BTL Radio Show - 11/25/2024 with special guest KHEMUNI "MUNI" NORODOM and my exclusive interview with VICKY JENSON

It's Musical Monday today as we look at two fun new musicals - SPELLBOUND and 1660 VINE.  Yes, musicals!  Plus, a mini-review on the amazing BONHOEFFER: PASTOR. SPY. ASSASSIN, and my thoughts on GLADIATOR II.

First, listen to my exclusive interview with director VICKY JENSON talking about the new animated musical from Netflix - SPELLBOUND.  Beautiful animation, thoughtful and entertaining story, fun fun characters, creative and imaginative from beginning to end, and filled with music from the legendary Alan Menken, this is a film - and an interview - not to be missed. 

And at the show's midpoint is actor, musician, and Prince of the Cambodian Royal Family, KHEMUNI “MUNI” NORODOM, who joins me live discussing his new film (and incredible breakout performance) - 1660 VINE.  Now streaming on Prime, 1660 VINE is a Broadway-style high-octane energy musical with terrific cinematic elements thanks to director Patricia McGregor and unforgettable songs and performances.  Muni is the fish-out-of-water protagonist with dreams of stardom, Danny, who moves from North Carolina to Hollywood and takes up residence at 1660 Vine along with other dreamers, Vloggers, and influencers seeking social media stardom.  Talk about a fun and joy-filled conversation!  Muni is a delight and his passion for his crafts, music/acting/musical theatre, is undeniable.  A wonderful and insightful conversation as Muni talks about his background and the importance of education and training, making the leap into music and acting, the support of his family, the casting experience, insights he discovered about the production process once shooting starts, working with an ensemble, being choreographed by Paula Abdul, dividing time between music and acting, his creative process and collaborations, and so much more.  MUNI NORODOM is one person you want to put on your radar now!  (You can check out his music on Spotify and 1660 VINE on Prime Video.)
