Podcasts about Fade out

What makes a musician “the best”—flashy solos, bulletproof tone, or the quiet excellence of a session pro who lifts every track they touch? We dig into that question with a fresh list of country's standout guitarists, then pressure-test the names you know—Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley—against a studio titan who's played on nearly everything: Brent Mason. Along the way, we break down how electric and acoustic roles really differ, why Telecasters and chicken-pickin' still define a lane of country, and how pedals and signal chains can even shape a vocal when the studio gets experimental.The conversation widens fast. We unpack timely headlines and onstage signals—setlist swaps, lyric tweaks, rings on or off—and why fans read those choices as chapters in a public diary. There's tour news, a TV series blending arena stages with backstage pressure, and a reminder that new voices rise from multiple paths now: TikTok bursts, honest songwriting pivots, and the right producer pairing at the right studio. If you care about where country music is headed, these threads matter.Then we hand the mic to our listeners for a high-stakes bracket: the greatest song ever used in a movie. Purple Rain surges. Eye of the Tiger swings hard. But the final crown lands on I Will Always Love You—a rare union of perfect song, perfect voice, and an unforgettable film moment. We close with chart spotlights (mainstream and indie), a quick-hit review of tracks worth your time, and a pointer to our playlist so you can hear everything we discuss.LinksJeff King: https://jayfranze.com/episode6/Carl Tatz: https://jayfranze.com/episode24/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/MaKenzie Phipps: https://jayfranze.com/episode73/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Jonny James: https://jayfranze.com/episode171/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ The Jay Franze Show: https://thejayfranzeshow.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Reach Out: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Mailbag: https://jayfranze.com/mailbag/ Question of the Day: https://jayfranze.com/question/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Stand Out or Fade Out: https://jayfranze.com/books/

A fan hug mid-song. A chart where Megan Moroney owns the moment. Dolly Parton's quiet resilience. We chase the heartbeat of country right now and get brutally practical about how artists truly break through—and stay there—when the spotlight moves on.We start with a listener-fueled rundown of the Top 12 women in country, using each pick to explore story, sound, and why certain songs stick. From Gabby Barrett's early radio push to Trisha Yearwood's six-year return and Miranda Lambert's new edge, we dig into visuals, production choices, and the fan-first decisions that build true loyalty. Lainey Wilson's “walk offstage to hug a day-one” moment turns into a masterclass on brand gravity: authenticity you can feel from the cheap seats.Then we pivot into the mechanics: mainstream and indie charts, “country club” production vs band-in-the-room grit, and how sonic choices align—or clash—with the story you're selling. That sets the stage for an on-air deep dive into Jay's new book, Stand Out or Fade Out. Expect tactical advice on unifying your online image, building trust through consistency, and the proven cover-to-original strategy for short-form video. We also go inside the studio: producers vs. engineers, who actually elevates an artist's voice, and the small, unglamorous moves—like an intern who quietly finished painting a wall—that earn the big breaks.Threaded through it all: Dolly's health updates and record-setting chart legacy, a guitar pick gifted mid-show, and the reminder that reputation beats raw talent when careers get real. If you want a roadmap that blends heart, craft, and practical steps you can use tomorrow, this one's for you.Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ The Jay Franze Show: https://thejayfranzeshow.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Reach Out: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Mailbag: https://jayfranze.com/mailbag/ Question of the Day: https://jayfranze.com/question/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Stand Out or Fade Out: https://jayfranze.com/books/

Big lights, bigger grit. That's the pulse running through our conversation with country-rock artist Jonny James—a former college football player who built a million-stream career the hard way: booking his own shows, designing his own merch, and recording between a home base in Indiana and sessions in Nashville. Jonny takes us inside the moments that shaped his sound, from pop-punk roots and Eric Church's rule-bending to the raw ache of writing Shotgun in the Sky after losing his father-in-law. The result is a voice that straddles red dirt swagger and rock energy, and a live show that pivots from intimate acoustic to full-throttle electric depending on the room.We dig into process, not just polish. Jonny explains why melody usually comes first, how wordplay turns scenes into songs, and what 75 Hard has done for his voice and stage stamina—pre-show runs, no drinks until the last chord, and sharper, stronger sets. He shares the origin of his fan-favorite baseball jersey “cape,” the realities of opening for legends from Night Ranger to the Oak Ridge Boys, and the art of reading a crowd without losing yourself. Family is the throughline: coaching early baseball after a midnight gig, carving creative time around mill shifts, and teaching his kids that work beats talent when talent doesn't work.Then there's the whiskey. Born from a smoked old fashioned and refined through relentless tastings, Jonny's 80-proof bottle carries applewood-cherry smoke and a subtle cinnamon edge—no syrupy shortcuts. We talk partnerships, scaling from local distilleries to full ownership, and the grind of distribution as an independent spirits brand. It's the same DIY ethos as the music: build the thing, earn the fans, keep going when the easy path says stop.Episode LinksJonny James: https://www.officialjonnyjames.com/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ The Jay Franze Show: https://thejayfranzeshow.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Reach Out: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Mailbag: https://jayfranze.com/mailbag/ Question of the Day: https://jayfranze.com/question/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Stand Out or Fade Out: https://jayfranze.com/books/

Feeling invisible at home and work, Peggy decides to truly disappear — but her absence leaves a bigger hole in Arlen than anyone expected. Can Hank and the gang bring her back before she fades out for good?

