I stumbled across the 'Pop Culture Happy Hour' podcast when doing a search on Apple Podcasts for podcasts featuring

'The Queens Gambit' for my last post -

The Grand Cosmic Chess Board?
And I was listening to a 'Pop Culture Happy Hour' podcast this morning where they were reminiscing about the movie that recently turned 20, 'Almost Famous' starring Kate Hudson, while I was seeing all of the negative press coverage around the new 'Music' movie starring Kate:-)

Almost Famous (2000)

I must admit that I had zero interest in seeing Sia's new 'Music' movie, but now I'm going buy a ticket and see it on the big screen if I can, because I believe an actor should be able to portray any person they want to play, male/female, black/white/Asian ... whatever, Gay/Straight, abled/disabled, and let their acting speak for itself.

Isn't that the whole idea of acting anyway?

Critics and all the bullshit they sling at movies, good or bad, always amuses me:-)

To Be or Not To Be ... Happy? :-)/:-(

Insensitive art to their alcoholic listeners, maybe?-)

Cheers:-)
