For his final episode Roger takes us all to the ultimate wrap party at his favorite haunt - Elaine's. The legendary restaurant hosted by its equally legendary namesake, Elaine Kaufman, from 1963 to 2011 and attracted luminaries such as Woody Allen, Tome Wolfe, Leonard Bernstein, Mick Jagger and many, many others. Those are just the raw facts. But Roger makes us feel like we're in the room with him amidst all the glitz, glamor and gossip of a long ago New York. It's our last ride with Roger and he makes it a memorable one.

Roger's talked a lot about movies; what he thinks of them and what it was like being in the movie business. But here he tells us how how he fell in love with the medium in the first place. From being taken to theaters by his mother to going to Boston's famous art-houses while at Harvard. And there's a lot more including the film Disney has kept hidden, the movie Warner Bros honcho Steve always wanted to remake.

As you well know by now, Roger has met some amazing people. Some famous, some not. But there is one woman who stands above the rest. You'll hear tales of Cuban exiles, dancing, operas, glamorous apartments in several countries and a lost diamond earring miraculously recovered.

In one of our most popular podcasts (season 1 episode 4) Roger told us how he came to testify at the Menendez Brothers murder trial. He had a unique perspective on one of the most famous trials on the 20th Century. Now Netflix has announced it will dramatize the events in a film produced by Ryan Murphy. Naturally we wanted to get Roger's take on all this and who he wants to play him in the movie!

Here's a quick take on a present day conundrum. Is today's "woke" culture eliminating unflattering depictions of certain cultures and groups? Is our history in danger of being erased? Roger has his own take on it all. He remembers how some very old photographs got him in a spot of trouble way back in the 1980s.

There's nothing like having to make a decision. In life and in business, making the right choice can mean everything. Here Roger tells us about some of his decisions as well as those made by savvy businessmen. But first he tells us how his own decision to impress someone by picking up the check at dinner almost went awry. You'll learn how his father decided what brand of car to buy and how someone as successful as George Soros picked what sort of businesses to invest in. There's lots to learn here, not to mention - why some Jews have Christmas trees!

Roger takes us back to the days when cable TV and stations like MTV and Nickelodeon were the cutting edge of the entertainment business. Those were the days when Roger worked with and became fast friends with legendary Warner Brothers head Steve Ross. Roger tells us how Ross was not only business savvy but generous and gracious as well. Rare traits in big corporations these days. Roger also tells us his days selling encyclopedias and how it led to a friendship with Quincy Jones.

No, Roger doesn't play the violin, but he does know a lot about the music business. Here he tells us about buying a chain of record stores back when that was how most people bought their music. It's a very colorful tale involving a mobster and such arcane terms as "rack jobbing." He also explains how something Danny DeVito said turned out to be good business advice. You'll also hear about his wise sister the talent agent and how he and his sister wound up watching Sigfried & Roy and George Burns in one night.

We're taking a break from our usual format with this episode in which Roger speaks with an old pal - John Berendt. The author of the best-selling non-fiction book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" tells Roger what it's like to deal with editors and publishers, when he knew he had a hit on his hand and what it was like to travel the country doing publicity. John Berendt also acknowledges the role luck had in his success. Roger asks him about future novels and finds out what book of Berendt's only took an hour to write. It's a fascinating discussion and you'll only hear it here.

Many of us have had at least one random encounter with a celebrity we'll remember forever, even if the celebrity won't. Roger's certainly had his share and here he tells us about two in particular. First there's the time Harrison Ford went out of his way to introduce Roger to the a capella group known as The Persuasions which then led to Roger meeting the group in New York. Then Roger tells us about the time Richard Gere needed some financial help while in Paris. We'll let Roger tell you the rest of the story.

Roger told us a few episodes ago about some of his dealings with the theater and here he goes into greater detail, starting with how he became enamored of stage productions as a boy. Both his parents were active in regional theater. He remembers when shows had out-of-town tryouts before opening on Broadway and he also remembers legends such as Elaine May, Peter Flak and even Maggie Smith perform. And as head of Warner Theater Production he got to fund shows and deal with the likes of Mike Nichols,…

If you thought that Roger had run out of stories about the celebrities he's met in the previous episode, fear not. Here he tells us about giving valuable financial advice to Candace Bergen and the time he tried to get financing for a Robert Altman movie. He also fills us in on Robert Altman's wife and the wheeling and dealing that goes on at the Cannes Film Festival. Turns out there's more going on there than red-carpets and fancy parties.

If only someone would take him up on it.

Roger takes us behind the scenes at a Hollywood poker game where he meets and strikes up a long lasting friendship with filmmaker and actor Robert Downey Sr. You may be more familiar with his son, Robert Downey Jr, star of "Iron Man" and soon to be seen in "Oppenheimer." But Robert Downey Sr. is best known for writing and directing "Putney Swope" - a satire of the New York advertising world, as well as other underground films of the 1960s. Roger remembers when Robert Downey Jr. held a party for his father's 75th birthday and Roger sat next to another director he admires - Paul Thomas Anderson. It's another fascinating look at Hollywood's movers and shakers.
