    Julie is hilarious and brilliant. A cultural vol au vaunt who speaks hilariously and intellectually about Film TV culture in general just layers of smart sass. Here for it. Give her another show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are You Mad At Me with Bryan Safi
Q: So Bryan, where can people see your show and where can people find you and what podcasts are you doing now?
Bryan explains the NYC show Are You Mad At Me? and how to follow him to his podcast Attitudes and the Asgrana podcast with Jessica Chaffin, plus links for tickets.
John Early’s Secret
Q: Why did you decide to place the explicit, intimate love scene at the end rather than earlier in the film?
Deliberate pacing was key; saving the scene for the end allowed the film to build tension and emotional payoff, while ensuring the relationship remained grounded in the character's journey rather than serving as early shock value.
John Early’s Secret
Q: You wrote Maddie's Secret largely by yourself, but you spoke about following Maddie's voice throughout the process. How did that shape the outline and the final film?
I had an outline, but I followed Maddie's pull as a character, letting her needs and the melodramatic tropes of TV movies guide structure and tone, which kept the script propulsion and emotional core intact.
#1, No Dagger with David Sedaris
Q: What was the most surprising thing you learned while researching or writing your new book?
Sedaris describes the process of turning ordinary experiences into narrative, noting how language constraints and audience expectations shape what makes it into the page, and how personal memory interacts with performance when the material is read aloud.
Billy on Billy with Julie
Q: What motivated you to write Billy on Billy as an audio memoir?
Billy explains that the memoir was driven by a desire to present a more authentic, multi-faceted version of himself beyond the on-screen personas, and to honor his parents who were instrumental in shaping his love of performance.
