September 4, 2025: Lights, Camera, Congress
Description
Today, we go onscreen in Deerfield where a new exhibit looks at the way the Asparagus Valley has been captured on film and tv.
Pioneer Valley Picture Show is a wide sweeping exploration of the people, places, and screenplays that are connected to the towns and cities of the 413, from actors to costume designers, writers and directors, the Memorial Hall Museum is looking at the many ways Western Mass. appears on the big screen. We get a tour of the new exhibit from curator Ray Radigan, and along with someone who actually appears in the exhibit, director Bob Krzykowski of "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot", get a glimpse of the over 100 years of the area’s film history, and hear how you can participate yourself by completing their scavenger hunt.
And Congressman Jim McGovern is back in Chocolate City where the National Guard are still patrolling, sort of, to talk about the collective movement of Epstein survivors, the legal victories of Harvard University, our ongoing military operations which recently hit Venezuela and has its eyes domestically on NOLA and Chicago, not to mention the perpetual question of the possibility of building a bipartisan future for our quite divided nation.
