TVC 682.4: Burt Kearns, author of SHEMP! The Biography of The Three Stooges' Shemp Howard: The Face of Film Comedy, talks to Ed and guest co-host Chuck Harter about some of the more notable roles in Shemp Howard's diverse career as a solo actor, including Private Buckaroo (1942), a musical comedy featuring Harry James, The Andrews Sisters, and Mary Wickes that Burt says is as close to a star vehicle that Shemp ever had; why Shemp rejoined The Stooges in 1946, after Curly's debilitating stroke; and why rejoining the Stooges gave Shemp an immortality that he may not have achieved had he remained on his own. SHEMP! is available through Applause Books.

I wasn't in Speed! It's Pride and we're proud to be here with Veronica Cartwright. You Might Know Her From Alien, The Witches of Eastwick, The Birds, The Children's Hour, Will & Grace, The Right Stuff, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Inserts, and The X-Files. Veronica talked to us about her proper role in the queer canon byway of the Scissor Sisters, Jerry Herman, and StraightJacket; the trans retcon via James Cameron of Lambert in Alien; and her performance in the old Hollywood lesbian film The Children's House opposite Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. And that's just the beginning! We also got to dig into her iconic roles on The X-Files as an abductee in one of the scariest arcs of all time, her rubber-faced scene-stealing scenes in The Witches of Eastwick,  working with Alfred Hitchock...multiple times, and her criminally underseen performance in Inserts. What a goddamn treat. And no, she wasn't in Speed. Happy Pride, queerdos, we love you!  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Liza Minnelli documentary out at Tribeca Film Festival:  LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story A House Is Not a Disco, Fire Island documentary Andrea McArdle's daughter is Alexis Kalehoff Find our special episode with Barrie Kreinik who wrote a plays, The Queen of 14th Street about Eva Le Gallienne Mary Pickford was NOT in the relationship with William Randolph Hearst.

Get ready for a two-fer as we don our nun-drag and raise our voices for Whoopi Goldberg's Sister Act and its sequel. Has a life of poverty, obedience and chastity ever looked so dang fun? Has Catholic guilty ever been so successfully played for laughs? Why is Kathy Najimy such a national treasure? And is Lauryn Hill's voice the only redeeming part of the sequel? We'll get back to you after we perfect our Motown choreography. 

Hosts Sonia Mansfield and Margo D. go to church and dork out about 1992's SISTER ACT, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Mary Wickes, Bill Nunn, Harvey Keitel, and Maggie Smith.

Two war buddies become successful singer/songwriters, and end up at a quaint inn in Vermont and put on a show! It's Christmas Day, and Ashley, Matt & Ryan are here to talk about the classic White Christmas, in our final 12 Days of Christmas episode. Thank you for going on this holiday journey with us. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! 

We're just a couple of Beths aspiring to be Jo, hoping to be Amy but happy to end up like Meg, to say nothing of Marmee! This week, we're welcoming in the holiday season with a perfect early 90s cozy up on the couch and cry movie, “Little Women”! Kirsten Dunst nearly steals the show until Clare Danes pulls out all the stops, Winona Ryder earns her Oscar nod and Susan Sarandon finally brings up the topic of "Stepmom" on this podcast. We swoon for Christian Bale's wedge and Mary Wickes' ability to detect a draft, and imagine our own sapphic retelling of the Jo and Friedrich subplot. We also have a lot to love for Hannah and a lot of concern for Mrs. Gardiner's IMDb photo.

