I had a lot of fun talking to Caroline and Jacquie of Family Matters radio about the Oscars and other movie topics. You can hear the interview here and here.

Update for anyone who wants to see my testimony: On the CSPAN website look for the Waxman hearing on CEO compensation and click on Panel 1. I’m about halfway through. My presentation is under five minutes but I also got most of the questions that follow. Here is my favorite of the news stories about the hearing (quote from me at the end). And here is the clip from CNBC and some commentary from me on the “Audit Trail” blog.
Now — back to movies!

When I’m not being The Movie Mom, I speak out often on corporate abuses. Tomorrow, I will testify about the CEOs who made millions while their companies, investors, and customers were losing millions on subprime mortgages before the U.S. Congress Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. I am also scheduled to appear on “Good Morning America,” the NBC nightly news, and CNBC to talk about the hearing.

Scott Farrell of Chivalry Today interviewed me about the portrayal of chivalry in movies, and the podcast is available on the website (you can skip the intro and start about halfway through). We talked about some of the Hollywood greats, like The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ivanhoe and some recent knight-related stories for kids like “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.” And we talked about how movies about knights and chivalry can give families a chance to talk about the way the ideals of that era continue to inspire us.