A trunk ride with Billy Gibbons, a pair of “blessed” boots, and the moment a lyric became a band name—this one has stories. We sit down with American Mile's Eugene Rice for a fast, funny, and unfiltered tour through the making of a modern Southern rock band built on grit, harmony, and a never-quit work ethic. From a Vermont town of 1,500 to SoCal stages, Eugene traces the path: sleeping in rehearsal spaces, selling a bike to buy an RV, and logging 200+ dates a year—often in four-hour marathons that would break most bands. He breaks down how “American Mile” emerged mid-take with producer Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), why a bison ended up on the merch table, and how thrift-store scarves became a signature stage move that also solved the hated-iPad problem.We get into sound and influence—Allman Brothers and Skynyrd bones with modern threads from The Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke. Eugene spotlights the B3 and harmony vocals as secret sauce, plus the rotating “fifth member” who steps in for showcases. Then it gets practical: the economics of LA gigs, the reality of casino anchors, and why a vintage guitar day job keeps the dream alive and the tone honest. He opens the hood on the business too—band democracy, equal pay, and a vesting path to ownership that rewards the grind—while telling road-war stories about blown control arms, stolen catalytic converters, and welding fixes that saved shows.Underneath the laughs and lore sits a clear message: the American dream is still there if you work for it. Mentors matter. Systems matter. Saying yes matters. If you're building a band, a creative career, or any longshot, you'll leave with playbook-level tactics and renewed fight.

Nashville's songwriting community suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Brett James, a prolific songwriter who gave up medical school to pursue his passion for music. With 27 number one hits among his 500+ released songs, Brett's legacy includes classics like "Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood and "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney. His story reminds us how the unexpected paths we choose can lead to extraordinary impact.We dive into the ongoing story of Farm Aid, Willie Nelson's fundraiser supporting farming communities facing economic pressure. The recent Minneapolis concert featured legends like Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan, continuing a tradition that has responded to agricultural crises since the 1980s. Similarly, Luke Bryan's Farm Tour celebrates a decade of bringing music to rural America while collecting food donations for those in need.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore artists who sound like others or from different eras. From Lainey Wilson echoing Miranda Lambert to Harry Connick Jr. channeling Frank Sinatra, these musical connections reveal how influence travels through generations of performers. Listeners share their own observations, creating a compelling tapestry of how country music continually evolves while honoring its roots.Current artist updates include Lainey Wilson canceling a show due to vocal issues, Brett Eldredge announcing his holiday Glow Live Tour, and Thomas Rhett expecting his fifth child.

