Podcast appearances and mentions of Julie Andrews

879 · Return to Progress City: Imagining Walt Disney's City of TomorrowWhat if the most interesting thing about Walt Disney's Progress City isn't that it was never built, but that it was never really finished?Recorded live at the WDW Radio booth at D23, former Walt Disney Imagineering President Bob Weis and artist, architect, and former Imagineer Eric Robison join me to explore Eric's extraordinary new book, Return to Progress City.What begins with Walt's original vision for EPCOT becomes something much bigger: a conversation about imagination, architecture, storytelling, technology, creativity, and what happens when you give yourself permission to start with a blank page.Eric shares how a pandemic project to paint another 100 Mickeys ended at number 38 when his imagination pulled him back to the Progress City model that had fascinated him since childhood. Bob also reveals something remarkable from Marty Sklar's archives: Marty's original handwritten notes from conversations with Walt about EPCOT and the City of Tomorrow.We explore the wonderfully strange Progress City story Bob and Eric dreamed up over pastrami and martinis, how Imagineers move from rough “chicken scratch” to places filled with story and emotion, why Eric believes something human can disappear when we jump too quickly to the computer, the role of AI in creativity, and why even the most beautiful visual idea still needs a writer and a story.And then Bob hands Eric a blank card and asks him to draw the future, right there at the table.I also share something very personal from D23: the release of my new book, The Disney Interviews: Disney Legends Edition. This new 456-page collection preserves 18 in-depth conversations with Disney Legends including Julie Andrews, Marty Sklar, Richard M. Sherman, Tony Baxter, Alan Menken, Joe Rohde, Bob Gurr, Alice Davis, Don Hahn, Jodi Benson, Paige O'Hara, Dave Smith, and more, along with completely new introductions, stories, context, and artwork, along with completely new introductions, stories, context, and artwork. It is available now in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.If Walt handed you that blank page today, what would you add to Progress City?

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker remember Dolly Parton through the music, movies, philanthropy, humor, and humanity that made her one of the most beloved entertainers in American culture. The conversation touches on her early career with Porter Wagoner, the stories behind "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," the Imagination Library, Dollywood, children's literacy, and the rare kind of public affection Dolly earned across generations. JJ and Tucker also revisit Dolly Parton's work in film, including 9 to 5, Straight Talk, Rhinestone, Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and The Beverly Hillbillies. Along the way, they celebrate Jim Varney, Cloris Leachman, Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, Julie Andrews, Mr. Rogers, and the question of what makes someone not just famous, but genuinely loved. 00:00 Intro: Remembering Dolly Parton 01:04 Dolly Parton's Legacy Hits Hard 01:33 Two Doors Down and Early Dolly Memories 01:48 Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, and Jolene 03:20 I Will Always Love You and Leaving Porter Wagoner 04:00 Porter Wagoner Sues Dolly Parton 04:45 Dolly Buys Porter Wagoner's Music Catalog 05:28 Rebuilding Burned Bridges 05:58 Dolly Parton's Imagination Library 07:19 How the Imagination Library Works 08:16 Fargo Rotary and Local Imagination Library Support 09:03 Coat of Many Colors and Dolly's Message 09:21 9 to 5 and Dolly's Movie Career 09:55 Straight Talk, Radio Advice, and Southern Wisdom 10:51 Rhinestone, Sylvester Stallone, and Dolly's Kindness 11:49 Steel Magnolias and a Powerhouse Cast 12:14 Dolly Parton, COVID Vaccines, and Public Trust 12:29 Dolly in The Beverly Hillbillies Movie 13:01 Buying The Beverly Hillbillies Soundtrack 13:24 Why The Beverly Hillbillies Is a Perfect Adaptation 13:48 Cloris Leachman as Granny 14:10 Diedrich Bader, Dabney Coleman, and Lily Tomlin 15:03 Jim Varney as Jed Clampett 16:13 Could The Beverly Hillbillies Work Today? 17:25 Leah Thompson and Superhero Fan Casting 17:45 Tucker's Childhood Dolly Parton Crush 18:29 Was Dolly the Last Universally Loved Icon? 19:37 Caregiving, Health, and Dolly's Final Years 20:35 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 22:24 Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds 22:48 Dom DeLuise, the Watchdog Report, and the Governor 23:35 Why the Musical Still Works 24:38 Dolly Was Always Ahead of Her Time 25:35 Dolly Parton Chose Not to Be a Billionaire 26:14 Dollywood and Dolly's Childhood Home 26:33 Is There Anyone Else Like Dolly? 27:18 Cher, Julie Andrews, and Cultural Warmth 29:06 The Princess Diaries and Julie Andrews' Later Career 30:07 Dolly Parton at Christmas 30:24 Dolly Parton's Songwriting and Acrylic Nails 31:06 Dolly's Magical Ability to Connect 31:36 Outro 32:14 Final Tag: Holidays at Dolly's House

