    Ep594 - Joshua Zetumer, Writer ‘RoboCop,’ ‘Patriots Day’ & ‘Say Nothing’

    Joshua Zetumer serves as the showrunner, executive producer, and head writer of FX’s SAY NOTHING, an adaptation of the New York Times best-selling and National Book Critics Circle Award for Non-Fiction winning book SAY NOTHING: A TRUE STORY OF MURDER AND MEMORY IN NORTHERN IRELAND by Patrick Radden Keefe. Zetumer has also written on a number of global box office hits, including ROBOCOP from director Jose Padilha and the action thriller PATRIOTS DAY about the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013 and the subsequent terrorist manhunt. The FX’s limited series SAY NOTHING is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again. Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, SAY NOTHING explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence. In this interview, we talk about his personal background and influences, the decision to take on projects like ROBOCOP and PATRIOT'S DAY, the opportunity to return to personal filmmaking with SAY NOTHING, The balance between creative control and collaboration with directors and actors, and much more.

    Ep592 - Alison Schapker, Creator ‘Dune: Prophecy’

    "We wrote spec scripts. We sat in a Borders bookstore with an out-of-date agent directory and wrote query letters," says Alison Schapker, remembering her earliest days trying to break into television. "It couldn't have been more cold calling than what we were doing." Alison Schapker is a television writer and producer who has worked on genre-defining shows like CHARMED and ALIAS, and most recently served as showrunner on WESTWORLD. Now, she's at the helm of DUNE: PROPHECY, one of science fiction's most anticipated series. DUNE: PROPHECY stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, and Travis Fimmel. The TV series, which is still mostly under wraps, is set in the 'Dune' universe which centers on the lives of the Bene Gesserit. In this interview, we explore the evolution from writer to showrunner, the challenges of adapting the beloved source material, crafting the perfect writers' room with a strict "no-a*****e policy," and how therapy and management books shaped her approach to leadership. We also dive deep into the world of the Bene Gesserit and what it means to bring the enigmatic order's origins to the screen. Want more?
