Jacqueline Bisset

Neil opened the Total Celebrity segment with the legendary Jacqueline Bisset to discuss The Last Film Festival, the comedy that became Dennis Hopper's final film. Jacqueline plays an Italian diva opposite Hopper as her ex-husband, who drags her along to a small-town film festival after his movie is rejected by all 4,000 festivals on the circuit. She talked about the long, hard road to release after Hopper's passing, the strong chemistry they built on set, the joy of doing broad comedy after a career largely in drama, and her view of auditioning as a two-way street where the actor is checking out the room as much as the room is checking out the actor. She just returned from the Santa Fe Film Festival and the film is now available on VOD.Neil then welcomed Academy Award-winning writer-director Robert Port (the 2003 Documentary Short Oscar for Twin Towers) and bestselling author Richard Bausch to discuss Recon, the World War II thriller adapted from Richard's 2008 novel Peace, opening in 400 theaters via Fathom Events on Veterans Day eve, November 10. Robert traced his 11-year journey to get the film made, from the New York Times review that hooked him in four lines, to the eight-year stretch of false starts and shifting attached stars, to the breakfast with friend Sheldon Turner (Up in the Air) that pushed him to fly to New York and pitch executive producer Maury Povich (whose father was a legendary WWII journalist) on financing the film. Robert also opened up about his grandfather, an Austrian Jew who escaped Vienna at 16, returned with the Continental Army, and won a Bronze Star for rescuing 100 women on a death march from a concentration camp. Powered by producer Rick Dugdale, Robert cast Alexander Ludwig, Sam Keeley, Chris Brochu, and Italian screen legend Franco Nero. The story follows four American soldiers across one long day on an Italian mountain after their sergeant murders an innocent civilian and the squad is sent on a recon-and-suicide mission led by a partisan guide of uncertain loyalty. Richard, who lives 40 minutes from Robert in Virginia, said the finished film exceeded any writer's hopes, and Knopf is reissuing Peace with a Recon sticker on the cover.Neil then welcomed Josh Dallas (Ben Stone) and Luna Blaise (Olive Stone) from NBC's Manifest to preview Season 2, premiering January 6 at 10pm Eastern on NBC, with a Season 1 marathon on Syfy on January 3. Picking up immediately from the Season 1 finale, viewers will get fast answers on the gunshot and the surprise baby, but the bigger arc is the death date discovery (June 2, 2024) the passengers of Flight 828 must outrun while two new hostile factions target them as agents of the apocalypse. Josh walked Neil through Ben's evolution into self-imposed guardian of the passengers and his Moses-style spiritual shift on the meaning of the callings, and Luna shared what it has been like to play Olive caught between her aged-out twin Cal and her father Ben as their father-daughter arc finally lands in the back half of the season.Neil closed with Dr. Gilda Carle for three back-to-back Gilda Gram simulcast segments. First, she addressed the new wave of AI- and automation-driven layoffs at Crypto.com, Block, Meta, and Atiesh, urging listeners to stop booing AI at commencement speeches and instead sharpen the human skills (empathy, leadership, emotional intelligence) that data centers cannot replicate. Second, she dove deep on what intimacy actually is, distinguishing transparent, day-in day-out partnership and the willingness to inconvenience yourself for your partner from a narrow focus on sex. Third, she repeated her takedown of the Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater breakup as a case study in why two married people working in close proximity through their divorces (they met on Wicked) often mistake intensity for compatibility.

I so enjoyed my candid conversation with Jacqueline Bisset , who graciously took the time in the wake of the devastation in Los Angeles to speak with me about the indie film Loren & Rose . A storied actress, and quite the classic Dame, she openly shared her thoughts on aging which to her is clearly not an issue. Moving forward, she prefers to embrace every aspect of her life with no signs of slowing down.

About Back to Drive 2: Back to the Drive 2 is a night full of stars, music, and celebrating LGBTQ+ equality. Proceeds from the evening support all Stonewall local and national education programs. There will be a special tribute to bars and safe spaces (Raising the Bars) that have long provided our community with refuge in trying times.