What do Kate Ritchie and Julie Andrews have in common? It turns out the answer involves nuns, a swimming pool and a very unexpected connection. We unpack the bizarre story of nuns in Italy who have reportedly had their pool taken away, why the decision has caused a stir and how it somehow links back to one of Hollywood's most iconic actresses and our very own Kate Ritchie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jordyn Woods just married Karl-Anthony Towns in a wedding so A-list it doubled as a reunion. Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Jada Pinkett Smith all under one roof, years after a scandal that once threatened to end them all. We're unpacking how messy history became a full-circle fairytale.Then Disney's D23 Expo dropped its biggest bombshell yet: the new X-Men cast. Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, a Rogue recast, a villain reveal — and a cast that had never even met before being announced. One of us has already declared "not my X-Men," and we're getting into why.Finally, Nicole Kidman's British Vogue cover has everyone talking, not for what she revealed, but for what she barely did.

We're celebrating this iconic anniversary by discussing Anne Hathaway's film debut, the power and charm of Julie Andrews, and all of our favorite little quotes and moments throughout this beloved classic.

Somebody in Quincy, Illinois just became insanely rich, somebody else allegedly treated a Morgan Wallen concert like his own personal bathroom, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's Rizzuto Show.The crew kicks things off with the massive Powerball jackpot and the one winning ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois. Naturally, instead of simply congratulating this newly minted billionaire and moving along like mature adults, we immediately start spending their money for them. Lump sum or annuity? Buy an island or stay in the same house? Disappear forever or become the richest tractor enthusiast in the Midwest? This funny podcast tackles all the responsible financial questions that absolutely nobody should trust us to answer.Moon also wonders whether the mystery winner could somehow be his cousin, which leads to dreams of farmland, giant gardens, tractors, demolition derby cars and the kind of billionaire lifestyle that says, “Yes, I have generational wealth, but I still know how to fix this carburetor.”Then things take a hard turn. And by “hard turn,” we mean the kind of conversational detour only The Rizzuto Show could make.We get an update on Michael Phillips, the North Carolina man who previously went viral for openly discussing his micropenis condition and is now preparing for an enhancement procedure. Rizz actually donated to the crowdfunding campaign, because apparently this show occasionally uses its powers for good between making every possible inappropriate joke about the situation.From there, welcome to The Urine Chronicles.The man accused of urinating on seated concertgoers during a Morgan Wallen show has finally been arrested, reopening one of the great philosophical debates of our time: what exactly are you legally, morally and spiritually allowed to do when a stranger starts peeing on you? Rizz has some thoughts. Rafe has some extremely specific defensive strategies. Lern consults the internet. Moon attempts to introduce reason into the discussion, which—as longtime listeners know—is usually where everything goes wrong.There's also a trip through history as the crew marks the anniversary of the Berlin Wall going up, complete with escape stories, Moon's memories of visiting Berlin and the historically impeccable reminder that David Hasselhoff personally brought the whole thing down. Please do not cite this funny podcast in your dissertation.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Diddy's prison update and a debate over whether celebrities can ever truly become untouchable after major scandals. The crew gets into Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” passing one billion Spotify streams, new Phoebe Bridgers music, upcoming rock documentaries, Jason Sudeikis joining Mumford & Sons for the Ted Lasso theme, Seinfeld remaining comfort-food television, Rory Scovel's comedy special, Star Wars fatigue, Ewan McGregor's willingness to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Julie Andrews stepping away from Princess Diaries 3.Plus, celebrity fan encounters get deeply weird. Dolly Parton once had a baby left on her doorstep. The Jonas Brothers received a preserved baby shark. Rupert Grint apparently accepted an invitation to party with drag queens until 4 a.m. And James McAvoy got presented with perhaps the most direct hall-pass proposal imaginable.Throw in birthdays, St. Louis references, inappropriate detours and enough pop culture commentary to make your search history look deeply concerning, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the billion-dollar dreams. Stay because we're apparently litigating concert pee.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gravestone Chic Today on Bit Public Radio, host Lana Schur explores the ever-changing nature of cool. Is "cool" determined by fashion? By celebrities? By invisible gravestones? By barbarian Goths invading Rome? Nobody seems entirely sure. Correspondent Jimbo Brandywine travels to a Renaissance Faire to investigate the unexpected return of the Goths, only to uncover turkey economics, a family raised by actual turkeys, and one very confused human identity crisis. Next, Flannery Wilson reports from Beverly Hills, where luxury shoppers have embraced the newest status symbol: gravestones that don't actually exist. The investigation somehow leads to ghost tourism, HOA disputes, Walt Disney, and a long-overdue confrontation with Mary Poppins. Finally, former failed "CNN" investigative journalist Paisley Bowie uncovers an underground community living inside pottery kilns, where magical ashtray-producing fairies, eternal curses, and suspiciously enthusiastic smokers reveal the surprising intersection of ceramics and public broadcasting. Throughout it all, Lana desperately attempts to keep an increasingly chaotic pledge drive on the rails—offering listeners everything from Butterball turkeys and job-shadowing opportunities to invisible burial plots and disgraced journalism awards. Somewhere in there... someone might actually donate. Apologies Butterball, Renaissance Faires, Goths (both Visigothic and Hot Topic), Vogue magazine, Patrick Swayze, pottery instructors, ceramics departments, ashtrays, smokers, non-smokers, Walt Disney, Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews, Disney Parks, cryogenic researchers, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Louis Vuitton, homeowners associations, psychics, ghosts, goblins, fairies, turkey farmers, Renaissance turkey vendors, Robert Smith, The Cure, BBC journalists, NPR pledge drives, public radio tote bags, kiln manufacturers, pizza ovens, anyone currently preserving their brain for the future... and anyone attempting to start a fashionable invisible cemetery.

