Entertainment historian and bestselling author RICK LERTZMAN ("The Life and Times of Mickey Rooney") discusses his new book, "Deconstructing the Rat Pack: Joey, the Mob, and the Summit" and joins Gilbert and Frank for a fascinating conversation about the heyday of nightclubs, the glory days of Las Vegas and the cultural impact of Frank, Dean, Sammy, Joey and Peter. Also, Uncle Miltie whips it out (again), Sammy Davis blows through a fortune, Pat McCormick tanks "The Joey Bishop Show" and Jerry Lewis runs afoul of Sam "Momo" Giancana. PLUS: Sheldon Leonard! Louis Prima inspires Ol' Blue Eyes! Don Adams "borrows" from Bob Newhart! Rick hangs with Moe Howard (and Bud Abbott)! And the unknown reason behind Dean and Jerry's split?

https://soundcloud.com/gilbertgottfried/norman-lear-encore

Gilbert and Frank celebrate the 50th anniversary of "All in the Family" with an ENCORE presentation of another classic episode, as legendary writer-producer-director NORMAN LEAR holds court on a variety of subjects, including the inscrutability of Dean Martin, the politics (and Jewishness) of Edward G. Robinson, the "inventiveness" of Mickey Rooney and the heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen. Also, Norman woos Frank Sinatra, praises John Amos, presents Jerry Lewis with a one-of-a-kind gift and remembers his dear friend Carroll O'Connor. PLUS: James Franciscus! Roscoe Lee Browne!

Little Cigars (1973)

 

Little person gangster exploitation film from AIP. I have been looking for this movie for years after seeing it a long time ago on this-TV. It finally showed up on Youtube recently and I am saving it for my birthday on Sunday with some mind-altering chemicals. Angel Tompkins, Barbara Rhoades, Todd Susman. Frank Bonner appears briefly as a bellboy in a very early role. Billy Curtis, Jerry Maren, Frank Delfino, Felix Silla. It's really sleazy. I am so excited and if it gets deleted in the next three days I am going to cry. Radio spot below.
