  1. The Linguini Incident

    The Linguini Incident

    The making of the quirky heist comedy The Linguini Incident is not a pleasant memory for writer-director Richard Shepard. Yes, he had a great cast including David Bowie and Rosana Arquette. He also was under funded and overwhelmed and eventually lost final cut. However, the sting of this failure never fully left him and thirty years later he set out to correct it. Shepard and Linguini Incident co-star Eszter Balint help tell this story of a missed opportunity and what it means to reclaim your past.

    Closing Night Returns

    Season 2 of Closing Night is finally here—the theater history podcast that takes you behind the curtain to uncover stories about famous and forgotten Broadway show that closed too soon. While season 1 focused on musicals that came and went from the Marquis Theatre, this season host Patrick Oliver Jones is tackling a whole new kind of theatrical heartbreak: shows that never actually opened on Broadway.  These are the productions that fizzled out during out-of-town tryouts or preview performances, including Lone Star Love, The Little Prince and the Aviator, Lolita, My Love, Let My People Come, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, among others. Episodes start at the end of January and will drop once a month throughout the year, with the first episode being all about Annie 2: Miss Hannigan’s Revenge, which was actually slated to open at the Marquis Theatre but was canceled after a disastrous run in Washington, DC.

    Introducing Stories My Brother Used To Tell

    Something different from the creator of The Industry is coming soon. Here's a short preview of Stories My Brother Used To Tell. My older brother Eric would often tell stories of his misspent youth at family gatherings. Seemingly always about a car or girl or both, these ridiculous stories seemed almost impossible to believe. Now, after years of pestering, I've gotten him to share a few of those stories in a new podcast.

    Strike It All

    In 1982 British filmmakerJames Scott had made an Academy Award winning adaptation of a Graham Greene novella. Adapting another Greene novella, this time as a feature length film, seemed like a natural progression of things. He had Greene's blessing to take his novella Loser Takes All and turn into a film that would feature stage star Robert Lindsay and Molly Ringwald. He had every element in place. Almost. The only thing left was getting American distribution. And that was found when a deal was struck with Miramax. All that James Scott had to do in order to get his modest British comedy made was deal with a producer named Harvey Weinstein, who had a lot of ideas on how this film should be made.

    Elaine's Mayhem

    Elaine May will always be best known for her comedy with Mike Nichols and her screenwriting skills. However, as a director May is an uncompromising force who seemingly would do whatever it takes to get her vision on the screen. This episode looks at the great lengths May went to in order to get Mikey and Nicky, a lifelong passion project made, and what that lack of compromise cost her. Author Patrick Cooper, director of photography/cameraman Jack Cooperman, and an unnamed crewmember help tell this story of a seemingly simple production that was anything but.

    Blake Edwards Strikes Again

    The death of actor Peter Sellers in 1980 also seemed like the death of the Pink Panther film series. Instead, director Blake Edwards decided it was a new beginning. A beginning of numerous lawsuits, several flops, and one unseen television pilot.
