Podcasts about Alec Berg

We talk a lot about agility, and today, we're going to talk about how lessons of agility can come from unexpected places - like the set of Seinfeld - where - for those superfans like me - our guest played Alec Berg - which should be said in more of a Jon Houseman manner, and while guest starring there (plus other shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Tracey Takes On..., and more) took some lessons from the value of collaboration and how great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. Joining me today is Mark DeCarlo, an Emmy Award-winning comedian, TV host, and speaker who brings a fresh and entertaining perspective on navigating change, AI, and work-life balance. Mark has developed five simple strategies to help people embrace chaos, overcome fear of AI, and actually be happier while working smarter.

From pissing-off pal Steve Carell, to convincing a random tourist to pose as a fashion designer during a live remote, Mark's interviews of the famous/infamous celebrate the odd and eccentric. His characters on “Curb your Enthusiasm,” “Tracey Takes On…,” “Seinfeld” and 2020's “Ballbuster,” zig where most zag. That's Mark, the human.

Welcome to the Re:Review Podcast, where we watch movies from our past with a perspective from today. Your Hosts are Matt, Bobby, and Austin. We have an immense love for the films of our youth so we're taking a look back to see if they still hold up.

On today's episode, we're going on a early 00s filled ride while we revisit the sex comedy, Eurotrip (2004). This movie is turning 20 years old next month, so I thought why not cover this film? This movie was written by Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel, and was "directed" by Jeff Schaffer, but his two writing buddies also directed, as well.This movie stars Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Travis Wester, and includes cameos from Lucy Lawless, Fred Armisen, and an uncredited Matt Damon and Jeffrey TamborIntro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

The season 3 finale of BARRY rips our hearts out as both we--and Barry--realize that there is no more starting over, "starting now." Sally fights then flights, Hank is visited by his own vengeance panther (real panther included!), and Gene finally shows us why he deserved to have his own acting school.

Things get bizarre and offensive in the penultimate episode of Season 3 of BARRY: "candy asses." We discuss the logic of fellating a concrete member to satisfy the urges of a young Medusa out on the town; the loaded usage of the "seaward" amongst and against gals; and Sally's descent into the full dark, no stars. Why didn't Sharon think through her weird revenge plot? Did George Krempf worry he would never live down that embarrassing moment in church? Will Barry die?!

Actor, director, and showrunner Bill Hader (BARRY, INSIDE OUT, THE SKELETON TWINS) joins Team Deakins to discuss his multi-faceted career in one of our funnier conversations. Reared in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bill describes how he first rode into town despite an early setback being rejected from film school for being “too entertaining.” We later drive down memory lane as Bill recounts several exciting but terrifying stories of PA'ing on low-budget films around LA—stops include a seven camera setup (all pointed at a map), watching us wrap early on THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (with envy), and learning what a controlled burn is (and maybe isn't). Bill also shares his experience co-showrunning BARRY with Alec Berg, a discussion ranging in topics from “what is a tone meeting?” to which takes actor Henry Winkler consistently nails his performance. At the end, Bill discusses his post-BARRY aspirations and the longevity of classic films that, despite their imperfections, stand tall today on the merits of their craft. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission  Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission

Get ready for a wild ride (upon a motocross bike, perchance) in Season 3, Episode 6 of BARRY: "710N." We spend some time breaking down the Donnie Darko-esque timeline of the Albert-Sharon-Fuches interactions, and ponder the pastry hierarchy that made Mitch a culinary sensation (and a casual therapist/oracle).

We have one job: it's to pick a Most Evil Guy. Yet we failed to do it again. Why? This episode is a crazytimesh*tshow (that's the name of the episode, we can't cut that!). Season 3, Episode 5 of BARRY gives us a lot to talk about, whether directly (Albert is back...somehow) or indirectly (Rhi builds her Barbie Supreme Court of funny TV ladies). We break down every photo in Barry's creativity collage for Sally, criticize The Algorithm, and encourage Emily Heller to secret-tweet us the mermaid emoji if she can in fact take credit for coming up with "BanShe."

Halfway through Season 3 of BARRY, we may have finally found some things to question about the show, and the theme of episode 3.04 is "That's a weird choice." Rhi gets nostalgic for BWW sauce, Jamie Lynn learns that Joe Mantegna is NOT a football player, and we welcome Monica Reyes (not her real name nor her character's name) to the BARRY family.

