'Beverly Johnson: IN VOGUE,' 'Poor Things,' The Milk Carton Kids (Grammy Listening Party), Britney Spears' Debut 25 Years Later (Silver Liner Notes)
Groundbreaking supermodel Beverly Johnson joins us to discuss her new one-woman show, "Beverly Johnson: IN VOGUE," which recounts her life and career and honors the 50th anniversary Johnson becoming the first Black woman to feature on the cover of American Vogue. The show is running at 59E59 theater B through February 4th.
In the new Yorgos Lanthamos film "Poor Things," Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) is the product of an experiment in which an infant brain has been placed inside an adult woman's body. As she discovers her sexuality, social expectations placed on women, and explores the world, she begins to challenge the men around her as she forms her own ideas about life. Screenwriter Tony McNamara joins us to discuss writing this unusual character, and we are also joined by Ramy Yousef, who stars in the film as Max, a gentle student who falls in love with Bella.
Folk duo The Milk Carton Kids are nominated for the Grammy for Best Folk Album for their latest LP, I Only See the Moon. Bandmates Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale join us for a Listening Party as part of our run-up to February's Grammy ceremony.
Britney Spears released her debut album ...Baby One More Time on January 12, 1999. It was one of the highest selling albums of 1999 and became one of the best selling albums by a female singer or debut artist of all time. On its 25th anniversary, we revisit the album with music journalist Annie Zaleski and New Yorker contributing writer Lauren Michele Jackson, as part of our series Silver Liner Notes.
