costantemente in evoluzione e facendo ciò che gli riusciva meglio: fare cinema. Questo è il lungo, altalenante ma comunque ricco cinema di Joel Schumacher, uno degli ultimi grandi mesterianti della Hollywood che fu. Cominciamo dall'esordio di Schumacher. Abbandonato da John Landis e incentrato completamente sulla protagonista Lily Tomlin, "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" è un film che incarna alla perfezione lo spirito degli anni '80. Deliri inclusi.

"Moment by moment The choices we make Depend on the chances we take Moment by moment Our lifetime goes on Till one day our somedays are gone"   Café by Café Parfums (1978) + Jane Wagner's Moment by Moment (1978) + Moment by Moment by Darcy O'Brien (1978) + Joel Schumacher's The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981) + Nick Broomfield's Lily Tomlin (1986) with Vera 7/3/24 S6E44 To hear this episode and the complete continuing story of The Perfume Nationalist please subscribe on Patreon. 

I spend more time on the IMDb app than any human being should.  I love pausing whatever I'm watching to look it up on IMDb and study the cast, trivia, filming locations, etc.  I call these my little rabbit holes and this episode of the podcast is a journey through forgotten TV shows and movies that started when I thought I recognized actor Mark Blankfield from a Saved By The Bell episode.  This somehow leads us to a discussion of The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Joe Pesci's forgotten TV show Half Nelson, and some of Glen A. Larson's TV misses like Manimal, Automan, The HighwayMan, Chameleons, and NightMan.  We're also gonna touch on ABC's sketch show Fridays, abysmal made for TV movie sequels, and Tarzan's link to a religious cult.  Somehow this all ends with The Sopranos and I don't even remember how I got there.  Enjoy!

On this episode of Breakdowns For Breakfast, we are all going to experience a bit of PARNORMAL ACTIVITY as Danger and Monster talk about You're All Gonna Die from Grave Robber. Released in 2011 it quickly leads to THE LAST MAN ON EARTH. Are Danger and Monster part of the NIGHTBREED or will one become an INVISIBLE MAN? either way, the INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN will FILL THIS PLACE WITH BLOOD with horror punk.

Mad Professor, Suzanne Ciani, Matthew E. White and Georgia Anne Muldrow discuss how listening to music lets you travel through time, packaging their work into album form, and which part of the music-making process they enjoy the most. Matthew E. White is a singer, songwriter, producer, and arranger from Richmond, Virginia. He blends folk, gospel, AOR, rock, disco, and psychedelic sounds. He's also worked with the likes of Sharon Van Etten, Bedouine, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and Slow Club. Suzanne Ciani is a Grammy-nominated composer, musician, and sound designer. In the 1970s, she invented the world famous ‘pop and pour' sound effect for Coca Cola. In 1980, she was the first woman hired to score a major Hollywood feature when she composed the music for The Incredible Shrinking Woman. She's also a recipient of the Moog Innovation Award for her work with synthesizers, and is a former host of this very show. Georgia Anne Muldrow is an influential part of Los Angeles' hip-hop, jazz, and soul scenes. She's released more than 20 albums, and has appeared on tracks with Erykah Badu, Blood Orange, and Robert Glasper. Mos Def is a fan, saying “she's something else… like Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald”. Mad Professor is a legendary dub reggae producer and engineer. Born in Guyana, he was nicknamed Mad Professor due to his fascination with electronics, and when he moved to London he collected mixing and recording equipment to make his first studio in his living room. Since then he's released hundreds of recordings and worked with artists including Lee “Scratch” Perry, Sly & Robbie, Grace Jones, Massive Attack, and Sade, before setting up the largest Black-owned studio complex in the UK.

First up, Anna is joined by collaborators on the doc: writer-director Lisa Rovner and pioneer Suzanne Ciani. Lisa explains the process of finding archive footage and constructing the ‘herstory’. From Buchla concerts to making music for the movies, Suzanne recalls her experience of being a female composer in the 70s and 80s. She remembers being one of the first women to solo score a Hollywood movie, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, in 1981. Keep listening for Suzanne’s discovery of a female film composer working in the 40s! And stay tuned for advice if you're keen to follow in her footsteps.

Kathryn H. Ross has found a balance. Between past and present. Between self and ancestors. Between self-discovery and continuous growth. In her hybrid collection, Black Was Not a Label, Ross invites readers into a life unfurling. Through the lenses of natural hair, faith, and microaggressions, she lights a path to what it means to seek self while still honoring the past lives, personal and historical, that connect us all. Black Was Not a Label (Pronto, 2019) is as soft as it is sharp. Ross is a writer of humanness, one who finds more interest in what we feel than theme. Yet, even in this general warmth, she manages to hone in on topics that have rippled throughout generations. Readers are not allowed to look away from the sometimes ingrained expectations of assimilation nor are we allowed to put down the weight of all that came before us. What she gives us in this collection are the means to carry it with grace and the hope it will become a little lighter. Kathryn Ross is a Southern California based writer and editor. Her works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry have previously appeared in Sybil Literary Journal, MORIA Literary Magazine, Linden Avenue, and Crack the Spine. She is a columnist at Pasadena Now where she writes about race and culture and a poetry and essay reviewer for Whale Road Review and The Rumpus, respectively. She completed her MA in English and Creative Writing at Azusa Pacific University and loves cats, baths, and rose slushies. Athena Dixon is a NE Ohio native, poet, essayist, and editor. Her essay collection, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, is forthcoming from Split/Lip Press (2020). Athena is also the author of No God in This Room, a poetry chapbook (Argus House Press). Her poetry is included in The BreakBeat Poets Vol. 2: Black Girl Magic (Haymarket Books). Learn more at www.athenadixon.com Learn more about your ad choices.

We look at the TIMELY and IMPORTANT subject of HUMAN MINIATURISATION in the movies, with special emphasis on THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, FANTASTIC VOYAGE and INNERSPACE, but touching lightly on DOWNSIZING, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN, BODY TROOPERS and FIRST PAVILION and with audio references to DOCTOR CYCLOPS, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE, ANTMAN,  etc... Can human beings be greatly reduced in size (and injected into Martin Short) or are we just asking for the moon? What of the tremendous costs involved? How small is too small? And do the molecules in our fingernails contain their own tiny little universes?
