'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves', 'London Brew', A Survey of Phase 2, Susanna Hoffs
For transcripts, see individual segment pages.
"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" premiered in theaters over the weekend. Directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley join us to discuss the process of filming a movie based on the classic fantasy tabletop role-playing game. We also take your calls.
A 50th anniversary concert for Miles Davis's seminal album Bitches Brew was meant to take place in London in 2020, but the pandemic ultimately scrapped those plans. Three years later, the collective of musicians behind the cancelled concert have released the album London Brew, an improvisatory record inspired by Davis's original and recorded over three days. Saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings and producer Martin Terefe join us for a Listening Party.
A new exhibition at ACA Galleries, Phase 2 Myth Conception: A Survey 1972-2019, surveys over five decades of work from the late artist Phase 2, born Michael Lawrence Marrow. Phase 2 is widely considered to be the first artist to popularize the bubble letter styling of graffiti, or what he called "writing", on New York City subway cars in the early 1970s. He would later be a central player in the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx, and the fashion and B-Boy culture that flourished as a result. Curator Mikaela Sardo Lamarche and artist Seku Grey, Phase 2's nephew, are with us to talk about his legacy and the exhibition, which is on view until June 30.
Susanna Hoffs is back with a new album of covers, The Deep End, featuring songs from The Rolling Stones to Billie Eilish. The album drops this Friday. Tomorrow, Hoffs will also publish her debut novel, This Bird Has Flown. The book follows a recently single one-hit-wonder who gets another chance at stardom and another chance at love. Hoffs joins us to discuss both projects.
Hoffs will be speaking at the Strand tonight.