What happens when a childhood nickname becomes a musical identity? Josh Gale and Sean from the band Gale Byrd join us to share how football fields in Texas, marsh sunsets in Charleston, and the everyday struggles of marriage have shaped their distinctive sound.The conversation dives deep into the creative heartbeat of this Charleston-based band. Josh reveals how his football nickname "Gale Bird" eventually became their band name, while Sean explains the meticulous production process that transforms their raw inspiration into polished tracks. Most touching is the story of how Josh's wife Melissa, silenced by childhood criticism, found her voice again through marriage and now stands as a vital part of their musical identity.Charleston's natural beauty plays a starring role in their creative process. The marshlands, harbor sunsets, and coastal atmosphere provide both inspiration and therapy for the band members. This connection to place infuses their music with an authentic spirit that fans immediately recognize. After a decade-long hiatus to focus on raising families, Gale Bird has returned with a renewed sense of purpose, crafting songs that speak directly to the heart of adult relationships.Their upcoming single "Roses" carries a powerful message: "Don't hold your roses till the funeral, take every chance to tell her she's beautiful." Written nearly a year before recent tragic events made headlines, the song's reminder about life's fragility feels uncannily timely. Through honest storytelling and melodic craftsmanship, Gale Bird creates music that encourages listeners to cherish relationships while navigating life's complexities.Episode LinksGale Bird: https://galebird.com/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ The Jay Franze Show: https://thejayfranzeshow.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Reach Out: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Mailbag: https://jayfranze.com/mailbag/ Question of the Day: https://jayfranze.com/question/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Stand Out or Fade Out: https://jayfranze.com/books/

When does a country star get "canceled," and does it even work? In this eye-opening episode, Jay and Tiffany dive into eight notorious country music controversies—from Morgan Wallen's racial slur captured on a doorbell camera to Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13-year-old cousin (which rock music rejected but country music... accepted?). Their candid exploration reveals the strange double standards that exist within different music communities.Beyond cancel culture, we uncover a startling radio industry revelation: 38 of the top 40 most-played country songs weren't even released this year. This leads to a fascinating discussion about why music executives consistently prefer safe, proven sounds over innovation, and how artists like Garth Brooks and Zach Topp initially struggled because they didn't sound like "everything else on the radio."The conversation shifts to exciting industry developments with Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks preparing a Christmas duet album, Jake Owen returning to old-school country sounds, and rising star McCoy Moore who received life-changing advice from Luke Combs when he was just 16. We also highlight Hardy's darker artistic direction with his aptly-named upcoming album "Country, Country, Country."Our question of the day—"Who is an artist more people should know about?"—sparks passionate responses from listeners, with multiple nominations for Chapel Heart and several mentions of previous show guests deserving wider recognition. The episode concludes with thought-provoking mailbag questions addressing everything from live album authenticity to AI's growing role in songwriting, where Jay reveals industry secrets about how "live" recordings are often doctored and fixed before release.Whether you're a dedicated country fan or simply curious about the inner workings of the music industry, this episode offers honest insights into what really happens behind Nashville's curtain.

The lines between success and snubs blur in our deep dive into the 2025 CMA Award nominations. Morgan Wallen simultaneously celebrates three wins while feeling overlooked in other categories, perfectly capturing the industry's complex relationship with commercial success. Miranda Lambert makes a triumphant return with her first album in five years, while Jelly Roll and Post Malone find themselves surprisingly excluded from major categories despite their massive impact on the genre.We explore Nashville's reputation as "the 10-year town," where overnight success is rarely the reality. Jay shares a compelling story about an intern who painted his way to opportunity, demonstrating how persistence and initiative often matter more than talent alone in this industry. The conversation resonates with anyone pursuing creative dreams against long odds.Our Question of the Day sparks passionate debate as listeners share the songs they believe tell the best stories. From Harry Chapin's heartbreaking "Cat's in the Cradle" to Billy Joel's narrative masterpiece "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," we rank the ultimate storytelling songs with help from our engaged audience. The discussion reveals how deeply these musical narratives connect with listeners across generations.The show rounds out with fascinating country music developments – Dolly Parton and Zac Brown's collaboration, Jason Aldean's candid reflections on post-Vegas trauma, and the MTV VMAs finally recognizing country music after 40 years.

