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

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!

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.
