And she'll tell you 9 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.920 when I call to line up for her to be 10 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.920 on again. I use that phrase on her answer machine 11 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.719 and she's I hear a giggling in the background. 12 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.960 I am giggling. I've got I'm very flattered by that, 13 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.920 Moniker Morgan, and it's so I'm so happy to be 14 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.439 here the day after Christmas. I'm exhausted. 15 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.760 I'm trying to get people to call you that, any 16 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.760 business people, friends, I'm trying to get everybody. 17 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.680 Everybody called me that I insist that they do. 18 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.599 Oh good. I'm a happy, happy, joy joy camper. So 19 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.920 let's talk about this December. I cannot remember a year 20 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.200 would there have been so many Christmas movies? First week, 21 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:39.560 second week, third week of December Christmas that had their debut, right. 22 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.120 Yeah, maybe, I don't know. I feel like it's been 23 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.680 all sort of dragged out through the fall and all 24 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:47.840 sort of bunched up in the last month or so, 25 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.319 and a lot of movies that still have not opened, 26 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.200 which are you know, big movies, and movies that opened 27 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.400 earlier got a lot of buzz earlier. I feel like 28 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.959 it's been kind of spread out, so right, So there 29 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.239 you go. But it's a very it's a very strange season. 30 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.200 A lot of really good movies, but not a lot 31 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.479 of sort of blockbusters that everybody was dying to see 32 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.759 in a sense, you know, maybe Wicked. Let's say Wicked, 33 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:14.680 and they have. 34 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.919 Made their money with that movie. Oh good grief have they? 35 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.840 Oh yeah, it's Wicked and Mowana, who have just been 36 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.960 really gangbusters at the box office. Pretty incredible. 37 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.759 I have one question when you say Mawana makes me 38 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.960 think of Disney. When I think of Disney, I think 39 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:33.879 of The Lion King. 40 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:35.599 I think of the Rock. 41 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.879 Yeah, okay, I'm so glad you have an image of him, 42 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.400 But the prequel to The Lion King. We all know 43 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.400 that we lost James Earl Jones this year, but we 44 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:58.639 also know that movies get made five ten a year 45 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:04.759 before they get relieved. Could he reprise his voice as 46 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.000 Mufasa grew up? 47 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:08.000 You know. 48 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.879 It's Aaron Pierre is the guy who voices Mufasa in 49 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.159 the twenty twenty four film Mufasa the Lion King. So 50 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:23.439 he's replacing James Earl Jones, and that was made. I 51 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.039 think that decision was made pretty early in the development 52 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.080 of the film, and that was really a long time 53 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.120 before James Earl Jones passed away, and the film is 54 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.680 a prequel. So he sounds like a slightly younger version 55 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.680 of the Lion King of Mufasa, which is appropriate, I mean, 56 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.479 because who could really replicate James Earl Jones's deep basso, 57 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.919 you know, baritone voice. 58 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.680 James Earl Jones could do it. And if he was 59 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.240 still alive when they were putting this whole movie together, 60 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:57.840 I don't know why they didn't pick him to be 61 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.080 Mufasa again. 62 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.080 You know, who knows why that decision was made and 63 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.560 what you know, how willing he was to take on 64 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.120 that part. Maybe he was unable to handle that part. 65 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.639 I don't know at that point. You know what kind 66 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.879 of shape he was in. I don't know, but I 67 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.199 know the decision was made earlier, and maybe they just 68 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.279 decided they wanted a younger voice and that's how they 69 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.040 did it. I don't know. That's all I can tell you. 70 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.600 But it's an actor named Aaron Pierre. 71 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.560 That's what Disney does. And by the way, this is 72 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:39.720 a trivia fact for you, Okay, the only how can 73 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:47.000 I say this production? Will you heard James Earl Jones 74 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.399 say Luke, I'm your father. 75 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.800 You know they should have called you Morgan, they should 76 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.120 have called you my god. When you just said that, 77 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.680 I'm thinking, Yeah, do you do a lot of voice work, 78 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.720 I mean, beyond what you do on the radio. So 79 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:06.079 brilliant I have, I. 80 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.040 Have, But no one called. My phone didn't ring. But 81 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.480 what was the only I'll just say thing for lack 82 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.519 of anything else, and I'll tell you it was a 83 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.240 TV show. Because he never said that in the movies, 84 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.160 the Star Wars movies. He never said exact said that 85 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.959 exact line. But a lot of people say that as 86 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.319 if he did. It's like Kerry Grant never said Judy, Judy, Judy. Yeah, 87 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.000 there are so many of those that became well, it's and. 88 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.000 That Casa Blanc Alne. Play it Sam, you know, play 89 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.959 it against Sam. That was never said exactly that way. 90 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.879 If she can stand it, so can I, you know, 91 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.439 play that whatever it was. 92 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.000 I just watched Castle Blanca this week. HBO is showing it. 93 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.240 Yeah, oh yeah, And I watched. 94 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.879 It again for the eighty millionth time because I love 95 00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:59.040 that movie. 