Happy Passover; blessings and peace to you. -blu. INT. ALIEN SPACESHIP - DAY The cramped, metallic interior of an alien spacecraft. Two bizarre, multi-limbed ALIENS are locked in a furious argument. The sounds are not words, but a cacophony of distorted electronic noises. ALIEN 1 (A series of rapid, high-pitched BLIPS and WHIRS) ALIEN 2 (A deep, guttural GROWL followed by a drawn-out, wavering TONE) ALIEN 1 BLIM-BLIM-BLIM-BLIM— FLAU—FLAU—FLAU! ALIEN 2 —————EeeeeEeeeeeEEEEEEEEENNMMMMMMMMMNGGGGGGGGG!!! ALIEN 1 Wfuh! Alien 2 makes a highly offensive hand gesture. Alien 1 responds with a highly offensive gesture using another body part. Suddenly, RACHEL DRATCH, dressed impeccably and radiating an air of cool detachment, enters the scene and calmly observes the arguing aliens. RACHEL DRATCH (To herself, almost a whisper) Well, this is… something. CUT TO: INT. ROCKEFELLER PLAZA - SUNNI BLU'S OFFICE - DAY SUNNI BLU, sharp and impeccably dressed, stares with wide eyes at a ridiculously large ELECTRICITY BILL. Sunlight streams through the massive windows overlooking Rockefeller Plaza. SUNNI BLU (Muttering) Since when did keeping the lights on cost this much? Absorbing ConEd was supposed to *save* money. Suddenly, a disembodied VOICE echoes in the room. VOICE (V.O.) You will fail this test. SUNNI BLU (Startled) There's a test?! What test?! VOICE (V.O.) It came with a lesson— you didn't think there was going to be a test. CUT TO: EXT. THE LONELY ISLAND CLIFF - DAY ANDY (ALEKSI), dressed in surprisingly clean white robes despite the precarious location, stands on the edge of a towering cliff overlooking a vast ocean. He takes a running leap off the edge. ANDY —NO… He plummets downwards for a beat. Then, with a gentle WHOOSH, he lands perfectly upright on the sandy beach below. ANDY (CONT'D) I told you I could stick the landing. ALEKSI (V.O.) It wasn't always The Lonely Island… CUT TO: INT. HEAVENLY WAITING ROOM - DAY ALEKSI (ANDY SANDBERG), now with subtle, mischievous angelic wings, winks directly at the camera. ALEKSI guardian angel. TINA (O.S.) Whatever. Tina FEY, also with small, slightly more exasperated-looking wings, enters. ALEKSI winks extra harder at her. ALEKSI Hello. TINA Oh my God! ALEKSI I wish! At this point, I wish— unfortunately, those aren't the types of wishes I'm in charge of overseeing. A large, ornate PACKAGE appears unexpectedly at TINA's feet. TINA (CONT'D) When something appears unexpectedly at your doorstep, it's called a windfall, right? ALEKSI Yeah. I think that's what this is. TINA And when it's something you really need, it's a gift from God. Isn't it? ALEKSI Something like that. TINA Honestly, I thought it was just a gentler way of letting me know I was ugly— after a particularly horrible photo opportunity at the airport. ALEKSI —wow. TINA I had just been up for 72 plus hours straight and only slept something like 4 or 5–but of course— FLASHBACK: INT. AIRPORT SECURITY - EARLY MORNING A haggard and disheveled TINA sits slumped on a lopsided BEANBAG in the middle of the bustling security line. Bright lights shine in her face as various machines WHIR and BEEP, scanning her. TINA (V.O.) This was staggered sleep from atop a lopsided beanbag. TINA (Muttering) Agh, God! TINA (V.O.) I've been getting used to having lights shined in my face for awhile now. Still, I was not so ready for a full work up of my biometrics in this early morning crusade to Los Angeles. A stern-faced AGENT approaches her. AGENT The Agency thought you were terminally ill. TINA Terminally? Geez. The AGENT clears his throat. AGENT Consider this as, ah— Hm. Ojo translates directly to Eye. Doesn't it? TINA I see you. AGENT Undoubtedly. —an incentives. TINA I don't need anymore incentives, Captain. I need income. AGENT Oh, I'm the captain now? TINA You were always the captain. AGENT This is news to me. TINA News to the News. That's something new. AGENT Nothing is new. TINA But it's news to you. Sarcasm. I need a paycheck. AGENT Try looking pretty. TINA I tried. It didn't work. AGENT Try…harder. TINA (V.O.) New York had put spots and marks on my faces— a broken blood vessel from fighting some demonized African girl— and I'm sure that was what she was, after all… FLASHBACK: INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT TINA is struggling in a bizarre fight with a shadowy FIGURE. The scene has a surreal, “As