Producer Fred Berger guides us through the making of 2016's wildly popular musical LA LA LAND starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The film was the brainchild and passion project of director Damien Chazelle, but as a young and new filmmaker, no studio was willing to take a chance on his vision for a big movie musical that he wanted to be both nostalgic and incredibly modern. In order to prove himself, he made 2014's Oscar-winning WHIPLASH, and soon it was off to the races with producers Fred Berger and Jordan Horowitz, whose faith in him never wavered.
In which the Mister joins me in reviewing FAST COLOR (2018), which is currently streaming on Hulu. Directed by Julia Hart, with writing credits to Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz, the film follows Ruth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a woman with superhuman abilities who's been on the run for years, chased by people trying to use her and her powers to repair the planet. With nowhere to go, she goes back home to her mother (Lorraine Toussaint) who has been raising Ruth's daughter, Lila (Saniyya Sidney). While the ideas in the story are interesting, the performances which were all solid do not save this film. The film has a run time of 1 h 40 m and is rated PG-13. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jokagoge/support

A woman's husband goes missing, and criminals are after her. She takes her baby and goes on the run, navigating the 1970's underworld. Matt & Ashley review this taut thriller.
Aspiring writers and directors should take a page out of Julia Hart’s book: don’t wait to tell your story. And if that story experiments with or outright subverts filmmaking genres by centering those typically underrepresented on screen, all the better. “What I find exciting and interesting as a filmmaker is finding new ways to tell old stories about different people,” she says, taking us inside her writing, casting, and directing processes. A New Yorker who for years taught high school and wrote screenplays on the side, Julia made the leap to full-time artist after her 2014 feature “The Keeping Room” ended up on Hollywood’s Black List. With her husband, writing partner, and film producer Jordan Horowitz, Julia has brought to the big screen her directorial debut “Miss Stevens,” superhero riff “Fast Color,” this year’s Disney+ teen musical drama “Star Girl,” and Amazon Studios’ hit “I’m Your Woman,” a 1970s-set crime noir starring Rachel Brosnahan.

It's all about the women on film this week on #BTLRadioShow thanks to writer/director BRIAN CAVALLARO and his latest film 32 WEEKS, and our prerecorded exclusive interview with writer/director JULIA HART talking I'M YOUR WOMAN. We open the show with our prerecorded exclusive interview with writer/director JULIA HART talking about her latest film, I'M YOUR WOMAN. (Hart is also the force behind Disney's Stargirl which you can watch on Disney+.) We've all seen mafia crime thrillers before and with rare exceptions, all are told from the male perspective with the wives, girlfriends, and children relegated to background window dressing. Stepping outside of the box, together with co-writer Jordan Horowitz, Hart gives us the story of Jean with Rachel Brosnahan delivering one of the best performances of her career in the role, along with Marsha Stephanie Blake, Arinze Kene, Frankie Faison, and Bill Heck. A mob wife with no skills and no street smarts, Jean is oblivious to what her husband Eddie does for a living. She lives in an upscale suburban neighborhood, is perfectly coiffed, has impeccably manicured nails, and wears the trendiest fashion the 1970's has to offer, but she can't cook, doesn't clean, and is in fact so inept she doesn't even know how to cut tags out of clothing. Just imagine what happens when Eddie arrives home "from work" one day holding out a baby like it's the latest edition headline of the National Enquirer and saying "He's yours." But then take it a step further and have Cal, one of Eddie's enforcers, show up at the house in the dead of night to whisk Jean and the baby to safety only to then have to leave her on her own. And this is just the beginning of Jean's story. Take a listen as Julia and I go deep into her creating a perfect apportioned 1970's world with all the colors of the period both in production design and costume, color palette, choreographing and shooting action sequences, the themes tackled within the film, casting and chemistry, Jean's journey and arc of the characters, and, of course, working with a baby. Then we welcome writer/director BRIAN CAVALLARO back to the show to talk about his new film, 32 WEEKS. Brian last joined us a couple of years ago for Against the Night, a chilling film shot in a 100+-year-old abandoned prison in suburban Philadelphia. With the majority of that film in darkness with much lighting relegated to single headlamps only, Brian now not only shifts coasts with 32 WEEKS but brings us out of the terror of the dark and into the light of sunny Santa Monica, California, while exploring the empty darkness of one woman's mind following a car accident that left her with short term memory amnesia and many unanswered questions. The biggest unanswered questions. A long time award-winning producer, as well as director of multiple episodes in many television series, as well as reality and awards show, it's exciting to see Brian behind the camera with narrative features. Even more exciting is to see his directorial range and growth just between 32 WEEKS and Against the Night. Listen as Brian dives into the genesis of the story, the twists and turns and ambiguity created not only through the script but by nuanced performances and keen editing, finding the pacing and timing of reveals with editing most particularly with flashbacks of memory, casting, cinematography, visual metaphor, the challenges of a multiplicity of locations especially on a lo budget/no budget/micro-budget film, and so much more. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

This week's guest brings welcome dissent to one of the best, least controversial, yet most controversial films of the 2010s. Kathryn Borel and Graydon talk about La La Land.
Jordan Horowitz had worked his entire career in advertising/media sales for places like Mtv, Funny or Die, Daily Mail, Elite Daily, etc. when he decided to do his first flip. Jordan & a partner bought a hurricane-destroyed home in Weehawken, tore it down, and put up a two-family residence. They did such nice work, they both moved into the joint with their families! Eventually they completed the flip and got into wholesaling properties, founding BuddiesBuyingHouses.com and the Maison Tally Group. Jordan picked up his realtor license last year and was finally on purpose fired from his sales gig. Jordan now spends his time as a full-time in real estate as agent with the Michelle Pais Group of Signature Realty and wholesaling properties.

