Two Guys From Hollywood

You know Morgan Fairchild from Dallas, Flamingo Road, Friends, Roseanne and many other television shows and theater work she has appeared in for many years.  We think you probably don't know this side of Morgan - the science nerd!  

We dove into Morgan's other life and her fascination with all things science and what she describes as her moral obligation to share her knowledge, especially in the 80's when she was the first Hollywood personality to get involved with AIDS. 

She is beautiful, smart and funny - no "blond" here!

And of course, this week's "reviews" by Alan & Joey of movies, TV and bad clothes!

Meet Nathan Kessel and Anna McClelland. Talk about destiny!! Two young, attractive, bright, talented souls on separate paths in life, manage to find each-other and fall hopelessly in love after almost losing themselves! He "woke up" suddenly after 4 years to discover he remembered nothing during that time and now was 16. Started singing opera and performing for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and then the pandemic hit. She had to have brain surgery. It’s quite a story with a happy beginning! Merging their talents, goals and ambitions, they combined and parlayed their talent and became TikTok’ers, content creators and social media Influencers - a lucrative business with a combined audience of over 14 million followers! Hear their story, learn how they did it.

After a forced 3 week break, Alan explains what happened with some sad news. But that doesn't keep the duo from skewering or praising their latest media consumption.

Then things turn for the very funny when they bring Gene Simmons into the fold, which took the Two Guys by surprise. Also known as his stage persona, The Demon, he is the bassist and co-lead singer of KISS, the hard-rock band he co-founded in the early 1970's. Well known for his intelligence and bad-boy behavior, he proves himself here - wild, funny, crass and generally over the top as he opens up about the band's farewell tour, money, marriage, a few choice words about his fallen band members, and the time he spent dating Cher and Diana Ross. As you can imagine, the Two Guys loved it!

Who didn't love the iconic Joan Rives and her style of humor which dominated the airwaves for decades. With the new "cancel culture" how would Joan have navigated these waters? Luckily, Joan left an incredible ambassador behind in her daughter, Melissa, and we discuss her mom alongside her new and very funny book, LIES MY MOTHER TOLD ME.

And, as always, Joey and Alan discuss some of the things that annoy them and, as always, catch up on their entertainment intake, especially the Dahmer series since Alan represented Lionel Dahmer's book A FATHER'S STORY.

Joey celebrates the end of his cancer treatments and Alan celebrates passing his flight exam. Then they turn to director Taylor Hackford. In addition to helming the iconic feature hits, An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), Against All Odds (1984), Ray (2004), and the cult thriller The Devil's Advocate (1997), Taylor Hackford has directed the films Dolores Claiborne (1995), Everybody's All American (1988), and Proof of Life (2000). Taylor developed and produced La Bamba, the most successful Latin-themed feature film in history. Mr. Hackford has been an active member of the Directors Guild of America for over 40 years, including twice as elected President of the DGA, beginning in 2009.

They’re back! Two Guys From Hollywood returns for Season Two. Continuing with their unique brand of humor for this grab-bag pop culture podcast, the Hollywood based literary agent, Alan Nevins and his longtime friend, celebrity chef & columnist, Joey Santos, return in their second season premier. It's a shocking, no holds barred interview with Michael Fanone, the officer nearly beaten to death on January 6th at the U.S. Capital who then later testified on national television for the Senate Investigative Committee.  The two hosts have captured a side of this conservative Republican and self proclaimed redneck that has yet been seen on any of the news networks promoting Fanone's new bestselling book, HOLD THE LINE.  Often touching and passionate yet done with style, humor and respect that ultimately creates a bond between these three men which feels like you’ve dropped in on their dinner conversation.   

As in season one, we open with Joeys signature cocktail creation, and then the conversation quickly turns to opinionated observations by Fanone about how the most powerful people in government disrespected law enforcement and the hypocrisy of the members of Congress.  No one is spared here from the 24 hour news networks to “lunatic” Marjorie Taylor Greene, “Miss” Lindsey Graham and “Trump’s Bottom Bitches”.   You’ve probably not heard an interview quite like this!

We’ve reached the final episode of Season One! And to close out this spectacular season, we’ve brought in a legendary guest. His work has been widely discussed, taught, debated and examined for decades, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon. Joining the conversation this week is academy award winning writer, director and producer Oliver Stone. His movies such as Platoon, Wall Street, Natural Born Killers, JFK, Snowden - amongst many others - have changed the way we view, discuss and understand difficult topics such as war, politics, money and greed. His newly released memoir, Chasing the Light, was a huge success and on this episode he not only teases what a second book could entail, but shares rare anecdotes from set on many of his classic films, reflects on working with stars such as Tom Cruise, and talks about life as a director who follows the facts...not the fads. Tune in for an insightful and intellectual conversation about our theme this week, Art Imitating Life, and enjoy a behind the scenes look into one of the most brilliant creative minds of a generation. As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy THE SPICY GIN BLOSSOM.
