MARBLE HALLS & SILVER SCREENS — ep.14

Covering the convergence of DC politics and Hollywood entertainment where it contributes to our culture.

This week we are honored to have Christian Toto joining us to discuss film, Hollywood, and just how exactly Ted Kennedy made it onto movie screens. He even sticks around to learn what Han Solo serves for breakfast. (Check his site for great views on the entertainment industry — HollywoodInToto.com)‏

– A look at “Chappaquiddick”, in depth (I know, bad pun)
– Roseanne beats Oscar
– Trump & Putin puff chests
– F1 racing bans chests
– A Quiet Place makes noise at the box office
– An actors union is upset with Sinclair…about script-reading?
– My Han Solo field report from Denny’s
– Robot bees, Slurpee lizards, and my debut of the Bad Movie Report

Sarah rolls eyes at Brad again, and this time you can almost hear it.

SARAH’S TWITTER MOMENT OF THE WEEK:

This thread is corporate synergy done correctly.

this morning at 7-eleven i saw a lizard next to the coffee maker and the cashier said "no worries that's just marvin, he likes the smell"

BRAD’S BAD MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Nic Cage disappoints by NOT going crazy on screen. Here he plays a husband who leaves the city to start his dream of…running a seedy $30-a-night motel??? You know the film is in trouble when the highlight is a dead pig in the pool — and it doesn’t even lead to much. Review: Strictly for the Nic Cage completist. (In other words, for Sarah.)

Available on Amazon and also at RedBox
