Description

Today on The Outtake Show, we're joined by our first-ever actors in the building — and we doubled up. The creators and stars of the hit micro-drama series ACTORS Hope & Ezra pull back the curtain on what it really takes to be a working actor in the UK right now. From turning an unused pilot script into a breakout vertical series, to shooting the entire show in just 7 days, Hope & Ezra break down why they stopped waiting for the phone to ring and started making their own work — and why more actors should do the same. We talk self-tapes, the unspoken competition between actors, working-class barriers in the industry, China's $9 billion micro-drama business, and the three ways to actually book a role (only one of which is auditioning). Watch ACTORS every Monday & Thursday at 6pm, exclusively on Instagram and TikTok https://www.instagram.com/actorsdrama/ Follow the guests: https://www.instagram.com/hopeikpokujnr/ https://www.instagram.com/ezra_elliott/ Socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theouttakeshow Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theouttakeshow/ Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/theouttakeshow/

Back to the Future 41th Anniversary : Why It's Still the Perfect Blockbuster ft alltherightmovies

Back to the Future at 41: Why It's Still the Perfect Blockbuster Great Scott — Back to the Future is 41 years old. Four decades (and change) since Marty McFly hit 88mph, we're taking the DeLorean back to 1985 to ask the big question: is this still the perfect blockbuster? For this one we're joined by special guest John Barker from the All The Right Movies podcast, as we dig into our first-ever viewings of the film, the 1985 cinema landscape it landed in, and the chaotic production story that nearly saw it never get made Socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theouttakeshow Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theouttakeshow/ Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/theouttakeshow/