Editors - Franky Guttman and Ali Greer ACE While BARRY editors Franky Guttman and Ali Greer ACE worked independently on their own episodes of the series (the finale being the lone exception), the pair worked closely with one another and Bill Hader to review and refine each episode.  This was a process the two not only enjoyed, but credit for helping the show to maintain its high quality throughout. BARRY follows Barry Berkman, a U.S. Marine and Afghanistan veteran from Cleveland, who works as a hitman and wrestles with loneliness, depression, and guilt caused by his lifestyle as well as his actions during his service. He travels to Los Angeles to kill a target and finds a new sense of purpose when he follows his target into an acting class. After joining the class and making plans to become an actor, using his newfound passion as an outlet for his anxiety, he struggles to distance himself from his old life and keep his past a secret from new friends and colleagues. FRANKY GUTTMAN Having joined the series in Season One as an assistant editor, working closely with editor Jeff Buchanan, Guttman laid his cards on the table with showrunners Alec Berg and Bill Hader after Season Two, declaring his desire to take on lead editorial duties for the show.  The gambit not only worked, but resulted in an ACE Eddie and HPA award nomination for his work on that season's sixth episode (710N).  In addition to his work on BARRY, Franky is also known for Swarm (2023) and Kidding (2018). ALI GREER ACE Aside from her Emmy® win in 2021 for her work on BARRY in Season Three, Ali was twice nominated for an ACE Eddie award for her work on the series, Portlandia.  Ali also received an Eddie nom for the same episode of BARRY which brought her the Emmy®.  In fact, Ali's editorial career is highlighted by several standout series in the comedy genre.  Ali's time as an assistant editor was punctuated with stints on Kroll Show (2015) as well as the aforementioned Portlandia (2015).  From there she went on to edit such shows as Dream Corp LLC (2018), Black Monday (2020), Schmigadoon! (2021) and Hacks (2021), for which she received her first Emmy® nomination. Editing Barry In our discussion with the BARRY editing team of Franky Guttman and Ali Greer ACE, we talk about: Giving the audience "2+2" instead of giving them "4" Being an editor at night and the "king security guard" by day Bringing an improv mentality into the cutting room The incomparable sweatiness of Fred Armisen How to make sure both editors tell the same story The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Check out the free trial of Media Composer | Ultimate Hear from Ali Greer ACE and the rest of the editing team from Hacks Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Con "L'Unico Occhio dell'Uomo" tenterò di esporre, in modo più o meno interessante, le serie TV che considero meritevoli di attenzione e di una visione meno superficiale. O almeno posso provarci. L'Arte può salvarci da un'esistenza piatta o miserabile? La Recitazione può essere l'ideale valvola di sfogo per un uomo bisognoso di affetto o è semplicemente un valido sistema per vivere ancor di più nella menzogna? Troverete tutto questo e molto di più nella creatura di Alec Berg e Bill Hader "Barry". Un po' una commedia, un po' un dramma e a volte entrambe le cose. Un racconto crudele, beffardo, cinico eppure anche toccante e molto spesso esilarante. Semplicemente "Barry". E adesso è tutto finito. Come? Con un finale cupo, crudele, beffardo e a volte amaro. In poche parole, puro "Barry".

Un asesino por contrato que, durante un viaje "de trabajo" a Los Angeles, acaba convertido en alumno de una escuelita de teatro. La premisa de "Barry" no puede ser más concisa y precisa, y es muy probable que HBO la haya aprobado pensando que como venía propuesta por Bill Hader y Alec Berg, sería una gran comedia negra. Bueno, no tenían la menor idea de que estaban dando luz verde a un producto único, totalmente singular. Vistas desde fuera, las dos primeras temporadas de la serie eran precisamente eso: una negrísima mirada a la forma en que la sociedad moderna y el mundo del espectáculo se han fusionado en una frenética distopía, pero COVID mediante, las dos siguientes temporadas de "Barry" abrazaron el concepto hasta las últimas consecuencias, alienando y descolgando a parte importante de su audiencia (tal como le ocurrió, también, a Atlanta), empujando hasta el límite, creando una pesadilla que semeja muy de cerca el mundo en que creemos estar insertos. El riesgo de emprender algo así —bien lo sabe gente como Charlie Kaufman— se paga, Hader lo sabe, pero qué va: ya está en el panteón de los grandes. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

Este fue un episodio agrandado porque había mucho que hablar: El George nos habla de The Boogeyman, y junto a Gazoo Starr de AEW: Double or Nothing, y WWE: Night of Champions. Lola nos dice porque James Cameron no debe hacer más películas de Terminator, y terminamos analizando los finales de Succession, y Barry.

This week on On Story, AFF Moderator Harrison Glaser sits down with television writing legend Alec Berg for an in-depth conversation on his triumphant comedy writing career. Nothing short of a comedic genius, Berg's writing credits include some of television's most hilarious series, including his work writing, directing, and producing Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mike Judge's Silicon Valley, and most recently, HBO's Barry, which he co-created with SNL legend Bill Hader. Barry, which was recently renewed for a fourth season, is an Emmy-nominated dark comedy hit that follows down-and-out hitman Barry Berkman, played by Bill Hader. Barry's assignments bring him to Los Angeles, where he finds himself joining a local acting class for wannabe talent taught by Gene Cousineau, played by none other than Henry Winkler. Through this class and a budding relationship with aspiring actress Sally Reed, this not-so-cold-blooded killer finds himself amidst an existential crisis, asking as we all often do, what is it he really wants out of life? Only Berg, a master of situational comedy, would think to put a hitman in a beginner's acting class and to make it lighthearted and funny, but as many of our listeners know, there's nothing lighthearted or easy about breaking into the world of comedy. Berg breaks down for our AFF audience his journey, which started by gaining inspiration from the tapes of prior comedy legends like Steve Martin, to his early work writing for Seinfeld, to expanding his credit from writer to writer-director, to ultimately making a career and name for himself as one of television's leading comedy creators and showrunners. So get ready for a lesson in laughter from comedy legend Alec Berg. Clips of Barry and Silicon Valley courtesy of Home Box Office, Inc. Clips of Seinfeld courtesy of NBC.

Season 3 of BARRY keeps the manic ball rolling in Episode 2: "Limonada." Cristobal tries to support his local lemonade stand, Sally orders spaghetti to smooth over her domestic situation, and Gene almost becomes dog food for 40 dogs owned by a (very dumped) lesbian. The magic of BARRY is that it makes us laugh even as it bums the f*&k out of us, and this episode is no exception.

Barry's back, back again for Episode 1 of Season 3: Forgiving Jeff (spoiler alert: you can't forgive Jeff!). We discuss the ongoing significance of yellow flowers, Hank's improv interrogation, and christen Barry's ad hoc graveyard "Desolation Point." Barry starts out the season feeling #unforgiven (excellent use of Metallica btw), but by the end of the episode, learns that forgiveness can--and must--be earned. And he is determined to earn it from Gene. Most Evil Guy is a fancast about the show BARRY on HBO, co-created by Bill Hader and Alec Berg. Each episode of the podcast covers one episode of the show.

