    The Apprentice - with Ben Sullivan

    On today's exciting episode of Objection! You're Fiction we try to get inside the mind of the man who molded the president through the eyes of his assistant. We got a chance to speak with "The Apprentice" actor Ben Sullivan, who played Roy Cohn's assistant and lover Russell Eldridge, about his experience working on the controversial biopic of Donald Trump and Roy Cohn. This is a movie that is one part drama, one part biography, and 3 parts character study. We get to hear from Ben about how each of these characters, and the real men they're inspired by, "contain multitudes" in balancing their public personas and personal struggles. How do these men respond to pressure, challenge, mentorship, and the transactional nature of relationships? What insights would the lover to his mentor have into the mind of Donald J Trump? You can check out "The Apprentice" and learn more about Ben Sullivan on Instagram at @benpsully. And as always, for everything real estate and the law check out bfklawoffice.com Hosted on Acast.

    Jury Duty - David Brown (Todd)

    On today's episode of Objection! You're Fiction we interview the improv mastermind behind fan-favorite character Todd of Jury Duty.

We get insight into the cast (jury?) selection process, the preparation everyone went through to walk the tightrope of realism and comedy, and just how tricky it is to remain in-character through days of simulated tedium.

    The Producers (1967)

    On this exciting episode of "Objection! You're Fiction" Lee and Mike sit down to chat with our good friend David Slarskey to take a look behind the curtain at the Mel Brooks masterpiece "The Producers" (1967). This sidesplitting comedy is the oldest film we've looked at so far, and deserves to be remembered as ahead of its (spring)time. David is both a playwright and fellow lawyer who helps us break down the many defrauded investors and arson attempts as bumbling buffoons Bialystock and Bloom break laws and moral codes in search of the elusive greatest flop in Broadway history. You can check out David's latest play "Schmaltz" at the NYC Fringe Festival running April 7th to 21st at the wild project theater, located at 195 E 3rd St in Manhattan. https://www.frigid.nyc/event/6897:605/ And if you want to avoid a contract promising 15,000% of profits to your investors, you can contact Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina at bfklawoffice.com Hosted on Acast.
