Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) slides back into his guest seat for a breakdown of Virtuosity, the 1995 sci-fi action thriller that sends a prisoner with a police officer background on a mission to stop a serial killer who's managed to escape his birthplace of virtual reality and is now terrorizing the real world. The investment that director Brett Leonard puts into VR through projects like Virtuosity and The Lawnmower Man, the lovably bonkers expanse of Russell Crowe's committed performance, the cheesy and dated 90s CGI in this cyberpunk landscape, and the missed opportunity to further flesh out the commentary on topics like incarcerated slave labor and police brutality stand out as a few of the subjects that this episode covers. Directed by Brett Leonard, Virtuosity stars Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Kelly Lynch, Stephen Spinella, William Forsythe, Louise Fletcher, William Fichtner, Costas Mandylor, Kevin J. O'Connor, Kaley Cuoco, Christopher Murray, and Heidi Schanz.

You're never too old to make your Broadway debut! Broadway News: Emilie Kouatchou made her debut as the first Black Christine Daaé on Broadway in The Phantom of The Opera. She will play Christine this week on Wednesday, November 3rd, Thursday, November 4th, and Saturday November 6th's matinee. Next week she'll lead on Monday November 8th, Thursday the 11th's matinee and Saturday the 13th's matinee. The following week she'll play on Monday November 15th, Thursday the 18th and Saturday the 20th's matinee. And during the last week of November she'll play on Monday the 22nd, Thursday the 25th and Saturday the 27th to round out the month. Audra McDonald is coming back to Broadway in Adrienne Kennedy's Ohio State Murders. This will make Kennedy's Broadway playwriting debut at the age of 90. Ohio State Murders will be directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon, who last directed A Soldier's Play before the Broadway shutdown. We received a first look at Celina Smith as Annie in the upcoming Annie Live on NBC. Joined by Sandy the dog, the picture features Smith in Annie's iconic red dress. The photo also included Harry Connick Jr. as Daddy Warbucks and Taraji P. Henson as Miss Hannigan. The live musical will air on NBC on December 2nd. Right in time for the holidays. The iconic Broadway snow globes have arrived back to Times Square. The “show globes” portray scenes inspired by Ain't Too Proud—The Life and Times of the Temptations, Dear Evan Hansen, The Lion King, and Wicked. They will be on display through December 26 in the Broadway Plaza between 45th and 46th Streets. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal Studio's adaptation of Wicked was set to begin shooting in March in Atlanta. But the production's start has now been pushed to June, and it will relocate to the U.K. Reports are saying the delay will allow the filmmakers to get production efficiencies in-line, as Wicked will be the first production to shoot on stages at Universal's recently built Sky Studios in Elstree. Jon M. Chu is set to direct. Times Square is getting an exciting new performance space. The new indoor/outdoor stage is part of TSX Broadway, a 46-story tower currently under construction in Duffy Square at 1568 Broadway, between 46th and 47th Streets and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2023. Casting: Adrienne Warren took her final bow as Tina Turner on Halloween. She originated the role in London in 2018. She is now moving on after a deserved TONY Award and much praise. Nkeki Obi-Melekwe will now fill the role of Tina full time. Alex Hairston, Libby Lloyd, Anthony Murphy, Kristen Faith Oei and Michael Williams will join the cast of Diana for its return to Broadway next month. As previously announced, Jeanna de Waal will star as Diana, alongside Roe Hartrampf as Prince Charles, Erin Davie as Camilla Parker Bowles and Judy Kaye as Queen Elizabeth. “Diana” is scheduled to resume preview performances at the Longacre Theatre on Nov. 2 ahead of an opening night on Nov. 17.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a 2018 American biographical film directed by Marielle Heller and with a screenplay by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty, based on the 2008 confessional memoir of the same name by Lee Israel. Melissa McCarthy stars as Israel, and the story follows her attempts to revitalize her failing writing career by forging letters from deceased authors and playwrights. The film also features Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells, Jane Curtin, Anna Deavere Smith, Stephen Spinella, and Ben Falcone in supporting roles. Israel took the title from an apologetic line in a letter in which she posed as Dorothy Parker. - Wiki

