Tom of Finland! Suburbicon! Jayne Mansfield! The Top Ten Things That Make Us Go WOW for Radio Andy!

By Blake Jacobs on November 3, 2017 1:00 pm

WOWers, World of Wonder Co-Founder Fenton Bailey, Executive VP of Development Tom Campbell, and WOW Report Editor James St. James have collaborated with reality TV guru and friend of WOW, Andy Cohen, on a weekly Top Ten Countdown of the things from the past week that make us go…WOW!

It’s a pop-culture obsessed hour complete with colorful diatribes, opposing opinions, and a dissection-like discussion that will make your drive home from work more fabulous!

You can now WATCH us recording the WOW Report in our gallery storefront on Hollywood Boulevard, just across the street from Hollywood’s oldest restaurant Musso & Frank!

We air TODAY at 4PM EST on SiriusXM, and again at 4PM PST (that’s 7PM EST). You can also catch the show on the SiriusXM app!

Let’s get started…

10) Hot Flick: Tom of Finland 

Tom of LA recently saw the new Tom of Finland biopic about the legendary gay illustrator who gained fame drawing hunky sexy men in uniform in the 1970s. Tom of Finland is playing in select cities, so check your local listings.

9) Retro Thrills: Suburbicon 

You’d think that a movie written by the Coen Brothers, directed by George Clooney, and starring Matt Damon & Julianne Moore would be a slam dunk blockbuster, so why did James St. James have mixed feelings about Suburbicon?

8) Rolling Stone Magazine’s Jann Wenner HATES His New Biography 

Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner has tried two previous times before this to have his biography written, but both books fell through. Sticky Fingers author Joe Hagan was given full access and wouldn’t let Jann read the book until it was finished, and when he finally got to read it, HE HATED IT! Get Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner & Rolling Stone Magazine on Amazon.

7) Hot Doc: Mansfield 66/67 

The new documentary Mansfield 66/67 covers the last two years of Jayne Mansfield’s life- 1966 and 1967. It’s more about the gossip and legend of Jayne Mansfield – which is more fun anyway! Check the film’s website to see it is playing near you!

6) Netflix Pick – Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold 

James watched the new Netflix documentary on seventies literary icon Joan Didion called Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold. The film was produced and directed by Joan’s nephew Griffin Dunne who you may remember from Madonna’s Who’s That Girl.
