Holy Week in Hollywood: The Venice Pulse Easter Special

In this special Easter episode, Sandy, Chuck & Jim discuss a bizarre mix of topics, with their usual dose of wit and curiosity that you won’t find anywhere else. They dive into the origins of Easter, Mary Magdalene’s true role in Christianity and the current political upheaval both in the USA (Trump and Amendment 25) and right here in L.A. (with many stores closing due to high rents). The trio then go on to discuss the drama behind the iconic Star Trek interracial kiss, before sharing funny anecdotes about Hollywood legends like Jay Leno, Alec Baldwin and Sally Field. Sandy then explains how she missed a chance to audition for Love Boat. The episode then finishes with the curious tale of the Venice Beach grunion run, mention of Weezer’s surprise pop-up gig at Hinano, and Jim coming out as a furry!