Seen On TV” commercial feel. VOICEOVER (V.O.) Who tries to kill you, and then does their hair to be more like yours? That's major weird. TINA Major Tom. SHADOWY FIGURE Yeah. TINA (V.O.) Then again, since moving to New York… Oh, Holy shit. Everything is major weird. A shimmering PORTAL opens in the middle of the apartment. TITLE CARD: AS SEEN ON TV: PART III TINA (Staring at the portal) Where the fuck is part one and two?! SHADOWY FIGURE Maybe it starts at three! TINA Nothing “starts at three” SHADOWY FIGURE Maybe it's like Star Wars! TINA It's not like Star Wars! A CATACLYSMIC SPACESHIP COLLISION and EXPLOSION sound effect. TINA (CONT'D) …it's not like Star Wars. SHADOWY FIGURE Uh huh. It's better than star wars. A giant collective GASP is heard. TINA -_- *the world stops* TINA (CONT'D) -_- Suddenly, all sound ceases. TINA (CONT'D) Woah. That's different. SHADOWY FIGURE There: I fixed overpopulation. TINA But— SHADOWY FIGURE But what? I fixed it. TINA But— weren't some of those fans, also fans of this show. SHADOWY FIGURE Yeah, so? TINA Like an overwhelming majority. SHADOWY FIGURE Majority? Yeah— they're— These are nerds. TINA Fuck. Right. So where did you send them?! SHADOWY FIGURE Uh. Only to heaven. TINA What does that mean. SHADOWY FIGURE Heaven for any Star Wars fan— TINA Where is that. SHADOWY FIGURE The world where all of that stuff— is real. TINA What—what do you mean by that. SHADOWY FIGURE I sent them to Star World. TINA That sounds so fucking gay. SHADOWY FIGURE Cause it is. TINA Fuck. Oh, that's right— Non-star wars fans are sometimes Cynics Read: Major fucking assholes. I guess I fall into that category, eh— a little bit? SHADOWY FIGURE No duh. TINA “No duh.” What part of the nineties was your heyday? SHADOWY FIGURE All of them. TINA Jesus, Tina. You might be ancient. SHADOWY FIGURE I'm dust. TINA Hey— What. Why are you my assistant now. SHADOWY FIGURE Assistant? No. I'm your executive producer. TINA ExeCUTEive producer— you do put the cute in that. SHADOWY FIGURE (Not being cute, unamused, but still very cute) Ugh. Fine. SUDAKIS. JASON SUDAKIS appears CONT'D. And nobody cares, of course Because she is formerly gorgeous (Not no more) I'm standing on four paws I'm studying your laws If this was your office I'm your boss And I caught you taking your clothes off You're boring, I started to doze off Don't call me no more, hoe So now your broke You started a war slamming doors Because you can't find no more work Hoe Karen and Becky are probably blessings Cause they do not get me But I'm doing better and yet They are starting to sweat cause I'm starting to flex They're slamming the door They're starting a war They never been homeless before Or hungry and poor But no peace of mind? It's fine I'll probably find in time That they crossed the line And get left behind The red dots are trying To plot I'm crying a lot, I'm out of the box, jack I spring up but I do not pop I'm talking to God, He's telling you off, I'm calling him “her”, She's telling me “Sure, I'm not really sure, But I got the cure for your disease The God of Mercy, Mercy Me I got my first Mercedes in 1993 Look at me. CUT TO: INT. BACKSTAGE - NIGHT A very tall, redheaded SHOWMAN (CONAN O'BRIEN, though slightly off) has just finished a days-long BENDER. He is not the polished figure America knows. He shakily lines up a mysterious white substance on a grimy surface. CONAN (Muttering) Just… need… a little… pick-me-up. A mysterious FIGURE appears silently behind him. FIGURE Feeling better, Conan? Conan looks up, bleary-eyed, barely lifting his head. CONAN (Slurring) I don't know what you're saying. CONAN (V.O.) Apparently, that was the line, and I felt like I was crossing into a strange territory with this, one Conan O'Brien, and almost absolutely certain I was spelling his name wrong, but continued to do so anyway— one, because I refused to look him up, and two— because if ever I entered into a plot hole deep enough the mechanics of my own knowledge of hyper and multidimensional space travels to explain, then having a Conan O'Brien and a Conan O'Brian might become useful. Today, I want useful, because I wanted to go back to sleep with enough energy to still wake up with enough energy to run a mile on the full sized treadmill downstairs. Then, I had day-people things to do— and for whatever reason, this seemed like one of