“People think sequels are easier, and I'm like, ‘No, no, it's much harder. It is much harder to write.' They have never written sequels, those people, because you need to do everything as well as the first and yet better, and go to new places, follow all the world rules, but create new ones. I mean, it's just so many balls in the air,” says Meg LeFauve, co-writer for Inside Out 2, along with Dave Holstein. In this special live episode from the Writers Guild Foundation Library, Meg LeFauve and Dave Holstein talk about tackling a whole new set of challenges as they wrote the sequel to the beloved movie Inside Out. They also discuss the 5-year Pixar development process that includes the concept of failing fast. “They really want you pushing to things that are new and innovative, so they expect you to fail. They actually want you to fail but they want you to do that quickly, right? Because we only have five years, so it's always like, hurry up, hurry up. You know, fail. Go again. Go again,” she says. Holstein shared some very personal advice for writing coming of age stories, like the Inside Out movies: get micro-focused. “Sometimes it's better to zoom in than to zoom out. For me, it helps to zoom in on a detail and let the detail be a microcosm for the rest of it. I know that when we were writing this film, I was thinking about my anxiety at that age and where that came from. I had a speech impediment, I had a stutter, so I hated Spanish class because I had to read out loud, and my stutter always came out in front of people, which made me very, very anxious. And I feel like, for Riley, there's a three-day hockey camp that could determine the rest of her life. That's where I sort of sunk into and if I was writing a different story about me, I would have gone into those details. But for me, it was about finding something very specific and very small,” says Holstein. To hear more about the writing process, listen to the podcast.
"Inside Out 2" premiered earlier last summer to enormous success for Disney Pixar as the long-awaited animated sequel to 2015's "Inside Out" went on to gross over $1.699 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the process.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing INSIDE OUT 2 (2024), directed by Kelsey Mann, from a script by Meg LeFauve, Dave Holstein and Kelsey Mann. Puberty is messy in this fantastic sequel to Pixar's original 2015 hit movie. Riley (Kensington Tallman) is now thirteen and just when Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith) and the rest of Riley's emotions (Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear and Liza Lapira as Disgust) think they have everything running smoothly, a new crew of emotions (Maya Hawke as Anxiety, Ayo Edebiri as Envy, Adèle Exarchopoulos as Ennui and Paul Walter Hauser as Embarrassment) arrive to make the trials and tribulations of being a teenager even more chaotic. The film clocks in at 1 h and 36 m, is rated PG and currently streaming on Disney+.

Kim Masters and Matt Belloni banter about the summer box office, noting that it started with a whimper but is ending with a bang thanks to a sequel and two superheroes. Edgar Bronfman Jr. has withdrawn his bid for Paramount, and as the Venice Film Festival kicks off, Italy's increasingly right-wing government is courting Hollywood productions. Additionally, Meg LeFauve and Dave Holstein, the writers of the Pixar megahit Inside Out 2, join Kim Masters to discuss the importance of putting animated movies in theaters instead of only on streaming platforms — as former Disney CEO Bob Chapek did during his tenure. They also address whether the culture at Pixar has changed since John Lasseter’s 2018 departure amid misconduct allegations.

It's not often that we sit and think about feelings: what they are, where they come from, and why they're happening. We just feel them. Almost ten years ago, one movie gave voice to what may be an indescribable experience: discovering your feelings. That movie was Inside Out. This weekend, Inside Out 2 premiered in theaters. It follows 13-year-old Riley as a few new feelings are added to the mix as she enters her teen years: Envy, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Anxiety. We talk to screenwriter Dave Holstein and experts about what it means to discover your feelings throughout your childhood – and your adulthood, too. Want to support 1A?

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of the most celebrated films Pixar (a FANTASTIC studio) has ever put out, has now hit theaters but the hype for this one just hasn't been there. I was looking forward to it and was very curious about what Pixar had to say about emotions during our teenage years as opposed to being a child but it's weird that it took 9 years. And an even weirder choice was waiting 9 years and not aging Riley up a little more. Anyways, we now have the film. Does it live up to the original? Find out in this review!