96 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.360 There are some movies you just never get tired of 97 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.879 watching over and over again, never never. I always love 98 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:11.639 rewatching A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson 99 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.759 de me Moore that what's that movie? And I love 100 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:22.720 that final courtroom scene where you know, Cruise and Nicholson 101 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.279 go toe to toe head to head in that line 102 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:31.399 even imitates Nicholson in that film, So it's it's pretty 103 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.199 funny in that line. 104 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.759 You can't handle the truth. But I have to answer 105 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.399 my question. James O. Jones made an appearance on The 106 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:51.279 Big Bang Theory. Okay, that's that's when he said, because 107 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:59.480 the plot Alan John Cryer's character was going to hire 108 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.959 James Earl Jones to do his voicemail, and James Earl 109 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.600 joneson what do you want? Do you want lukom your 110 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:13.959 father or what? But he just him saying that sent chills. 111 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.399 That my spine, I know, just one of those voices. 112 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.480 And if you know anything about James Earld Jones, then 113 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.879 we read a lot about him in his obituaries after 114 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.759 he passed away. But this is sort of interesting lore 115 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.839 about him anyway, that he was a stutterer and very 116 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.040 shy about his stutter when he was a child and 117 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.000 had to really overcome that in his voice. His beautiful 118 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.360 voice ended up being his signature, and it's a pretty 119 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:49.279 amazing thing. But it's the slowness, the deliberateness of that voice. 120 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.800 I fell in love with him as an actor. The 121 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.800 big screen did him the most justice in The. 122 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.319 Great White Hope, sure, yep. 123 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:07.560 And Jane Alexander is his co star, and the whole 124 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.959 history of knowing about Jack Johnson, there was just something 125 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.879 that captivated me and obviously a lot of other filmgoers. 126 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.839 But he just nineteen sixty nine, that goes way. 127 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.879 Back, yep. And he brought such dignity to. 128 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.079 That role exactly well that you know you said it, 129 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:31.079 I mean, that is a great word to use in 130 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.120 describing James ol Jones. He just had a certain kind 131 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:39.200 of substantive dignity no matter you know, the classics saying 132 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.200 he could read the phone book and make it sound 133 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.879 like Shakespeare. He just had a certain kind of bearing 134 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.720 and it was all channeled really through the voice and 135 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:53.279 his carriage, that quiet, quiet dignity and power and strength 136 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.000 that he conveyed. So yeah, perfect perfect role for him 137 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.120 and really made his mark. 138 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.879 Let me take a break.

But I didn't 162 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.720 like I don't know. I still think that the Cloudskinskiver 163 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.240 and Hurtzug version from forty years ago is to be Oh. 164 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.559 Yeah, no, I'm going way back. If you've ever seen 165 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.440 the silent version, oh. 166 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.480 Sure, yeah, yeah yeah. But I'm not I'm not a 167 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.519 super just kind of a blond spot for you kind of. 168 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.320 I never I'm not a supercent of silent film. So 169 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.000 I don't know why very few, just a Phantom and 170 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.720 a couple other ones. But I just I liked it. 171 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.679 I just love the way the Aggers recreates the era 172 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.639 that he's just an expert at that when he does 173 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.559 his film. All of these films are set in the past. 174 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:06.679 I and beautiful costumes and good cast and everything, and 175 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.320 I like the other snow, I always like when they 176 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.399 add snowed to movies for no particular reason, but it 177 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:12.320 added something to it. 178 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:17.039 Oh yeah, I have not seen h for us. It's 179 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.159 on my list to see what. I will tell you 180 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:25.519 that critics are loving this film. It's getting fabulous reviews. 181 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.960 It's got an amazing cast. Willem Dafoe, builds stars, guard 182 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:39.600 Lily Rose, depth and fabulous, fabulous cast, extremely well made apparently, 183 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.279 and looks really scary. I don't watch a lot of really, 184 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.639 you know, sort of horror movies, but I do like 185 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.960 gothic horror movies. I mean, I'm a big Dracula fan, 186 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.559 and I do like anything set in Transylvania. 187 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:55.600 I didn't a sort of. 188 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.200 Like the vampire the vampire genre. 189 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.360 Don't give me too much. I didn't like the way 190 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.279 they redesigned thout. Do you like to say that? I 191 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.679 just I don't like the way they redesigned because look 192 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.000 and everything right. Did you ever see the film Crimson Peak, 193 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.039 Del Toro's film from about ten years ago? Because I 194 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.559 just love that film anyway. That's a very gothic film 195 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.279 that the girl Gilma to Tour made about ten years ago. 196 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.200 No, I have not seen it. 197 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.039 Oh, Tom Hit'llston, Miawasakowska, and I can't remember who the 198 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.720 third one was Jessica Testing. Yeah. Anyway, Otherwise, I think 199 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.080 it's been a pretty week year for movies. I have 200 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.440 to admit, I don't know why I haven't seen that much. 201 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.720 I really loved, I wanted, I really wanted to love. 202 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.679 The new See a complete Unknown to Dylan biopic. 