We shoot the shet and tackle the hot topics of the day, including John Travolta and his traveling berets at Cannes, the nature of sweetening celeb voices in musicals, and the Survivor 50 finale. Look folks, every once in a while we get deep over here on the Patreon and this was one of 'em. A simple conversation about toilet paper and bidets gives way to talk of ethical consumerism and mutual aid. Are you with us? We hope so, we love you, mean it!

It's Marsha Mason. You Might Know Her From The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two, The Middle, Grace & Frankie, Drop Dead Fred, Heartbreak Ridge, Frasier, Only When I Laugh, Cinderella Liberty, and Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows.

Marsha is a prolific stage and screen actor, a 4-time Oscar-nominee, an organic herb farmer, a race car driver, and a theatre director who gave us all the scoop on jumping in as a last-minute understudy for The Roommate starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow on Broadway. We talk about her artistic (and personal) partnership with her ex-husband Neil Simon, the original Goodbye Girl directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robert Deniro that never was (Bogart Slept Here), and what it was like seeing Kathleen Turner "play her" in her stepdaughter, Ellen Simon's film Moonlight and Valentino. All that plus, the cult status of Drop Dead Fred, her failed sitcom Sibs, and the Ethel Gumm of it all. This one was such an incredible full-circle moment for us and a great way to close out this half of the season but we'll be back real soon! Love yous, mean it.

You Might Know Her From Grey's Anatomy, Supergirl, Not Another Teen Movie, and The Way Home. Chyler Leigh gave us all the goods on her time on Grey's Anatomy: working with the late great Eric Dane, THAT musical episode, the scuttlebutt around Ellen Pompeo leaving, and shooting a cameo during COVID. We also get into Supergirl and how Alex Danvers coming out helped spark her own coming out as bisexual. All that plus, working with the time-traveling pond in Hallmark's The Way Home, accessing deep emotion at the turn of a dime, and having to jump in a hot tub with Marilyn Manson. Seriously. We were SO tickled by this interview and hope you are too.

Folks, it's a part one because we can't stop talking. We are finally digging into Liza Minnelli's autobiography Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!

There is just so much: obviously Judy Garland (and Liza's surprising frankness about their relationship), Vincente Minnelli, Lorna, Joe, Kay Thompson, Peter Allen, Peter Sellers, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz Jr., Halston, Kander and Ebb, Bob Fosse, Chita, Gwen VerDON (a little), and wow, what else? So much. And this is only like the first--halfish?

Buckle up, because we are in-real-time processing this incredible work (with the caveat that it is read by a Liza-bot). We hope you've listened and/or read and are ready to deep dive with us, too.

What did you think?

You Might Know Her From Pose, Unbreakable, Glass, Secret Invasion, Cindy, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Crucible, and the original Broadway company of Aint' Misbehavin'.

Charlayne told us all about her prolific solo work as a writer and performer and how Micki Grant inspired her to carve her own way. She also discussed the working with playwrights in rehearsal from Suzan-Lori Parks and In the Blood to Arthur Miller and The Crucible film adaptation. Charlayne also gave us the skinny on working with Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU and in the M. Night Shyamalan universe. All that, plus her work on the historic Pose, working with Nell Carter on Ain't Misbehavin', and her connection to friend of the show Sandra Caldwell.

We are so happy for our girl June Squibb (and former guest of YMKHF) and also for Hannah Cruz (an actor we have long been rooting for from her performance as Rose in her high school production of Gypsy. Yes, actually...watch.)

What have you seen? Who are YOU rooting for? What do you still want to see? And which snub hit you hardest? What role do you think Alecia Pink Moore is eyeing and will this hosting gig get her job?

You Might Know Her From Orange Is The New Black, Hair, Cheers, Desperately Seeking Susan, Baby Boom, The Pebble & The Penguin, and Broadway productions of Assassins, Violet, Leader of the Pack, and Into the Woods. We get into so much Broadway and punk rock history of New York legend, Annie Golden. From playing the "flower girl who will not wilt" in Hair, to Norma, the almost-mute, on Orange is the New Black, to singing with Darlene Love, singing AS Squeaky Fromme, and singing as a tree-mama in Into the Woods. She is a hoot and a beacon of light in these dark times. Get into it!

Keiko gave us all the scoop on playing Lane on Gilmore Girls, how she REALLY felt about where her character ended up, and if she thinks there's more story to tell in Stars Hollow. Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen. Keiko was so kind and warm and maybe made Anne and Damian think about improvisation in an ideally way? We loved it!
