This week the director of Clueless & Fast Times at Ridgemont High comes to class to regale us with her incredible stories of how Clueless got made and how a woman in 1982 was able to direct a motion picture; AND, how the book club I joined and left pulled a "Blue Man Group" on me (you'll get it); also, scathing articles on my favorite restaurant, Jimbo's and our favorite TV Show, Big John, Little John. Oh, and of course -- a new restaurant issue. HELLO!! I would say all in all - THIS is the podcast that describes everything about Juskow in the City.

The Carlyle hotel in New York City is a fancy hotel alright -- they have the fruit flavored tootsie rolls at the front desk and let me tell you something -- that's usually only Halloween candy - so that's real class. Also, this week, since I've become a professor, I've started giving notes on friends Stand-Up specials - even when they don't ask. Cause that's hilarious. My nephew tries to pull an AI scam on his paper; I go to the campus diner - which by the way is open till 1am. Manhattan, take a memo; and the awful steak dinner in Jersey.

As no one in this great nation of ours has the GUTS to release it, I had to take matters into my own hands to see the new Woody Allen movie. Also this week, the continuing pain in the ass literally and figuratively that comes from getting into a car accident that is not your fault; all the women of a certain age that asked me to dance on, ironically, Lincoln's birthday. 😜

Yes, this week I went to see the Broadway musical, Days of Wine & Roses, which leads to the question, why make a musical on Days of Wine & Roses. BUT, I do enjoy complaining so - I like to see everything and it's hard for anything to live up to Back to the Future at this point so. . . Also, this week - a funeral for one of the comedy club owners in town; a classic Russian meal at an authentic Russian restaurant with a run in with the late Brenda Vaccaro (she's not actually dead, who knew?); and another dinner with Dave Attell. Fortunately, we're good until August now. 😅

I got into a fun car accident this week with a crazy guy who didn't want to exchange insurance or involve the police. He said he could fix my car and to prove it he showed me his Home Depot card. WTF!!! Anyway, more on that later -- also the unbelievable Weehawken show at the Elks club and the Weehawken Rockin' Ferry Terminal - again, WTF!!! And, the big Paul Loren show at the restaurant where my guests got into a lovely Israel/Hamas fight. WTF!!! Why didn't I call this podcast, WTF!?

On today's episode - I have a run in with an escaped mental patient on the loose and lose a pair of pants along the way. All in the same week? What a show! Also, how many questions can you answer on my first quiz of the year AND "Hot Dog, the Movie" from 1984 -- should be the worst movie ever made but in a first viewing the cinematography is incredible. What the. . . .

On today's episode of Juskow in the City, we head down to West 11th Street in the Greenwich Village twice this week for a restaurant that has been there since 1919 and I've never been to or heard of and yet I was there twice in five days. One of them was to celebrate the G.O.A.T.'s birthday, Dave Attell. Some annoying lady just sat down with us for the entire meal as Attell barraged her with insults she didn't seem to understand, which made the evening a legendary night. Also, first day of the new semester with lots more kids; my new thing of yelling at construction workers, that I feel seem suspicious when I've been drinking and discovering a new way to wear boats (lady's listen up) - you're welcome in advance. 😄

There's nothing worse than horrible stand up comedy (ooops, I forgot about improv) -- well anyway, must we sit through the worst people in stand up to support a friend? That's what happened this week. Also, everyone's favorite, another waiter incident, in which this time instead of bringing back the billfold with change, they told us they ran out of change. WHAT!? And, on the way home from New Jersey run into a Palestinian protest. These people just don't take into consideration the little people who have just come back from an all you can eat rib joint. Oy.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to an all new year of Juskow in the City and quality podcasting. You're welcome in advance. On this episode we discuss New Year's Eve, of course, at the Comedy Cellar; comedian Rachel Feinstein's Netflix taping; my 70's tap dance teacher's passing; how eating too much at the movies led to a tummy ache like a 6 year old and dinner at the Mayor's house. We also discuss the movies: Wonka, Saturn 3, The Rewrite, The Family Plan and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It's great to be back!

Happy New Year everyone. On this "interim" Juskow in the City we take a look back at 80's syndicated television where every single writer and producer was high as a kite. Clearly. I'll be teaching this this semester at the university so here's a little preview. 😀