THE END (of Season Two) HAS COME. In the season finale of BARRY, our titular protagonist blows his New Years resolution to STOP KILLING PEOPLE; Hank finds himself secured in the Chechen crime family (through no effort of his own); Fuches flees for his life; and Gene's world is rocked by the revelation that his protege/adopted son Barry is the person who murdered the love of his life, Detective Janice Moss, LAPD. Sally is doing the best here, and it's only because she has chosen shallow success over artistic honesty.

This season 2 penultimate episode of #BARRYHBO is a doozy, with Naive Barry failing upward (6 feet, 2 inches upward, to be exact); Fuches proving that he still has cards to play; and Sally solidifying her place as Feminist Icon, Sally Reed with a rant that we feel in our bones.

We're back for Season Two of BARRY! Barry Berkman thought he'd be on easy street after Detective Janice Moss was out of the picture, but his lack of basic human empathy gave him a blind spot for predicting Gene's grief. Barry saves the acting class from cancellation, but loses another piece of his soul in the process, like a mediocre horcrux.

Con "L'Unico Occhio dell'Uomo" tenterò di esporre, in modo più o meno interessante, le serie TV che considero meritevoli di attenzione e di una visione meno superficiale. O almeno posso provarci. L'Arte può salvarci da un'esistenza piatta o miserabile? La Recitazione può essere l'ideale valvola di sfogo per un uomo bisognoso di affetto o è semplicemente un valido sistema per vivere ancor di più nella menzogna? Troverete tutto questo e molto di più nella creatura di Alec Berg e Bill Hader "Barry". Un po' una commedia, un po' un dramma e a volte entrambe le cose. Un racconto crudele, beffardo, cinico eppure anche toccante e molto spesso esilarante. Semplicemente "Barry".

Spoiler Warning! Chris and Taylor review the third season of the HBO black comedy crime drama series "Barry" created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader. The series continues to follow the relationship between hitman Barry Berkman and his acting teacher Gene Cousineau alongside a rival turf war between the Chechen and Bolivian mafias. The show stars Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Henry Winkler, Anthony Carrigan, Sarah Burns, Michael Irby, D'Arcy Carden, Fred Melamed and Robert Wisdom.

BARRY co-creator and executive producer Alec Berg explains the Metallica poster on Barry Birkman's wall, the Metallica and Pantera songs in the show, and details his first experience hearing Metallica. Berg spent a good chunk of his formative years in Pasadena, where he used to see Van Halen around town, and caught early shows from Armored Saint and W.A.S.P., among others. His formidable comedy credits as writer, producer, director, and showrunner include several episodes of Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Silicon Valley. We talk about the writing process, the metal connections in some of his work, and where he and Bill Hader are at heading into the production of Barry Season 4.

