I had the honor, once again to sit and talk with film historian and ex New York Post Film critic Lou Lumenick about the film MISSION TO MOSCOW. I gave Lou his choice on what he wanted to talk about and he chose this film. I had never heard of it. Its got to be seen to be believed. FDR asked personally for Warner Brothers to make the book into a film to help the war effort.It was one a the first of a few propaganda films put out to sweeten Russias image to the American people. It was directed by Michael Curtiz fresh off his stint of director of Casablanca. The movie was based on a memoir by former Ambassador to Russia Joseph E Davies.You will meet him because he is on smack dab on the screen talking about the movie before the film starts. He was upset they cast Walter Huston because he did not look like him. Guess he had to show us just how much better looking he was. HA! You will get a neck ache from shaking your head as you watch this film. the Ambassador upon hearing that the Russians were spying on them through listening devices just fluffs it off and says "Let them listen. We have nothing to hide." !!!!!! I have to watch it again because the first time it was like a daze, a bunch of Huhhhhss..See Stalin as warm and fuzzy as a cuddly stuffed bear. Hear FDR do his best imitation of God talking to Moses in The Ten Commandments. Learn Cavier and champagne is for everybody!! There really is so much to talk about with this film. I will link you to two articles Lou wrote on this film. I'm so glad he turned me onto it. We end our chat with a few classic Hollywood tidbits. I had a great time with Lou. He will be on again soon to discuss screwball comedies. YAY!!!
Thanks so much to Lou for being such a fabulous guest.
Thanks to you, the listeners. Lots of great classic movie talk on the calendar.

It was nice having honorary broad and my big sister on the show. Its the only time I get to talk to her.. We talked how great after the horror of another school shooting we see teens becoming activists. They are the future. Got get 'em guys! We talked less serious subjects like Jennifer Anistons breakup with her allegedly notorious cheating husband Justin Theroux. How immediately after, people are clamoring for her and Brad Pitt to hook up, forgetting JA was public humiliated by Brad when he fell in love with Angelina Jolie. Would you want him?? Forget being stepmom to his brood you'd have Angelina Jolie in your life. Not fun. We Also took an underwear test. Can a quiz on your style of undies predict what kind of person you are.. Plus lots more.. Sit back, grab a cup of Joe or a glass of wine (maybe both) and enjoy.
Thanks Anniebaby for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us. Its always a pleasure.
Mostly thanks to our audience. Thanks so much for listening.

We talked to Jenn Hand about food obsession. We spend countless moments thinking about what we ate, what we shouldn't eat or I can't believe I ate that. We give too much time to food think. Take the I can't away and eat sensibly, don't deny yourself a piece of cake or pizza. Diets don't work. We are all different, our thoughts, our beliefs and our bodies. It's time to say no to body hate. Truly, toss the scale. It is liberating. We talk about getting on the scale every time we put food in our mouth. That little object and the number on it has ruined so many peoples days. Jen talks about sensible ways of eating. Depriving ourselves a particular food only makes you want it more. Jenn was so great and smart and funny. We loved her. It truly was like we were sitting around sipping wine. You may hear a very attractive drilling sound in the background. They are working on my building and were right outside my window. Its the kind of sound that could make you go insane...I'm half way there anyway. So please forgive the noise.
Thanks so much to Jenn for being fun and smart and open.
Mostly thanks to our listeners. Keep hanging in..

I talked to Jessica Rains, she is the daughter of one my fave actors Claude Rains. She was a joy. We talked about being the daughter of an actor/farmer. How Claude brought his wife and baby Jessica to the set to ease Bette Davis's ardor. We talked her interesting run in with Joan Crawford at Christinas Birthday Party. Jessica never went back! She told us about her farmer dad, her two stepmoms, how her dad felt about her going into acting. One of the funniest stories is Jessica going to a website devoted to her father with people talking about having sex with him. It grossed her out. Who could blame her. We hear about her trips to Morocco and Key West for the annual Humphrey Bogart fest hosted by his son Steven. Much fun was had by all. Ironically I had just watched a movie on youtube before Jessica came on, not knowing she was in the film. Its called Scream Pretty Peggy. Bette Davis was in the film but they never saw each other. I highly recommend it. Its a hoot!! Check to Jessicas eyeballing scene right in the beginning of the film. She's the office worker helping the college kids with getting jobs. Its an Emmy performance! We chatted for an hour and I had a fabulous time. Jessica is a doll. You'll love her too.

Jessica comes on at the 3:52 mark. Very cute..
I want to thank Jessica for coming on. She is really a wonderful woman. I had a lot of fun. I'm having a rolly made for her for best eye rolls in a seventies television movie!! Bravo Jessica!!
Thanks mostly to the listeners. I have some good shows coming up..

