Actor, writer and director Max Azulay leveraged his obsession with filmmaking to create unique, irreverent films armed with his comedic sensibility. The influence of the legendary Mel Brooks seeped in early on in his Suburban upbringing, which happened to take place 40 minutes from New York City, and helped inspire his young creativity. Finding his community of like-minded comedic cinephiles led to several short films which channelled his interests. He moved to Los Angeles to attend Occidental College, after transferring from Sarah Lawrence, his parents' alma mater, and made a number of short films which led to 5 Doctors, his first feature film. Robert Altman would be proud of the film's tone, which captured fundamental aspects of Max's own life, including his high school, a thematic undertone of anxiety, and members of his family. He co-directed the film with frequent collaborator, Matt Porter. In addition to starring in the film, the pair wrote the screenplay alongside Phil Primason for an ensemble cast, including Bobby Moynihan, Jeremy Shamos, Peter Friedman and Eddie Pepitone among several others. In addition, Max has directed and written several short films with his collaborators, including Xander; Lenny; One Mutual Friend; and Carmen & Moony, the latter starring his partner Kate Adams, with whom he is developing his next feature. In our conversation, we discussed growing up near the big city; the influence of Borscht Belt comedy; the path towards his first feature; kleptomania; WiFi; and the through-line of family which runs through his catalogue.Opening Credits: John Lopker - Embryo Murder I CC BY 4.0 DEED; Caleb Lemon - A Road in the Country I CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED; Jangwa - Jupiter Czar I CC BY 4.0 DEED; Closing Credits: Piki - Clear Blue I CC BY 4.0 DEED.

La película de Netflix 'La madre del Blues' está basada en un personaje histórico que es encarnado por la gran Viola Davis, quien se ha hecho acreedora de una nueva nominación al Óscar de este año por dicha interpretación. Chadwick Boseman no se queda atrás con una maravillosa y dura actuación (la última de su corta carrera) por la cual también tiene una nominación al Óscar como mejor actor. La película está impecablemente presentada, y en este episodio de Catando Netflix, Beto y Raúl nos comentan sus impresiones a detalle.Sinopsis de La Madre del BluesUna tarde en Chicago, en la década de 1920, la temperatura y la tensión se elevan cuando la legendaria Ma Rainey (la ganadora del Óscar Viola Davis), una artista pionera apodada la madre del blues, no solo llega tarde a una sesión de grabación, sino que además termina enfrentándose con uñas y dientes a su representante y al productor, ambos hombres y blancos, por el control de su música. Mientras la banda la espera en una sala de ensayos que le provocaría claustrofobia a cualquiera, el ambicioso cornetista Levee (Chadwick Boseman) —que no le quita los ojos de encima a la compañera de Ma y que está decidido a dejar su propia marca en la industria de la música— incita a sus compañeros a compartir historias, revelando verdades que cambiarán para siempre el curso de sus vidas. «La madre del blues» es una adaptación de «Ma Rainey's Black Bottom», de August Wilson, ganador de dos premios Pulitzer, que celebra el poder transformador del blues y a los artistas que se niegan a permitir que los prejuicios de la sociedad determinen su valor. Con la dirección de George C. Wolfe y la adaptación a la pantalla de Ruben Santiago‑Hudson, la película cuenta con la producción de Denzel Washington y Todd Black, nominados al Óscar por «Barreras». Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Michael Potts, Taylour Paige, Dusan Brown, Jeremy Shamos y Jonny Coyne coprotagonizan esta historia que cuenta con la banda sonora del ganador del Grammy Branford Marsalis.• CULTURIZANDO.COM/PODCAST • Podcast de Series y Películas • Podcast en Español • Qué ver en Netflix •

This week we chat with Kieran Davey about what life truths can be learned from the "historical", fourth-wall-breaking, show within a show - Gutenberg! The Musical!Gutenberg! The Musical!” is, in a word, zany! zany! zany! Two-character biotuner, in the guise of a backer’s audition, is as thin as a pfannkuchen — pancake, to you — but actors Christopher Fitzgerald and Jeremy Shamos pull off the yuks with aplomb. Theatergoers who don’t relish shucked corn mixed with slices of ham may be advised to stay away; for those in the mood, though, “Gutenberg!

Tony Award-winning playwright Steven Levenson joins Why We Theater to talk about his play If I Forget. Set in 2000, the play focuses on a Jewish family as three adult children (Holly, Michael, and Sharon) return to their parents’ house in Maryland for their father Lou’s 75th birthday. Michael is a Jewish Studies professor who recently wrote a book called "Forgetting the Holocaust" about how Judaism has become a religion haunted by death and ghosts - unified by fear and the phrase "never forget" rather than religious ideals or customs. With experts Rabbi Shuli Passow and scholar Judah Isseroff, we discuss American Jewish identity, the rise of anti-Semitism and how to combat it, Israel and Zionism, and trends of tribalism. You can watch If I Forget on BroadwayHD. Michael’s monologue, as performed by Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos, appears with the permission of Roundabout Theatre Company, which premiered If I Forget Off-Broadway in 2017, and Steven Levenson.

CLEAN SLATE by Rajiv Joseph (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Guards at the Taj) is Part Two of a thriller that begins with last week’s episode, Doug Wright’s FAKE NEWS. Special Agents Angie Mallinson and Vince Lazar just want to assure you that nothing horrible has happened at the KLWP News Hour. You may have heard rumors about a band of Kabuki-masked killers. You may have heard whispers about a mysterious vigilante group.  Ignore them — no matter what you think you saw.  Oscar nominee Amy Ryan ("The Office," PoA’s Fifth Planet) and Eden Marryshow (Broadway's Ink, PoA’s Night Vision) join Jeremy Shamos, Eisa Davis, and director Mark Brokaw from last week’s FAKE NEWS. After the show, host Claudia Catania joins the artists to talk about what gives them hope and how they think this story really ends.   CLEAN SLATE by Pulitzer finalist and Obie winner Rajiv Joseph is a world premiere through Playing on Air and Axe-Houghton Foundation’s annual Wordsmith Duo Project, which invites two extraordinary playwrights to explore a shared theme or story through original, partnered plays.

We’re back with the second episode of Let Me Ascertain You: Be The Death of Me. For this Civilians' project we took a prismatic look into the end of life and talked with a cross-section of New Yorkers - ER nurses, priests, funeral directors, vampires, shamans, crime-scene cleaners, and many ordinary people dealing with the extraordinary experience of loss. In this episode we share three of those stories. Actors Gardiner Comfort, Jennifer Morris, and Jeremy Shamos perform. The interviews for this podcast episode were conducted by Matt Dellapina, Meridith Friedman, and Donnetta Lavinia Grays. We encourage you to subscribe if you haven’t already, and if you’re feeling extra generous write us a review. It makes a big difference! Until next time.
