BONUS EPISODE: Top Five "Oscars Overdue"
The Top Five Podcast
Welcome to Oscar Week!!! While Annie and Kris have been pretty busy with regular daily life, we did not want Oscar Week to come and go with no special bonus episode. We're not doing a full week of episodes like last year, but we do have a fun one for you today. If you're like us, you always have those one or two or five "special nominees" that you've liked and respected for YEARS and it makes you NUTS that these folks have yet to be truly recognized by The Academy. That's where we're going for this Bonus Episode: sharing our Top Five Motion Picture professionals (not...

The Professionals Series: Our Top Five Favorite Confidence Persons
The Top Five Podcast
WHOA!!! Here's our 75th episode, not including bonus episodes! I can't believe it - well, yeah, I can, whatever. This week we're keeping The Professionals Series going with our favorite Grifters - Con Men/Con Women, etc. This started out being a very easy list for me, but then again I was trying not to be overly obvious. I did trump my sister on a couple of movies, though - one of which I could have sworn we'd watched together, but I'll be quite excited to watch them with her when I visit in April. If you've tried to send us an email in the past few weeks, you probably...

The Professionals Series: Our Top Five Favorite Movie COPS
The Top Five Podcast
I don't know about y'all, but I could talk about movie cops in a dozen different ways - and I think even Annie would say the same. You often get cops in buddy movies - like Riggs and Murtaugh, Tango and Cash, etc. And then you have the franchise people - for which we do have something to say in this episode. And we haven't even talked about TV cops yet at all. I am trying my darndest not to break Annie's rule after our first episode on teachers. Hope you enjoy this episode. We still have a ton of professions to get through! For example: Con Artists Retail...

Okay, raise your hand if this is your favorite series so far? It might be mine, I haven't decided yet. But we sure are having a lot of fun. This week, for The Professionals Series, we are talking about our favorite characters who are playing Actors. That's right - actors playing actors, who knew? Talking about these characters was great fun for us. While he didn't make the list, I continue to think about Leonardo DiCaprio's performace in a little Woody Allen movie called CELEBRITY, from 1998. This was, of course, coming off of Leo's huge...

The Professionals Series: Our Top Five Favorite Movie Teachers
The Top Five Podcast
In this episode of the 'top five' podcast, my sister Annie and I launched a new series where we explore portrayals of different careers in movies. We opted to start with Teaching, with this episode making me reflect back on our "Top Five Movies About College" episode. Despite veering off the beaten path, we discuss both movies and characterizations that we think reflect disparate elements of the education system and the teaching profession as a whole. It was a unique discussion as Annie and I approached this series concept differently but it gave us context for the series, which I do...

The Top Five Podcast
Happy New Year, Top Five Fans! And major apologies for taking almost a month off and not telling y'all about it. Between Annie and me, we just needed to take a Tech Time Out. But we are BACK and super duper excited for 2024!! Today's episode is highlighting characters from the incredible film career of one Gary Oldman - Oscar-winning Chameleon Actor who is all things sexy, hard-core, and funny...not to mention dangerous, deep, over-the-top, and a variety of other superlative adjectives. Where Gary Oldman is concerned, I always yield to my sister's knowledge of his films...
info_outlineGenX ladies, get ahold of yourselves - this week, Heather Zeitzewolfe and I are completing reminiscing from our early adolescent years of the 1970's as we fawn over our favorite teen idols who you might have seen on the cover of a Tiger Beat magazine. Or Teen Beat, or "16," or maybe even the TV guide itself! And with no internet in the 1970's (or podcasts, or E!TV for that matter), these mags were where a teen girl might go for all the latest celebrity boy gossip.
I actually had a subscription to Tiger Beat for a little while (Thanks, Grandma Agnes); and while some of our choices might not have made it to the cover of Tiger Beat, they were still, in our opinion, the cutest boys of the 1970's - with disco, classic rock, AM radio, and all of the other things.
There is also some rather fun editorial banter from my hubby, Charles, who is also a GenX child of the 70s...totally could not get him to leave the room during the recording.
Anyway - don't forget that my co-hosts and I really want to hear from you! GenX ladies - who was your favorite Tiger Beat cover boy? And what do you think of our lists? Shoot us an email at [email protected] and let us know what you think!!