We talked to Laurie about her taking her husband back after his having an affair. Also trying to save your marriage if possible. Why YOU can't change your husband so you have to change you...which seems to say the cheating was your fault. What you should do to keep your partner happy. Do you ever get over the cheat? Is monogamy doable since we are living longer? Why the other woman/man should not get the total blame, they did not make the commitment to wife and family, the cheater did. Sexless marriages and what would be the thing that would make you give up on marriage. We also talked about putting your marriage first. Interesting show. Fun too. So grab your coffee or a glass of wine. What would you do to save your marriage??
Thanks so much to Laurie for being our guest and being so honest
Mostly thanks to our listeners. You are the best!!

When I first talked to Alexis Hunter I could not place who Joi Lansing was..Then I went to IMDB and was AH HAA!!! She was in movies and lots of TV. I personally remember her in Marriage Go Round starring Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I also remembered seeing her on The Beverly Hillbillies playing Gladys Platt. She did so much more. She was a gorgeous blonde bombshell. Alex wrote her book Joi Lansing...A Body To Die For..A Love Story. What a book. I highly recommend it. Its about the last three years of Jois life. Alex and Joi were inseparable. It has laughs, great stories, Jois despair at growing older and getting no more parts and ultimately tragedy as Joi lost her life at age 43 of cancer. Alex was with her through it all. Because being in a lesbian relationship would have been a career ender for Joi, they called Alex Rachel and she was introduced as Jois kid sister. You can buy the book at amazon.com. Just check out her reviews. ALL FIVE STARS. We also talked how it should be a movie and who Alex thought should play them. Alex is a fantastic woman and I now proudly call her my friend. This is a really good interview. Alex was honest and very warm and funny.
I want to thank Alex for being on my show and being my friend.
Mostly thanks to the listeners. There are so many great shows I have lined up.

We welcome our favorite Southern Belle Dr Kristie Overstreet back for the FOURTH time..WOOOT WOOOT. Other then our Anne (our other honorary broad) thats a record. We talk sex, mostly fantasies and fetishes. Why so many people have trouble vocalizing their sexual fantasies to their partner. Can you act out your fantasies with your partner after being together a while, or does the morning breath, smelly feet and other familiarities make you not want to. We talk about porn and wonder does watching porn so much, as the say about marijuana, make you go to the harder stuff for example; do threesomes become a yawn and you need wilder porn to get the job done. Can anyone really know why some people fantasize about eating people or torture?? Dr Kristie answers these questions and more. We yak and laugh. We all had fun talking these things and mucho more. Grab a cup of java or vino and enjoy!
Major thanks to Kristie for being such a great guest and always making us laugh with a "Hey Yah'll" . We love her.
Most of all thanks to our listeners. You are the best

We talked to Dr. Scott Kolbaba about his book Physicians Untold Stories. He and other Doctors tell about strange things they've witnessed. Near Death Experiences, intuition about a patient out of the blue. A dream saving a Doctors life, or was it a dream?? He also talks miraculous recoveries. My personal favorite was the chapter A Christmas story. Loved it!! We were so happy to hear that someone bought the option for Scotts book to perhaps becoming a series on major network. Scott talks in a soothingly Dr manner. He really was great. Do you believe in Miracles???
Special thanks to Dr Scott Balbaba for doing our show. He is now working on a book about some strange occurrences that happened to nurses. They are in the trenches. Right Missy Mawgado?? Fingers crossed for Scott to get the TV series.
Mostly thanks to our audience. Who loves ya baby?? We do!!!

You can find Scotts book on Amazon. It is a best seller!! Also info on the book here.

Author John O'Dowd and I discussed his book on Barbara Payton. What a sad tale. He talked from her childhood, to almost stardom and her tragic last years as a prostitute on Skid Row. We talked about her love/lust triangle with Franchot Tone and Tom Neal. John had the cooperation of Barbara's family, her sister in law that just died last week and Barbaras son John Lee Payton. J.L.P wrote the foreword for the book. My heart broke for him. What a childhood he had. He holds no bitterness towards his mom and remembers many of the good times he had with her. He also had some horrible times as well. Her life was not pretty and she brought it all on herself but you can't help feeling something after you read this book. Its not candy coated.You may feel loathing, anger and hopefully sad for this tragic soul. She had it all and threw it all away. If you haven't read the book I highly recommend it.
Thanks so much to John O'Dowd. My fingers are crossed that this time a movie will be made about Barbara. HBO should snap it up. It should be three parter as 90 minutes or two hours is not enough to do her story justice.
Thanks to the listeners. I'm hoping I'm getting some new ones. There are lots of great guests and topics ahead.

As a PS
John wanted me to correct that when the family moved to Odessa Texas John said they bought a trailor court rather then a mobile court.