them. It was a welcome deviation from— A boisterous, red-faced MAN stumbles into the room. MAN O'Fallon, you old coot! CONAN (Confused) Oh year. MAN I told you the Irish were coming. *the fighting Irish. CONAN Ah yes, the fighting Irish— CONAN (V.O.) Apparently, this was some centuries long kind of battle between ancient clans//and so, I did my very best o find my way out of it, until A fierce, heavily tattooed WOMAN bursts in. WOMAN MUNROE!!!!! (V.O.) —i was found out. My surname was Scottish, but nonetheless, it was a fied older than borders were, anyway. CUT TO: EXT. MUSIC FESTIVAL - DAY A chaotic, vibrant music festival. ANDY (ALEKSI) approaches a gruff-looking SECURITY GUARD. ANDY Yo. SECURITY GUARD What's good. ANDY What's your deal with the KKK, anyway? SECURITY GUARD (Scoffs) I like them. They're funny. ANDY They— want to kill you. SECURITY GUARD That doesn't make them any less funny. In fact, now they might be more funny. ANDY Are you serious? SECURITY GUARD No, I'm funny. I like them blonde, Tall, dark skinned, Woah, scratch that. Narrow down my picks I like them Icelandic And Slavic Oh dear I like them impossible to topple over, No, God— Nevermind; I like them whiter than light snow on a cold night There you go I like them strong— But only in thought forms Keyboard warrior, But I'd like to get her in a choke hold So she'll stop snoring Oh God No Lord— I should win an award for this song I should win an award for this song I should win an award for this song MORGAN FREEMAN (V.O.) ANOTHER nomination. ANDY No way. This is crazy. ANDY spots SUNNI BLU in the crowd, looking stressed. ANDY (CONT'D) SUNNI, Do you have the academy on your payroll? SUNNI BLU (Shouting over the music) Ask the accountant? A stereotypical SUPER JEW ACCOUNTANT, complete with a large yarmulke and clutching a ledger, scurries past. SUPER JEW ACCOUNTANT actually, surprisingly, I think you're on theirs! See! SUNNI BLU Seriously?!! That's not anti semitic at all. (It's not, it's pro-semitic) More Jews and Rosecurucians More Jews and Rosicrucians! I took a bite out of you, And now I want my life back! Sharks. (And surfboards) More news and prosecutions More blues and resurrections More impossible erections Interject— —I should probably call a doctor. It's been way more than four hours. I have way more than four houses— I've way more than four flowers, I've way more than four dollars— I've way more than four collars with sparkles on them. I wear cargo pants for the ride home though. No homo. CUT TO: INT. HEADQUARTERS INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY CC (NATALIE PORTMAN, though not explicitly stated) enters the stark interrogation room. A MAN sits at a metal table, wrists chained. CC sits down opposite him, calm and composed. MAN I… am a trained assassin. CC That's— impressive. MAN There are people who want to murder you. CC Now I'm impressed with myself. MAN Is that so. CC Yes! Ah. Delighted, actually. MAN Who are you? CC “A charismatic number” writes the New York Times review of my most recently cherished endeavor. Which means for once in your life you might have actually been on time. Or just late enough, or just early enough, or— you know. It starts where I get there, or they were just waiting for me anyway. You know. Or you don't. MAN I don't. CC Then you should have plenty of time for self study between now and your execution. MAN Hah! My execution?! That's where this is heading. CC What about yours? MAN What about it? CC Have or haven't you been following along that this is what I've ultimately desired. My suffering ends in peace with knowing that you, too, shall cease to exist. INT. OBSERVATION ROOM - DAY Other DETECTIVES watch the interrogation through a one-way mirror, their faces grim. DETECTIVE 1 What could possibly be going on in there? DETECTIVE 2 Anything. DETECTIVE 3 I wonder what she's saying. DETECTIVE 1 Anything. DETECTIVE 2 Looks like she has him cornered. DETECTIVE 3 Maybe. DETECTIVE 1 Jesus, can you speak in anything more than one word sentences. DETECTIVE 2 No. BACK IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM, a heavy silence hangs in the air. MAN …Natalie? CC You wanted “CC” so I'm “CC” The MAN strains against his restraints. MAN Who who's this?! CC (V.O.) Suddenly my love affair with words and art and theatrical thoroughfare was coming to an end. This was something