Wow, had no idea this existed. A 1948 radio show about A Streetcar Named Desire winning the Drama Critics Circle Award featuring scenes performed by the original Broadway cast including Jessica Tandy as Blanche. Tantalizing and invaluable glimpse at how she played it.

Overheard my art director wife on a work meeting say "Are there any new concepts?" and I was like, yeah, are there any new concepts, man?

Richard Foreman, 1937-2025. Working with him was a life changer. Goodnight, ornery prince.

Had a dream last night where I interacted with both Parker Posey and Joan Blondell, extremely on brand.

That underlooked gem CUTTER'S WAY (Ivan Passer, '81) is back on Criterion Channel. One of the BEST of the '60s-generation-taking-stock-of-themselves-in-the-post-Nam-era genre. Brilliant performances including Jeff Bridges suggesting a yuppified version of the Dude before he went to seed. A must see!
