Hello Gorgeous. We're kicking off our Barbra Streisand series (titled "Podcastl," naturally) with a look at her version of the classic Hollywood cautionary tale - 1976's A STAR IS BORN.
Podcast, can you hear me?" We certainly can, Barbra. The very menschy Jordan Hoffman joins us to chat about Streisand's official directorial debut, a marvel of a film that makes anyone describing it sound insane.
Surprise. In a first for Blank Check, we're dropping a bonus main-feed episode featuring a conversation with an Academy Award-nominated star of the film we just covered.
Our favorite Carolinian Katey Rich joins us to chat about Streisand's 1991 adaptation of Pat Conroy's bugnuts novel, a story that includes some serious ethical breaches made by alluring therapist Susan Lowenstein.
If Yentl was about connecting with her absent father, and The Prince of Tides was about forgiving her difficult mother, The Mirror Has Two Faces is just about BARBRA.