Another first on the No Outlet podcast! Had a guest cancel for the first time and instead of missing a week, we tried something new...a TV show watch along to an episode of the Bill Hader Dark Comedy "Barry"! Spoiler Alert...if you have not watched the first 2/5 seasons this watch along may ruin...then again, it may not? Barry follows Barry Berkman, a discharged Marine from Cleveland, who works as a hitman. Lonely and dissatisfied with life, he travels to Los Angeles to kill a target and finds a new sense of purpose when he joins a class full of aspiring actors. Despite his efforts to leave behind his criminal history and become an actor himself, he struggles to escape his dark past. It was created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader and premiered on HBO on March 25, 2018...if you like "Fargo" and the comedy of Bill Hader I highly recommend. Great cast including Stephan Root, Anthony Carrigan, Sarah Goldberg and THE FONZ Henry Winkler among many other talented actors. The show has received critical acclaim, with most praise going to its directing, writing, originality, humor, characters, and performances (particularly Hader's). The series has received various accolades, including 30 Primetime Emmy Award nominations; in fact, Hader won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series twice, and The Fonz won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. For the second season, Winkler, Root, and Carrigan all received Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor, while Goldberg received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The show has been nominated twice for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Back at Sottys house, he replies to an email sent to him from "Mike" his German pen pal. Cooper warns him that he could end up being sex trafficked when "Mike" asks to meet up. Scotty attends a graduation party that evening with Cooper, where the band, fronted by Matt Damon, performs a song detailing his affair Fiona called Scotty Doesn't Know. Cooper finds himself in a hot tub with a girl and convinces her to take her top off, before getting caught by some jocks and thrown out. Scotty returns home drunk and angry and reads an email from his German pen pal, expressing sympathy for Scotty and suggesting they meet in person. Remembering Coopers suggestion that "Mike" may be a sexual predator, Scotty tells Mike to stay away from him. The next morning, a very hungover Scotty sees his younger brother, Bert, reading his email and informs him that "Mieke" is actually a common German feminine name. Realizing that he had mistaken her name and that he has feelings for Mieke, Scotty tries to contact her again, but finds that Mieke has blocked his email address. Scotty decides to travel to Europe with Cooper to find Mieke and apologize in-person. -This whole movie could've been resolved if he just made another email address-Finoa is pretty hot-I LOVE Cooeprs line of "this isn't where I parked my car"... I used to use that one occasionally.-Its funny that with all the practice with writing German, he mistook Mieke for a guy, considering she probably used feminine pronouns.-Did you have a passport when you were 18? Could you have just up and gone to Europe? Scotty and Cooper go tot he airport and find flights via being couriers. They first arrive in London, where they en dup in a Manchester United hooligan pub; they eventually befriend their leader, Mad Maynard. After a night of drinking, Scotty and Cooper wake up on a bus on their way to Paris with the hooligans. In Paris, they meet up with their classmates, Jenny and Jamie, fraternal twins who are touring Europe together. While in Paris, they decide to visit the Louvre, but are met with a VERY long line. While waiting, Cooper gets creeped out by a street performing robot. Scotty begins imitating him, and this leads to a robot fight; ending with Scotty kicking the robot guy in the balls. That evening Jenny and Jamie decide to accompany Scotty and Cooper to find Mieke in Berlin. The group travels to Amsterdam, where Jamie is robbed while receiving oral sex in an alley, losing everyone's money, passports, and train tickets. Cooper, in his continuing attempt at crazy European sex, visits Club Vandersexxx; which turns out to be a dominatrix club fun by Lucy Lawless. Cooper is then sexually assaulted with a tripple dildo machine. Meanwhile, Jenny and Scotty think they are trying hash brownies; but it turns out there is no weed in them and they are not high. With their money and passports gone, they attempt to hitchhike to Berlin, but due to a language misunderstanding, they end up in Bratislava. Finding a great exchange rate with the U.S. dollar, the group goes to a nightclub. Drunk on absinthe, Jenny and Jamie make out with each other, witnessed by Scotty and Cooper, and are horrified when they realize what they are doing. The next day, a Slovak man drives them to Berlin, where they learn from Miekes dad that Mieke has left with a summer tour group, and will be reachable in Rome for only a short time. While Scotty is talking to Miekes dad, Cooper watches Miekes young step-brother color a tiny mustache on himself and goose step around his apartment; much to Coopers surprise. As they debate what to do outside the apartment, Jamie sells his Leica Camera for plane tickets to Rome to find Mieke. -Apparently the courier thing was a real thing, but has declined over the past 10-15 years, as couriers built their own fleets.-The robot fight is hilarious, but obviously not realistic at all.-Michelle Trachtenberg is hot. Killer body. I miss the shirts like she wears in the Bratislava, which I didn't know was a real country until recently. It doesn't look like the movies, though, very nice and pedestrian.-A used Leica M6 on Ebay was going for $2,772.-I love the whole Bratislava section; the green fairy and everything. I find it hilarious. In Rome, the group heads to Vatican City, where Mieke is touring before her summer at sea. Inside the Vatican, Scotty and Cooper search for Mieke and accidentally rings the bell that signals the Pope has died. They unknowingly enter the popes apartment, and after some fooling around, and accidentally dressing up as the pope, and accidentally setting a papal hat on fire, indicating a new pope has been elected, Scotty appears on the papal balcony, and everyone assumes he's the new pope. He spots Mieke in the cheering crowd below; all this happens while the current pope is watching on his tv. The Swiss guards realizes what is going on and detain Scotty and Cooper for their actions. However, the Manchester United football hooligans from London suddenly appears at the Vatican and telling the guards to release Scotty and Cooper. Scotty finally introduces himself to Mieke and confesses his love. Mieke is happy to see him, and they have sex in a confessional booth before she leaves on her trip. On the flight back to Ohio, Jenny and Cooper give into their urges and have sex in the plane's lavatory, while Jamie stays in Europe after being hired by Arthur Frommer. -No way they would've been able to just get into the Vatican without some sort of tour group paper work. Even if he did know everything.-There is no way access to the Popes apartment is just in a random door that is accessible by anyone. Also weird they would have the bell that indicates the pope has died right by his door.-In the original ending, Mieke turns Scotty down... Making a more rational decision that they don't know each other well enough.  Scotty moves to Oberlin College in the fall term for his studies. During his phone conversation with Cooper, who is now dating Jenny, Cooper asks what Scotty's new roommate looks like. Mieke knocks on the door of his room, having been assigned to the same room because of another misunderstanding about her name. Scotty and Mieke embrace and get into bed together, with Cooper calling for Scott on the other end of a still-open cell phone call and the film closing with the Absinthe Green Fairy wondering at his own lack of a sex life. -You'd think in one of the forms Mieke would've had to fill out to attend college, and get assigned a dorm room, she would have checked the "female" box, but I guess they missed that part. If anything, I feel bad she's probably in an all male dorm. Also, at 18... I mean, I seriously doubt they'll end up together forever.  Top Five Trivia of the movie: Top 5 TriviaThey had a lot of trouble casting Scotty. “It had gotten to the point, literally, where we were going to restaurants, staring at our waiters,” said Mandel of the search for Scotty. Luckily, Mechlowicz, a UCLA student at the time, “rode in on a white horse” to save them from further stress over casting the all-important part. Meanwhile, Trachtenberg credited her physical comedy in her audition — which was the airplane scene where Jenny climbs over Cooper on her way to the bathroom — to her getting the job offer from the producers. “And I blew them,” deadpanned Trachtenberg, who got several laughs from the crowd for her natural EuroTrip-style humor. Above all, though, producers said it was important to them at the time to cast real teenagers in the roles. “We didn't want 35-year-olds playing high school kids,” said Schaffer.Despite all the political incorrectness in the film, there was one scene that was just too much for the studio, referred to by producers as “The Anne Frank sex scene.” In the scene — never filmed but available in script form on the original DVD, they claim — Cooper finds a flyer for a sex club called “The Secret Room” and accidentally misidentifies the house of Anne Frank as the club. (“He asks somebody, ‘Is this The Secret Room' and they go, ‘Yes, it will change your life,'” Berg recalled.) Encountering a big line outside, Cooper assumes he has found the correct place, but instead of waiting, he goes through a backdoor. Once he discovers a small room with a small bed, he decides to get naked and wait for a sex worker — but soon after finds himself exposed in front of a tour group. (To make matters worse, Anne Frank's only living relative was a part of the tour group.) And as if that wasn't enough to horrify the studio, the scene also had Cooper reaching for a small mannequin — one guess as to whom it was modeled after — and covering his private parts with it, resulting in an unintended sexually explicit visual for the tour group. The producers wrote the Club Vandersexxx scene to replace this scene once it was nixed.The original title was Ugly Americans. But the studio didn't want the movie with “ugly” in the title or a “sarcastic or ironic” title, said Schaffer. “We had a knock-down, drag-out fight with them,” said Schaffer, “which is like having a fight with your parents when you're four because they can call it whenever they want.” And they did.The nude beach scene originally had much less nudity in it. But once they started filming, they realized it took away from the comedy to have all the extras holding surf boards and other objects — Austin Powers-style — to cover their private parts. “We thought, ‘Wouldn't it be funnier if it was just wall-to-wall penises?'” said Mandel. The extras likely didn't mind the change; according to Trachtenberg, there was a lack of shyness between takes, making for an awkward craft services environment.Matt Damon's cameo — as the band leader/guy who steals Scotty's girlfriend, played by Kristin Kreuk — came together because the producers knew him from their days at Harvard…and he was in Prague. In fact, many parts, including Jeffrey Tambor's, were filled because the actors were already shooting in Prague, where EuroTrip was filmed. “No one wanted to fly over and we didn't have the money to have anyone fly over,” recalled Schaffer. “So we basically looked around and said, ‘Who's filming in Prague?'” Luckily, Damon was in town shooting The Brothers Grimm. Not so lucky, however, was that the only night he was available was the shortest night of the summer, so “we literally had from 10:45 at night…and the sun would come up at 3:45,” remembered Schaffer. “So we shot it in, like, 4.5 hours.”And a little fun tidbit from me Marcus the Song Scotty doesn't know Matt Damon sing on Spotify it has 124 762 320M Downloads.

