We are celebrating The Golden Girls and Disco! The masterful creative output of the 70s and 80s continues to inform and inspire! Diving deep to illuminate this point are coffee table book couple, Jim Colucci and Frank DeCaro. Jim's book, Golden Girls Forever: An Unauthorized Look Behind The Lanai is packed with hundreds of exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes and never-before-revealed stories, more than two hundred rare photos, Golden Girls sets, fashion, memorable quotes and more.Jim tells us about The Rule of Four, led by Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia that's become a sitcom template. He shares the secret formula to Golden Girls' success. Great writing x phenomenal performances. We address what fueled the Betty/Bea personality clash, and we learn how Maude, Soap and a skit promoting NBC's new 1984 programming sparked the conception of a show about women of a certain age that  changed friendships, social norms, and how we view cheesecake, forever.Frank's book, Disco: Music, Movies, and Mania under the Mirror Ball, is a comprehensive guide to the queer, club music that became a dance sensation, a fashion craze and a mainstream lifestyle. Gay men and black women created the driving rhythms of Disco music and dancing, but white men, like the Bee Gees and Travolta, carried it on a shimmering wave through middle America. Studio 54's denizens were draped in skimpy haute couture while the masses were obsessed with themed merchandise, examples of which have become iconic pieces of modern kitsch. We also hear about Frank and Jim's meet-cute, Jim's first journalism assignment at a mobbed (never pardon our puns) Soprano's casting call, and the conversation doesn't end until it reaches its logical conclusion: the Nancy Walker factor.In recommendations --Weezy: The movie Dreamin' Wild on HuluFritz: The documentary, Ladies And Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music on PeacockPath Points of Interest:Jim ColucciGolden Girls Forever: An Unauthorized Look Behind The LanaiJim Colucci Amazon Author PageJim Colucci on InstagramFrank DeCaroFrank Decaro on WikiFrank Decaro Show Facebook GroupFrank Decaro on InstagramDisco: Music, Movies, and Mania under the Mirror BallFrank Decaro Amazon Author PageDreamin' Wild - HuluLadies And Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music - Peacock

The definitive book on 'The Love Boat' is being written, and author Jim Colucci takes us behind the scenes on the show.

“The Engagement” (September 14, 1985) The pilot to Golden Girls features a fifth roommate who did not make it into the rest of the series: Coco the gay live-in cook, played by Charles Levin. The actor recently died, and in part because it’s timely and in part because Drew feels bad about his jokes that Coco was lost at sea, our first off-season episode is a Coco-centric look at this first-ever Golden Girls.

All things Golden Girls with NYT Bestselling author Jim Colucci

Dennis visits the Valley Village apartment of writer Jim Colucci to talk about the book Jim's been working on for over "Golden Girls Forever." Jim talks about the genesis of the book, convincing Betty White, Bea Arthur and Rue McLanahan to sit for interviews, finding never-before-seen photos and the thought that went into the design of the book--the inside cover is actually the Golden Girls wallpaper! Jim also talks about why the show has endured, the different ways the show has lived on and why it especially appeals to the LGBT audience. Other topics include: the book he wrote about "Will & Grace" in 2004, riding the Orient Express with Neil Patrick Harris, how he fell in love with television as a young boy and the time he embarrassed himself on the subway with Meryl Streep. www.jimcolucci.com
