On this week's episode, Vegas CityCast's Rob Kachelriess sits in for the traveling Gemini, and joins Al and producer Rich Johnson at Dom DeMarco's Pizzeria and Wine Bar. Rob tells us about his recent experiences Craftsteak (with Tom Colicchio in the house) and Dominique Ansel Marche (with Dominique Ansel in the house). Rich will share culinary highlights from his road trip from Chicago to Vegas. And Al will tell you about experiences at the openings of Pinky's by Vanderpump and China Mama in Palace Station, judging a cocktail competition in a topless club, and meals at Balla Italian Soul and Carmelitas Mar Tier. (Al will also reveal which Jason Aldean song titled triggered him at the opening of the country star's new Strip bar.) The centerpiece is all about Al's visit to Jive Turkey in the Huntridge neighborhood to interview the dive bar's proprietors, Sam Pulliam and Adam O'Donnell. Also: interviews with Jeff Bauman of Glitter Gulch Tiki, Alexander Ortega of Casa Playa, Palace Station's Lee Torres, Lisa Burney and Albert Scalleat of Dom DeMarco's, Ri Ra's Wally Lang and country star Jason Aldean. And of course, there's some news.
This week I brought on the show, playwright, screenwriter, director, and actor, John Pollono. I wanted to go down the road a little bit about his remarkable journey in the business which expands across theatre and short films. John is one of the founders of the Jabberwocky Theatre Company in 2004 which became the Rogue Machine Theatre in 2008 where he produced his earlier plays. His big break came with his screenplay for the acclaimed biographical drama film, Stronger which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.The screenplay, based on Bauman's memoir Stronger, was number two on the Black List (most-liked "motion picture screenplays not yet produced) in 2016.Stronger, starring multiple award-winning actors, Jake Gyllenhaal, is the inspiring real-life story of Jeff Bauman --- an ordinary man who captured the hearts of his city and the world to become a symbol of hope after surviving but losing his legs in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and must adjust to his new life.This project came along for John right after signing with Los Angelos - based Creative Artists Agency. Producers, Alex Young and Todd Lieberman were already familiar with Pollono's work. And they were on the hunt for something. That was when adapting Stronger became a prospect.At the time, the book was not yet published so he had a chance to review the unpublished book. Producer Scott Silver was looking to mentor a more junior writer for the Stronger film and fortuitously, John was a good fit having grown up 20 minutes from where the characters take place, he was the best candidate for the job. So, with a follow-up pitch, the book's film adaptation screenplay was sold to Lionsgate.Writing Stronger (the film) was a double success for Pollono. Not only was he mentored directly by the incredible Scott Silver and receiving writing directions about theme, structure, etc, but the project brought him some notoriety as well by topping number two on the blacklist a year before production. This interview was a pretty cool conversation and I did not hold back getting John to share all the gems of the business he's learned and fun questions like what it's like working with Frank Darabont and working on the new Hulk Hogan movie currently in production.Enjoy my conversation with John Pollono.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Monday, April 15, 2013 stands as the most chaotic time in Boston's modern history and was the beginning of a traumatic four-day manhunt that shutdown the city.Two home-made pressure cooker bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon twelve seconds apart, filled with enough nails and ball bearings to cause maximum damage. Three people were killed as a direct result of the explosions on Boylston Street that afternoon: 29-year-old restaurant manager, Krystle Campbell, 23-year-old Chinese student Lingzi Lu, and the youngest of the victims, 8-year-old Dorchester boy Martin Richard; 264 others were injured, some lost limbs from the blasts. In the days that followed, MIT Police Officer Sean Collier would be ambushed and murdered by the wanted men, a civilian carjacked and terrified for their life, another officer would nearly die, and one more would succumb to injuries from the shootout a year later.

