Phil is hitting the road, but before doing so, he recorded a great deal of material for the next two installments of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour! This week, he and Marc Hershon discuss the following television series: “Your Friends and Neighbors”, “The Studio”, “Alien: Earth”, “Chief of War”, “Peacemaker”, and “Code of Silence”. Dean reveals whether or not he is participating in a Winnipeg-themed art show, and talks about why any nostalgia he has for the city where he grew up is gone. Then, good pal of the show, purveyor of excellent theme songs, and frequent on-air contributor, Jon Lawlor finally weighs in on Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest answering a longtime loyal listener’s question about the movie’s use of music.

Dean and Phil have quite the array of topics to discuss, including a recent Marvel film, a Neil Simon comedy from the 1970s, all the big award-winners at the recent Cannes Film Festival, and a director’s cut of Chris Carter’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Both the Australian and the American versions of “Laid” get discussed, and art, architecture, history and more get discussed in the return of “What We Are Reading”. Two beloved television stars and a legendary comedian get remembered in “Celebrity Deaths”. Finally, good pal of the show Marc Hershon drops by to offer up two new television show recommendations that both sound awesome!
