  • Hollywood and Wine Episode One

    I’m changing things up here at Hollywood and Wine! One thing is changing, this podcast is no longer a work of fiction. Each week, I’m going to deep dive into some of my favorite works of mid-twentieth century popular culture, present related news stories, talk about the personalities we all know and love, and above all bask in the joy of living the vintage life. There might even be a glass of wine involved. 

    This Week: 

    Birthdays this week in history. 

    Kim reviews ‘Bombshells and Dollies’ 

    Kim begins a deep dive into the 1965 military comedy ‘F-Troop’.