It has been ten whole months since Sulu parodied this song (and fifteen years since we did), so it was time. What we learned about "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious": o The writers of a 1949 song called "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus" sued Disney...and LOST. The court found that variants of the word had been around for decades. So, as it turns out, neither they nor the Sherman Brothers (who wrote the Mary Poppins song and a ton of other classic Disney tunes) originated the term. o The Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke recording was released as a single that made it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #66 the week ending May 15, 1965.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Members, Christine and Sarah Duncan, discuss The Princess Diaries for its 25th anniversary: directed by Garry Marshall, written by Gina Wendkos, cinematography by Karl Walter Lindenlaub, music by John Debney, editing by Bruce Green, starring Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway, Hector Elizondo, and Mandy Moore.Plot Summary: The Princess Diaries follows Mia Thermopolis, an awkward San Francisco teenager who discovers she is heir to the throne of the fictional kingdom of Genovia. Her formal grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi, arrives to mold Mia into a proper princess, testing the girl's confidence and sense of identity. Balancing royal expectations with ordinary teenage struggles—friendship, first crushes, and self-doubt—Mia gradually learns that true leadership stems from authenticity rather than appearance.Guests:Christine DuncanWife of Dana, Mother of Tom20x guestSarah DuncanSister of Tom, Daughter of Dana@thenomadicarchaeologist on IG12x guestChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for The Princess Diaries03:02 Welcome Back, Christine and Sarah Duncan!04:49 Our Relationship(s) with The Princess Diaries08:04 Coming of Age Movies for Girls13:14 How Does The Princess Diaries Compare to Pretty Woman?24:36 Plot Summary for The Princess Diaries26:05 Did You Know?28:39 First Break29:23 What's Happening with Christine and Sarah?35:28 Best Performance(s)50:22 Best Scene(s)01:00:00 Second Break01:00:35 In Memoriam01:01:39 Best Line(s)01:04:58 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:15:45 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:22:39 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:34:24 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:37:16 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:38:57 Remaining Questions for The Princess Diaries01:46:35 Thank You to Chris and Sarah / Final Thoughts01:54:36 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/the-princess-diaries-2001-ft-christine-and-sarah-duncanFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:movie review, princess, fantasy, wish fulfillment, film analysis, The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, coming-of-age film, 25th anniversary, movie discussion, film critique, Disney movies, teen movies, Disney princess movie, 2000s movies, movie, film, podcast, review, iconic scenes, analysis, discussionRonny Duncan Studios