It's a painless and fun-filled episode of BEHIND THE LENS this week thanks to the legendary CAROLE COOK and our special guests, writer/director JORDAN HOROWITZ, and actor JOEY KLEIN. Originally scheduled to call in live for one of her annual visits to BTL, CAROLE COOK was forced to forego a live call-in in favor of some urgently needed back surgery. But, so determined not to miss out on the show and entertaining our listeners and her legion of fans, she insisted on doing a prerecorded interview to talk about her latest charitable endeavor, CABARET IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN LA. Take a listen as Carole talks about the upcoming cabaret shows to benefit The Actors Fund, her performance numbers, performing with her husband TOM TROUPE, and as always, regales us with a host of fun stories about her years on Broadway and in film, this time including one about Judi Dench voicing a cow. Seriously. Then we welcome two special guests – writer/director JORDAN HOROWITZ and actor JOEY KLEIN – who talk about their new film, PAINLESS. Listen as Jordan talks about the medical and scientific research behind the film, production design, cinematography and more, while Joey goes in-depth about preparing for the role of a man who suffers with a genetic affliction that prevents him from feeling pain. An interesting subject for a narrative film. An interesting discussion on filmmaking. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin are back discussing the Mighty Ducks novelizations. The D2 version is so good it had to be split into two different podcasts. In part one they discover a feud over Connie between Guy Germaine and Luis Mendoza. Elsewhere Portman loses his Nirvana tape. Show Notes Go to the shop. Use SHIP18 for free shipping. We talked about the novelization of D1 in Episode 151. Did Bombay pass out from his knee injury? Hans' has removed Jan's name from the sport shop: Winnipeg has a population of 705,000 people according to Wikipedia, the smallest of any city with an NHL team. A sampling of other movies Jordan Horowitz has adapted into novels: Free Willy, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, Free Willy 2, Heavyweights Duck call to Jesse and Brendan for correctly identifying the book series Kevin was talking about last episode. It was the Screech Owls series by Roy MacGregor. If you want to read the novelizations, go to queertet.net. Meeting up at the old Band Box. We talked about Ken Wu's ancestry in Episode 17 and Episode 143. I couldn't find any high school mascot with the mascot of the Tangerines. If you find one, send it our way. Thanks to @colinm82 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod what was going in Minnesota in the 90s? Truly a breeding ground for unconventional coaching, tactics, and leadership. Gordon Bombay with the Ducks, Billy Haywood with the Twins. Did their success inspire a Jesse Ventura for Governor victory? #quackquestion — Colin (@colinm82) February 27, 2018 Little Big League came out in 1994. It has a scorching 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Jesse Ventura made became Governor in 1999. The Wizard came out in 1989. It has an even hotter 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Mike, Tommy and Kevin dive deep into the rarely talked about novelization of the Mighty Ducks. They learn a number of new background facts, spot some contradictions and question why author Jordan Horowitz hated Karp as much as they do. Show Notes If you haven't filled out the listener survey yet, you can fill it out here. As for the affiliate links, we've been approved by iTunes. Will work on getting Amazon. How it works: we provide our link and a small portion of the cost of what you buy is redirected back to us. It doesn't cost you any more money. So basically if you go buy anything through iTunes -- music, book, a movie, or even download a podcast -- add our affiliate number: "1010lJXG" to the end of the link and we should get money. For example: If you buy or rent The Mighty Ducks through this link we get some money kicked back to us. You can find the novelizations here. The Jordan Horowitz that wrote the Mighty Ducks novels is probably not same person who produced La La Land. Horowitz is 37 years old. He would've been 12 years old at the time the first novel came out. Here is a link to the official TOSS rule book. Bombay playing on the same pond he meets District 5 at in the first practice: The classic egg drill: According to this geocities-looking website, the cost of a dozen eggs in 1992 was $0.93. If the Ducks practiced a full hour and didn't get any better, disposing an estimated 10 eggs per minute, they ran through five dozen eggs. That's $4.65. Adjusting for inflation, Gordon Bombay spent at least $8.65 in today's dollars on that one drill. We talked to Casey Garven, who played Larson, in Episode 49. Mike couldn't find the series Kevin was talking about? Any Quackolytes have any ideas? The book Mike was thinking of is called Ice Magic by Matt Christopher. Thanks to Brendan for the #QuackQuestion: Ok when Bombay blows out his knee while playing for the Waves, they carefully take his helmet off and put a towel under his head. What's that about? They want to make him comfortable as he grimaces for an indefinite amount of time? Is he a soldier rapidly losing blood on the battlefield? Why not just skate him off the ice with a teammate supporting him on each side? I'm guessing the Waves players are sort of mourning the end of this uplifting comeback story? Bombay with the towel around his head: To be fair, a trainer does rush to Bombay's knee as well.
So ... those Oscars sure were something! We recap the 2017 Oscars, including the crazy-pants, WHAT? moment in which "La La Land" was briefly and erroneously awarded the Best Picture Oscar before it was rightly given to "Moonlight." For all the Monday morning quarterbacking, though, we find that the moment isn't just a WTF one ... it was actually downright inspiration. Jordan Horowitz for President. The Oscars did not stop us from our regular appointed rounds, though, and we dug into the big new release of the weekend, "Get Out," the Jordan Peele horror-comedy. Then, in our Reboot section, we got very dark: 1995's "Se7en" and 1978's "The Deer Hunter." Neither will make you feel positive about humanity. But hopefully this podcast will! Timestamps: 0:15 The Oscar Moment That Will Never Be Forgotten 26:28 "Get Out" 47:10 "Se7en" 1:09:35 "The Deer Hunter" We hope you enjoy.
