Michael Penn is one of our collective favorites. The musician, that is, not the YouTube mathematician. You may not think you know him, but you certainly know his family; brothers Sean and Chris, TV director father Leo, actor mother Eileen, sister-in-law Robin Wright (Inconceivable!), and singer/actor wife Aimee Mann. Lots of connections. He has a handful of critically acclaimed albums and has done numerous movie soundtracks, including Boogie Nights. We go through his albums and focus on his 21989 single, "No Myth." Stunningly interesting story, we think you'll agree.
A Fish Called Wanda is a 1988 British crime comedy featuring John Cleese, Michael Palin, Kevin Kline (who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this tilm) and Jamie Lee Curtis. Extremely well-written, well-acted, and even well-paced, this classic movie deserves all of the praise it gets. If you've never seen it, you're in for a treat.