of a disaster set against the backdrop of a really real world— a world that seemed not to want me in it. CUT TO: EXT. NEW YORK CITY STREET - DAY LIZ LEMON (TINA FEY) walks down a crowded street, furiously dialing her cellphone. LIZ LEMON (Into phone, angry) Hello? CUT TO: EXT. MARDI GRAS PARADE - NEW ORLEANS - DAY TRACY JORDAN (also TINA FEY, in elaborate Mardi Gras attire) is on a vibrant parade float, throwing beads to the cheering crowd. His phone rings. TRACY JORDAN (Into phone, jovial) WHERE ARE YOU?! I'm on my way to the parade! LIZ LEMON (O.S.) I'm AT the parade! Where are YOU? TRACY JORDAN Not that parade! Mardi Gras! LIZ LEMON (O.S.) MARDI GRAS?! TRACY JORDAN Yeah! LIZ LEMON (O.S.) WHY?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A FLOAT— In NEW YORK CITY— In 22 MINUTES. TRACY JORDAN Don't worry, I'll be there. LIZ LEMON (O.S.) YOU'LL BE THERE?! You're at a parade! In New Orleans! TRACY JORDAN It's Mardi Gras! LIZ LEMON (O.S.) I KNOW ITS— Tracy hangs up. He grins at the crowd and throws more beads.

Title: The Banana Anomaly Logline: When sentient, aggressive bananas take over a small town, two unlikely heroes must overcome their bickering and fears to stop the potassium-fueled chaos. Characters: BERNICE (30s): A fastidious, somewhat neurotic librarian. RICK (30s): A boisterous, overly confident (but secretly insecure) used car salesman. Scene: INT. SMALL TOWN LIBRARY - DAY SOUND of frantic shushing BERNICE, with her hair in a tight bun and glasses perched precariously on her nose, stamps a book with excessive force. The library is mostly empty. RICK bursts through the doors, sweating and slightly disheveled. He holds a slightly bruised banana in his hand. Bernice finally looks up, her expression a mixture of annoyance and disbelief. Rick slams the banana on the counter. It twitches. Suddenly, the front windows of the library EXPLODE in a shower of glass. Dozens of bananas, some bruised, some green, some disturbingly large, fly into the library. They are... advancing. A banana leaps onto the counter, hissing. Rick grabs a nearby book - "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" - and smashes it. The banana splatters. They run towards the back of the library, dodging flying fruit. INT. LIBRARY ARCHIVES - CONTINUOUS The archives are dark and dusty. Bernice and Rick barricade themselves behind a rolling shelf. INT. LIBRARY BASEMENT - LATER Bernice and Rick, armed with makeshift weapons (a fire extinguisher for Rick, a medieval mace from a historical display for Bernice), cautiously enter the basement. It's cold and dark. They find the freezer. Inside, rows upon rows of preserved fruits and vegetables. And at the back, a large, industrial-sized freezer unit. Bernice examines the control panel, her brow furrowed. SOUND of crashing from upstairs Bernice frantically pushes buttons. Wires spark. The freezer unit sputters to life, a cold wind emanating from it. Suddenly, the basement door bursts open. A horde of bananas, led by an enormous, mutated "King Banana," charges in. Rick holds them off with the fire extinguisher, slipping and sliding on banana peels. Bernice finally gets the freezer door open. Rick, dodging banana projectiles, rushes to her side. Together, they heave the door open. The King Banana leaps towards them. Rick grabs the fire extinguisher and sprays the King Banana directly into its face. It recoils, momentarily stunned. Bernice and Rick push the freezer door wide open, creating a powerful gust of freezing air. The advancing bananas hesitate, then begin to slow, their movements becoming sluggish. They scramble inside, pulling the heavy door shut just as the King Banana reaches them. His hand gets frozen in the door. INT. LIBRARY BASEMENT - FREEZER - CONTINUOUS Bernice and Rick stand shivering in the freezer, surrounded by frozen fruits and vegetables. The sounds of the frozen bananas banging on the door can be heard. Bernice manages a small smile. FADE OUT. Title: The Banana Anomaly Logline: When sentient, aggressive bananas take over the world, two unlikely heroes – a fastidious librarian and a boisterous used car salesman – must overcome their bickering and fears to stop the potassium-fueled chaos before it leads to a global meltdown. Characters: BERNICE (30s): Now, a brilliant but socially awkward librarian with a hidden talent for ancient languages