Y'all loved the first one so much, we had to bring it back! Hosts jarrett hill and Tre'vell Anderson welcome writer, editor, and Stop Cop City activist Da'Shaun L. Harrison. Harrison also discusses why they and fellow activists are trying to block the development and construction of a police training compound “Cop City”, on the outskirts of Atlanta. Stop Cop City activists believe that going forward with the development would displace and disenfranchise the lives of marginalized people, and further perpetuate the police state we are currently living in.  In addition, they'll discuss how copaganda goes beyond just “cop shows” and legal dramas and can show up in many different forms in media. Later on the show, Tre'vell and jarrett get into some DisHonorable Mentions and a history lesson on civil rights activist Pauli Murray. Mentioned In This Episode:Pauli Murray Copaganda Stop Cop City DIS/Honorable Mentions: jh:HM: Well, I Laughed Podcast - the system was never designed for us to stop workingHM: See The Thing Is..Podcast - I'd rather work thru jealousy than work thru dishonesty” HM: Snoop Dogg, Doggyland Kid Hits, Affirmation SongHM: The Schomburg's marking time: Arts In The Age of IncarcerationTA:HM: The Hollywood Reporter and New York Times Envelope roundtable talk curators, particularly Lacey Rose.Plugs:Da'Shaun L.

Our miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge ends with a look back at her 1988 film Plain Clothes. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT   From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   On this episode, we're going to complete our miniseries on the 1980s films of director Martha Coolidge with her little seen 1988 movie Plain Clothes.   When we last left Ms. Coolidge, she had just seen her 1985 film Real Genius get lost in the mix between a number of similarly themed movies, although it would eventually find its audience through home video and repeated cable airings throughout the rest of the decade.   Shortly after the release of Real Genius, she would pick out her next project, a comedy mystery called Glory Days. Written by Dan Vining, Glory Days was one of a number of television and movie scripts floating around Hollywood that featured a supposedly young looking cop who goes undercover as a student at a high school. Whatever Coolidge saw in it, she would quickly get to work making it her own, hiring a young writer working at Paramount Studios named A. Scott Frank to help her rewrite the script. Coolidge had been impressed by one of his screenplays, a Neo-noir romantic mystery thriller called Dead Again, and felt Frank was the right person to help her add some extra mystery to the Glory Days screenplay.     While Frank and Coolidge would keep some elements of the original Glory Days script, including having the undercover cop's high school identity, Nick Springsteen, be a distant relative of the famous rock star from whose song the script had taken its title. But Coolidge would have Frank add a younger brother for the cop, and add a murdered teacher, who the younger brother is accused of killing, to give the film something extra to work towards.   For the cast, Coolidge would go with a mix of newcomers in the main roles, with some industry veterans to fill out the supporting cast.   When casting began in early 1987, Coolidge looked at dozens of actors for the lead role of Nick Dunbar, but she was particularly struck by thirty-two year old Arliss Howard, whose film work had been limited to supporting roles in two movies, but was expected to become a star once his role in Stanley Kubrick's next project, Full Metal Jacket, opened later in the summer.   Twenty-five year old Suzy Amis, a former model who, like Arlisss, had limited film work in supporting roles, would be cast as Robin, a teacher at the school who Nick develops a crush on while undercover.   The supporting cast would include George Wendt from Cheers, Laura Dern's mother Diane Ladd, an Oscar nominee for her role as Flo in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, veteran character actor Seymour Cassel, an Oscar nominee himself for John Cassavetes' Faces, Robert Stack, the original Elliot Ness who was yet another former Oscar nominee, Harry Shearer, and the great Abe Vigoda.   The $7.5m film would begin production in the Seattle metro area on May 6th, 1987 and would last for seven weeks, ending on June 30th.    