Joseph Wallenstein, The Godfather, and American Hot Wax

TVC 704.1: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with award-winning producer, director, and author Joseph Wallenstein (Knots Landing, Hotel, Seventh Heaven, Flynn vs. Miranda, Nothing Dies for Film), longtime director of physical production for the USC School of Cinematic Arts and the host of the new podcast Whatcha Know Joe? Topics this segment include Joe's experience working with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins in American Hot Wax; working with Alex Karras, Garo Yepremian, Mike Lucci, and other NFL players in Paper Lion; and how Joe singlehandedly "nearly ruined" The Godfather (according to director Francis Ford Coppola). Whatcha Know Joe? is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else you find podcasts.
