Our Emmys predictions and whether they matter ft. Ian Power

In this episode, my friend (and awards show aficionado) Ian Power and I have a lively conversation about everything television and Emmys. First, we get deep into the Emmys' existential roots: Do the Emmys even matter? Who cares about them? What role do the Emmys (and other awards shows) play in the entertainment industry? We then talk strategy and mechanics behind winning an Emmy, and FINALLY, share our own predictions at XX:XX. We hope you enjoy!

Thoughts on weddings & marriage, on screen vs. real life

In this episode, Michelle and I get introspective on all things weddings & marriage. We talk about some of our favorite and most formative romances portrayed on screen, and how well (or poorly) they seem to embody reality and our own feelings about weddings and marriage. Special mentions include The Office, Mamma Mia, Indian Matchmaking, and much more -- listen to find out!

Creative Exec Ari Elan talks Sundance premieres, M3GAN, and finding good stories

In this episode, the incomparable and hilarious Ari Elan and I talk about what it means to be a Creative Executive in the film industry. She gave me the inside scoop on how she finds authentic, transnational stories she's excited about, how she strives to bring BIPOC filmmakers into the limelight, her meticulous, years-long process of cataloguing every director, producer, show-runner, actor, etc. (you name it) she wants to work with, and much more.

Reflecting on SXSW Film Festival 2023 with Michelle Yuan

Michelle and I taped this episode together in Austin at South by Southwest 2023, where we saw 15+ film screenings, met some of our industry idols, and attended panels on everything from diversity in film to using AI to solve climate change. Have you gone (or thought about going) to SXSW? In this conversation, we share the highlights and honest reflections from our memorable week taking in all that SXSW had to offer. This episode is a bit different from the typical interview we'll do on this podcast (lots coming your way soon), but we hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless!
