  • Episode #332: Muni Norodom TALKS ‘1660 Vine’ & Authenticity On Social Media

    Episode #332: Muni Norodom TALKS ‘1660 Vine’ & Authenticity On Social Media
    Nov 25 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome Khemuni “Muni” Norodom to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    Muni spent his childhood in his home country of Cambodia. Upon graduating from the International School of Phnom Penh, he traveled to Malaysia and Germany to study in their capital cities. It did not take long before he caught the acting bug. Following his uncle, King Sihamoni, who worked as a Cambodian cultural ambassador and a classical dance teacher in his younger days, Muni decided to pursue a career in the arts field and moved to the United States. In 2017, Muni graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. 1660 Vine will be Muni’s first feature role.

    1660 Vine is an original musical that investigates the journey of life as a social media influencer creating, curating, and continuing an artificial online identity that pleases sponsors, brands, and tens of millions of followers, all the while aware of the widening space between one’s true self and one’s online self. The film is an ensemble story of makeup tutorialists, stunt artists, models, pranksters, gamers, vloggers, and musicians who, though each on their path, have found community in the luxury Hollywood apartment building they (temporarily) call home – 1660 Vine Street.

    1660 Vine is directed by Patricia McGregor, the New York Theater Workshop Artistic Director. The legendary Paula Abdul choreographs it and features music supervision from the team that oversaw the High School Musical franchise. Muni is joined in the cast by Cheryl Porter, Chris Olsen, Pia Toscano, CJ Curz, Malachi Durant, Lisa Loeb, and Sam Haft.

    On this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Muni Norodom discussed what attracted him to the role of Danny, working with his cast, and sharing advice for content creators about being authentic on social media.

  • Episode #331: John Hickman TALKS An Intervention from Al Pacino, ‘GUNNERS,’ & ‘Barron’s Cove’

    Episode #331: John Hickman TALKS An Intervention from Al Pacino, ‘GUNNERS,’ & ‘Barron’s Cove’
    Nov 21 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome actor John Hickman to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    John had always been interested in acting, but it wasn’t until he won the opportunity to play a part in True Blood that he realized it was a path for him. His first scene on the HBO series turned into several more, and soon he became a part of Joe Manganiello’s “wolf pack,” which included the opportunity to work with live wolves in Season Five.

    John Hickman also worked on shows like The Originals and The Vampire Diaries on the CW. As a go-to character actor, John worked alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names, such as Bruce Willis, Ed Harris, James Franco, Nikki Glaser, Peter Facinelli, and Pierce Brosnan.

    While his acting career was taking off, he was secretly battling an alcohol addiction. After filming four films back-to-back, John wound up in the hospital due to his drinking. However, it was an on-set meeting with Al Pacino that led him to get clean and sober. While detoxing on his next set, the Emmy and Oscar-winning actor pulled him aside one day and told him he needed to improve. John took that life-changing advice to heart and went to rehab, returning later to finish the film.

    In addition to acting, John is dedicated to philanthropy. In 2011, he established the John Herman Hickman Foundation to aid victims of natural disasters and provide scholarships to the children of Peco Foods employees. His charitable efforts also extend to the West Alabama Humane Society and other organizations.

    On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, John Hickman discussed how he got into acting later in life, how an encounter with legendary actor Al Pacino changed his life, and his work on GUNNER (starring Morgan Freeman and Luke Hemsworth) and Barron’s Cove (starring Garrett Hedlund, Hamish Linklater, and Brittany Snow).

  • Episode #330: SWMRS TALK Becker, Cade's Progress, & European Tour

    Episode #330: SWMRS TALK Becker, Cade's Progress, & European Tour
    Nov 18 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome SWMRS (Max, Cade, and Cole Becker) to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    SWMRS is not just a band—it's a California-born brotherhood fueled by punk energy, catchy hooks, and electrifying performances. Max and Cole Becker kicked off this wild journey as teenagers, and for the past 15 years, they have been building a fiercely loyal, ride-or-die fanbase while evolving their sound.

    But in 2022, with the addition of younger brother Cade on bass, their dynamic took a decisive turn: the family bond became the band's heartbeat. For SWMRS, brotherhood isn't just a connection—it's their driving force. And now, they're inviting you to be part of the family too.

    On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, SWMRS spoke about their latest record, BECKER, and shared the stories behind their songs. Plus, Cade exclusively shared how he has grown as a musician since joining his brothers on stage.
