When you can survive the meat grinder of the news cycle AND late night comedy for over 1600 episodes....you must be pretty good at your job.On this episode we go into the writers room of one of the most successful late night TV shows of the modern age, welcome to 'The Daily Show'.It's never 'old hat' for head writer Dan Amira who has been nominated (and won) at the Emmys on multiple occasions. We talk about the evolution of show over the years, the stress of having to throw out something you've already written based on some news that just came down the wire, the importance of research and working on his dream job.'The Daily Show' airs on Comedy Central in the States, CTV here in Canada and shows up the next day on Paramount Plus everywhere.
You can do more then you can imagine in a short amount of time....On this episode we are looking at even more Emmy nominated stuff as we go behind the scenes on one of the bigger and bolder episodes of a sitcom that this critic has ever seen. It's time for 'The Righteous Gemstones'.In Season 4, Episode 1, "Prelude" takes us to the height of the civil war where Elijah Gemstone (Bradley Cooper) receives a divine wake up call.It's only 39 minutes long, but it's as busy and loaded as a feature film and a big part of that is cinematographer Paul Daley as this is a big and loud (and Emmy Nominated) episode.We got to talk to Paul about coming on to the job, the freedom he had to give this a big and bold feel while shooting mostly out in the wilderness and so very much more....Catch up on 'The Righteous Gemstones; on Crave up here in Canada.
When you are looking into the soul of a rock star things can get a little heavy...On this episode we dive into even more Emmy nominated goodness as we go on stage to get a little insight into what makes a rock star with 'Bono: Stories of Surrender'.Bono shares life stories and U2 songs in an intimate show, exploring relationships with family, friends, and faith. Features unseen footage from his Beacon Theatre performances of "Stories of Surrender."Capturing a show like this for the screen can always be a unique challenge which is why director Andrew Dominik and award winning (and Emmy nominated) DP Erik Messerschmidt were up for the challenge.We talked with Erik about coming onto a show like this, the unique way in way they shot it, working with icons and how he stays focused on the job.'Bono: Stories of Surrender' is on Apple + now.
It's just as much about what you don't hear then what you do hear....On this very special episode it's time for some more Emmy nominated fare as we go behind the scenes on one of the more stylish movies to hit one of our favourite streaming services. On Apple+ it's time to go into 'The Gorge'.Two highly-trained operatives (Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy) are appointed to posts in guard towers on opposite sides of a vast and highly classified gorge, protecting the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil that lurks within. They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. When the cataclysmic threat to humanity is revealed to them, they must work together in a test of both their physical and mental strength to keep the secret in the gorge before it's too late.Very much a movie that allows our imaginations to run wild and sound plays a big factor in that. I had the pleasure of talking with the Emmy nominated sound editing/design team to get some insight on the job, the creative payoffs to it and so very much more....'The Gorge' is streaming on Apple+ now.
Sometimes in this racket, you just have to ask questions.When TV shows become pop culture juggernauts you need to look at all areas to get a sense of that secret sauce. Up again for MANY more Emmy's it's time to talk 'Rupaul's Drag Race'.With it having 17 season in and 29 Primetime Emmy's under its belt there is no denying that 'RuPaul's Drag Race has evolved into a cultural phenomenon. But how do you cast for a show like this?Enter Emmy nominated casting director Goloka Bolte to talk about the evolution of the show, the art of casting, what the job entails and so very much more....
