We hope you are hungry this week because Dean and Phil are serving up Detroit-style pizza, Japanese-Italian fusion, and red, white and blue margaritas! They discuss their 4th of July activities, celebrity sightings of a Supreme Court Justice and a former President of the U.S., modern and contemporary and text-based art, and a classical music “Live Event of the Week”. In “Celebrity Deaths”, one of the greatest screenwriters of all time and a beloved musician-turned-comic actor-turned artist both get remembered. A television show set in Tokyo and another set in Detroit both get discussed. Then Dean reviews the latest movie featuring everyone’s favorite Detroit cop, the brand new Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Phil previews three very cool sounding movies that debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May. All in all it is a delicious and nutritious feast for the senses (at least your hearing) and for your funny bone!

One of the things Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness mean when they call it YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour is that they enjoy discussing the things you want them to talk about! This week’s show is a perfect example, as they share four messages they have received from listeners like you (yes, YOU!) on topics ranging from influential comedians, to a famous London cat, to a music show on Sky TV! They will also follow up on last week’s discussion about the greatest year for movies by discussing the greatest Canadian films of all time! Of course, you can come for the comedy, the camaraderie and the classic cinema, but you’ll stay for the “Celebrity Deaths”. This week, a country rock legend, and one of the greatest all-time film composers get remembered, and a member of the Chillpak family who died way too young will get celebrated as well. All that, plus Dean’s trip to D.C., thoughts on the USA’s relationship with death, and the comedy audio pilot “SleeveTalkers” (which you can enjoy at https://succotash.libsyn.com/succotash-shut-in-epi209-special-presentation-sleevetalkers-pilot) get discussed.
