The 2019 Razzie Awards

Click here to listen to the interview.

TICKLING GIANTS — Dr. Bassem Youssef & Sara Taksler Interview

Often called the Egyptian Jon Stewart, Dr. Bassem Youssef was the star of a wildly popular television show there that satirized politics in ways that country had never seen. Likely it won’t see one like it again any time soon. The show, entitled, “The Show,” was taken off the air despite high ratings when the… Read More »

Priscilla Queen of the Desert: The Musical — John Fisher Interview

John Fisher is a busy man. Actor, playwright, and Executive Director of Theatre Rhinoceros, the longest running queer theater in the world. Simultaneously. Such a workload prompted me to ask him when he found time to sleep when we spoke on May 12, 2017. The larger subject was Theatre Rhinoceros’ production of Priscilla, Queen of… Read More »

2017 Razzie Awards — John Wilson Interview

I always look forward to my annual interview with John Wilson. Especially when I’m sitting through one of the very, very bad movies that will be singled out for the Razzie treatment. Now in its 37th year, the Razzie Awards, which he founded as a lark in his living room, have lost none of their… Read More »

David Farrier is TICKLED

David Farrier is TICKLED

When I spoke with David Farrier by phone on June 22, 2016, I started by asking him if he had been served any legal papers that day.  It was a semi-facetious question.  Making his endlessly fascinating, endlessly surprising documentary, TICKLED, has resulted in an ongoing string of legal threats and a not a few legal… Read More »

W. Kamau Bell Loves THE LAST DRAGON and You Should, Too.

W. Kamau Bell, comedian, podcaster, broadcaster, writer, host of the late-lamented Totally Biased, and soon to be co-host of CNN’s United Shades of America, has proven himself a savvy connoisseur of cinema. Aside from the obvious entertainment value of a film, he is a student, and a fan, of the subtext of films that might… Read More »