203 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.399 One of the few who isn't Are you. 204 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.159 A Timothy Shalla may fan? 205 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.879 I haven't liked much he was. I guess maybe calling 206 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.120 he's got your name, maybe me. 207 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:53.080 Buy your name pretty pretty much put him on the map, 208 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.799 and he this is maybe the best thing he's ever done. 209 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.360 So I would really recommend this. I would also predict 210 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.000 he's gonna walk away with at least an Oscar nomination 211 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:08.519 for his role here. Like Dylan, it's pretty remarkable. 212 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.600 What he does didn't get wide released. But somebody I 213 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.039 really love named you know, here's sarmonin and she just. 214 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.000 The Outrun and also the Glits. 215 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.440 Yeah yeah, and Outrun was very good. It had some problems. Again, 216 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.799 and you know, I've seen so many movies it's hard 217 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.559 for me not to be hypercritical about things. 218 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.960 But she's pretty extraordinary. No matter what she does, and 219 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.679 she was great in both of those. But my favorite 220 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.600 film that she's ever done to date Brooklyn. Do you 221 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:37.519 remember Brooklyn? 222 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:38.480 I've never seen it. 223 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.960 Oh my gosh, that's a film I could watch over 224 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.399 and over again. In fact, it was just on a 225 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.000 couple of weeks ago, and my husband feels the same way. 226 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.480 We can start that movie at any point and just 227 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.279 can't tear ourselves away from it. It's touching, it's funny, 228 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.120 it's about a it's about an Irish immigrant girl who 229 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.159 comes over and tries to start a new life in Brooklyn. 230 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.519 It's all of her experiences here and a relationship that 231 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.039 she forms and her connection with the old country and 232 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:15.120 with her her new group of friends that she's making 233 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.919 in the United States. But her performance is just so moving. 234 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.320 Oh sorry, But the outrun is he sees a girl 235 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.440 from the far north of Scotland, the Orkney Islands. I've 236 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.159 actually been, and and then she goes to London for 237 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.000 time and gets some kind of into bad shaps and 238 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.360 she's an alcoholic and and I thought there. She filmed 239 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.720 it in the Orkneys, most of it, and it was 240 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.720 so beautiful. So she did beautiful. But the stuff in 241 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.879 London just rank phony to me. It just seems funny. 242 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.399 I just wanted to get back to the island. And yeah, 243 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.879 did you ever see films? Did it years ago? Called 244 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.240 several years ago called Ammonite with Kate Winslet, because it's 245 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.360 exactly brilliant I did. 246 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.320 She was extraordinary in that, as was Winslet. And I'm 247 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.759 not necessarily a Kate Winslet fan, but yeah, that was 248 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.000 a terrific film. I love that. Well, So you see 249 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.000 a lot of movies, did you see? 250 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:04.559 I don't see a lot of the mainstream stuff, to 251 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:05.600 be honest, But then I. 252 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.399 Did you see Emilia Perez? 253 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.720 No, I'm looking forward to that hasn't coming here yet. 254 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:10.200 Is that out? 255 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.919 Is that phenomena? It's on it's streaming and I don't 256 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.279 know which platform it's actually streaming, and it is. It's 257 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.679 like four movies in one. It's Selina Gomez, Zoey Sell, 258 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:29.440 Dona Carla Sophia Guescon, a very well known Mexican actress 259 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.960 Adriana Pauz, and this ensemble cast won the Best Actress 260 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.919 award at the con Film Festival this past year. 261 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.639 Get up here because I don't use computers, but I'm 262 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.320 also wanting to Well, you've. 263 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.200 Got it and it's a nominated for the Pomp Dworm, 264 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.279 But you've got to see that if there's any way 265 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.919 you can see that movie. And it's a musical on 266 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.879 top of being a thriller, and it's about domestic violence, 267 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.120 and it's also about social justice, and it's about identity 268 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.879 and and it's a musical. 269 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.519 That's get together. We start rabbiting over running over each 270 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.039 other for that film. But yeah, so I want to 271 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.759 see The Room next Door to with To Swinton and 272 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.279 Julianne Moore, you know right. Yeah, it is an Alma 273 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.639 Dovar film, you know right, So I'm coming out very 274 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.240 soon too. So maybe have you seen that one yet? 275 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.360 No? 276 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.600 It's okay, no, not yet, but I have seen a Noora. 277 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.080 Have you seen Anora? 278 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.080 I partner loves the Noura, But I know, sorry, I 279 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.039 just I didn't like the characters. I just thought, you know, 280 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.480 oh really, oh my. 281 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.279 Gosh, Okay, well it's really I mean that Mikey Madison 282 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:35.240 is extraordinary. She plays a Brooklyn sex worker who marries 283 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:39.320 the son of a Russian oligarch and the family finds 284 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.639 out descends on the couple to have the marriage at all, 285 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.240 and it's like one big, long frantic chase scene in 286 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.240 a way. But it's also it's a pretty satiric commentary 287 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.600 on the transactional nature of the culture these days and 288 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.799 how it is very corrosive to your to your soul, 289 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.920 if you will, honey, and poignant and really wild and amazing. 290 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.920 So I would recommend that film. 291 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:09.759 I didn't want to hear. 292 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.640 I let you go, and thank you for covering a 293 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.319 lot with Joyce. 294 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.119 Thank you, Thank you for calling.

