Steven Spielberg on his New Film "Disclosure Day"

From playing army on his boyhood farm to portraying some of film's more memorable characters, Bill Sadler's journey proves that great storytelling often begins in the simplest places.Bill and Weezy kick things off with shared memories of growing up in the Buffalo, NY area, where running through the woods, horsing around in the hay loft and inventing games, laid the foundation for Bill's future in storytelling. He launched his performance career with a standup comedy character he created called“Banjo Bill,” who led to a high school teacher encouraging Bill to play the lead role in the school's production of Harvey. By age 18, Bill had shared the stage with a banjo and an invisible rabbit and he was hooked on theater.After studying at SUNY Geneseo and Cornell, Bill immersed himself in the New York theater scene, starring in 75 productions over the course of 12 years and making his way to Broadway in Biloxi Blue! He shares the skinny on working with Neil Simon,  where constant rewrites were both challenging and thrillingly hilarious.The conversation turns to some of Bill's most iconic screen roles, including The Shawshank Redemption. He describes director Frank Darabont's vision of a true ensemble and the A game expected from that stellar cast. Bill reminds us that the film closed in three weeks and only Oscar nominations and audiences discovering its brilliance led to its eventual cultural impact and enduring legacy.He also discusses stepping into his villainous Die Hard 2 role following Alan Rickman's iconic fall from the grace of Die Hard 1. Bill also shares a behind-the-scenes moment when force of childhood habit had him ruing takes with his own machine gun sound effects!Fans of Bill & Ted will appreciate Bill's Grim Reaper hot takes and his confession that in the decades between films, he developed an allergy to the makeup required for the role. So, yes, Bill is allergic to death.The episode closes with a look at Bill's latest work, the short film The Last Days of Byron Bray, which studies a love interest of Leonard  Bernstein. Bill calls it his finest acting to date.And in IMDB Roulette: How the Fonz made Shakespeare cool, Newhart slapstick and The Cartoon President provide the laughter that keeps us from crying.Current media recommendations--Weezy: The Way Home Season 4 on Netflix, Hallmark, Hallmark+ and PrimeProducer Dina: The Boroughs on NetflixPath Points of Interest:William Sadler Fan SiteWilliam Sadler on WikipediaWilliam Sadler on IMDBWilliam Sadler on FacebookWilliam Sadler on XThe Last Days of Byron BrayThe BoroughsThe Way Home Season 4

Dominic Mohan in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/1996-Backstage-Wildest-Britains-must-read/dp/0008767130 https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2026/event/1996-a-celebration-of-the-wildest-year-of-britains-wildest 1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram.Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star – and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth. Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn't watching the party from afar – he was in the room. Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro '96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse. Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain – and created legends along the way. Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?

Joe Escalante's final expedition into the business end of showbiz... That's right! The same people who gave Joe an award for managing Sublime to the top of the music industry also gave him his radio pink slip in the same week!!! This week: a brief rundown of the box office numbers, and Joe takes a nostalgic trip into his childhood and his extensive toy collection (and when he stopped collecting), as well as a trip down his radio memory lane, regaling us with some of his favorite moments and experiences in both his music, radio, and documentary talking head career. Joe has LOVED being a part of the Los Angeles radio landscape for nearly two decades, and, with all his success in managing, lawyering, film-making, and show-running, the timing of this could not be better for him... Producer Sam is moving to Spain to be with his kids, so all of this times out perfectly for us. We love you.