HBO's hit comedy-action series, Barry, has returned for a third season. Streaming on Disney+ Hotstar in India, the TV show is about a hitman named Barry who gets involved in LA's theatre and art circle. Bill Hader essays the role of the titular character, and the SNL alum's performances received plaudits, as did the series, winning several accolades over the past few years.  Let's get into some lesser-known trivia from the series. Let's begin.Alec Berg, who created the TV show, was skeptical that an action-comedy TV show would be funny or even be well received. However, co-creator and leading man Bill Hader, a popular comedian, asked him "well, what if the hitman was me?". And the rest as they say is history.Anthony Carrigan, who plays the role of NoHo Hank was supposed to be killed off after the pilot episode. But the creators decided to keep the character as Carrigan's comedic turn endeared him to the cast and crew. Hader came up with the idea for the second season in the most unlikely of places -  while waiting in traffic on his way to a press event for season one. He pitched the idea to Alec Berg just minutes before the event commenced. Actress D'Arcy Carden, who plays Natalie, has known Bill Hader for several years. She has in fact worked for Hader as a nanny. A writer for another hit HBO series, Game of Thrones,  once complained to Hader that the tone of the first few episodes of Barry was really dark. A bemused Hader responded by asking  "you know you make Game of Thrones, right?.  Alluding to the fact that Game of Thrones has earned notoriety for its dark and depressing storylines. While actor Henry Winkler was filming his final scenes for the second season, he looked around to realize that the production was happening on exactly the same soundstage Happy Days was filmed forty years ago. Winkler had starred alongside Ron Howard in the hit 70s TV series for nearly a decade. Winkler took the crew of Barry down memory lane by identifying various parts of the set used in Happy Days. Well catch the new episodes of Barry streaming on Disney + Hotstar.Thats the OTTplay Now You Know for today, until the next episode its your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poochoWritten by - Ryan Gomez

After our hosts discuss the show, actor Anthony Carrigan stops by to discuss bringing everyone's favorite Chechen mobster, Noho Hank, to life.

This podcast covers New Girl Season 2, Episode 23, Virgins, which originally aired on April 30, 2013 and was written by Elizabeth Meriwether and directed by Alec Berg. Here's a quick recap of the episode:After Jess gets a text from Teddy, the guy who took her “flower”, the whole loft (plus Cece) share their stories about how they lost their virginity. We discuss Pop Culture References such as:David Foster Wallace - When Jess was slowly telling her story, Schmidt asked her to get to the point and called her David Foster Wallace. The Rolling Stones vs The Beatles - Cece lost her virginity to Mick Jagger, the front man for The Rolling Stones. Schmidt, however, called out “Beatlemania”. Additional Pop Culture References such as:Dave Matthews / “Daver” - In Schmidt's flashback, Nick was going to a Dave Matthews concert and called himself a “Daver”. Dave Matthews Band is an American rock band, formed in 1991 in Charlottesville, Virginia. As of 2018, the band had sold more than 20 million concert tickets and a combined total of 38 million CDs and DVDs. Dave Matthews Band is known for their concerts where they play songs differently each performance and that is a staple of their live shows since the 1990s.“Stay (I Missed You)” - Lisa Loeb - All throughout Jess's story, this song played over the scenes. "Stay (I Missed You)" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb that was released in May 1994 as the lead single from the original movie soundtrack to Reality Bites. Lyrically, the song deals with a relationship that has recently ended, but the narrator is now regretful.Titanic - During Nick's Dad's business trip, Winston and Nick were watching Titanic on TV. Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. The film incorporates both historical and fictional aspects of the RMS Titanic and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Annie - In the flashback, Nick's dad mentioned needing alcoholic drinks to get through Annie, which is a Broadway musical based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie and loosely based on the 1885 poem Little Orphant Annie written by James Whitcomb Riley. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for almost six years.“Anything Could Happen” - Ellie Goulding - When Jess and Nick get together, the song “Anything Could Happen” by Ellie Goulding is playing. "Anything Could Happen" is a song on English singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding's second album, Halcyon. "Anything Could Happen" peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. We also cover the flashback scene of Schmidt and Nick talking about sex in college as our “Schmidtism”. For “Not in the 2020s” we discuss Nick's father getting a prostitute for his son and Jess asking her date to “be a man” again. For “Yes in the 2020s” we celebrate the consent and gender equality talked about on the episode as well as Schmidt and Nick's talk about intercourse. We also give a brief look into Brenda Song (Daisy) and Johnny Pemberton (Jess's prom date), the Guest Stars we feature on this episode.Also in this episode were the following guest stars who we do not discuss in the podcast: Dennis Farina (Walt - Previously discussed in S2E13), Merritt Wever (Elizabeth - Previously discussed in S2E22), Satya Bhabha (Shivrang - Previously discussed in S2E18), Lauren Weedman (Mysteria), Carla Renata (Octopussy), Christopher Wallinger (Teddy), Dylan O'Brien (The Guy), Trixx Ian Vitolo (Murder Victim), Joseph Culp (Mick Jagger Voice), and Nick Adams (Bartender).We also share this article (which contains spoilers) where we learned that while they were hoping for an easy episode, this was the hardest episode due to the costume changes and everyone being in each other's flashbacks. We also talk about how this was Dennis Farina's last role before his death.While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:Tuxedo vs. Suit - When Nick says he's worn a tuxedo before, Schmidt explains to him that a tuxedo is different from a suit. The main difference is that tuxedos have satin details, are only worn with white shirts that have a wing or turndown collar, and typically are accessorized with a cummerbund, waistcoat, suspenders, and a self-tied bow tie.Iraqi War - Schmidt says it was during the Iraqi War that he learned that men could be on top during sex. The Iraqi War was a United states led invasion of Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein and lasted 8 years from 2003 to 2011.Took My Flower – Jess brings about the plot of this episode by talking about Teddy, the man who “took her flower”. This is a euphemism to indicate taking someone's virginity.This episode got an 8.5/10 rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Nick and Kelly rated this episode a 9/10 and her favorite character was Schmidt!Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 24!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!Website: https://smallscreenchatter.com/

