Moon Zappa

Book Vs. Movie: Valley GirlsThe Frank &amp; Moon Zappa Song Vs. the 1983 Classic FilmWe know that Frank Zappa did not authorize using the song Valley Girl (co-written with his 14-year-old daughter Moon Unit in 1982.) But we had to cover this movie because if there was ever a song that influenced the culture of the early 80s --this was it.Moon Zappa is the oldest child of the late Frank Zappa, and after spending most of her childhood waiting for her dad to make time for her, she reached out to him with his favorite love language--snarky lyrics. Using expressions from her peers in the San Fernando Valley--the Zappas created a song that lampoons the white bread, snotty culture of “Vals.” The fact it became a hit song (and Frank’s only Top 40 single) shocked everyone involved. The producers of the 1983 film tried to get Frank to sign the rights but only with the overall approval of the script and music. The film, directed by Martha Coolidge and starring Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman, became a classic teen film that must have stung Frank, who sued the producers as Valley 9000 and lost. So what are the main differences between the song and the film? Which version did the Margos like better? Have a listen and find out!This episode is sponsored by Baker Publishing Group, With Every Memory by author Janine Rosche:"At its heart, With Every Memory is the story of what happens when an already-broken family loses the one person holding them together. Lori Mendenhall returns home to a family she barely recognizes after the same car accident that killed her son stole the last eight years of memories from her. Lori’s once-loving husband is a stoic workaholic with questionable intentions, and her teenage daughter has been chewed up and spit out by the world following the loss of her twin brother. As Lori’s good and bad memories resurface, she must decide whether the family she’s returned to is beyond hope.

CinemAddicts 147: Martha Coolidge (I'll Find You) John Andreas Andersen (The Burning Sea), Fresh, Lucy and Desi

From Mitch's Notebook:  "I have an archivist’s passion for things past and largely for aesthetic rather than political or sociological reasons - and the fact that it is aesthetic makes all the difference. I suspect that my psychological state is really about the same as the Thora Birch character’s response to the old artifacts she discovers from her friendship with the Steve Buscemi/Seymour character in the wonderful film version of Ghost World. She instantly falls in love with the objective beauty of the old blues vinyl record as well as animations and illustrations from the thirties to which she is exposed. Her curiosity and openness is essentially the aesthetic capacity of the human being and it is not coincidental that her character is someone in her late teens. The film Ghost World is discussing the first time you experience a work of art as much as it is discussing first friendships and loves. (The main reason I am taking this time to emphasize it in this context). There is a special understanding that you can have for something by it being completely new to you while you are also aware that what happens to be new to you in particular is in actuality old to many more other people and and is not tied to your actual lived experience. This is how I suspect historians and anthropologists must feel towards some things, as well as art preservationists. Conversely, there is a way to know something by virtue of having directly experienced it that is superior in ways to not having experienced it. But my main point is that you need both, contrary kinds of responses and reasons in your interaction with the culture. You need both the observer distance and participant closeness, not necessarily at the same time or for same things of course, but in the fullness of lived experience over a lifespan.  Thus when Laurie Jill Strickland gave me this wonderful present of the original artwork for the poster of Martha Coolidge’s Valley Girl a powerfully similar state as in Proust’s Madeline took hold of me - because the dress the illustration depicts being worn by Deborah Foreman was identical to the one worn by a girl I had loved in my teenage years. I always have reservations about discussing the subjects of both love and sex, not out of any coyness on my part: to put it bluntly I am about as opposite a prude as you can imagine a human can be. I am not much less reserved when it comes to the subject of my personal life in general.  You could chalk it up to my Libran sense of diplomacy. Or you could say it is my (inordinate) need to be loved, much like the part of me who plays piano. It is also most curious, even ironic, that something so universal as love can also be so controversial. Then again, universal things involve the most people which increases the chance of disagreement. I am anxious about all of these things. And yet….On the other hand, here we are in February and both love and sex are inevitably on everybody’s mind at this time. As well as movies of course, surely one of the most romantic of art forms. What I am really saying is that this movie Valley Girl is a beautiful and fun movie; it is as much entertaining as it is edifying in about equal measure.

Martha Coolidge's “Valley Girl”: A Valentine’s Day special film exploration of all things love, sex, romance and the nature of, true love.

Alicia Fletcher

We’re, like, freaking out because Hollywood Suite archival producer and film programmer Alicia Fletcher is with us this week to talk about Martha Coolidge and her bitchin’ 1983 flick VALLEY GIRL! Listen in as we flip right out over this California-set riff on Romeo and Juliet, including its seriously cute cast (Deborah Foreman + Nic Cage 4 ever!), rad soundtrack (we melt for “I Melt with You”!), and totally tubular costumes. Why is this literally perfect movie not talked about as much as John Hughes’s entire (and, honestly, grody on reflection) filmography? The patriarchy can “Fuck off, fer sure! Like, totally!” We Really Like Her! is produced by Danita Steinberg and Emily Gagne, edited by Danita Steinberg, with a theme song by Emily Milling.

We’re, like, freaking out because Hollywood Suite archival producer and film programmer Alicia Fletcher is with us this week to talk about Martha Coolidge and her bitchin’ 1983 flick VALLEY GIRL! Listen in as we flip right out over this California-set riff on Romeo and Juliet, including its seriously cute cast (Deborah Foreman + Nic Cage 4 ever!), rad soundtrack (we melt for “I Melt with You”!), and totally tubular costumes. Why is this literally perfect movie not talked about as much as John Hughes’s entire (and, honestly, grody on reflection) filmography? The patriarchy can “Fuck off, fer sure! Like, totally!” We Really Like Her! is produced by Danita Steinberg and Emily Gagne, edited by Danita Steinberg, with a theme song by Emily Milling.

Martha Coolidge & 'Valley Girl' (with Alicia Fletcher)

In a spectacular new episode, director Martha Coolidge (Real Genius, Valley Girl, Rambling Rose) joins April to discuss Howard Hawks' The Big Sleep. The two of them dissect the film: the amazing script by Leigh Brackett and William Faulkner, the electric chemistry between Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, and the masterful directing of Howard Hawks. Plus Martha relays some truly remarkable stories from her celebrated career, including the time the producers on one of her movies secretly cast a prostitute in her film. She also talks about discovering Nicolas Cage for Valley Girl, her work as the DGA president, and screening a film for Princess Diana. This episode is a wild one.