What's your opinion of Nicky Glazer. 300 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.960 I have no idea who she is, what she does. 301 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.240 Apparently she's a comedian and maybe she's been on television. 302 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.920 I have no idea. And of course she makes fun 303 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.559 of the fact that nobody knows who she is, so 304 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.160 therefore she's free to say anything she wants. Hey, she 305 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.079 may be terrific, who knows. I always go in open 306 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.839 to these things.

I don't 317 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.440 know who her agent happens to be, but they're earning 318 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.039 their living. 319 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.440 You're not kidding.

I missed the platform, which 351 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.680 really just doesn't even exist anymore for arts and entertainment coverage. 352 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.920 But I do not miss those hair raising deadlines, which 353 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.960 were crazy. I would be in the theater as late 354 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.000 it is ten fifteen or ten thirty and then have 355 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.000 to race back to the station to be on at 356 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:10.319 eleven twenty four every single night, weekday night, and it 357 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.240 was really scary. In that time. I'd have to write 358 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.839 and edit and get on my lipstick and run down 359 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.400 the hall and sit in that seat and hope that 360 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.519 Bob Lobell left me enough time at the end of 361 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.079 sports to get out my two minutes about whatever I'd 362 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.400 just seen hot off the presses and had it been 363 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:31.200 able to digest. So it was really intense and I 364 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.319 do not miss that did that for almost thirty years. 365 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.799 It was a long time, and now I take my time. 366 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.599 I have time to actually think about things, and I 367 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:43.559 have a longer, longer platform on which to express myself. 368 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.039 That would be Joyce's Choices dot Com, my website. So 369 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.319 sign up. I still review movies in theater and whenever 370 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.079 I post, it'll pop into your email if you sign 371 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.160 up for my site. 372 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.880 So there you go. 373 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.720 And I've got a silly question. I remember the PA 374 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.400 I remember the promo you did where you must have 375 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:12.319 put on a dozen or two dozen hats, right to 376 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.160 indicate all the aspects of your. 377 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:20.279 Job as exactly. I'll never forget. It's the site of 378 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:24.680 the spot when something like I have more in my 379 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:30.440 mind than just movies. There's theater and dance and music 380 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:35.200 and the visual arts and museums and all kinds of stuff. 381 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.880 So that was the idea, is that we reported on 382 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.680 all of the arts. And before that, no one had 383 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.119 ever done that in a regular way every single night 384 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.559 as part of a news team. So instead of just 385 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.920 being news, sports and weather, it was news, sports, weather, 386 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:55.039 and arts and entertainment. And believe it or not, we 387 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.039 paved the way for that, and soon everybody in Boston 388 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.160 had an arts and entertainment report, and that became a 389 00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:05.960 very very popular beat, and it was so unusual that 390 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.799 The New York Times wrote an editorial on our entire 391 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:13.680 public service campaign, you got to Have Arts, which was 392 00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.279 really amazing and did an awful one, I think for 393 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.480 the arts community in Boston, And I mean, it's a 394 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:21.759 culture rich city, so why wouldn't we have that as 395 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.720 a regular beat. But as soon as TV started to 396 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.240 fall apart, they got rid of what they thought were 397 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.240 you know, the frills are the things that weren't necessary, 398 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.920 and the arts are always the first to go, and 399 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:39.039 they went not. I mean, we have world class everything 400 00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:44.720 in Boston, music, theater, dance, museums, movies being made in 401 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.359