With Taylor & Travis wedding fever consuming our feeds, we're unpacking the wedding movies that shaped us—and the ones that absolutely didn't need a ceremonial third act.We kick things off with the Bollywood adaptation that completely reimagined a literary classic, featuring Aishwarya Rai in an iconic performance that we controversially claim eclipsed the source material. Two worlds colliding? It's basically the Taylor and Travis of cinema.We also dive into the royal rom-com that tried to have it all: a feminist twist where the lead refuses marriage at the altar, flips an entire parliament, and declares herself queen solo.... except the movie immediately betrays its own message by forcing a last-minute wedding nobody asked for. We're also chatting about why some wedding movies just didn't need the dress, the ceremony, or the forced happily-ever-after. Spoiler: we have thoughts about which films could've skipped the spectacle entirely and would been infinitely better for it.Take The Spill's monthly pop culture quiz here and test your knowledge!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the 100th and final episode of STARGIRL podcast ~*First thing's first: STARGIRL Merch is here!! Pre-order here; all orders ship late Summer 2026.* In this episode, I talk about my decision to end STARGIRL and what's next for me. I also share dozens of “Stargirl Synchronicities” I've witnessed this spring, all of which felt like comforting acknowledgement that a chapter was closing. Then we look back on how culture has progressed (all for the better!) since I started the show in 2022: Today, embodiment, sensuality, health and fitness, spirituality, and patriotism are all way, way up! Plus, a very special audio postcard from Sarah Beth Spraggins (of Secret Ballot) on the state of American patriotism, and what I would do if I got the keys to the kingdom….

DESPICABLE ME IS WAY SWEETER THAN EXPECTED?! Despicable Me Movie Reaction — First Time Watching! Support us on Patreon: Despicable Me Reaction (Full Length Watch Along):   / thereelrejects   Check out the DC Studios: Showcase Podcast HERE https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/... John & Roxy react to Despicable Me for the first time as our classic animated movie reaction journey continues with the Illumination movie that launched Gru, the Minions, and one of the biggest animated franchises ever! With the new Minions & Monsters movie arriving later this year, it felt like the perfect time to finally dive into the film that started it all. This Despicable Me movie reaction follows Gru's plan to steal the moon, his rivalry with Vector, Dr. Nefario's wild inventions, the Bank of Evil, cookie robots, shrink rays, and the chaotic first appearance of the Minions. In this Illumination Despicable Me reaction and Despicable Me full movie review, John & Roxy break down Steve Carell's hilarious performance as Gru, Jason Segel as Vector, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Julie Andrews, Russell Brand, and the surprisingly emotional story of Margo, Edith, and Agnes changing Gru's heart. From “It's so fluffy!” to the unicorn book, Super Silly Fun Land, the moon heist, and the Despicable Me ending breakdown where Gru finally becomes a real dad, this movie ended up being way more charming, funny, and heartfelt than expected. It also serves as a great reminder of why audiences fell in love with Gru and the Minions before all the sequels, spin-offs, and upcoming adventures expanded the franchise.

Eine Frau schwebt mit einem schwarzen Regenschirm über die Dächer Londons. Der Wind trägt sie durch den grauen Himmel, während unten zwei Kinder staunend nach oben blicken. Wenige Augenblicke später landet sie vor dem Haus der Familie Banks in der Cherry Tree Lane. Mit ihrer Ankunft beginnt eines der größten Filmmärchen des 20. Jahrhunderts: Mary Poppins. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best widmen sich Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling einer Frau, die weit mehr war als nur das berühmteste Kindermädchen der Filmgeschichte. Schauspielerin Julie Andrews, die im vergangenen Jahr ihren 90. Geburtstag feierte, zählt bis heute zu den größten britischen Künstlerinnen aller Zeiten. Von ihren Anfängen als Wunderkind im Londoner West End über den Triumph von My Fair Lady bis zu ihren Welterfolgen in Mary Poppins und The Sound of Music zeichnet diese Episode den außergewöhnlichen Weg einer Britin nach, die Generationen von Menschen begeistert hat. Dabei hätte vieles ganz anders kommen können. Obwohl Julie Andrews am Broadway als Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady gefeiert wurde, erhielt sie die Hauptrolle in der Verfilmung nicht. Stattdessen machte Walt Disney sie mit Mary Poppins über Nacht zum Weltstar. Es folgten ein Oscar, internationale Berühmtheit und mit The Sound of Music einer der erfolgreichsten Filme der Kinogeschichte. Doch auch schwere Rückschläge, darunter der Verlust ihrer legendären Singstimme, konnten ihren Lebensmut und ihre Ausstrahlung nicht brechen. Wie wurde aus einem englischen Mädchen aus Walton-on-Thames eine der größten Filmikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts? Warum prägen Mary Poppins und The Sound of Music bis heute das Bild Großbritanniens in aller Welt? Und weshalb berührt Julie Andrews auch Jahrzehnte nach ihren größten Erfolgen noch immer Millionen Menschen? WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen? Zu welchen Themen wünschst Du Dir mehr Folgen? Warst Du schon mal in Great Britain und magst ein paar Fotos mit Claus und Alexander teilen?

