Interview w/ Leigh Ann of Hustlers 2 Housewives

 Today's guest is Leigh Ann Steele, the host of Hustlers 2 Housewives. A great podcast that talks to many great guests from the adult entertainment buisness. It was a huge honor having her on despite The Vern's obviously lame attempt to get himself invited to a swingers party.

I know What You Need (2023) Written Review

 

I Know What You Need

Cast: Caroline Renee, William Champion, Giovanna Drummond

Writers: Stephen King (Story) Julia Marchese(Screenplay)

Director: Julia Marchese

***** out of Five Stars

When Elizabeth Rogen (Caroline Renee) first met Edward Jackson Hamner jr (William Champion).  She though he was a little off.  Showing up to the library in mismatched socks and offering her ice cream was not anything she was expecting, but it was a nice gesture.  What really drew her to him was that he seemed to know the struggles she was facing in a certain class and was able to easily solve them.  After a bad tragedy where Elizabeth lost her boyfriend in a car accident.  Edward magically shows up to help her with her grief and the two eventually start dating.  Everything about him seems sweet and romantic to her, The only person who has distrust about Edward is Elizabeth's roommate Alice McGee (Giovanna Drummond).  Is she just jealous or is there something hidden about this guy we don't know.

Smile 2 (2024) Written Review

 

Smile 2

Cast: Naomi Scott, Dylan Geula, Rosemarie DeWitt

Writer and Director: Parker Finn

*** out of 5 *'s

 

After a famous pop singer (Naomi Scott) witnesses her drug dealer commit suicide involving a really heavy weight.  Skye Riley starts to see things that she can’t explain or may not even be there at all in this sequel to the quote unquote hit movie Smile.  Titled cleverly Smile 2.  Not Smile Again,or Smile Too.  Keep on Smiling  would have worked fine, but no just Smile 2. 

Joker:Folie a Duex(2024) will be hated today but appeciated years later.

 

When Todd Phillips released Joker back in 2019, it was a very different sort of film.  Now Batman’s most famous arch nemesis has gone from very goofy and campy when Ceasar Romero played him in the 60’s television series to the dark, unhinged performance Heath Ledger gave in the Dark Knight.  Each actor from Jack Nicholson to Mark Hamill have their own take on this iconic character and how you feel about each performance is really up to you.  Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal was something different than the others because this time.  The story would be focused solely on him and it became an alternate origin story and a somewhat character study on mental illness.  Taking inspiration from Martin Scorsese classics like Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy.  Joker was met with a lot of  praise from critics and audiences and even won Phoenix an Oscar for best actor.

If you are expecting this to be a critique about this supposed last feature from director, Francis Ford Coppola.  I apologize but this is not that sort of essay. Like many film fans , I too was a little surprised that the famous director of movies like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now spent over $120 Million Dollars of his own money on this project, only to have it gross just under $5 Million.  Many asking why, especially since this sort of thing occurred back in the early 80’s when he spent big loads of money to make his musical One from the Heart.  Only to be in such debt afterwards he had to direct movies like Jack and Bram Stoker’s Dracula to recoup the lost.
