Illuminated Chronicles: Tribeca Talks: Directors Series – J.J. Abrams with Chris Rock

Illuminated Chronicles: Tribeca Talks: Directors Series – J.J. Abrams with Chris Rock

Girth Radio Presents…

I’m a Chris Rock fan…that is when it comes to comedy. His interview skills always leave the viewer wanting. Remember The Chris Rock Show…which wrapped in 2000. (Man time is flying faster than Superman saving Lois!).

And as for J.J. I’ve issues with him. I refer to his Star Trek as Star Wrecked because it was silly and guilty of being unnecessary. Super 8 doesn’t even come up in this talk and the first Cloverfield was an utter piece of crap. So no love lost between me and J.J. So Be It.

Girth Radio Presents…

I know…it’s a bit weird to check out The History of Comedy on CNN. And no there’s no Trump involved…as funny as that is. This original CNN mini-series exploring the history of comedy and what makes our funny bones sing  premieres on Thursday, February 9, at 10 p.m. EST on…well CNN. Cue James Earl Jones.

Trailer Alert: Beware the Slenderman

Trailer Alert: Beware the Slenderman

Sammy Younan

Girth Radio Presents…

Fake news is not an issue.

National Enquirer has been around since 1926 serving its loyal readership stories on Elvis sightings, earth’s women serving as Eves by having alien babies, dating impending apocalypses and as times and tastes evolved standard celebrity scandals. All useful for prompting X-Files plot points; not overly impactful in real life.