Photo by Mark A. Vieir Hitchcock & Herrmann: The Friendship & Film Scores That Changed Cinema was written by award-winning author Steven C. Smith. He is a four-time Emmy-nominated documentary producer of over 200 documentaries about film and music. Smith has collaborated with filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Stephen Sondheim, John Williams, Julie Andrews, and Sidney Poitier. His biographies of composers Bernard Herrmann and Max Steiner each received the ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award, and he has lectured at the Library of Congress, American Film Institute, Academy of Motion Pictures Museum, and other organizations. He has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, and the Los Angeles Times. Fellow biographer and BIO member Sonja Williams interviewed Steven C. Smith.

My guest this week is author Deborah Phillips whose new book is titled: AND THIS IS MY FRIEND SANDY — SANDY WILSON'S THE BOY FRIEND, LONDON THEATRE AND GAY CULTURE. Sandy Wilson's The Boyfriend — for which he wrote the book, music, & lyrics — is one of the most successful British musicals of all time. It emerged in 1952 out of London's secretive but vibrant gay theatrical subculture, at a time when you could be sent to prison for being homosexual.  By the following year both The Boyfriend and Sandy Wilson were the toast of London's West End, and created nearly as much excitement as Queen Elizabeth's coronation that same year. That original West End production ran for five years. Meanwhile, a hit American version of The Boyfriend opened on Broadway in 1954 and made a star out of Julie Andrews. The show was revived on Broadway in 1970 and made a star of Sandy Duncan, and two years later an ill-conceived film version was released, starring Twiggy and Tommy Tune and directed by Ken Russell. Despite all of this, prior to this book, very little has been written about Sandy Wilson. Deborah Phillips, who is Professor of Literature and Cultural History at the University of Brighton, is the first researcher to delve into Wilson's extensive archives out of which she has created an captivating portrait of Wilson as a both a key figure in post-war British theatre and the era's gay culture. This book and interview introduced me to a number of fascinating subjects I had never encountered before including the hilarious BBC radio series, Round The Horne, that inspired the book's title; the history of London's Players Theatre; and the secret gay language, Polari. Exploring all that sent me into several amazing internet rabbit holes and I will be posting articles and video clips that I found there in the Broadway Nation FaceBook Group.