In this episode, I talk with Dave Holstein, co-writer of the upcoming Disney/Pixar sequel Inside Out 2, which takes us back into the mind of a now teenage Riley as she navigates a whole new crop of personified emotions, including Envy, voiced by The Bear star Ayo Edebiri, and of course, Anxiety, voiced by Stranger Things' Maya Hawke. Dave describes what it's like working with a well-oiled storytelling powerhouse like Disney/Pixar, as well as co-writing with Inside Out franchise veteran Meg LeFauve to not only recapture some of the magic of the original film but to also create some of their own.

When asked about his first time working in feature animation, Meg's Inside Out 2 co-writer Dave Holstein described the process as: "writing inside a dishwasher while it's running." This is just one of many charming talking points in this lovely conversation between two brilliant minds: Dave, and our very own Meg LeFauve!
“Honestly, and I know it sounds sentimental, but when I became a writer, I held Pixar out as my beacon,” says Meg LeFauve. “At the time, I thought some of the best storytelling was coming out of Pixar and I had heard about the Brain Trust room. I thought the scariest, most thrilling thing I could do is be in that room as a writer with those Story Brains.” Everybody told Meg it was impossible and that “they don't even hire writers.” She adds, “But, you have to do what your gut tells you and you don't go in a straight line, but I eventually got to go in and meet on a project.” She didn't get hired on the first meeting but did land the job on Inside Out. Dave Holstein says, “In college, I remember watching the short film collections from Pixar and being endlessly moved by the work they were doing and that was one of my big career goals. 1. Run a TV show. 2. Write a Pixar movie. These things seemed too far away.” Holstein initially met on Toy Story 4, didn't get the first job, but was asked to meet on Onward and then, Inside Out 2. “It was a great combination of scheduling luck and having been on their list for a long time.” The screenwriter created the Jim Carrey series Kidding between Pixar meetings. As far as ongoing work with Pixar, the writers say you really need to be comfortable in a Writer's Room and you need to be able to think and pitch ideas on the spot. “It doesn't mean you have to come from television, but there's that element to it. You're with the Director and you come out of a screening and you have to pitch ideas how to fix it on your feet.” Many writers start as “weekly” pitchers. “They want to know if you fit into this flow. Can you pitch on your feet? A lot of writers listen and then pitch so there's no one way to do it, but that's an element of working there that isn't for all writers,” confirms LeFauve. “Like TV, the job is to serve a greater vision,” adds Holstein.

Writer and creator of "Kidding" on Showtime, Dave Holstein joins Rory to talk about his work on Weeds, writing the "Kidding" pilot a decade ago but keeping it relevant, and the long, arduous, but ultimately worthwhile pursuit of Jim Carrey.
Dave Holstein, creator and showrunner of “Kiddingjoins Scott Tallal to discuss this Showtime series.” Dave starts off by explaining how the world was looking for a Fred Rogers-style character who is innately good (1:05) and the differences between the various biographical projects and the inspiration for this fictional character (1:58). He explains his personal reasoning for giving his lead character, Jeff Pickles, so many dramatic hurdles (3:05). Dave delves into how “Kidding” came about, starting with his job as a writer on “Weeds” (3:56). Searching for another satisfying project, he ended up writing something for himself (4:24) with Jim Carrey in mind (4:52). Dave describes the journey “Kidding” went on as it was developed, passed around town, green-lit, and paused (5:24) before finding a unique way to get the script into Jim Carrey’s orbit (8:04). Now in season 2, Dave explains how the show has grown and found its footing (9:32). He reviews plot points and the magic in making them (11:12). Dave discusses how in season 2 the backstories of the characters are deepened (13:03) and dives into Catherine Keener’s role (14:32). He talks about the creative ways the writers found to explore the themes of the season (15:07). Dave gives a rundown of the writers room (17:45) and reveals their creative process (18:36). He describes the atmosphere on set (20:58) and explains a particularly interesting shoot day (22:57). He admits that he prefers television as a writer’s medium (26:08) and revels in the creative opportunity he has found himself in (27:28) Learn more about Hollywood Unscripted and host Scott Tallal: https://www.curtco.com/hollywoodunscripted And follow us: Facebook: https//www.facebook.com/curtcomedia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curtcomedia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/curtcomedia A CurtCo Media Production https://www.curtco.com

