TVC 685.3: Ed welcomes renowned actress, teacher, and independent filmmaker Michelle Danner (Hello Herman, The Runner, Bad Impulse). Michelle's latest film, The Italians, is an ensemble comedy-drama about an idiosyncratic Italian-American family that drive each other crazy, but who pull themselves together upon learning that the matriarch (Michelle's character) has a serious heart condition—a crisis that causes the entire family to reevaluate themselves. Michelle Danner stars in and directs The Italians, which also features Rob Estes, Matthew Daddario, Abigail Breslin, Lainie Kazan, and a lot of scenes with food. Michelle talks to Ed about what attracted her to making The Italians; why the movie represents a change of pace for her; and what it was like to direct Donald Sutherland in Miranda's Victim (2023), a historical drama that turned out to be one of Sutherland's final screen appearances. The Italians is now available for streaming on demand on Amazon Prime.

  Bassist Tom Mendel has had a long and storied career as a bass player. He has been ‘based' (pardon the pun) in Chicago for decades. He's played in the pit for long running shows like ‘Lion King', ‘Wicked', ‘Hamilton', ‘Moulin Rouge', ‘Billy Elliott', ‘Kinky Boots', and many more. But his music has taken him all over the country. He has toured with the likes of Lainie Kazan. He's played club dates with Christine Ebersole, Mandy Gonzalez, Hollis Resnik, to mention just a few. Tom has also recorded extensively, playing hundreds of jingles in Chicago's recording houses. He's also played numerous sessions from Los Angeles to New Orleans to New York. Tom has also been an advocate for union musicians for decades. Much of that work was for those who make their livings playing in the theatre musicians. In fact, he was an early member of the Theatre Musicians Association. He served 7 years as the president of the Chicago chapter, before spending 5 years as the national president of TMA. Tom has also worked on many union committees, negotiating contracts for higher wages and better working conditions with Chicago theatres, as well as for touring musicians. And that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as his work on behalf of performing professionals. But Tom is more than ‘just' a musician. He's also a Master Scuba instructor, a yoga enthusiast, and is not only a proud father, but has recently joined the ranks of his favorite new title: grandpa! Basis for bassist I first met Tom in 1987 when I joined the cast of Chicago's longest running musical up until that time, ‘Pump Boys & Dinettes'. We performed that show together for nearly three years at Chicago's Apollo Theatre. We've been good friends ever since. We know each other's family and have shared the best and worst of those times. Professionally, we've had the good fortune to work together many times over the years. And because the world of pit musicians is not that big, we have a lot of friends and colleagues in common. ‘Bassist Tom Mendel' is just the jumping off point for this conversation. Come check out this friendly chat between two good friends. I think you'll enjoy getting to know this admirable and accomplished man.

We're celebrating Labor Day this week by republishing a classic episode from last year all about the television event that became synonymous with not only this holiday, but also its enigmatic (and problematic) host - Mr. Jerry Lewis. Enjoy!---It's that time of year again - Labor Day Weekend. And we all know the two most important things about that day: it's the final chance to wear white clothing (thank you, Elle Woods), and it's also when the nation used to tune into the Muscular Dystrophy Association's annual fundraising broadcast, or as it's better known, the Jerry Lewis Telethon.Rob teaches Ray about Good Jerry and Bad Jerry; the early days of Martin and Lewis, their subsequent break-up, and their unexpected reunion; how Lainie Kazan earned her Actor's Studio stripes while singing Barry Manilow; Joan Crawford's questionable poetry choices; and why MDA eventually disassociated itself from the very man who popularized its fundraiser and championed its cause.If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

America just celebrated Labor Day, and we all know the two things that day has historically signified: it's the last chance to wear white shoes (thank you, Elle Woods), and, until 2014, it was also the only chance to tune in to the Muscular Dystrophy Association's annual fundraiser - better known to most people as the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Rob teaches Ray about Good Jerry, Bad Jerry, and all the Jerrys in between; the early days, break up, and reunion of Martin and Lewis; how Lainie Kazan earned her Actor's Studio stripes while singing Barry Manilow; Joan Crawford's questionable poetry choices; and why MDA eventually disassociated itself from the very man who popularized its fundraiser and championed its cause.

Dean Martin epitomized cool. A founding member of the Rat Pack, Dean was a multi-talented performer who was part of the number one comedy act in America, a chart-topping singer for over half a century and one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and on TV. He was the consummate charmer on stage and off. Everybody loved him. Yet for all his celebrity, fame and adoration, no one ever truly knew him. King of Cool seeks to change this. Through the use of interviews with friends, family, those who worked with him and modern actors and musicians inspired by him, as well as never before seen archival footage including from his time with Jerry Lewis, his movies and his TV Variety Show and Roasts, viewers get an intimate and personal account of his life. The film dives deep to try and understand why he was such an enigma and even searches to find Dean's Rosebud. Featuring interviews with Alec Baldwin, RZA, Jon Hamm, George Schlatter, Norman Lear, Barbara Rush, Florence Henderson, Lainie Kazan, Deana Martin, Angie Dickinson, Tommy Tune, Peter Bogdanovich, Dick Cavett, Regis Philbin, Bob Newhart, Barry Levinson, Carol Burnett, James Woods. Director Tom Donahue joins us for a conversation about one of the most accomplished entertainers to ever grace a film set, television sound stage, recording studio or nightclub, and how he brought Dean back to life through the stories told by the family and friends who knew him best.

After a disastrous botched recording yesterday, MMIS is back with The Journey of Natty Gann, a surprisingly violent Disney live action romp that is not about an intrepid girl reporter! Ali turns in an admirable performance, given that she was furious to have to do this twice. Jon refuses to sing Spider-Wolf again. The Journey of Natty Gann was directed by Jeremy Kagan, and stars Meredith Salenger, John Cusack, Ray Wise, Lainie Kazan, Scatman Crothers, and Jed the Wolf-Dog. Screenplay by Clifford Odets and Jack London.* *(This might be a lie)
