Tonight’s Guests: Director Christina Alexandra Voros (THE MADISON) & The O.N.S. Film Club with James Branscome (Cinematic Void / American Cinematheque) and Angie Shriner (ALL THAT JAZZ)
Saturday, March 21st, 5pm - 9pm
on Bob Barth's One Night Stand (on Sheena's Jungle Room Stream)
LIVE from Los Angeles: We kick things off with director Christina Alexandra Voros joining us to discuss THE MADISON, the sweeping new Paramount+ drama from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, the series follows the Clyburn family — wealthy New Yorkers who relocate to Montana’s Madison River Valley after a devastating tragedy upends their lives. What begins as an escape quickly becomes a profound reckoning with grief, family bonds, and the search for connection against the vast, rugged backdrop of the American West. Voros directed the entire six-episode first season, bringing a cinematic eye and emotional intimacy to Sheridan’s latest expansion of the modern Western landscape. Then the O.N.S. Film Club returns with a deep dive into Bob Fosse’s electrifying masterpiece ALL THAT JAZZ (1979). Joining the conversation are James Branscome, founder and programmer of the Cinematic Void series through the American Cinematheque, and guest programmer Angie Shriner, curator of the Monday Musical March program at the Los Feliz 3 Theatre. We’ll explore Fosse’s audacious autobiographical vision, Roy Scheider’s unforgettable performance as Joe Gideon, and how this dazzling, brutally honest musical became one of the most daring films ever made about art, ambition, and mortality. All that & more! March 21st | 2pm–6pm PT / 5pm–9pm ET
