Comedy - Kristen Studdard Takes Us To The Magical Church Of Michael
In which Kristen Studard takes over The Hollywood Fishbowl.
You’ve heard Part I of the II-Part conversation with Kristen Studard. Now, it’s time for Part II of the II-Part conversation! We’ve given the reins to Kristen and she makes the most of her time as host of the show by showering praise on Magical Michael II: Extra Extra Large. Always the contrarian, Jesse runs a vibrant campaign for the dominance of Madeline Maxine III: Furious Roads as the most feminist film of all time. Because that’s what men do. When we get to The Fishbowl, we pull questions about solution, memories (courtesy of @phoeborama), love and loss (courtesy of @rrybrator) and friendly regrets. As always, thank you for listening!

Comedy - Kristen Does Her Best (And It’s Damn Good)
In which we meet the comedian behind the mad-cap brilliance of Ricky Burbank.
You know Kristen Studard from her appearances on Tim Robinson’s Has This Ever Happened To You (fun fact, Kristen’s episode also had Fishbowl Alumn Morgan Eliza Hill in it!) and Modern Family. But, we know her as the brilliant mind behind Ricky Burbank, The King Of the Valley Bros. In this conversation, Swinky and Jesse track the evolution of Kristen’s career from her childhood to landing in LA to finally cracking the shell and finding a life and career here. Also, great news! Kristen was in no rush so there’s a second part coming to this interview! As always, thank you for listening!

Comedy - Ryan Barton Joins Us In Blowing Out The Mics
In which we welcome improv comedian, drag racer and filmmaker Ryan Barton to the program.
We wanted him! We got him! Welcome to the show, Ryan Barton! After working together for over a year on UCB Drag Race, we’re thrilled to get to know the man behind the all-star-status queen Bottomless Mimosa. With a year of history and hardly 3 prior conversations between Jesse and Ryan, there’s a lot to get into. The conversation winds from Ryan’s early years finding his way in comedy to a shocking revelation that co-host Jesse never saw coming (hint: not all comedians want to be actors). Swinky’s along for the ride on this one and she brings her own set of enthusiastic questions and concerns to the conversation. As always, thank you for listening!

Storytelling: David & David Take Over The Hollywood Fishbowl
In which David Diamond and David Weissman take over The Hollywood Fishbowl and don’t give it back... Until they do!
Jesse’s out. David’s in! Also, David’s in! Once Mr. David Weissman and Mr. David Diamond are hosting, they cover the genesis of the Nicolas Cage/Tea Leoni vehicle The Family Man. Once we’re pulling cards from The Fishbowl, we get queries on meditation, sexiness and inspiration. If that isn’t The Hollywood Fishbowl in 3 words, I don’t know what is. As always, thank you for listening!

Storytelling: David & David Deliver Dual Discussion Directly
David Diamond and David Weissman have written a fair number of movies that made it to the screen. Then, they wrote a book called Bulletproof sharing the wisdom they’ve gained from their shared multi-decade career. And, now? They’re on The Hollywood Fishbowl!
David Diamond and David Weissman have racked up quite a rap sheet in LA, including writing Evolution (directed by Ivan Reitman), Old Dogs (starring John Travolta and Robin Williams), The Family Man (starring Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni) and Dream A Little Dream 2 (starring not one but TWO Coreys from The Brat Pack). With a multi-decade career under their belts, they felt it was time to write down the wisdom they’ve gained to share with a broader audience. And that’s how Bulletproof was born. How did it find its way to Michael Wiese Productions? Listen and find out!

MWP: Pamela Jaye Smith Is A Romantic With A Capital ‘R’
We are all gems in a interconnected matrix of thought and the sooner we understand the complexity and the beauty of that mesh, the sooner we can actualize as a mature species.
If you’ve had questions about the book of darkness, we have good news! Pamela wrote it (for MWP and titled it The Power of The Dark Side). Of course, she is more than an author. We get into philosophy, free will, religion, love and the fringes of life. If those topics seems heavy and heady, you’re in for a treat. Pamela keeps the conversation light and breezy. As always, thank you for listening!

MWP: Simone Bartesaghi Talks 3D Filmmaking, Sensitivity and The Matrix
We met Simone through Michael Wiese Productions but the title of ‘author’ only begins to scratch the surface. Simone started his career in business and had already found success when he finally got bitten by the film bug. Once he got his start, he couldn’t shake it and went on to produce and direct multiple award-winning shorts (one of them unbound by 2 crummy dimensions). As always, thank you for listening!

Faith-Based Film: Paul Long Seeks Direction, Not Perfection
Paul Long, founder and president of Kappa Studios, shares his thoughts on not just post production but also faith-based filmmaking and even faith.
Paul Long is a native Angelino but not a native post guy. His first college experience was for architecture. It wasn’t until a bit later in life that he got into post-production and eventually founded Kappa Studios (you know it, down on the corner on Magnolia). On this episode, Paul shares the genesis of Kappa, from the early days through to today and their current slate of projects, which includes a move into producing faith-based films. After all of that, we dive into the fishbowl and pull until our hearts content.

Faith-Based Film: Dallas Jenkins Knows The Danger Of Exceeding Expectations
Faith-Based Film Director Dallas Jenkins shares his ups, his downs and his all-arounds as a filmmaker with an uncommon openness of what he’s getting right and what he’s gotten wrong.
Dallas Jenkins has learned the hard way what it means to exceed expectations. Sometimes it’s a good thing, sometimes it’s not. And, sometimes it can bring a multi-year project to a screeching halt. Not only does Dallas take us on the deep-dive into that screeching halt, he also talks candidly about how he got the next project off of the ground, a task that was only possible after he picked himself up first. Then we turn to the Fishbowl and the conversation continues forward with the same positive energy but in more bite-sized chunks.

Faith-Based Film: Sonja Piper Dosti Heard The Best Pitch At Age 8
Sonja Piper Dosti found her faith at 8 years old and never turned her back on it, even through a long and successful career in filmmaking. How does that work? Listen and find out!
Sonja didn’t grow up a Christian; she discovered her faith at 8 when a stranger introduced her to The Bible. She’s held that faith close through her life, even as she moved through a career in film. We talk about the gap between the quiet austerity of religion and how that squares with a career in the film industry, which isn’t exactly known for its quiet austerity. We also take a swim in The Fishbowl and answer some humdingers from that arena. And, of course, empathy!
