The Giles Files

"Mikey" is a black republican! A horror novelist! An almost-"woke" dad! All sides of the actor Michael Boatman, still fighting "The Good Fight." on CBS All Access. Man, he's got stories for days! And Malibu may be the most famous beach in southern California, but the Malibu Diner in Hoboken, NJ has its own treasure. Plus: a musical tribute to someone we've got issues with. It's a feast for the ears and another boffo "Giles Files!" See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

These two pros work their craft - from travels with candidate Barack Obama to Madonna's recent "Madam X" tour. Oh, snap!

Plus another installment of "Know Your Damn History"
