With the passing of Ray Liotta in 2022, I’ve gotten the chances to see of the legacy he left behind. I went into this film knowing if I didn’t like it, at least I got to see another Ray Liotta movie. This is a sci-fi gem that got buried in the 90s and now’s the chance to show this futuristic sci-fi Shawshank tale. How did this film work and what was the unfortunate irony that ties this film together?

This episode is all about the jazz to talk about the funny hunny all the way to the cell block tango to see how we both reached for the gun to razzle dazzle em’. Today on The Screen Queen, we’re diving into the first musical that divided a lot of people if musicals were a free Oscar card. Mmm…yes and no, there is a lot to discuss the history behind the music, who would have been in the movie, and a special exclusive from one of my books that references my favorite musical. Put your dancing shoes on and put your best foot forward for the musical that ever fails to bring all that jazz. 

Part 1: Was Chicago a hit or miss?

Part 2: Musicals: Movies vs. Theaters

Part 3: Who was almost in Chicago? (My bad Imeant to say about Renee Zellwinger’s part that she hadn’t done any singing training prior to acting)

Part 4: The music of Chicago

Part 5: The references within Chicago (ALSO, I was right there was a sitcom back in 1928 called Amos N’ Andy!)

Part 6:  Is Chicago based on a true story? 

Names I botched: Beulah Sheriff-Annan & Belva Gaertner

Part 7: Book exclusive! The three references I made to Chicago in my book Inglorious Ink : American Dream Scheme – Part 3 

Part 8: What’s the next episode?

Talking about anime live actions is like the same energy of talking about politics…until Alita Battle Angel came along and changed the way people thought about anime live action movies. But this movie was a hit…why does it feel like a miss? It had an all star cast, amazing graphics, and two well known directors that pushed this story more than the others did. What made this film so amazing and what caused its downfall from Zalem, your about to find out in this week’s episode of The Screen Queen. 

Part 1: One year anniversary

Part 2: The history of the live action anime movies

Part 3: What is Alita Battle Angel? (Also I meant motion capture with CGI, WHOOPS!)

Part 6: The men responsible for Alita Battle Angel

Where would we be if we didn’t have Die Hard? We wouldn’t have Bruce Willis or the future action films of John McTeiernan. But this film was seen as a wild card to play for Fox Studios. There is a lot of history to this film that was originally supposed to be a sequel before it became a stand-alone film. Get that fire hose tied tight around your waist as we jump into the blockbuster hit of 1988. 

Part 1: Intro to the adventure

Part 2: How did Die Hard become a stand alone movie? (AKA Nothing Lives Forever)

Part 3: Who was going to be John McClane?

Part 4: How did audiences react to Die Hard?

Part 5: The set for Die Hard

Part 6: The JUMP scene

Part 7: Alan Rickman 

Part 8: How I started watching Die Hard

Part 9: Final thoughts

Part 10: What’s the next episode??

The Birdcage was more than just a remake of a classic, it became a solidified part of the 90s with the themes it tackled. How did everything turn out for the film almost thirty years later, what almost happened to Nathan Lane during the production of the movie? Who was considered gay during the film? And who had to wear a sound blanket because of laughing too hard?

Part 2: What’s The Birdcage?

Part 3 Robin Williams

Part 4: Nathan Lane

Part 5: Hank Azaria

Part 6: An unexpected future reference

Cartoon Network had already shown us a superhero fighting evil by moonlight and a character trying to find the dragonballs, but no one was ready for a character run over by car to come back to life as a spirit detective to work with his rival and two demons. Who knew this was the wild card for Cartoon Network. This is my favorite anime of all time and I’ve followed this series from bizarre timeslots to finding out there was more to the series than I knew. There is a lot of history to cover that I’ve been a witness to and I’ve been looking forward to sharing it! 

Part 1: Intro

Part 2: What is Yu Yu Hakusho

Part 3: How I got into Yu Yu Hakusho

The quest to watch it

The birthday DVD set

Part 4: The Maturity of Yu Yu Hakusho 

Part 5: The Censorship 

Part 6: The Third Arc

Part 7: The Villains

Part 8: Yusuke’s Mother

Part 13: Final Thoughts!

Part 14: What’s the next episode?

27 years ago, our favorite actions heroes of the 90s went into a different kind of action…The drag queen scene. This movie was a bit of an oddball choice to see a drag queen movie to be presented in the 90s when Drag Queens and LGBTQ culture was being normalized in the media. You’ll get to hear about the surprise cameos in the film, a history of drag, and a piece of the movie that you won’t believe got auctioned.

ALSO fun fact, this movie came out the year I was born! So I guess two good things happened that year 

Part 1: Fabulous Introduction

Part 2: Drag History Beginnings 

Part 3: The Casting

Part 4: The Cameos

Part 5: Drag(ing) On

Part 6: The legacy after the movie

Part 7: Auction?

Part 8: A few of my favorite scenes

Part 9: Closing points

Part 10: What’s the next episode?
