Jonathan Majors has been acting professionally for about seven years now. He’s done theater, TV, and starred in movies. In that short amount of time, he’s become one of the most captivating performers in Hollywood. On screen, Jonathan is charismatic and charming when the role calls for it, and he can turn to vulnerable and broken almost instantly. He’s the kind of actor that just takes the story to the next level. When I talked with Jonathan Majors in 2021, he was up for an Emmy for his work on HBO’s Lovecraft Country. He’s gone on to some massive films like Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and most recently, Creed III. Jonathan joined us on Bullseye to talk about Lovecraft Country, and reflected on being the child in a family of veterans. Plus, he dived into acting theory and craft – and he gets into it, really into it.

He’s since gone on to collaborate with several well-known directors including Sam Mendes, Ron Howard and the Coen Brothers.

Jason Woliner has directed episodes of Parks and Recreation, Nathan for You and The Last Man on Earth. In 2020, he directed his first ever major motion picture: Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. His latest is a documentary series, a project he’s been working on for the last ten years. Paul T Goldman is a documentary series about a man who calls himself Paul T. Goldman. Goldman claims, among many other things, that his former wife stole money from him and ran a human trafficking ring. It’s a wild, funny and at times touching show that is just as much a comment on true crime documentaries as it is a true crime documentary. We’ll talk with Jason Woliner about Paul T. Goldman, and the meta nature of the show. Plus, we’ll dive into Jason’s time directing Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, and the way things became very dangerous for him on set.

The Song That Changed My Life is a segment that gives us the chance to talk with some of our favorite artists about the music that made them who they are today. When we asked Todd Rundgren about the song that changed his life, he had a lot he could choose from. But, he eventually landed on one of the most iconic hit rock songs: “Louie, Louie,” by the Kingsmen. With this song, he brings us back to his teenage years—the time he was in a rookie band who, on occasion, might’ve needed songs they could fake their way through. Plus, he shares a great story about learning “The Chipmunk Song.” Todd’s new album is called “The Individualist, A True Star Live” and it’s available to buy or stream now.

Music legend David Crosby passed away last month after a long illness. He was 81. Crosby’s work paved the way for the folk rock movement. He was a founding member of The Byrds, and performed at Woodstock as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Crosby was also an award winning solo musician in his own right, and he’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. We’re remembering David Crosby by revisiting our 2016 interview with the late music icon. During the conversation, Crosby talked about the music he was exposed to growing up and when he first started singing. He also talked about his time with the Byrds and why he was eventually thrown out of the band. Plus, he shared his hot take on hip-hop and his thoughts about the genre.

At the close of 2022, American music lost a treasure:

Anita Pointer died at age 74. Alongside her sisters June, Bonnie, and Ruth, she was a founding member of the Pointer Sisters. In 1969, eldest sisters June and Bonnie began the first iteration of The Pointer Sisters by performing jazz and bebop at local clubs. Anita and Ruth soon joined them, and they recorded their debut album, winning a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance for the song “Fairytale” in 1975. The Pointer Sisters made it through the disco era and out to the other side because they were always chameleons. They had pop, R&B, jazz-funk, soft rock, and other hits in the seventies. Anita, Ruth, and June were already music industry veterans when they had their biggest pop hits in the mid-’80s. When MTV arrived on the scene, their popularity climbed even higher. Songs like “Automatic” and “I’m So Excited” lived on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The sisters continued to enjoy international popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s. When their beloved sister June passed in 2006, Anita and Ruth added their daughters to the group lineup in order for them to carry on the family legacy. They continued to play to packed audiences until 2016.

Anita Pointer will be sorely missed.

To mark her passing, we’re replaying our 2014 conversation with Ruth and Anita.

Hailing from Charlotte, NC, young rapper Mavi is one to watch. He created his first album, “Let the Sun Talk,” during his freshman year at Howard University. After garnering great reviews, his career started to take off. He recorded a second album, “End of the Earth,” and got invited to collaborate with artists he admired and opened for Jack Harlow on tour. And last year, he recorded a stirring third album, “Laughing So Hard It Hurts.” Mavi crams 16 songs into 32 minutes on “Laughing So Hard It Hurts.” It’s an album about pain and relationships. It’s dense, intimate and even a little lonely-sounding at times. We talked with Mavi about why he made that choice.
