See Hear Podcast Episode 19 - All That Jazz
It’s SHOWTIME, folks!!!
See Hear is back for another episode of music related film
discussion, and do we have a really big shoooo for you.
Unfortunately, our beloved Bernie Sticky was not available
to record, but joining Wendi, Tim and Maurice is the co host of Gilbert
Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, Mr Frank Santopadre. Frank is a fountain
of knowledge, an encyclopedia of cinema if you will.
For episode 19, we all discuss Bob Fosse’s incredible
autobiographical 1979 film, All That Jazz. The film features Roy Scheider in a
career best performance (go on – argue against that notion if you can) as
Fosse’s proxy, Joe Gideon. Joe is a Broadway director and choreographer, and a
film director. He is all consumingly devoted to his art, but is a poor husband,
father, and companion. He’s not a great male figure, yet he’s not shown as a
shallow character without dimension. We have a fascinating conversation about
devotion to art over devotion to domesticity, manipulation, how the
entertainment business spits out its own, death, the truth, and the Mile High
Club.
We start off the show talking with Frank about his work on
Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast. It’s a fascinating story about a
show devoted to preserving unique stories of old time Hollywood. Their show is
funny and reverent all at once with regular stories about Danny Kaye, Laurence
Olivier, Groucho Marx, Milton Berle and Bela Lugosi. You NEED Gilbert and Frank
in your life.

even better, spread the word that the show exists so more folks can tune in.