欢迎收听大话说电影， 本周老章和包子讨论的是了两部今年早期的电影作品：骡子 The Mule 两大无猜 Always Be My Maybe。这部由东木制片的《The Mule》将聚焦一位名叫Leo Sharp的二战老兵，他为墨西哥贩毒集团锡那罗亚运送毒品长达十年之久，2011年在用一辆破卡车运送价值300万美元毒品穿越密歇根州的时候被捕，当时他已经90岁高龄，后来他的律师坚称Sharp是因为老年痴呆而被人利用，最后Sharp只被判入狱三年。 早在2014年，Imperative Entertainment从《纽约时报》买下了一篇讲述Sharp故事的文章，并计划拍成电影，当时一度传出导演敲定为《匪帮传奇》《毒液》的鲁本·弗雷斯彻。 据悉，《The Mule》将由华纳和Imperative Entertainment联合制作。曾与伊斯特伍德合作《老爷车》的尼克·施恩克执笔的第一版剧本，《单身毒妈》和《政局边缘》的编剧Dave Holstein进行了最终改写。《Always Be My Maybe》说得是青梅竹马的好友莎夏和马库斯闹翻了，并且 15 年都没说过话。莎夏成为了洛杉矶的名厨，回到家乡旧金山开了一家餐厅，就在这里，她遇到了老朋友 — 一位快乐、知足的音乐家，他一直与父母同住并为父亲打工。尽管两人都不情愿和好，但他们很快就发现彼此之间还存在旧的火花，或许还擦出了一些新火花。特别客串基努里维斯！迪士尼的最新版动画重拍，《狮子王》，在影评解禁后现在反应比预期低很多，现有的烂番茄评分只有58%。这会是迪士尼的一记警钟吗？福尔摩斯电影的第三集在去年被华纳正式宣布后，现在定下导演是最近出品了《Rocket ManMan》的Dexter Fletcher。电影仍会带回原班演员阵容，但是第一集和第二集的导演Guy Richie不会继续为新片掌舵。上周刚刚讨论的新闻 - 网飞将降低对原创电影和电视节目的投入之后，本周爆料的新闻是网飞大手笔($200M)投资电影《Red Notice》，这部动作悬疑片主演包括Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot和Ryan Reynolds。这部片子由Rawson Marshall Thurber导演，本来是由环球公司出品，但是现在转手成为了网飞的项目。电影计划上映时间是2020年。
El aclamado director Michel Gondry y el actor Jim Carrey se unen para esta serie tan cómica como extraña, melancólica y excéntrica a la vez. Pero ojo, que el creador es Dave Holstein, el que fuera guionista durante muchos años de 'Weeds'. Pero, vamos al lío: los agentes Mikel Labastida, Áurea Ortiz y David Brieva vuelven acompañados por un nuevo agente especial: el historietista, ilustrador y creador audiovisual Manuel Gimeno.En este nuevo episodio hablamos de una serie muy peculiar y distinta. Gondry ha construido los decorados y ha dado forma y mundo a la serie de Holstein. Un universo que funciona directamente con el formato de esta serie y con su protagonista, el peculiar Jim Carrey.Si te gustó y gusta 'El fin de la comedia' de nuestro querido Ignatius Farray, no te puedes perder 'Kidding'.
Mike welcomes Max on the phone from Nashville. Mike, Max and Shane discuss the birth of Mike’s daughter Winona and feedback to The Pedestal Podcast. Judy Greer (“Kidding,” “I Don’t Know What You Know Me From”) tells Mike about self-awareness, finding success, framing her position in the industry, directing “A Happening of Monumental Proportions” and working with Jim Carrey. Dave Holstein (“Kidding,” “Weeds”) tells Mike about his family connection to the TV industry, working his way up, pitching his show, a writer’s process, pursuing Jim Carrey, taking risks and having control. For dessert, Shane interviews a hair loss educator to find out if he’s balding.
"Kidding" creator Dave Holstein talks existential crisis with Jim Carrey.
