Legendary casting director Joel Thurm holds absolutely nothing back as he tells us tales from his days casting some of the biggest movies and TV shows of the 70s and 80s, including “Grease,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and “Taxi.” And then we do some high-level one-on-one market research for our podcast with a “lucky” listener – it’s our “Focus Group of One.”