This podcast covers New Girl Season 2, Episode 12, Cabin, which originally aired on January 8, 2013 and was written by J.J. Philbin and directed by Alec Berg. Here's a quick recap of the episode:Jess persuades Nick and Angie to join her and Sam at his boss's cabin for a weekend away while Schmidt tries to help Winston get back to his “roots” as a Black man.We discuss Pop Culture References such as:Absinthe - Absinthe is the alcoholic beverage Jess, Sam, Nick, and Angie all drink while they're at the cabin. The Smurfs - Schmidt tells Winston he has the body of a Smurf when confirming he was in better shape than Winston. Additional Pop Culture References such as:Jackie O - Jess says Nick looks like Jackie O when he shows up at the cabin with large sunglasses. Jackie O is a nickname reference for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who was an American socialite, book editor, writer, and photographer who became First Lady of the United States as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. As first lady, her popularity was due to her dedication to the historic preservation of the White House and devotion to protecting her children. During her lifetime, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was regarded as an international fashion icon as was specifically known for her large round sunglasses.Pixar - Schmidt says Winston was like Pixar when talking to other Black people at the bar. Pixar Animation Studios, commonly known as Pixar, is an American computer animation studio known for its critically and commercially successful feature films that typically center around uplifting, life lesson stories.We cover Schmidt and Winston going to find crack as our “Schmidtism” this episode. For our “not in the 2020s” we discussed the way Schmidt approached trying to be “the Black friend [Winston] never had” and our “yes in the 2020s” included Schmidt wanting to create an open environment to have a frank discussion about race and how Nick shared his true feelings about his relationship with Angie. We also give a quick look into Javier Calderon (Robert), the Guest Star we feature in this episode.Also in this episode were the following guest stars who we do not discuss in the podcast: David Walton (Sam - discussed on S2E3) and Olivia Munn (Angie - discussed on S2E10).Additionally in the podcast, we discussed the term “jimmies” (which Schmidt used in this episode) and its etymology as well as how Jake Johnson later acted in Drinking Buddies where the couples go to a cabin and do swap partners. We also mentioned how the cabin used in this episode was also used in an episode of The Office in Season 8.While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:Chanting USA - In this episode, Nick begins chanting “USA'' when he and Angie show up at their free cabin for the weekend. This is a popular chant in the United States to express U.S. pride and support national sports teams. The first documented usage of this chant was in a steel plant in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.Jazz - When Schmidt is comparing the contributions of Winston and his ancestors to the United States, he mentions jazz. Jazz is a musical genre originated in African-American communities in New Orleans, Louisiana with roots in blues and ragtime music as well as West African cultural musical expressions and African-American music traditions.This episode got an 8/10 rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Schmidt and Kelly rated this episode an 8.5/10 and her favorite character was Jess!Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 13!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!Website: https://smallscreenchatter.com/

France's Jewish population mostly had no family surnames - until 20th July, 1808, when Napoleon issued a decree insisting they adopted one. They were not permitted to choose place names, and allusions to the Old Testament were forbidden.Rumours persist that some families were charged higher fees to adopt prettier names, but in a Europe rife with antisemitism, Napoleon's creations of Jewish consistoires (regulatory bodies) is still seen by some as a relatively tolerant policy.In this episode, Rebecca, Olly and Arion reveal the genesis of their names, explain how compound names like Rosenberg and Goldberg came about, and reveal the world's names most in danger of extinction.Further Reading:• The Imperial Decree, at Napoloeon.org: https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/articles/imperial-decree-of-20-july-1808-concerning-jews-with-no-fixed-first-or-family-names/• ‘What's in a Surname: The History of Surnames and How They Help in Family History Research', (MyHeritage, 2019):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sxmdkud0P8• Alec Berg's surname inspires this epiosde of Curb Your Enthusiasm:https://www.hbo.com/curb-your-enthusiasm/season-08/1-the-divorce/synopsisFor bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back tomorrow!