This interview contains spoilers for the play and film. Isaac Butler and Dan Kois, authors of “The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. The book is an oral history of the play by Tony Kushner, looking at not only its history, but how Angels in America fits into the fabric of the American saga and theatrical history. The play Angels in America has become a stage classic since it was first produced in the early 1990s. Dealing with the confluence of the AIDS epidemic, the Reagan era, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the rise of gay liberation, the seven-hour epic theater piece also became a 2003 film directed by Mike Nichols and starring Meryl Streep, Mary Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Jeffrey Wright, Emma Thompson and Al Pacino as Roy Cohn, available now on CD and via HBO. At present, major productions of Angels in America are mounted in both New York and Berkeley. The New York production, which runs through June 15, 2018, stars Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield, and is up for eleven Tony Awards. The Berkeley Rep production, starring Stephen Spinella and Randy Harrison, runs through July 22, 2018. The evening after this interview, Dan Kois and Isaac Butler were on stage at Berkeley Rep with Stephen Spinella, who plays Roy Cohn in that production. It turns out that it was Spinella himself who wanted to restore the scene, and Tony Kushner gave the go-ahead, saying that it was fine to stick it in during or after the bows at the end of the play, like the teasers at the end of superhero films. At some point, though, director Tony Taccone chose to move the scene before the epilogue because the stage would be too crazy at the bows to suddenly do another scene with effects. Thus it became part of the play. Two other changes new to this Berkeley Rep production, mentioned by direcctor Tony Taccone: a revelation is made by the character Harper to her husband Joe in their final scene together, and a speech by Prior Walter during the heaven sequence.   The post The Ascent of “Angels in America”: Isaac Butler & Dan Kois appeared first on KPFA.

Tony Kushner, playwright, “Angels in America” and other works, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in San Francisco, March 17, 2006. “Angels in America” is currently running at Berkeley Rep through July 22, 2018. Tony Kushner's masterpiece, Angels in America, is currently running in New York, with a cast that includes Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane, and at Berkeley Rep directed by Tony Taccone, with a cast that includes Randy Harrison and Stephen Spinella and runs through July 22nd. On March 17, 2006, Tony Kushner came to San Francisco to promote the Library of America Collected Plays of Arthur Miller, which he'd edited. The interview took place three months after the opening of Munich, the Steven Spielberg film for which he'd written the screenplay, and a few weeks after the controversial Oscar ceremony, where the favorite, Brokeback Mountain, lost best picture to the lightly regarded film Crash. The wide-ranging interview deals with Arthur Miller, Munich, Angels in America both on stage and film, Homebody/Kabul, Caroline or Change, and issues which remain contemporary, twelve years later. Since 2006, Tony Kushner wrote the screenplay for the film, “Lincoln,” worked on the screenplay for August Wilson's “Fences” and is currently working on an adaptation of West Side Story. His only completed play since 2006 has been  The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures . which was first produced in 2009.

Nichtstun, Drogen und Langeweile sind an der Tagesordnung, bis zu dem Abend, an dem die Ruhe ein jähes Ende findet. Ein halb erfrorener Mann namens Colqhoun schleppt sich mit letzter Kraft in das Fort, um Hilfe zu finden und so nimmt ein bestialischer Alptraum seinen Lauf. Der scheinbar harmlose Fremde entpuppt sich als blutrünstiger Kannibale, der gnadenlos seine immer größer werdende Gier nach Menschenfleisch befriedigt. Für die Truppe beginnt ein mörderischer Überlebenskampf, bei dem es nur um eins geht: Fressen oder gefressen werden.

Sin embargo esto plantea un gran dilema: si la paz llega antes de que se apruebe la enmienda, el Sur tendrá poder para rechazarla y mantener la esclavitud; si la paz llega después, decenas de miles de personas seguirán muriendo en el frente. En una carrera contrarreloj para conseguir los votos necesarios, Lincoln se enfrenta a la mayor crisis de conciencia de su vida.
