This week…we’re bringing you very special guests! Independent filmmakers John and Lotti Knowles! They write. They produce. They direct. They do it all!
Lotti just produced “I am Divine” which made it into SXSW. Head over here: www.divinemovie.com and please support it.
John just directed their first feature (which Lotti wrote), Chastity Bites! Please go to the website, www.chastitybites.com, and support it via twitter and FaceBook!
In honor of the fabulous Divine and just overall love for everything John Waters, this week’s song is “The Creep” by The Lonely Island.
This week Cheryl and I take on some mom critique…tackle a question from you guys AND do it all without the help of our lovely guest. We were SUPPOSED to sit down with Al Kumar to chat with him, but we ended up breaking him.
In honor of Al, the song this week comes from an 80’s one hit wonder, John Waite. That’s right, the 80’s crap-tastic song… “Missing You.”
WELCOME! To another exciting episode of Breakin In!
This week Cheryl and I chat about boobs…actually, songs about boobs. More importantly do songs about boobs belong at the Oscars?! (Spoiler Alert: The answer’s yes!)
But the main theme is focused on making a cheap “contained thriller” without making a cheap, SHITTY “contained thriller.”
Our song this week is Soul Asylum’s “Runaway Train.” Why you say? Is it because we have a deep seeded love for 90’s Generation X grunge songs? NO! Cause well…you’ll get the connection…
Enough with the guessing games… let’s get to the show!
This week’s song is “Smack My Bitch Up” by Prodigy… why? Cause it’s the return of Fucktard of the Week! Cheryl and I let loose our nastiness on one of our critics that wanted us to “go back to basics.” Well…we did. On him.
After that we chat about my new job! A very exciting opportunity has come my way and we talk about some of the benefits of that.
At the tail end of the show we chat about my roommate’s improv comedy group Drunkards and Dragons. Here’s a link to their site: Drunkards & Dragons
I STRONGLY suggest you check out their show sometime. It’s great times!
This week we chat about query letters and writing on assignment then… we’re joined by Alex to talk about her very own Breakin’ In story because of well, Breakin’ In!
If you missed it, we posted a bonus edition of Breakin’ In! where Cheryl and I chat about A Good Day to Die Hard. Check it out here… Special Edition #1
Our song this week is Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” in honor of Alex’s little bit of possible success!
Hey everyone…welcome to another episode of Breakin’ In!
This week we have a very special guest. A long time friend of ours… he’s a producer… he’s a screenwriter… he’s a master at the distribution model… and he’s a super cool dude!
It’s Johnny Silver!
For those who don’t remember, Johnny is actually one of three writers who recently sold their script Final Girl, which is in post as we speak. The trailer just came out for Final Girl, please check it out here. It stars Abigail Breslin and Wes Bentley! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McRjP4si7bk
And to celebrate having him on the show and his go go go attitude… our song for this week is Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.”
This week we tackle a tad bit of criticism, update you on where we are with current projects and dive deep into Cheryl’s writing. We also take a couple of minutes to sptball how to better prepare you for pitchfests.
Our song this week is Limp Bizkit’s “N 2 Gether Now.” Ahhh yes, the 90’s. I miss them so. The song will totally make sense when you hear our discussion. Please, head over to iTunes and download this nugget from the past.
This week, we record from the fabulous heart of Hollywood where we discuss overwhelming personalities and colorful characters. We also chit chat a little about the brunch meeting we had right before we recorded.
Our song this week, cause you know…I’m cheesy and lame…is a little disco (that’s right, I said it) classic “Hollywood Swinging” by Kool and the Gang.
Breakin' In!
