  • Always Pleasantly Surprised!

    Time and again Jess & Jenn find a way to bring cool insight into whatever topic they’re covering. I often feel like they’re reading my mind: when a question pops into my head while I’m listening, they usually answer it like 30 seconds later in the episode. They’re also really great at asking detailed, incisive questions, and creating an environment that puts the guest at ease so we can listen to their more authentic opinions. My favorite part of all is that they’re not afraid to speak their mind... more

  • Spreading misinformation

    I enjoyed this podcast for the most part until the Oscar episode and their spreading of misinformation regarding the Artists for Ceasefire pin - if one is going to spew such vitriol, you’d think they get their facts straight.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

128. The Doctor’s In with David Gridley
Q: What was the audition experience like for Scrubs and how did the process unfold across different sides?
The Scrubs audition process evolved with the show's renewal; it involved in-the-room dynamics, callbacks, and a multi-step path shaped by the network and producers, with the ABC showcase visibility amplifying opportunities.
125. Pulling Back the Curtain on the world of Verticals with Paige Compton!
Q: Is there a viable path for independent creators to break through in verticals?
The guests discuss releasing on YouTube or dedicated vertical apps, the importance of storytelling quality, and alternative platforms like Inverted.Film offering more favorable revenue shares to artists, signaling a potential sustainable route for independents.
125. Pulling Back the Curtain on the world of Verticals with Paige Compton!
Q: How do you approach casting when leads are chosen by the platform and not by the director?
Paige describes a workflow where casting directors shortlist, rank, and present options, but leads are frequently selected by the paying clients; there is emphasis on headshots and marketable appearance as well as audition quality.
125. Pulling Back the Curtain on the world of Verticals with Paige Compton!
Q: So what does that process look like in the development process for verticals?
Paige explains that development timelines are project-dependent, with pre-production often ranging from one to four weeks for feature-length scripts, and that leads, casting, and writing are heavily influenced by data and platform requirements.
121. Holiday Giveaway Winner, Elyssa Phillips, joins us with her hot takes!
Q: How do you feel if actors have their reps sort of like general pitch them to you if it's not for a specific project?
General pitches can be less useful unless tied to a specific breakdown, but they do help in keeping connections alive.
