On the Mic with Tim Drake Tim Drake

On today's episode I have actress, writer, and director, Jenn Harris!
Jenn's new film "She's Clean" hits streaming services June 5, 2024! This short film is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. “She’s Clean” follows a resilient woman who from the comfort of her bathroom, tries to marry her desires for sexual freedom with emotional intimacy by showering with all her dates. 
I talked with Jenn about growing up in Illinois and finding her way to acting and filmmaking, crafting the dating stories in “She’s Clean” from real life experience of Jenn and her friends and family, men’s lack of hygiene, working on “American Fiction” and “30 Rock”, and so much more. 
A huge Thank You the Jenn Harris for taking the time to join me on the show. It was so great getting to know her. Make sure to check out “She’s Clean” on June 5th and follow her on all of the links below! 
Thanks, Jenn! 
Enjoy the episode!

On today's episode I have Oscar nominated director, Pablo Berger!
Pablo's animated feature length film, "Robot Dreams" was nominated for Best Animated film earlier this year at the 96th Academy Awards and will hit theaters Friday, May 31, 2024, after being picked up for American distribution by NEON. I loved this film when I watched it ahead of the Oscars and re-watching it to prepare to talk to Pablo brought that same joy. 
I talked with Pablo about growing up in Spain and finding filmmaking and a love for film, making the move to animation where all of his past films have been live action films, what inspires him about telling a story through animation, staying true to the fans of the "Robot Dreams" graphic novel, getting his Oscar nomination, how Robot Dreams was created, and so much more. 
A huge Thank You to Pablo Berger for taking the time to join me on the show. Go see "Robot Dreams" in theaters starting TODAY! It will continue to hit more and more theaters as the weeks go on, with it's full worldwide release on June 21st. This film will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions that I know you're going to love. 
Thanks, Pablo!

Today's episode we are coming to you LIVE from WonderCon to celebrate our 200th episode!
For this episode I stole a page from Pete Holmes podcast and had my producing partner, writer/director Alex Watson interview me for the show! It felt very fitting to be celebrating 200 episodes at a place like WonderCon since comic cons and conventions have been a big part of the show since we first started. 
Watson talked to me about getting started, my inspirations, finding my voice, how we first met and started working together, where the show name came from, and so much more. 
A huge Thank You to everybody who came out for the 200th episode! It's always so hard to get people to stick around 2 hours after the convention floor has closed, but I couldn't be more grateful for the friends and attendees that stuck around for the show. Thank you to those who asked questions and interacted with us during the show as well. And of course, a big thanks to Alex Watson for taking the time to take over hosting duties for the 200th episode. It's an honor to work with him on a daily basis and I was so happy he agreed to be a part of this show. Follow us on all of the links on www.onthemicpodcast.com

On today's episode, I have actress and Emmy nominated director, Daina Reid!
Daina and I first crossed paths a few years ago through the Sundance Film Festival with her film, "Run Rabbit Run". My Sundance 2023 coverage was limited given my own filming schedule, but Daina was somebody I had really wanted to talk to about this film and I am so glad we were finally able to make this happen. The day we recorded this the new Elizabeth Moss led Hulu show "The Veil" premiered their first two episodes which Daina directed!
On the episode we talked about how Daina got her start, acting on the hit Austrailan sketch show "Full Frontal", getting back to directing, working with comedy heroes like Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell on "Space Force", getting her Emmy nomination for "The Handmaid's Tale", directing for TV vs. directing for film, working with Sarah Snook and Lily LaTorre on "Run Rabbit Run", how the film came together, and so much more!
A huge Thank You to Daina Reid for taking the time to join me. It took some coordination to make this episode happen since Daina was back home in Melbourne, 17 hours ahead of me here in Los Angeles, but we had such a great time chatting! You can watch "Run Rabbit Run" on Netflix NOW, as well as the first two episodes of "The Veil" on Hulu! Make sure to follow Daina on all of the links on our website: www.onthemicpodcast.com 
Thank you, Daina!