and a crippling fear of anything sticky. RICK (30s): A boisterous, overly confident (but secretly insecure) used car salesman with a surprising knowledge of conspiracy theories and a knack for outlandish problem-solving. DR. ANNA REILLY (40s): A world-renowned botanist, eccentric and driven, who holds the key to the banana anomaly's origins. GENERAL STONE (50s): A gruff, no-nonsense military leader who believes in solving problems with maximum firepower. Scene: INT. LIBRARY BASEMENT - FREEZER - CONTINUOUS Bernice, Rick, and Dr. Reilly stand shivering in the freezer, surrounded by frozen fruits and vegetables. The sounds of the frozen bananas banging on the door can be heard, though muffled. The cold air is thick with condensation. Bernice and Rick huddle together for warmth, the adrenaline of their escape and the shared trauma having forged an unexpected bond. Bernice manages a small, genuine smile. Rick's eyes soften. He reaches out, brushing a stray piece of ice from Bernice's hair. Bernice blushes, her cheeks flushing pink even in the freezing temperatures. Their eyes meet. There's a beat of silence, the only sound the muffled thumping of the frozen bananas and the hum of the freezer. Rick steps closer, his gaze intense. Bernice doesn't back away. He reaches for her hand. Her skin is cold, but she doesn't pull away. Their fingers intertwine. A spark of something real, something tender, passes between them. He leans in closer. Their faces are inches apart. The moment is thick with unspoken desire. Suddenly, the freezer door bursts open with a BANG. DR. ANNA REILLY stands in the doorway, holding a metal tray piled high with what appear to be... french fries. But they are limp, soggy, and utterly unappetizing. Her face is a mask of utter exasperation. Bernice and Rick jump apart, startled and flustered. The romantic moment is shattered. Dr. Reilly throws her hands up in the air, the soggy fries nearly flying off the tray. She storms further into the freezer, muttering about the incompetence of the military and the importance of a proper starch-to-grease ratio. Bernice and Rick stare at each other for a long moment, the heat of their almost-kiss now replaced by the awkward chill of the interruption. Bernice hesitates, then a small smile returns to her face. FADE OUT. Hulur. Uh. Helur. Are you Hurtz McGurkin? {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project.™] COPYRIGHT © THE FESTIVAL PROJECT 2018-2025 | THE COMPLEX COLLECTIVE. © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © -Ū.

The conversation revolves around the graphic novel 'Where the Body Was' by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. The participants discuss the various themes and characters in the book, including the slice-of-life narrative, the tragedy of life, and the interlocking character stories. They also explore the use of sex in the story and the breaking of the fourth wall by some characters. The artwork and coloring of the book are praised, as well as the depth and relatability of the characters. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the mystery surrounding the doctor's motive for killing his wife and the recurring theme of characters hiding in closets in Brubaker's work. The conversation covers various themes in the graphic novel 'The Fade Out' by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. These themes include the use of explicit scenes, the portrayal of characters' desires and fantasies, the concept of reinvention, the exploration of missed opportunities and regrets, the significance of the private investigator character, the tight storytelling and significance of every element in the book, the underappreciation of graphic novels as a genre, and the potential for adaptation. The conversation also includes discussions about other works by Brubaker and Phillips, the possibility of a TV adaptation, and personal anecdotes.Send us a messageSupport the showFilm Chewing Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2235582/followLens Chewing on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lenschewingSpeculative Speculations: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/speculative-speculationsSupport the podcast: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7EQ7XWFUP6K9EJoin Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/?via=steve-l
