Rain, Reflections, and Riverdance

Join us this week on the Anne Levine Show as we explore tenuous ties to  a 1946 Guy Lombardo hit, weaving nostalgia (and probably imagination) into our Thanksgiving reflections. Together, we savor memories of exquisite feasts and heirloom china, while acknowledging the complex history of the holiday. Despite the rain, This Thanksgiving’s spirit shines through moments shared with friends and neighbors, even as we grapple with post-holiday maladies.

Experience the unpredictable charm of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where in days past hosts like Katie Couric and Al Roker faced high winds and wardrobe malfunctions. We share our accidental parade attendance in 2010, laughing at the logistical chaos and pondering the merits of live versus televised viewing, meaning it’s SO MUCH BETTER to see it on TV. As the parade celebrates its 101st year, we recall and truly wonder at the slip and fall Riverdance™ performance and marvel at the enduring American tradition that is the Thanksgiving Parade.

Immerse yourself in our light-hearted reviews and recommendations from the world of television and film and perhaps discover the comedic brilliance of “St. Denis” and the thrilling twists of “The Madness” on Netflix, both of which captivated our attention. We also discuss our thoughts on Saturday Night, the new film about the making of the very first episode of the famous sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. Uncanny portrayals of iconic figures like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, and Gilda Radner made it special. We wrap up with a nod back at RIverdance™ and the cinematic contributions of the late Marshall Brickman, offering a delightful AI described tapestry of entertainment for all.
