Purple Rain with Joseph A. Halsey

07/03/20 • 101 min

Our guest is the very talented Joseph A Halsey. Joseph is an actor, writer, director, and filmmaker. If that’s not enough, in his spare time, Joseph fronts his band, Bigger Than Plastic.

Joseph has a documentary on the way call Common Ground. It’s about how the Trenton Police department has made real strides in changing the way they’ve been policing for years. And now instead, the police are engaging with the community in new ways.

Joe chose the 1984 classic, Purple Rain. I wasn’t allowed to watch this movie pretty much because Prince was in it. And also boobs.

Please enjoy Purple Rain with Joseph A Halsey.

She's Gotta Have It with Carol Griffin Part 2

(Part 2) Welcome to the B-side. Our guest is the delightful Carol Griffin We met Carol about a year ago and I instantly thought, “Carol Griffin is going to be one of my Top Five Favorite People.” So sorry, Brian Haley. Number six is still very good.

Carol has a bunch of projects going and they are all great. She’s got a band, The Carol Griffin Trio. She’s got a radio show, The Soul Spectrum. I even got to be in a repertory theatre show with her. Let me tell you, she can sing the pants off a song.

Carol chose the 1986 film, She’s Gotta Have It. This is Spike Lee’s first film, his first “joint” if you will.

I’m a big fan of independent film and yet, somehow, I missed it.

Buckaroo Banzai with Eden Miller

Our guest is the very lovely Eden Miller. Eden is a designer and wardrobe professional for television and film. She’s spent many years working on Broadway. She is the first plus size fashion designer to show her work at New York Fashion Week. And, she has the thighs of a leopard. We really had a great time talking and the time just flew by.

Eden chose The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Released in 1984, I believe this is our third film from 84 and the second one back to back with Purple Rain in our last show. I wasn’t really sure what to expect mainly because I thought we were watching Big Trouble in Little China. And I haven’t seen that one either.