Cinematographer and director Brandon Trost enjoys exploring different genres and styles of filmmaking, trying different things that push him outside of his comfort zone. Brandon grew up around film- he is the fourth generation of his family working in the movie industry. He attended LA Film School and soon began working as a cinematographer. One of Brandon's early films, the action movie Crank: High Voltage, was shot much like a skateboarding video, with several small cameras strategically placed to capture the frenetic pace so that it would feel electric. Brandon loved working with director Rob Zombie on Halloween II, which was shot on 16 mm film for a very grainy and gritty look. Shooting the comedy film MacGruber was Brandon's first experience working in the humor genre. He and director Jorma Taccone wanted it to look like Die Hard, taking all the action movie tropes to an extreme, which is what made it funny rather than choosing to shoot it like a conventional comedy movie. MacGruber helped launch Brandon's career into shooting comedy movies This is the End, The Interview, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Neighbors and The Disaster Artist with Seth Rogan, Andy Sandberg, and James Franco. When shooting with comedians, Brandon found it's important to be prepared for improvisation and to light the space so there's flexibility for the actors to move within it, keeping shots fairly wide. For the films Diary of a Teenage Girl and Can You Ever Forgive Me? Brandon had the opportunity to switch gears again, working with director Marielle Heller. They chose a camera and lenses for Can You Ever Forgive Me? that gave the film a real, naturalistic, even unflattering look to Melissa McCarthy's character. Brandon got to explore dark comedy again in the pilot for the HBO series, Barry. Creators Bill Hader and Alec Berg wanted the violence to feel very real, dark and yet funny, so Brandon chose to treat the pilot like a Coen brothers movie, using moody lighting and shooting with a single camera. An American Pickle is Brandon's first time directing a large feature film. Frequent collaborators Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg asked Brandon to take a look at the script with an eye to directing, and the story appealed to him. Directing An American Pickle was challenging since Seth Rogan plays both main characters. Much of the film had to be shot twice- once with Seth Rogan as the character Herschel and then as the character Ben.

HBO's Barry wrapped up its second season a few weeks back, and Ed and Emily were both very taken with Bill Hader and Alec Berg's hitman comedy/drama. They talk about the ways in which it balances psychological insight with hilarious comedy, Hader's considerable skill as a dramatic actor, and the ways in which the show has deepened its ensemble in the second season, with plenty of SPOILERS along the way. They also discuss the debut of Neon Genesis Evangelion on Netflix, Bryan Singer being removed from the Red Sonja remake, and I Think You Should Leave being renewed for season two. Here is the Google talk with Bill Hader that Emily references during the Barry discussion. 00:00:00 - 00:24:33 - Intro & News 00:24:34 - 00:52:21 - Emily & Ed discuss Barry 00:52:22 - 00:56:48 - SRS Recommends & Outro

This week, we’ll hear from television creator Alec Berg. Berg’s television credits include writing and executive producing Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Silicon Valley, which is currently in its fifth season. Later, screenwriters that have successfully adapted books and other works for the big and small screen will discuss the challenges of capturing the spirit of the source material. Alec Berg has written for some of television’s most acclaimed comedies including Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Silicon Valley. He co-created the new HBO show Barry with former SNL star Bill Hader. The series follows Barry, played by Hadder, who is a depressed, low-level hit man looking for a way out. I recently spoke with Berg over the phone to discuss using research to help develop a story, avoiding clichés, and the evolution television comedies.    Clips of Barry courtesy of HBO. Sarah Gubbins co-created the Amazon series I Love Dick which was based on the 1997 novel of the same name, Marc Haimes wrote the 2016 animated film Kubo and the Two Strings and is currently working on adapting the graphic novel Nimona and the best selling novel The Girl Who Drank the Moon, and Eric Heisserer who adapted the novella The Story of Your Life into the 2016 Oscar Nominated film Arrival. Gubbins, Haimes, and Heisserer spoke with me at the 24th Austin Film Festival to discuss translating themes and literary devices, collaborating with authors, and when to take creative liberties.

For episode two of OnWriting, Jordan spoke with Alec Berg and Bill Hader about their Emmy-nominated HBO series, BARRY — a dark comedy starring Hader as a low-level hitman with aspirations of becoming an actor. Bill Hader's eight-year stint on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE turned him into something of a household name. He’s also written on SOUTH PARK for the last decade, and he co-created the mockumentary series DOCUMENTARY NOW with his fellow SNL alums, Seth Meyers and Fred Armisen. Alec Berg wrote for SEINFIELD and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM before working as a showrunner for SILICON VALLEY. He has also written on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN, and co-wrote the screenplays for films like EUROTRIP and THE DICTATOR. -- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews: www.onwriting.org -- Follow us on social media: Twitter: @OnWritingWGAE | @WGAEast Facebook: /WGAEast Instagram: @WGAEast

Bill Hader and Alec Berg talk with Gold Derby senior editor Matt Noble about creating "Barry," which earned 13 Emmy nominations this year. Hader and Berg are nominated together for Best Comedy Writing and as producers for Best Comedy Series, while Hader also earned nominations for Best Comedy Actor and Best Comedy Directing. Berg says the two creators were meeting at a diner when Hader said, “What if I was a hit man?’ My reaction was ‘I hate that. There are more hit-men on TV than the real world.’ But very quickly we came up with the idea of him wanting to be an actor. A hit man has to be anonymous, live in the shadows and cut off from their emotions. An actor has to live in the light, access their emotions and divulge their inner truth. It started to become really interesting. A guy caught between two worlds. In order to do one thing well; he has to put himself at risk in the other world.” Follow Gold Derby on Facebook and Twitter.

