Description

Roger's talked a lot about movies; what he thinks of them and what it was like being in the movie business. But here he tells us how how he fell in love with the medium in the first place. From being taken to theaters by his mother to going to Boston's famous art-houses while at Harvard. And there's a lot more including the film Disney has kept hidden, the movie Warner Bros honcho Steve always wanted to remake and the film he predicted would be a smash that an old industry hand thought would fail. And Roger tells us how he thinks we'll watch movies in the future - in theaters? streaming? Listen in.

So, who is Roger Smith? He testified at the Menendez trial. He got hit on by Grace Kelly. He worked with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Gerald Ford, George Soros and Beverly Sills. He said opera needs subtitles. And Michael Eisner was heard to say... "Who the F*&% is Roger Smith?" Roger Smith. No, not the one married to Ann Margaret and not the one Michael Moore chased from General Motors. The OTHER one. Writer, marketing whiz, editor, entrepreneur. This Roger Smith sat down with PBS film critic and NPR radio host Bill McCuddy who asks So, who the F _is_ Roger Smith? "My real goal was to have an interesting life surrounded by fascinating people," says Roger Smith. "And at that I succeeded beyond my expectations." Have a listen and we think you'll agree.
