After flicking through Mackenzie Astin, Keith Coogan (yes, again), Married To The Mob, Tom Cruise, and more (Glemby) in What Now, it’s on to the reviews. How do we vibe with the star ratings given to Rick Astley, Madonna, and R.E.M. — of course — in Listen Up? What about Moonstruck and September in Watch It?
Then, once we revisit Charlie Schlatter, our very first One To Watch, it’s on to the pop culture features. Christina and an Iain Blair tag-team to profile a circa-Less Than Zero Robert Downey Jr. Then John Elder pervs all over poor Justine Bateman. Dig out your copy of Kick: we Need You (to listen to our latest podcast) Tonight.
