تحسين

Adeel Shamsi and Jono Hunter plunge into the madness of screenwriting with a vow to write a complete short film script in each episode. Backed by their extensive (and otherwise useless) movie knowledge, they stretch their improv skills to the limit and turn the randomized prompt (genre, theme, character arc, etc) into a rough first draft. Each script is then brought to life as a radio drama in that very same episode.

The Lie Detector (feat. Miguel Rivas)

Actor, Writer, Show Runner, and Nardwuar appreciator Miguel Rivas is on the pod and lies about his height so much that it inspires the prompt “Lie Detector”. The result needs to be heard to be fully understood but it's somewhere at the intersection of political thriller, moral conundrum, forbidden love…and a Nardwuar-like villain hell bent on telling the truth.

Foie Gras (feat. Alex Tindal)

It’s a tale as old as time. You’re 16, raised staunchly religious by your satanist parents. Instead of spinning Beatles Records backwards like a good little demon, you played them forwards to hear secret messages about god and love. Oh yea, then you and your best friend got turned into ducks and were sacrificed at your first Bacchanal. This week, actor, writer, and improviser Alex Tindal is on the show to help us tell a totally-normal story about a totally normal “Horrorbilly teen that meets a talking duck”.

Control Room (feat. Emily Callahan)

We’ve all heard the rumours that Shakespeare had a ghost writer. The details are just a bit fuzzy. Actor and improviser Lance Oribello is on the show to help us bring things into focus for a “Shakespeare” prompt. Somehow, this evolves into the 17th century-Back to the Future-Dude Where’s My Car? crossover that no one asked for.

Dude, Where Art Mine Carriage? (feat. Lance Oribello)

Ditched (feat. Brandon Craggs)

Romantic Comedies are usually about people getting together but in this story, we endeavour to tear them apart. Actor, writer, and improviser Brandon Craggs is on the scene to dismantle the “first love lost” prompt and the result is… pretty much the movie Hitched but in reverse. Though you’ve never asked for it, you’re welcome.

Twenty Dollars Short (feat. Ghazal Ghiami)

Glen Giddy is not laughing when he finds himself twenty dollars short on rent. Writer, performer, and comedian Ghazal Ghiami joins us to unpack the “worst day ever” prompt. Together they grapple with a struggling artist, a child of divorce, a John-Wick-obsessed landlord, and clandestine high school gamblers. Will Glen get to keep the lights on? Or is his (John) wick about to burn out?

The Key (feat. Chelsea Larkin)

Actor, Improviser, and writer Chelsea Larkin comes to the rescue after the “5 minutes to save the world” prompt threatens everything we hold dear. When the Pentagon detects an imminent nuclear launch, there's only one man who can stop it—a brooding, gravel-voiced agent with the grit of Batman and the intensity of Jack Bauer. The catch? The vital key to prevent Armageddon is in the possession of Jim Pickles, the Pentagon's bumbling concierge, who’s more concerned with the fact that he’s getting dumped and kicked out of his house for some highly questionable Facebook activity. With just 5 minutes on the clock, our hero must race against time, cut through chaos, and somehow reason with the hapless Pickles before it's too late.

Money Shot (feat. J.J. Greenberg)

Actor and Improviser J.J. Greenberg thrust into the world of adult filmmaking after pulling the prompt “Judd Apatow” (and somehow it all makes sense). The story follows super-successful adult film star John Thrust, who yearns for a career in ‘real’ movies but the offer of a lifetime leaves him at a crossroads. Will John pull out of his career, even if it costs him the ones he loves? Or will he put his money where his mouth is?
