We're back with another Black Classic! Today's episode is all about Boomerang (1992) directed by Reginald Hudlin and starring Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Robin Givens, Martin Lawrence,  David Allen Grier, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt. 

Boomerang isn't often counted in the rom-com canon but we're here to give it its due. In this ep, we talk Eddie Murphy's turn as a romantic lead, the perils of relationships in the work place, 90s misogyny as comedy, Halle Berry's iconic mushroom cut, and more!

This week's recommendations: Two Can Play That Game (2001) and Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017).

Leaving Dinosaur (Plus Lemurs) in the past where it belongs, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers head further into the Disney wilderness on a trip to Peru, with 2000’s The Emperor’s New Groove. It’s not only a film with an important role in Disniversity history (to be explained), but marked a new groove for the studio itself – plunging Disney further into irreverence, absurdity, and cartoon antics. Expect discussions of the film’s tumultuous making-of, the nightmarish experience Sting had on music duties, the film’s major Looney Tunes influence, and the legendary performances from Eartha Kite and Patrick Warburton. Plus, Ben recalls a Years 8 school memory and campaigns for Kronk to join the next season of The Bear, and Sam gets his Yzma on. We hope this one gets a big thumbs-up from Papi.

Next up: Shrek live show (then, Atlantis: The Lost Empire)

International Dj, producer and remixer Jonathan Douglas Braverman, known as Ladies On Mars, has been on a musical journey since the conception of 2006 of his successful Minimal Techno music project. The artist born in Buenos Aires has accumulated numerous achievements, although it was his 2007 hit "We Are Not Lesvicon", published on Xela Digital, which really impelled Ladies On Mars to be in the eye of the storm, reaching within the TOP 40 of Beatport's Minimal. Another of his great achievements was in 2009 when he won the Beatport contest for remixing the song "Peace" by the group Depeche Mode, his remix became the best-selling band in Beatport for several years.

Since then, the native of Argentina has continued to evolve, mutating its sound, perfecting from the Minimal Techno of its beginnings to the Tech-House, current Funky House. Remixing artists like Aka Aka and Home Video. Editing his music on labels such as Prison Entertainment, Emi Music or his own label: Boom Zwapp Records.

In addition to having an impressive subsequent catalog of solo and collaborative productions, Ladies On Mars has also offered remixes for numerous top-level musicians, including: AKA AKA, Daniele Petronelli, Min & Mal, Home Video, etc ...

Outside of the studio, Jonathan is a touring DJ who is in great demand and his daily agenda is fuller. Taking their Marsian sound and a unique mix of spatial sounds with a lot of groove mixed with Funk, House and Tech-House directly to the dance floor in some of the best clubs, festivals and events in the world in countries, including: Germany, Spain, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina.

Studio 10 is a project designed to pursue the art of recording and mixing Sound.  It's a feature rich environment with top quality instruments and recording gear. It can accommodate most any musical situation.  This non profit venture is designed around "giving back" to local artists who are moving their art from "Good to Great", and might not otherwise have full access to a recording facility.  As a result - I am able to draw on a variety of talent to collaborate on my own projects .......where one cannot escape the obvious Beatles theme.
