The Juice with Jeff #161

On this episode of the podcast, Julia Franklin conducts and co-produces a fantastic interview with me in person. This is Julia's second time on the show.

 

Julia and I had a two-way conversation on several topics. First, Julia talked about a recent trip she took to Greece. Then Julia asks me to talk about my interest and somewhat intense passion on classic and vintage films. I talked with Julia about how:

 

1. Between January 1st and July 4th, 2023 I watched all of the TV shows/movies in my DVD collection in alphabetical order from A to Z

2. About how between the 1910's thru 1970's quite a few films would open in a select number of theaters as a "Roadshow Theatrical Release" (going to the movie would be a special event with things like special souvenir programs, tickets would be purchased in advance with a specific seat reserved, overtures and intermissions in the film, and sometimes longer versions of that film than what many of us saw).

3. How the first original cuts of some films were originally much lengthier in time but then when they were released to the majority of movie theaters nationwide, the length of the films was reduced quite a bit in the name of movie theaters being able to show the film more times a day and for the movie companies to make more profits.

 

4. I shared with Julia the history behind how The Blues Brothers came to be both as the musical group and the 1980 film itself, along with a bunch of trivia tidbits about the film.

 

Julia shared her thoughts on the things that I said. And we also talked about how we can find art in everyday life, including the specific examples I give of the art I found in the cliffs and structures at Ledges State Park when I went there recently.

 

This episode of the show was produced and recorded on Sunday July 16, 2023 and it runs about 55 minutes. We recorded our podcast at a photography studio and small group event venue that a very good friend of mine owns called The Studio in Windsor Heights. As is the case with all of "The Juice with Jeff" podcasts, funding for this podcast is provided by Realty With Ahart and RandomKid. Enjoy!!
