    Tommy Talk: THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT MODELING IN THE EARLY 2000s

    In this deeply personal Tommy Talk, Tommy takes you inside the modeling industry of the early 2000s, and shares the truth about what it was really like behind the scenes. After being scouted and signed by Ford Models right out of college, Tommy found himself thrust into a world he knew almost nothing about, booking major campaigns and working with some of the biggest names in fashion. But behind the larger than life photo shoots and exciting opportunities was an industry with few boundaries, little regulation, and an environment where models were often treated like commodities. Tommy opens up about being put in situations he’s never talked about before. He also reflects on why he rarely talks about this chapter of his life, how these experiences shaped him, and why he’s grateful that the entertainment and fashion industries have become more protective of artists and models today. This is Tommy’s unfiltered look at a time when the industry felt like the Wild West, and a reminder of why speaking up, setting boundaries, and protecting people in positions of vulnerability matters.

    MATTHEW LILLARD on Becoming A Horror Icon, Being Underestimated & The Highs and Lows of His Career

    This week, Tommy is joined by actor Matthew Lillard, who you know and love from so many beloved roles, including Stu Macher in the Scream franchise. Up next, he can be seen in Mike Flanagan’s highly anticipated series Carrie. In this episode, Matthew opens up about what it really means to be called horror royalty, why he calls Billy and Stu the “first husbands of horror,” and why he thinks so many people view Scream as a queer franchise. He reveals if there are any scenes from Scream he would want to redo today, why he resented making Scooby-Doo for the longest time, and how he then navigated a downward trajectory in his career before making a kick ass resurgence. Matthew also shares what makes this adaptation of Carrie the right one, what working with Mike Flanagan has meant to him, and the teachers in his life who made a lasting impact on him. He gets candid about whether he feels valued by Hollywood as an actor, what rejection has taught him throughout his career, and the surprising and incredible fan base he’s built over his 40+ year career. Plus, Matthew talks about championing Phoebe Bridgers early in her career before the world knew her, starting his spirits brand, the story behind his famous viral Ghostface vodka, the new dark comedy play he’s producing, what he has never said before, and so much more. And don’t miss Matthew's mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, our part 2 to this conversation where he’s answering burning fan questions, dropping Thursday, October 8!
