Babs and Sly: A Streisand & Stallone Podcast

Kirk Vichengrad and Matt Chernov

Cinéma & Séries

Fréquence : 1 épisode/71j. Total Éps: 7

At first glance, Barbra Streisand and Sylvester Stallone would seem to have nothing in common. Yet these two scrappy New Yorkers actually paved similar paths to superstardom, and their filmographies share a surprising number of common themes.

In each episode of this podcast, theatre professor Kirk Vichengrad and entertainment journalist Matt Chernov referee an epic matchup between a movie from each star’s canon. Join them as they explore the cinematic imprint and social impact of the Greatest Star and the Italian Stallion. With each Main Event, the Cliffhanger may not be who goes Over the Top, but how we remember The Way We Were.

A STAR IS BORN vs. RHINESTONE: That’s Showbiz, Kid!

Épisode 7

dimanche 22 février 2026 • Durée 01:05:59

Cinema often relies on tropes to tell a story. The familiar rags-to-riches, Pygmalion, fish-out-of-water motifs all surface in the two films theatre professor Kirk Vichengrad and entertainment journalist Matthew Chernov explore in this episode: Barbra Streisand's 1976 hit A Star Is Born and Sylvester Stallone's 1984 flop Rhinestone. With music woven into their narratives, both movies try to convince audiences that supernova stars like Streisand and Stallone can dim their shine and quiet their egos to make their transformations believable. Essential to these classic teacher-student showbiz tales is strong chemistry between co-stars as they attempt to create beautiful music together. Discover whether these two icons find harmony… or hit a few sour notes.

Listen all the way to the very end of the episode for a surprise celebrity interview!

NUTS vs. COP LAND: Oscar, Can You Hear Me?

Épisode 6

dimanche 7 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:14:31

Every actor yearns to stretch, proving their range of capabilities with each role. For superstars like Barbra Streisand and Sylvester Stallone, that desire also means transcending the "persona" that made them stars in the first place. In this episode, our silver screen icons trade the big studio picture for something resembling the emerging independent film scene that exploded in the late 80s - auteur character studies, artistically told with limited budgets but bountiful grit. For many, these films provide an opportunity for a new cinematic voice to be heard; for established performers like Streisand and Stallone it's a shot at reinvention, culminating in that ultimate sign of approval: an Academy Award.

Join theatre professor Kirk Vichengrad and entertainment journalist Matthew Chernov on a fascinating and unexpected exploration of the atypical performances by our legends in their respective Oscar-bait films, "Nuts" and "Cop Land."

THE PRINCE OF TIDES vs. FIRST BLOOD: A Novel Adaptation

Épisode 5

mardi 29 avril 2025 • Durée 01:12:23

Despite the old adage that "the book is always better than the movie," our hosts Kirk Vichengrad, a theatre professor, and Matthew Chernov, an entertainment journalist, argue that a successful adaptation should capture the essence of its source material while standing on its own as an achievement in a different medium. In this episode, they explore the film adaptations of the best-selling novels The Prince of Tides and First Blood, both of which earned critical and commercial success — and the enthusiastic approval of their authors, Pat Conroy and David Morrell. Through a deep dive into Barbra Streisand's 1991 directorial triumph and Sylvester Stallone's 1982 launch of the blockbuster Rambo franchise, the conversation uncovers surprising common themes and compelling insights into "the memories that haunt us and the truth that sets us free."

YENTL vs. STAYING ALIVE: What I Really Want To Do Is Direct

Épisode 4

lundi 17 mars 2025 • Durée 01:17:35

For Barbra Streisand, it was the resilient culmination of a 15-year passion project. For Sylvester Stallone, it was the formidable task of following up an all-time movie classic. In 1983, they tackled those challenges from the director’s chair, bringing two very different films with music to life. By exploring the harmonies and histories of Yentl and Staying Alive, theater professor Kirk Vichengrad and entertainment journalist Matthew Chernov duet on which superstar really sang and which hit a few too many sour notes.

Listen all the way to the very end of the episode for a fun coda to the conversation!

WHAT’S UP, DOC? vs. OSCAR: May The Farce Be With You

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

dimanche 22 décembre 2024 • Durée 01:01:24

The elements of farce – that classic comedic genre defined by physical humor and mistaken identities – connect this episode’s battle between Barbra’s What’s Up, Doc? and Sly’s Oscar. Though comedy is especially subjective, our hosts Kirk and Matt appear to be in agreement over the winner of this contest…. and by much more than a hare!