Plain Clothes would open in 193 theatres on April 15th, 1988, including 59 theatres in New York City and eight in Seattle. The reviews would be vicious on the film, with many critics pointing out how ludicrous the plot was, and how distracting it was the filmmakers were trying to pass a thirty two year old actor off as a twenty four year old police officer going undercover as an eighteen year old high school student. Audiences would stay away in droves, with only about 57k people buying a ticket to see the film during the opening three days. A performance so bad, Paramount would end up pulling the film from theatres after seven days at a $289k ticket gross, replacing every screen with another high school-set movie, the similarly-titled Permanent Record, featuring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Rubin and Kathy Baker, which would also be the final film for Martha Coolidge's regular co-star Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting the following year and develop an affinity in Zen Buddhism. She would eventually open her own acting studio in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Not so coincidentally, Martha Coolidge is one of advisory board members of the school.   There would be one more movie for Martha Coolidge in the 1980s, a made for television mystery called Trenchcoat in Paradise, featuring Dirk Benedict from Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team, Catherine Oxenberg from Dynasty, and Bruce Dern, but it's not very good and not really work talking about.   As the 80s moved into the 90s, Coolidge would continue to work both in television and in motion pictures.    In 1991, she would direct her Plain Clothes co-star Diane Ladd alongside Ladd's daughter, Laura Dern, in the Depression-era drama Rambling Rose. But despite unanimous critical consent and Oscar nominations for both Ladd and Dern, the first and only mother-daughter duo to be nominated for the same movie or in the same year, the $7.5m movie would only gross $6.3m.   1993's Lost in Yonkers would be the 23rd film written by Neil Simon, an adaptation of his 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Actors Irene Worth and Mercedes Ruehl would reprise their Broadway roles for the film, although Richard Dreyfuss would replace Kevin Spacey in the pivotal role as the gangster uncle of two teenage boys who go to live with their aunt after their mother dies. Despite good reviews, the $15m Lost in Yonkers would only gross about $9m.   Originally written as a starring vehicle for Madonna, the 1994 romantic-comedy Angie would instead star Geena Davis as an office worker in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who sets her neighborhood upside-down when she decides to become a single mother. Coolidge's highest budgeted film at $26m, Angie would gross just $9.4m, but would in the years to come become famous for being the first film of James Gandolfini, Michael Rispoli and Aida Turturro, who would all go on to star in five years later.   1995's Three Wishes is a bizarre fantasy drama with Patrick Swayze and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, about two young boys whose mother starts to fall for a mysterious stranger after their father is reported missing during the Korean War. The $10m film would be the worst reviewed movie of Coolidge's career, and would barely gross $7m when it was released.   Things would turn around for Coolidge on her next film, Out to Sea. The penultimate film for both Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, this weak but genial romp, according to Janet Maslin of the New York Times, finds the regular co-stars on a Mexico-bound cruise ship, where they must work as dance hosts in order to pay for their trip. Also featuring Golden Girls co-stars Estelle Harris and Rue McClanahan alongside Dyan Cannon and Donald O'Connor, Out to Sea would become her highest grossing film to date, bringing in $29m worth of ticket sales.   While she would make a couple more movies, 2004's The Prince and Me and 2006's Material Girls, Coolidge would spend 1999 and the 2000s making her mark on television, directing episodes of CSI, Madame Secretary, Psych and Weeds, amongst dozens of shows, as well as the 1999 HBO film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, which would not only win its lead star Halle Berry a number of awards including the Emmy, the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award, it would be the first screenplay to be produced by a young writer named Shonda Rhimes. Coolidge herself would be nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Directing of a Movie Made for Television.   But her biggest achievement in Hollywood would come in 2002, when Coolidge would become the first female President of the Directors Guild of America. And in addition to being an advisor to Michelle Meyrink's acting school, she is also a professor of film studies at Chapman University in Southern California.   Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again soon.   Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about the movies we covered this episode.   The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment.   Thank you again.   Good night.

