Brand new inventions, an exchange of letters, and improv talk.
In this ep, we have a lovely talk with three of Ray’s teammates from his PIT house team Navy Blue Seals: Dawn Harris, Ariella Knight, and Christine Piñeiro. We actually recorded this backstage at the PIT, so you can hear lots of fun background noise, too. If you’re into that sorta thing. Which I don’t know why you would be.
Ray also shares two groundbreaking new invention ideas, and he and I exchange a series of letters, which I think you’ll find very moving.

On the most recent ep of The Lance and Ray Show podcast, we talk with actor and vocal percussionist extraordinaire Chris “Shockwave” Sullivan about the origin of his name, his philosophy on beatboxing, and his thoughts on competition.

How much did I love Before Midnight? So much that when Fandango...
How much did I love Before Midnight? So much that when Fandango emailed to ask for a review, I actually felt inspired to write one:
Before Midnight is the third entry in what may very well be my favorite movie trilogy of all time. You don’t need to see Before Sunrise and Before Sunset first, but seeing them does make this film a richer viewing experience, one that really examines the nature of human beings and time. This is such an honest, unflinching look at love and relationships, so brilliantly written and structured, with performances so effortlessly real, you almost forget they’re acting. Funny, sad, beautiful, and moving, it does what the best art should do: it shows us to ourselves and lets us draw whatever conclusions we want.

The Lance and Ray Show | Two guys. One podcast.
My podcast with Ray Munoz, one of the funniest humans there ever was, has been going strong since January. Each episode has some chatting, a comedy bit, an interview with a special guest, a song, and inspirational words, always under 20 minutes. Listen while you do dishes! On the subway! In your car! While you sleep!
Rhinebeck Writers Retreat to Welcome Duncan Sheik, Joe Iconis, Kait Kerrigan, Stew and More - Playbill.com
So me, Joe Iconis, and Jason “SweetTooth” Williams are headed to Rhinebeck for a week to do more work on our musical Annie Golden: Bounty Hunter, Yo! It’s the story of a musical theater legend named Annie Golden (to be portrayed by musical theater legend Annie Golden) who’s feeling rejected by show business and generally having a rough time of it until: a chance encounter leads her into the world of Bounty Hunting. Its book and score are very much inspired and influenced by 70’s Blaxploitation films, and I’m very excited about it.
