1988 film by Donald Petrie
POPULARITY
He has entertained tens of millions of people over the course of four decades with iconic film and TV appearances, yet he remains humble and modest - He is Mystic Pizza, Falcon Crest and Perry Mason (to name a few!) actor, William R. Moses!His Mom, Marian McCargo and big brothers, Rick and Harry Moses were in the business and, although his step-dad, Congressman, Alphonso E. Bell did not entirely approve, Billy, a high school and college athlete found himself pulled towards acting. A typical Take-Your-Kid-To-Work day found young Billy on the set with Leonard Nimoy, Fess Parker and John Wayne! Or on Capitol Hill with Ted Kennedy, Gerry Ford and Bob Dole. Ample inspiration to dream big! Billy's resume includes the iconic prime time soaps Falcon Crest and Melrose Place, the role of Marc Christian, Rock Hudson's boyfriend, in a groundbreaking film about the legendary Hollywood and LGBTQ history figure, and he has the distinct honor of sharing his feature film debut, in the movie Choices, with fellow newby, Demi Moore!As attorney and P.I. Ken Malansky in NBC's Perry Mason TV film series, Billy worked closely with Raymond Burr and, as it turns out, our own Fritz Coleman who guest starred on an episode entitled, The Case of the Telltale Talk Show Host.From a Mystery Cruise Ship with the Olsen twins to Perry Mason's Colorado courtroom, to the magical setting of Mystic, Connecticut, to his first Negroni on The Love Boat set with Eddie Albert to valiantly attempting to keep Viola Davis from Getting Away With Murder, Billy's stories provide a front row seat to the show biz of the glorious final few decades of the 20th century and journeying on into the aughts and beyond.In recommendations--Weezy: The Lost Passenger by Frances QuinnFritz: Mobland on Paramount+Path Points of Interest:William R.

On this episode of the VIFF podcast, programmer Alan Franey sits down with Mark Levinson to talk about his film, The Universe in a Grain of Sand. Levinson, who is a former theoretical particle physicist as well as a producer on films such as Mystic Pizza and Teen Wolf, details why he transitioned from physicist to filmmaker—influenced by his findings at Berkeley's Pacific Film Archive.The Universe in a Grain of Sand premiered at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival and explores the potential of quantum computing to solve complex problems, honing in on Levinson's view of AI as an extension of human creativity that could also bridge the gap between technology and our understanding of the universe.This episode was recorded during the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival.

Our society is obsessed with “overnight success,” but if you dig a little deeper, you will find that it usually takes years and years of hard work for a person to be successful “overnight.” I was reminded of that this weekend when I re-watched Mystic Pizza. Did you know Matt Damon is in that movie? More in this week's post.
Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk all the big games for this weekend. The guys also give out best bets. College Basketball Weekend Preview: Best Bets and Game Analysis Introduction to the Podcast: Griffin Warner and Big East Ben kick off the episode by reviewing their recent successes in college basketball betting. The podcast's betting record stands at 61%, with Warner at 63% and Ben at 58%. They discuss their experiences with past bets, including a close call with the Syracuse Orange and a win with Wisconsin over Illinois. Personal Updates and Humor: Big East Ben shares he's in Mystic, Connecticut, for a baby shower, humorously reviewing Mystic Pizza as cafeteria-level pizza (3.9/10). Griffin Warner, based in Dallas, Texas, recounts a challenging night involving burst pipes and fire alarms due to freezing temperatures, yet he perseveres to record the podcast. Game Previews and Betting Picks: 1. Kentucky vs. Alabama (SEC Matchup) Current Line: Alabama -8.5, Total Points 177.5 Big East Ben: Alabama has struggled defensively, losing two games in a row. He bets on the over, citing both teams' offensive prowess and Alabama's defensive lapses. Griffin Warner: Warner agrees with the over, questioning Alabama's recent defensive form but acknowledging their efficient offense. 2. Tennessee at Texas A&M (SEC Matchup) Current Line: Tennessee -1.5, Total Points 131.5 Big East Ben: He backs Texas A&M, citing their strong home record (9-3 ATS) and Tennessee's inconsistent play, especially on the road. Griffin Warner: Warner agrees with the A&M pick, doubting Tennessee's ability to win on the road. He supports Texas A&M as home underdogs, despite their poor offensive metrics. 3. Illinois at Duke (Neutral Site at Madison Square Garden) Current Line: Duke -9.5, Total Points 152.5 Big East Ben: He picks Illinois to cover, believing they can slow the game down despite injuries and health concerns. Griffin Warner: Warner favors the under, suggesting Illinois' style will keep the score low, and doubts Duke's dominance against a team like Illinois. 4. Iowa State at Houston (Big 12 Matchup) Current Line: Houston -9.5, Total Points 133.5 Big East Ben: Ben supports Iowa State, citing their strong players and good form. He feels the point spread is too high. Griffin Warner: Warner recalls Iowa State's strong tournament performance and supports them to keep it close. He prefers first-half unders and feels the spread might not hold up late. 5. Gonzaga vs. St. Mary's (WCC Game) Current Line: Gonzaga -4.5, Total Points 143.5 Big East Ben: He acknowledges Gonzaga's strong rating but points to St. Mary's solid conference play and close game with Gonzaga earlier. He thinks St. Mary's can cover. Griffin Warner: Warner agrees with Ben's take, noting that Gonzaga struggles at a high tempo and should respect St. Mary's ability to handle foul trouble in a close game. Best Bets: Griffin Warner's Best Bet: Warner picks Texas A&M as home underdogs against Tennessee, citing Tennessee's struggles on the road. Big East Ben's Best Bet: Ben favors Nevada -1.5 over Boise State, pointing out Nevada's size and athleticism, despite their disappointing season.

