Chillpak Hollywood Hour #644 - Live Shows, Celebrity Deaths, Failure, The Emmys

Chillpak Hollywood Hour

Phil was out late imbibing. Dean has been battling a bad late summer cold. Yet, somehow, they both come out guns blazing! This week's show begins with several "Live Events of the Week", ranging from immersive theatre to a Halloween X-Files improv show, from Leif Erikson Day to the first mixed cocktail! Then, it's time for "Celebrity Deaths" wherein legendary journalists Cokie Roberts and Sander Vanocur, and performers Suzanne Whang, Aron Eisenberg and Sid Haig are remembered. From there, it's on to the silver screen, where one of the all-time greats gets discussed in relationship to how we consume movies now, and a legendary "failure" gets re-appraised. In fact, the importance of "failuring" (Dean's term) gets championed! Finally, the Emmy Awards were this weekend, and your friends in podcasting discuss "Fleabag", Kirsten Dunst, "On Becoming a God in Central Florida", and season 2 of "Big Little Lies" and the behind-the-scenes chicanery that may have been responsible for the season's lack of focus.
