Ayyyyye Darlings!
How you livin’? Over here we just came off of the mostly fun chaos of the Netflix is a Joke Festival! 10 days, and roughly a gazillion shows. Hats off to our entire team for griiiiindin’ and smilin’ and making it happen, and hats off to ALL the talent who have been boppin’ around all the many many venues in LA, showin’ their stuff. It was another reminder, in a sea of reminders, how lucky we are to be surrounded by so many artists who work so hard to bring us joy, and make us think, and also help us to get real stupid. Now that the fest is over, it’s back to our regularly scheduled fest of programming! Because... “It’s always fest-season at Dynasty!” - Siskel, 1972. “I just come for the corn. I flarpin’ HATE Siskel right now. We have our ups and downs. We have our problems. But ultimately? We have chemistry. I know how invaluable that is but that doesn’t mean it always feels good. Anyway, yeah, Dynasty is great.” - Ebert, 1972.