In this episode, we slice into the premiere of "Mystic Pizza" at Paper Mill Playhouse, the musical adaptation of the beloved 1988 film. We knead through the dough of this jukebox musical, exploring how it serves up 80s nostalgia with a side of cheesy romance. Does this pizza deliver a satisfying theatrical meal, or is it a half-baked attempt at bringing the cult classic to the stage? We dish out our thoughts on the direction, design, and performances, with a particular focus on the standout female leads. Join us as we debate whether this retro recipe has the right ingredients for Broadway success or if it's better suited for smaller venues. Is "Mystic Pizza" a delicious new addition to the musical theater menu, or does it leave you craving something more original? Tune in for our piping hot take on this nostalgic musical adaptation.

In his book From Hollywood with Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy, Scott Meslow lays out two ways to tell if a given movie is a rom-com. First, his own definition: “A romantic comedy is a movie where (1) the central plot is focused on at least one romantic love story; and (2) the goal is to make you laugh at least as much as the goal is to make you cry.” And then, The Donald Petrie Test, named for the director of some rom-coms, like Mystic Pizza and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but also some edge cases, like Miss Congeniality and Grumpy Old Men: “If you removed the love story from this [comedy], would you still have a movie? If the answer is no, it’s a romantic comedy. […] If the answer is yes, it’s a comedy with a romantic subplot.” So those are the litmus tests. Now, does that make Broadcast News a rom-com, or no? What about Annie Hall? Or something like Grosse Pointe Blank? How about His Girl Friday? Or even, actually, Love Actually? This hour, a deconstruction — and celebration — of the romantic comedy.

Andy Fowler, Communications Specialist for the Yankee Institute, joins us for an episode to discuss Connecticut! Although he wasn't born there, his family has roots in the state that go back to the turn of the 20th century. Garrett & Andy discuss the reputation of Connecticut, its role in the colonial period and the founding of the United States, and the importance of learning about your home state's history. They also joke about the difficulty of pinning down a defining stereotype for people from Connecticut. If you enjoy pizza, the colonial period, or Gilmore Girls, you'll enjoy hearing about the Nutmeg State.

Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Julia Roberts was one of the dominant Hollywood stars for a good twenty-year period. From her breakout role in 1988's Mystic Pizza, Roberts skyrocketed to the top of the A-list when she starred opposite Richard Gere in Garry Marshall's Pretty Woman. An unlikely Cinderella story about an escort that falls in love with a high-powered executive, it's a movie that is definitely a Hollywood fairytale, but one that a lot of people loved in 1990, with it being one of the year's top-grossing movies. From there, Roberts made a string of hits, including Flatliners, The Pelican Brief, My Best Friend's Wedding, Notting Hill and many more, but respect in more heavy vehicles eluded her. Movies like Mary Reilly and Michael Collins were embarrassing for how miscast she was, and for awhile, it looked like she would be stuck doing lightweight but highly profitable rom coms.However, that changed in 2000 when she played the lead in Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich. Based on a true story, the movie finally won her the Academy Award that had long eluded her. It earned her serious cred, and her fame took on a whole new dimension, with roles in Oceans' Eleven, Mona Lisa Smile and Eat Pray Love all big successes. Yet, as the business began to change, emphasizing tentpole movies, Roberts seemed to struggle more than contemporaries like Sandra Bullock to find her place. Eventually, she made a move into TV Prime Video's Homecoming. Still, it's notable how low-key the release of a show like Gaslit was despite the names involved. There was a time when Julia Roberts doing a TV series would have been an event.

After a few weeks in Southern Connecticut, it was time to stop heading west toward New Haven and find some new adventures. It was only a matter of time before everyone and their mother was pointing us to Mystic, home of the iconic Mystic Pizza that was the focus of a Julia Roberts movie about a hundred years ago. Anyhoo, we went and the pizza was "fine." We weren't disappointed with the shops, the donuts, the historic landmarks or the oysters. We did the tourist trap in Old Mystic and Denise went gaga over the ice sculptures while James spent most of his day geeking out over a drawbridge. In the final analysis, we could afford a 1-Bedromm house in Mystic, but dang, we were glad we went! #emptynest #fulltank
By listener request, we bring you a Mystic Pizza rewatch and review. We break down all of the Portuguese elements of this movie -- names, behaviors, lullabies, and even the Last Supper decor. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/folkandfad/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/folkandfad/support
