Special edition this week.  No - we have not done the latest movie review or Blacklist.  No - there is no recipe for you to dissect.  No - Jay still has not fixed the music import recording bug yet.

We just wanted to review and discuss the latest movie industry buzz that we get from our weekly movie biz newsletter, 'The Dailies'.  

P.S. Disney is taking over Hulu.  The Mouse is cementing his foot in history as a media dictator.  We all saw the signs.

A longer chat this time.  School of Life is a YouTube channel comprised of short, 3 to 10 minutes videos that break down the fundamental questions of being alive and how to tackle your existence:
'Passion vs Duty'
'How to Have a Transcendental Experience'
'Does Love Make You Weak'
'How to Listen to Your Body'
'Why You Are NOT a Loser'
Tons of great videos that will help enjoy and understand the process of being alive. 
P.S. The Blacklist script is 'Pizza Girl'
Finally, we dig into entertainment headlines from 'The Dailies'.

Aubrey Plaza slowly sinks in the quicksand of debt when she agrees to be a 'dumb shopper' and get involved with credit card fraud.  'Yay' on the character building talents of the modern educational system.  'Juice' from Son's of Anarchy acts as her coach on the road to criminality.  I show you how to make honey and vanilla custard.  Louisa casts a star studded 'Sharper'.

More honey recipe ideas here.

Louisa subjected me to a movie with music in it. I know gross, right? Was I pleasantly surprised.  Tune in and find out.  I teach you to develop a drinking problem with honey and Scotch (more ideas, including a cocktail here).  Then we look at a Blacklist pick from 2022 that the studios should be calling us to cast.  My rate is $10,000/hour.

Indian movie - don't even ask me how it's pronounced - Louisa couldn't even do it.  Four friends who leave their dream of film making behind for more 'conventional' roles reconvene for a trip to Goa and reconnect with their original love to create celluloid glory amidst personal struggles.

Then, I show you how to make a carrot cake that will make you forgive your parents.

P.S.  This week's Blacklist is for an upcoming script called Indigo and the casting session was a trip!

Jason Bateman leaves us stunned with his command of the English vocabulary and his willingness to upset a national spelling bee by entering as a participant and subsequently TRASHING a bunch of 10 year-olds.  This was Louisa's pick and it was a BANGER!
P.S. I have a fruit based dessert for you.
P.P.S. I know you will love it.  You can find more here.

We reviewed two episodes - Jibaro & Three Robots - Jibaro wasn't Louisa's cup of tea but she was a trooper and gave an objective analysis.  I blow your mind with a simple apple appetizer that only has 4 ingredients and one of which is the limited edition Albizia Rose Apple honey (Hawaiian single pollen). 

These were only 2 episodes of a 3 season set.  If you like animation and you have not dipped your toes in the water yet.... Get. Your. Life.  Start consuming this series at a rabid pace.  No WB rabbit or Road Runner here.  Think Black Mirror meets Heavy Metal.  Enjoy.

Ethan Hawke & Sally Hawkins tell the story of an arthritic Nova Scotia woman who, while working as a housekeeper, develops a talent for painting and slowly becomes a beloved community figure - all the while dealing with an acerbic relationship with her husband and a contemptuous brother and aunt.  

Then we show you how to do shrimp stir fry followed by this week's Blacklist - the historical retelling of the Dancing Plague of 1518 from the script 'VITUS'.

Patricia Arquette and U Aung Ko head up the cast of this 1995 release that lends a narrative to the backdrop of the 8888 Uprising in Burma (now known as Mayanmar).  Arquette's Laura Bowman visits Burma in an effort to assuage the pain of her recently murdered husband and son.  After losing her passport, she becomes entangled with a small group of peaceful students protesting for democracy led by an aged student leader.  While Burma's military junta applies pressure from all sides, Bowman witnesses the brutality as she and her cohorts attempt to flee to Thailand.

P.S. 
Take a pause at the 1 hour mark and I'll teach you how to make the best coffee cocktail you've ever experienced.  And guess what else?  We have another black list casting session for you!  Big shock!

Yes - it's a documentary.  Yes - it's about painting.  Yes - the recorder failed multiple times!  And Yes - Jay had a tantrum.  You might think that this would be a natural snooze fest but prepare to be mistaken and mesmerized.  Whoever said they have no interest in  seeing a millionaire obsess over discovering an unknown painting technique used by a 17th century Dutch master to achieve near perfect photorealistic imagery just has no imagination.  This one was Louisa's pic.