Alec Berg & Bill Hader, the co-creators and showrunners of the HBO series "Barry," discuss the first season, and their careers.

One of the most beloved presences on and off the small screen for almost 50 years, Henry Winkler is a director, producer, and bestselling author as much as he is a performer. After achieving ubiquity thanks to “Happy Days,” where he for years he played “The Fonz,” the coolest guy on TV, Winkler had to reinvent himself, working hard to identify exactly what he wanted in Hollywood. He’s collaborated with the likes of Adam Sandler, Mitch Horowitz, and now, on HBO’s dark comedy “Barry,” with co-creators Alec Berg and Bill Hader. He stars opposite Hader as Gene Cousineau, a revered and borderline-fraudulent acting teacher—the perfect role for a comedic genius with decades of insight into this industry. For over 50 years, Backstage has been the most trusted place for actors to find jobs and career advice, and for casting professionals to find the right performers for their projects. “In the Envelope: An Awards Podcast” features intimate, inspirational interviews with some of the most exciting actors and awards contenders working today.

两封非常深入的听众反馈，Rio 的 Apple Watch（负面）体验，和《IT 公论》「抢生意」的 Vox + LOOP，以及 Mike Matas 新作、Facebook 的 Instant Articles。 每月三十元，支持不鸟万如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。若您无意入会，但喜欢某一期节目，也欢迎用支付宝支付小费（建议金额：一元、五元或十元人民币）：hi@itgonglun.com 或扫描下方二维码。 上期节目播出之后，我们收到了两封非常深入的用户反馈。长期以来，电邮是我们和各位会员主要的交流方式。这次的两封邮件令我们深信电邮比论坛、通讯群、和各类线上社区更能催生细致而理性的讨论。我们也为拥有像各位一样的朋友感到骄傲。 Facebook 近日推出的 Instant Articles 功能无疑是吸引媒体全身心拥抱 Facebook 的又一招杀手锏。Facebook 想对美国的媒体做微信对中国媒体做的事情，它野心更大，且毫不掩饰。 一言以蔽之，Instant Articles 是网页文章的美图秀秀。它不仅让网页在 Facebook 的原生软件（目前只对 iPhone 版生效）里能够排出美观、无边框、富于交互性的版式，还大大提升了文章的加载速度——大概是一秒和七秒的区别。虽然这些文章最终是给读者看的，但 Instant Articles 功能面对的「用户」是媒体：《纽约时报》、BuzzFeed 等等。目前若想体验该功能的效果，请在 Facebook.app 里搜索 BuzzFeed，找到题为「13 Steps to Instantly Improve Your Day」的文章点开即可。 几个月前传出了 Facebook 试图邀请部分媒体将内容托管在 Facebook 里的新闻。条件不可谓不优厚：Facebook 负担所有的流量费用，免费提供技术支持。媒体销售人员卖出的广告 Facebook 分文不取；Facebook 销售人员替媒体卖出的广告，七成分给媒体。如今 Instant Articles 一出，连版式设计与用户体验的问题都帮你解决好了。简单来说，对于一线媒体而言，选择与 Facebook 合作不仅可以省去不少流量与技术维护成本，拿到现成的活跃渠道，还可以让你的页面读起来更舒服，加载速度更快。似乎完全没有拒绝的理由。媒体一旦入局，保留自己专门的 URL 和网站的意义就不多了。 这有点像前些年发生在企业软件领域的事。原本死都不放心把公司电邮放在别人家服务器的 IT 主管，渐渐意识到把电邮、日历、地址本业务外包给 Google（Google Apps）要比自己辛苦维护靠谱得多。从「自己动手丰衣足食」（Not invented here）到「让专业人做专业事」是 IT 领域的大势所趋。 媒体不擅长什么？做网站、维护网站、做 app、维护 app——最好的工程师很少会去媒体上班。这些事交给 Facebook 去做绝对是正确的选择。但别忘了还有一句口水话叫「如果不付费，你就不是用户，而是被卖掉的产品」。这对于活人成立，对于企业同样成立。免费享用 Facebook 一流技术服务以及流量必定会有代价，这代价就是丧失控制权。 控制什么？首先是表现形式。Instant Articles 再好看，也只不过是一种以不变应万变（one size fits all）的解决方案。面对各家媒体在品牌形象和设计上的多样需求，Facebook 愿意配合定制到哪一步，目前尚不可知。必须明白的一点是，「定制」和软件天生就存在矛盾。定制就是专有，就是不可复用，这和软件代码的诉求截然相反。手工艺品与西装的定制被传为佳话，而如果你写一个软件偏要用全世界没多少人用的定制技术，吃苦的肯定是你自己。这种本质性的悖论决定了工程思维主导的产品无法实现彻底的定制。对于重视自己独特表现形式的媒体，这是需要仔细考虑的。 更重要的是对读者信息的控制。运营过微信公众账号的朋友知道，你能看到哪些用户关注了你，但看不到她们的微信号。换言之，假如某位用户取消了关注，你就永久性地失去了她。你的电脑上不会有一个大大的装满读者资料的 Excel 表格。在我看来，Facebook 同样没有任何动机将用户信息提供给媒体。这对媒体而言是致命的。 从读者的角度说，不妨想一下你更愿意把个人信息交给哪一方。传统智慧认为 Facebook 靠卖你的信息为生，但媒体难道不是？要想让自己心安，付钱是唯一保险的办法。一手交钱，一手交货，就是这么简单。这种小卖部卖香烟的商业模式听起来可能不够酷，但不要忘记你是一个听为成年人准备的科技播客的成年人。酷不酷这种事，就用著名 funk 乐队 Tower of Power 一九七三年的经典《What is Hip》来说明吧： So you became part of the new breed Been smokin’ only the best weed Been hangin’ out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain’t quite right What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip?
