One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)
One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Big Business/Ghost/Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael
After sailing through '80s horror parodies and Albert Brooks's filmography, it's only right that we return to Z-A-Z territory, so this week we're tackling the first solo directorial efforts from Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker: 1988's "Big Business" and 1990's "Ghost" and "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael". You've heard of at least one of these. It's "Big Business" obviously.
It's a tale that involves sensual pottery, Lily Tomlin times two, unexpected Academy Awards, and a quirky young girl named Dinky. Really.
Join your wonky yet affable host!