Can you believe it peep's? Six more 70's movie reviews for you. 4 from 1975, one 1978 sequel to a 1975 film, and one 1980 film that's just there to bring some fun random chaos, and that's not sayin anything about the film itself, we'll get there. Starting off our 4- 75's in alphabetical order we have Disney's (Escape to witch mountain 1975). I'm sorry but give me just 25 million dollars and I know that I could make an amazing reboot of this shit, I think the story is pretty great and timeless, and though I've never directed nothing, I am one hundred percent sure of it. Damn it Dominic, stop casting an imaginary film in yer head and get it together, you've got to vacuum soon. Ok moving on to (In Celebration 1975) Seriously why is Oliver Reed NOT in this. I don't normally complain about casting but……… Here we DO have the annoying artist from An Unmarried Woman, the principal of Rushmore academy in Rushmore, and three other actors from other Lindsey Anderson movies and that's it. Yes 70's film fans it's yet another way to loyal to the confinements of a play movie, I usually for some reason really love these, do I here? You'll just have to wait and find out. Mystique lure, 5 points! Next up is (Mackintosh and TJ 1975) and omg as I write this we just watched the movie Cold Turkey last night, and although I may like much of both of these, they and many other films that even in the 70's should of known better. There are both suspiciously 99.9 percent white people only movies. I know I know the “of the time” BS but we should notice and mention this poop BECAUSE it's noticeable, I mean IS that what you wanna say, I don't think so, I hope not. Here we have Roy Rogers in his last movie, and again, lots to dig here especially the fact that ROY has got skills, but also it's fun and mostly light, way too bad it's mad white. GARAK of DS9 is here as well. Onward we go to review (Shampoo 1975) and like In Celebration, here we have a director I really like, making a film that, wellllllllllllllll I'd rather not say. I will say that some actor greats are here doin great work, Julie, Christie, Goldie Hawn, Jack Warden, Lee Grant, and Carrie Fisher to name a few. I left out Warren Beatty not because his acting is bad here, its great ish (he always seems to play so clueless) but because I want to point out that his character alone is why this doesn't get a higher rating, from me, lets see what the others say. This is taking way to long, next up to bat is the sequel (Return to Witch Mountain 1978) and guess what…………… it sucks HA! Betty Davis and Christopher Lee don't suck, buuuuuuuuuut. Moving on (finally) to (Touched by Love 1980) gawd that is such a basic ass title I guess I can't say it enough, it's so very free box. Here we have Diane Lane in her 2nd film ever, also older Kunta from roots is here and great character actor with 150 credits Mary Wickes. This one took all of us awhile to figure out that it takes place in I think the late 50's. That was funny n fun journey, as we slowly gathered context clues. It might of even said the year, but this one is sadly only available on VHS and I started it like 45 seconds too late and and did not wanna get up off my butt to rewind it, til the end. Were silly. If you're interested in the history of the treatment of the developmentally disabled it's quite a worthwhile watch, although this place seems like the best ever for the 50's or 60's. Longest episode synopsis ever, apologies and thanks so much for listening.

In this episode, I discuss with author Author Steve Taravella his Book Mary Wickes I Know I've Seen That Face Before. Mary is a face that many recognize but few can recall her name and in fact, many people believe she was in shows or films that she never was in. Here a few behind the scenes stories on Mary's life.

Ms. Day sings along with special guests Danny Thomas (in an episode originally aired on CBS on March 28, 1952) and Gordon MacRae and Mary Wickes (originally aired on CBS on May 9, 1952).

"Don’t let’s ask for the moon, we have the stars!" Irving Rapper’s 1942 film Now, Voyager may have met with mixed reviews but it certainly found its audience, showing that people were thrilled with the on-screen pairing of Bette Davis and Paul Henreid in a story about a woman learning to come out of her shell. It helped that Davis connected so much with this role. She fought for the part and got it, creating one of her iconic and romantic screen personas. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Bette Davis series with Rapper’s film Now, Voyager.  We talk about Davis and our thoughts of her in general, paired with our thoughts of this film and what works – or doesn’t work – for us. We chat about Casey Robinson’s script and Olive HIggins Prouty’s source material, contemplating issues we have like the flashback structure, and wondering if the story could have been told without them. (We also contemplate the original story, wondering if perhaps its foundation was flashbacks, giving the filmmakers a sense that they needed to include them.) We look at the cast – notably Davis, Henreid, Claude Rains, Gladys Cooper and Mary Wickes – and discuss what they bring to the table. And we revel in the sweepingly romantic themes that composer Max Steiner for which won an Oscar. It’s a film that Andy loves and Pete finds problematic in lots of little ways, but certainly one well worth talking about. How does it stack up for you? Check it out then tune in! Film Sundries Watch this film: iTunes • Amazon Script Transcript Original theatrical trailer Original poster artwork Now, Voyager by Olive Higgins Prouty Flickchart Letterboxd Trailers of the Week Andy's Trailer: Wilson (Red Band) — "The sequel to Cast Away that follows Wilson the volleyball and his world exploits this is not. It’s Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern reconnecting with the daughter they gave away for adoption 17 years ago. But funny. Funny in the best of red band ways. Plus it’s based on a Daniel Clowes graphic novel, so it’s got that going for it." Pete's Trailer: Gifted — "Once again, you go Chris Evans for making interesting, feel-good, even formulaic non-Cap films that bring a man tear right to my big stupid face. And a fine welcome back to Marc Webb who may just be bringing me everything I loved about 500 Days of Summer in the kinda foul mouth of McKenna Grace."
