Milling About

I'm joined by Kirsten Foe, the writer/director of Off The Record starring Rainey Qualley as an aspiring pop star who is love-bombed by a manipulative manager played by Ryan Hansen. It's a music business casualty we know too well, which Foe experienced first-hand as her son's father worked with Sheryl Crow. Foe, who is also an accomplished stuntwoman (The Affair, Twin Peaks, Grimm), fresh off of stunt driving with Charlie Hunnam, talks about how sharing those stories shaped the film and that we still have a long way to go before women can truly own their power in a male-dominated business.

Rob Estes joins me to talk about his role in The Italians, a wonderful feast about family. You may remember him from classic television dramas like Melrose Place and 90210. In this film, Rob shows off his comedic and physical acting chops and talks about the family dynamic on set led by director Michelle Danner, and those delicious homemade meatballs. He reflects on his own family and how important something as simple as sitting at the dinner table together for a meal can be.

Selina Ringel, the talented triple-threat writer, producer, and star of You, Me & Her joins host Robin Milling to talk about how the film was inspired by a real life Las Vegas trip with her husband, director, and business partner Dan Levy Dagerman.

In this instance what happens in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas as Ringel recounts how flirting with a threesome with another woman during their trip was the backstory for the film. Ringel shares how the incident tapped into their marriage and reflected on their own personal challenges, and hopes the film will also spark a conversation with audiences to explore their own relationship dynamic.

I so enjoyed my candid conversation with Jacqueline Bisset, who graciously took the time in the wake of the devastation in Los Angeles to speak with me about the indie film Loren & Rose.

A storied actress, and quite the classic Dame, she openly shared her thoughts on aging which to her is clearly not an issue. Moving forward, she prefers to embrace every aspect of her life with no signs of slowing down.

In 2012, Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey of Peter Paul & Mary joined host Robin Milling for a little reminiscing, a little music, and fond thoughts of their dear friend Mary Travers.

Peter and Paul serenaded Robin with songs, originally recorded for their debut album in 1961, Peter Paul and Mary, along with their classic hit Leaving On A Jet Plane.

They tell Robin where they were in the 60s, how Mary inspired the voice of a strong generation of women, and how their legacy will always live on through that wonderful music.

In a previously recorded interview, Emmy award-winning Casting Directors Brett Benner & Debby Romano of Romano/Benner Casting discussed casting Shrinking, now in it's second season on Apple TV+. From creators Jason Segel, Brett Goldstein, and Bill Lawrence, Shrinking follows a grieving therapist (Harrison Ford) who is a rule breaker and ignores all the training and ethics of his profession.

Brett and Debby tell host Robin Milling how they snagged Harrison Ford for the role of Paul, the grieving therapist, as well as Michael Urie as Brian, Luke Tennie as Sean, Christa Miller as Liz, Ted McGinley as Derek who “they tortured for years,” and the other supporting players in this wonderful comedic drama.

Clayne Crawford (The Killing of Two Lovers, Lethal Weapon, Rectify) stars in YOU & I, an intimate two-hander with writer/director Summer Shelton rekindling a love affair that is poignant and painful. Clayne joins me from his farm in Alabama where we talk about navigating steamy love scenes in the film, his journey to Hollywood and how returning to the farm fuels his passion for acting.

Raconteur rocker John Waite, currently on tour, checks in with host Robin Milling. Celebrating 40 years of making music, including his biggest hit, "Missing You," John is not only a great songwriter, but a wonderful storyteller who reminisces about poignant moments in his career. At 71, John tells Robin he has no intention of letting the years get in the way of what makes him happiest which is performing. He says, “You've got to bring it. It's an elliptical thing. You become 17 again.”

Writer Xaque (pronounced Zack) Gruber makes his directorial debut with Sallywood. He wrote the screenplay based on his own experiences as the personal assistant to eccentric award-winning actress Sally Kirkland. Xaque discusses the making of this wonderful odyssey -- an insider look into Hollywood and what the still vital Kirkland faces with getting older in a town where youth is celebrated most.

Emily Young (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) joins me to discuss her performance as Virginia.in Orlando, A New Musical at Theater Row in New York City. Emily talks about the gender-bender tale based on the 1928 novel Orlando, bringing the love story between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville to the stage infused with rock, and pop orchestrations.