"Life is such a beautiful mess." This is a quote from Elizabeth McCord in Madame Secretary - one of my favorite Netflix binges. I have been thinking about this quote for a couple of weeks and how it so perfectly resonates with me in this season of my life.  I have been noticing lately that the more I pay attention to things going on around me, the more I learn and grow and can really see the beauty in all of it - the good and the hard and the messy. In this episode I talk about some of the seemingly random "things" that the Universe, Fate, or God (whatever you want to call her) has been showing me - from Jen Hatmaker introducing me to Maggie Smith  and what that has to do with Madame Secretary to Collateral Beauty to my sweet pup - Daisy. www.TheNextTwentyThree.com

For this episode we'll be looking back on the legacy of Toni Morrison with Nambi E. Kelley. Kelley is an actor, playwright, and screenwriter. As an actor she's appeared in numerous onstage roles with leading regional theaters, as well as in TV shows like Search Party, Madame Secretary, Elementary, and The Beast opposite Patrick Swayze. Her writing career has included plays like Xtigone, For Her as a Piano, and, perhaps most prominently, an acclaimed adaptation of Richard Wright's novel Native Son, which has been widely produced and is currently running Off-Broadway in a production by The Acting Company. Her latest play, however, is an adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel Jazz, written at Morrison's request. Given Morrison's recent passing, this seemed like a perfect opportunity to reflect on her literary impact, as well as to catch up with Kelley on her busy artistic life—which now also includes writing for the third season of Showtime's series The Chi. If you're a fan of either of these writers' work, I think you're going to enjoy this conversation on what it was like for Kelley to spend the last few years delving into Morrison's writing, including the unexpected phrase she found that, to quote her, “blew her mind.” But in addition to discussing her adaptation of Jazz, she also shares an inside look at how she got her new job in television, and somehow this interview even ends with her father's advice on relationships. So if you wanted some TV and dating tips thrown in with your coverage of the late Toni Morrison's Nobel Prize-winning legacy, this show has you covered. Follow us:Nambi E.

Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 11: AWOL (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast)   The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network   DC Comics and Warner Bros' impact on Arrow continues to be felt and Starling Tribune Reporters Chris, Neil and Stargate Pioneer give their takes on the death of Amanda Waller and the potential exit of A.R.G.U.S. from the show. Felicity gets a double tap this week with her codename, Overwatch, and her past Goth Felicity double and SP drools. And keeping on Felicity, the reporters discuss just how handicap accessible the Lair 5.0 really is for “Hot Wheels” Overwatch. The reporters also discuss just hoe much of a theme AWOL was during the episode and SP argues his theory again about how Andy and the campaign intern are Damian Darhk plants. The fights were as good as always but Shawspire as a villain organization was not all that great with one noted exception. The reporters give their takes on just how redeemable Laurel is at the moment. SP and listener @IstriveToThrive coin the term #nobodygotshanked, and the crew revisits their picks on who is in the grave. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat.

Success! Triumph! Glorious victory. We talk about what makes for a good victory condition, whether or not degrees of victory matter, and also methods you can use to compress your computer files. Then it's on to a game review, where we report on the intelligence we gathered infiltrating spy-themed games [redacted] and Codenames. Yes, Madame Secretary, we got the facts. No, Madame Secretary, no entanglements or complications. The Ukrainian girl? No... just another face in the line of duty... Intro Gag: Comin' to ya' live from a stately pleasure dome, I'm Tom Rich and with me as always is Elizabeth Kublai-Ross, and this is the Mildly Alarming Podcast. Episode 3d8+1: Deeply Confusing Callbacks ##Segment 1: Winrars, Winrars, and Chicken Dinrars Are there universal characteristics to “winning” in tabletop games, or is it just “whatever this particular game defines it as?” Are different “degrees” of winning at all meaningful? For instance, if I say that scoring 10 points is a minor victory but 20 points is a major victory, does that matter even a little bit? Can there be a successful game that has a defined ending, but no winning? Episode Sponsor: Paul Smenis Micro-erections ##Mildly Alarming Reviews: [redacted] and Codenames The boys played a game called [redacted], in which spies sneak around an embassy and don't know what's going on. We also got in on the much-hyped Codenames. Were they games well-purchased? We'll tell you! We'll tell you more than you could ever want to know.
