roseanne

Johnny Lightfoot joins Steven Presley for pt 2 of our Solo reactions.

Why did Solo bomb?

Was this the nail in the coffin for Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm?

Also Fallen Kingdom trailer breakdown...

And would a Roseanne spin-off without Roseanne have any chance of surviving?

In this week’s episode, it’s a sci-fi spectacular as Ebony and Caro navigate the asteroid field of a movie that is Solo. We talk everything from Ron Howard’s directing to the squandering of Thandie Newton to the Star Wars series’ gradual shift into a much less interesting approach to storytelling. We reserve particular ire, however, for the film’s treatment of its feisty, politically revolutionary droid L3-37.

From there, we travel back in time to 1984 to revisit the James Cameron classic, The Terminator! In later episodes, we’ll look at other franchise properties, but we wanted to go back to where it all began. Our discussion touches on the great supporting performances of Lance Henriksen and Paul Winfield as a couple of cynical but decent cops, how Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor is presented as a “virtuous” mother figure, what makes the special effects so great, and especially Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance as a literal killing machine and how he came to embody an ideal of manhood in the 1980s.

Other topics include the cancellation of Roseanne, the brilliance of The Americans’ final season, and how so often even the warmest and most inviting children’s literature tells children of color that they are not welcome to fully enter the worlds those books create.

On possibly the most anticipated episode of Shaken Not Nerd (Maybe just to us), Dudi runs away for the episode and makes room for special guest Tom Sull3h (IG: @sull3h), and the boys discuss what characters from film and TV deserve their own spin-off.
But to mark the occasion, we just couldn't help ourselves and we got another very special appearance of "Sexy Stories with Fuzzy" for you guys, thanks to our mates at the 'Who Spiked the Puns' podcast. So, kick off those pants at 1h:56m.

Janet Leahy (Mad Men, Gilmore Girls, Boston Legal, Roseanne, The Cosby Show) talks her creative journey and work experiences.

We talk about:

• The Mad Men writers room
• Women in TV writing
• Women breaking into TV
• Writers Assistants
• Developing characters
• Production Secretaries
• The writers room
• Creating episode stories
• Worst fears-using character fears to create compelling story conflict
• Transitioning from half-hour comedy writing to one-hour drama
• Family of characters
• Story Conflict
• pitching TV shows,
• brainstorming
• playwriting
• road trips for writing

Quotes from the show:

"I pitch why it's important, the characters,  the tone."

"What's the worst thing? What are you afraid of? What relationships in your life are you trying to resolve? Why can't you resolve them?"

“It has to entertain the audience, move them, nourish them emotionally.”

“Family of characters… people bringing this family, these characters into their home. Because of the technology, they’re carrying them in their pocket now, too.”

"Whhat are their hopes and dreams? What are they not getting? What's their struggle? What are hoping to gain in their journey? Let's say their journey is life or their journey is a job or what have you. As long as you know all that, you can start playing with that. Then, what I found is once you have your characters,

"People start bringing in stories from their own lives to the writers' room and translate them through the show's characters."

"I try to clear my brain and then the ideas come. I let go of any notion that I'm going to control this thing and then the ideas come."

“This kind of complete camaraderie and yet complete competition in the room for jokes.”

“You’ll be really funny and talented on one show and the next show you work on, that showrunner decides whether you’re funny or not.”
