Show Notes
Dennis welcomes to his Noho condo his long-lost friend, singer-performer Jennifer Cihi who is visiting L.A. from Nashville. She talks about the gig she did in the early 1990's--the Japanese anime series Sailor Moon--that has led her to have a whole new career as a guest at anime conventions, the emotional connection she shares with Sailor Moon fans, bringing awareness to mental health issues through her work, how her relationship to singing has evolved over the years, doing Annie at 12, living in Nashville, losing her confidence and getting it back and how she never gets tired of "trotting it out." Other topics include: the Jen & Den cabaret show they did in the early 90's, theĀ Titanic parody Dennis wrote and Jennifer sang at an Oscar party in the late 1990s, the job interview she showed up for drunk, writing a fan letter and sending Throat Coat to Cynthia Erivo, the time Enzo saved the day, and Jennifer's most glamorous night, her Spark and Sparkle crafts line...which happens to be Dennis's most glamorous night, too.
