I could not think of a better way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Taylor Swift‘s Debut album than reading a screenplay inspired by her work. I did not plan that, but it made me realize this was meant to be.

Thank you @shea_coughlin_jacobs and your Artist’s Lab for having faith in me putting this together

Thank you so much to everyone who came, who read, who critiqued, who listened to my story. This project was born in part because I felt so alone. It meant the world to me that you all came, and seeing you all react so viscerally - whether it was laughter at the humor or gasps at the twists - was a dream come true. And I know your critiques will make it a stronger piece and me a stronger writer.

Thank you all the feedback. I will cannot wait to share Episode 2 with you all…

Front Row Classics is taking a look at a true guilty pleasure this week. Brandon is joined by two friends of the podcast, Tony Maietta and Benjamin Burke to break down 1956's The Opposite Sex. This misguided remake of The Women has an impressive cast, yet unfortunately failed to capture the same magic of the 1939 film. Yet, there is still is fun to be had within the movie. Get ready for an irreverent and hilarious conversation about an MGM musical that doesn't quite measure up.

Link is in bio.

wo cleaners working at a church in the early morning hours find that they can't say more than a few words to each other at a time. As they attempt to figure out why they're unable to communicate at length, they grow closer than words could ever allow.

Always happy to chat with my friend, Ben Burke. We're taking a look at 1950's Young Man with a Horn. Featuring great performances from Kirk Douglas, Doris Day, Hoagy Carmichael and Lauren Bacall (in one of her most subversive performances).
