John Barbour, Neil Simon, and Deep Throat
Manage episode 416731143 series 2785639
TVC 646.5: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with five-time Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and cultural critic John Barbour (Real People) and Carol Hoenig, the collaborator on John’s memoir, Your Mother’s Not a Virgin. Carol’s latest book, The Greatest Reviews I’ve Ever Read, is a collection of some of John’s many film reviews for Los Angeles magazine and KNBC-TV Los Angeles from the 1970s that also includes an ongoing, My Dinner with Andre-like conversation between John and Carol about how movies continue to shape and influence our culture. Topics this segment include why most movie adaptations of stage musicals do not succeed at the box office; how Neil Simon became one of John’s staunchest allies, even after John had panned the movie version of The Sunshine Boys; and why Deep Throat was the most difficult movie that John ever had to review.
