In the big year end finale of Juskow in the City, once again we travel to NJ to see my sister play Tree No. 1 in the worst production of the Wizard of Oz since my niece performed it in Junior High. Plus, having to drive through an unforgiving rain storm to get there.  Also, my brother-in-law makes experimental Latkes, filming a model's movie, my cleaning lady making fun of too many quizzes I'm giving my students as a professor, eating subs on the turnpike and a new gas cap.  I would say that's no way to end a season BUT, this is Juskow in the City and everything mundane is exciting in Juskow land.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE and thanks for listening!!! Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode we are reminded how Taxis in New York City need to go (but not the television series), why the CBS Network needs to go (and all their series) and how the only saving grace this week was the joy of looking at a nice clean convenience store out the window of a sad bar in New Jersey (cause they're gross in New York City).  Also, going to see Book of Mormon on Broadway again; getting into a fight with a lady with a walker working at a clothing store; a crazy ex stating she was in jail (again) AND the kid in my class who never heard of Steve Martin.  Old Man Juskow is incensed this week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Seder, The Taxi & The Convenience Store

Today being Passover Professor Juskow takes a lesson plan page out of my class and we discuss films released in 1982. Although I think I forgot 1981 hilariously (we'll get back to it) there certainly is a treasure trove to discuss. We'll discuss the hilarious Morgan Fairchild vehicle, The Seduction; the awful sequel to Grease, Grease 2 and the classics, or at least the Juskow classics, Al Pacino in Author, Author and the Mel Brooks inspired, My Favorite Year.  Fun, fun, fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Professor Juskow's 1982 in Film

This week we go down to the West Village to see David Yazbek's new musical, "Dead Outlaw", which is terrific.  We also run into my old managing partner from the firm at the play where I have become the Voldemort of the place (as in he who must not be named) - so EPIC.  Also, as I go to see my friends Julian and Paul play piano also in the West Village and Julian doesn't finish his songs - it incenses me - so obviously - that's always a good podcast.  And top it off with my lectures on the films of 1988 and 89, which include the greats, Sex, Lies & Videotape and Crimes & Misdemeanors.  Interesting -- 2 films that have ampersands in them.  That was a big thing in 1989. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dead Outlaw

That's right.  One hundred years or so ago there were riots right here in River City (downtown Manhattan) over who's theatre had the better production of Hamlet.  I only bring it up because it's my new course lecture and well -- it's incredibly hilarious and may make you feel a little better about the world today because nothing seems to change so. . . . -- Also this week, Artist Drew Friedman documentary; Gilbert Gottfried's daughter inventing the waffle sandwich; the Comedy Cellar Holiday Party (yes in April) 

The Dueling Hamlet Riots of 1849

Three Presidents past and present came into town this week and I know the first thing you thought of was "how would this affect Dave Juskow of Juskow in the City?" - and I appreciate that.  Well, it was a nightmare, as usual.  I thought they all hated New York City (except for Clinton), why do they bother me?  Anyhoo, that, our friend Marcie coming to town; the Nickelodeon documentary and that poor Drake Bell and, again, "how does this affect Dave Juskow"; comedian Todd Barry's birthday party and how "Don't You Forget About Me" came to be sung by the band "Simple Minds".  All this and more on an all new Juskow in the City. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