My guest today, Christine Pedi is known as the “Lady of 1000 Voices." She discovered her talent for multiple personalities through her long association with the legendary Off-Broadway revue, Forbidden Broadway, performing in companies all over the world, including New York, London, Japan, Singapore, and more. Among the dozens of personalities Christine is known to impersonate are: Liza Minelli, Rosie Perez, Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Julie Andrews, Katherine Hepburn and many, many others.She's received a Drama Desk nomination, as well as an L.A. Ovation & NAACP Award for her work.On Broadway, Christine debuted in Little Me with Martin Short and Faith Prince, directed by a favorite StoryBeat guest, Rob Marshall. Other Broadway appearances include several peculiar offstage callers in Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio, starring Liev Schreiber, and a turn as Mama Morton in the long-running hit, Chicago.She brought her collection of divas to Off-Broadway's Newsical the Musical, and starred in Spamilton: An American Parody, which she also co-produced.And many of you will know Christine from her long-running daily SiriusXM Radio show Broadway Breakfast on the On Broadway channel playing music of the stage & screen and interviewing Show Biz legends Mon-Fri, 9am-3pm. On Saturdays she and Seth Rudetsky co-host Dueling Divas.  And fans of Howard Stern can hear her provide the occasional celebrity voice on his SiriusXM morning show.Other Off-Broadway performances include: the title role in Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating Mating and Marriage, A Broadway Diva Christmas, Jerry's Girls, and My Favorite Year.Christine's performed her cabaret show, Great Dames, at many major New York venues, winning both the New York Bistro & Nitelife Awards. Her holiday show, There's No Bizness Like Snow Bizness, has been an annual New York staple since 2008. She's even performed for President & Mrs. Clinton, playing a singing Hillary!On TV, you may recognize Christine on The Sopranos as Mrs. Bobby Baccala (4 scenes, 5 lines...dead). But she recently escaped the clutches of Dr. Death on NBC.Be sure to check out Christine's popular, hilarious videos on YouTube, especially her “Shit Liza Says” videos. It's brilliant, laugh-out-loud stuff.Last but not least, and closest to my heart, Christine can be found singing on the well-regarded 1994 double-CD Complete Work recording of Jekyll & Hyde, the Musical, featuring Anthony Warlow, Linda Eder and Carolee Carmello.

First, we are going to talk about Juwanna Mann, written by Bradley Allenstein and directed by Jesse Vaughan. Next, we will talk about The Hot Chick, written by Tom Brady and Rob Schneider and directed by Tom Brady. One film has our male protagonist simply trying to pretend to be a woman while the other has the male actor's body inhabited by the spirit of a teenage girl.Along the way, we discuss the two leading men (podcast favorite Michael A. Nunez and unfavorite Rob Schneider), deflategate, the Steph Curry family tree, our love of Rachel McAdams, Mean Girls, Julie Andrews, Tilda Swinton, Freaky Friday, the WNBA, and an Adam Sandler imitation from Tripp! Plus, a magical Letterboxd Watchlist moment AND Tripp has too much fun saying Puff Smokey Smoke over and over again.Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.

Send us Fan MailHe turned down a sure thing with Sam Peckinpah and said yes to a script with a strange title: Flashdance. That single choice reshaped Michael Nouri's acting career, and the way he tells it makes you feel how fragile “overnight success” really is.We talk with Michael about the long road behind the iconic roles: discovering theater in school, chasing work in New York, handling early on-camera fear, and learning how craft evolves when Hollywood keeps changing the rules. He shares what it was like to realize Flashdance had become a phenomenon, right down to the moment audiences stood up cheering and then poured out to buy the soundtrack. If you love filmmaking, film history, and the behind-the-scenes reality of casting, negotiation, and timing, this conversation delivers.Then we go deeper into the heart side of show business. Michael opens up about depression, the value of therapy and support systems, and how grief forces a recalibration after losing loved ones. At 80, he reflects on time speeding up, the fear of feeling irrelevant, and why a sense of purpose is non-negotiable. We also get one of my favorite Hollywood stories: how an eggplant parmesan sandwich led to Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews and a life-changing path to Victor Victoria on Broadway, plus what he's doing now in television and the memoir and charity book projects that keep his creative engine running.If this moved you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more artists and story lovers can find The Heart of Show Business.Let's keep this going!→ Instagram (daily insights + behind the scenes)→ Books & Author Page→ Work with Me → ShopGet Social with Michael Nouri Support the showThanks for listening!

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we go from Julie Andrews, Walt Disney, and the battle over casting Mary Poppins… to why middle management so often misses greatness. Chuck Barris buying a bar just to knock it down. The difference between absurd comedy and mean comedy. And why waiting for “Santa Claus” to bring you your shot is a losing strategy. We also get into Netflix's Reality Check… America's Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, kidfluencers… and the messy question of accountability.  PLUS: blizzard life in Connecticut, shovel reflections, Certs updates, Bazooka Joe vs. Double Bubble, and a full candy nostalgia spiral. Underneath it all: don't wait for permission. Take the shot. Follow the fun. Bye Betches.

Later, the duo would create the groundbreaking sitcom "That Girl" and write comedy specials for Bill Cosby and Mary Tyler Moore and Bill (flying solo) would go on to produce and direct hit shows like "Kate & Allie" "Welcome Back, Kotter" and "Who's the Boss?".