That script made a big enough splash for his career.Besides Stronger, Pollono is known for writing Small Engine Repair (the play and its film adaptation), Lost Girls (2013 and 2015) Off-Broadway release, Second Of Rules (the play), Lost and Found (2006), Razorback (play, staged in 2008) and his one-act Illuminati play which won Best Play at the 2010 Network One-Act Festival in New York City. In his career in front of the camera, Pollono made appearances on shows like Grey's Anatomy, recurring roles on Mob City and NBC's This Is Us TV series, and have worked professionally in entertainment Public RelationsPollono's love for stories and movies dates back to being a kid who was also a voracious reader -- reading every Stephen King book there is. He picked up short story writing at a pretty young age. Obviously, he had a sort of knack for storytelling and started pursuing that path and passion to become a filmmaker and has been fortunate to shadow so many directors who I really admire in the business.He earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1994 from the University of New Hampshire and did two semesters of film school at NYU on an exchange. His experience in New York City, being surrounded by such a diverse group of artists was the biggest epiphany of his life that helped him decide his filmmaking career.He's guest-starred in the television series, How I Met Your Mother and has had smaller acting credits on film and stage.In 2021 he wrote and directed the black comedy-drama, Small Engine Repair which will premiere this September. The film is based on Pollono's play of the same name. I can not recommend this film enough. It is easily one of the best films I've seen in 2021. Events spin wildly out of control when three lifelong friends agree to do a favor on behalf of the brash young woman they all adore. It follows lifelong friends Frank (John Pollono), Swaino (Jon Bernthal), and Packie (Shea Whigham) who share a love of the Red Sox, rowdy bars, and Frank's teenaged daughter Crystal (Bravo). But when Frank invites his pals to a whiskey-fueled evening and asks them to do a favor on behalf of the brash young woman they all adore, events spin wildly out of control in this exploration of brotherhood, class struggle, and toxic masculinity.This interview was a pretty cool conversation and I did not hold back getting John to share all the gems of the business he's learned and fun questions like what it's like working with Frank Darabont and working on the new Hulk Hogan movie currently in production.Enjoy my conversation with John Pollono.

In Episode 79 of Here’s A Podcast Are You Happy Now? your hosts, Nick and Keegs, dive into their weekly poll of devoted listeners with “is winking making a comeback?”, some hot stories regarding gender reveals and surprise childbirth (!), and a big ol’ F U to Amazon Studios for putting out the flaming hot pile of shit that is ‘7500’ in an incendiary Nerd Keegs. Apology from the Producer: “This is Keegs from HAPAYHN, in shitting on ‘7500’ and the multiple ways it falls short of doing its due diligence in filmmaking and storytelling around a sensitive subject, I turned to a movie that I thought did a splendid job in those areas. This movie was ‘Stronger’ the story of Jeff Bauman, a survivor of the Boston Marathon Bombing, as played by Jake Gyllenhaal. I didn’t expect the segment to go in that direction and failed to do the necessary research beforehand. I spent the entire segment mispronouncing Jeff Bauman’s name, which in a regular podcast could maybe be forgiven, but in one that spends so much time calling attention to the difference between ‘intent’ and ‘impact’, especially in that segment, is unacceptable. I thought it was a useful conversation, I thought it brought some good points to light, and ultimately it recommended a story worth telling, and so I did not want to delete the whole segment for my mistake. Again, I apologize for the oversight- I will try to be better, and I hope that those who would, or did, take offense to it can still enjoy the discussions within.”-Keegs
A career retrospective with Jake Gyllenhaal on December 1, 2016. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Jake Gyllenhaal, an Academy Award nominee, has established himself as one of the finest actors of his generation. With his new production company Nine Stories, he is also on his way to becoming a filmmaker of note – sourcing material, developing it from the ground up, collaborating with bold storytellers, and shepherding the projects through release. In 2014, he starred in Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler, which he also produced. For his performance as Louis Bloom, Mr. Gyllenhaal received BAFTA, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, Critics’ Choice, and Spirit Award nominations, as well as Best Actor citations from numerous critics’ groups. He received an Academy Award nomination, and won a BAFTA Award, for his performance as Jack Twist in Ang Lee’s classic Brokeback Mountain, also for Focus Features. Working with some of the world’s finest filmmakers on both independent and studio features, Mr. Gyllenhaal has also starred in David Ayer’s End of Watch, which he executive-produced; Dennis Villeneuve’s highly acclaimed Prisoners and Enemy, playing a dual role in the latter; Richard Kelly’s cult hit Donnie Darko; Antoine Fuqua’s Southpaw; Jean-Marc Vallee’s Demolition; Baltasar Kormákur’s Everest; Jim Sheridan’s Brothers; Duncan Jones’ Source Code; David Fincher’s Zodiac; Sam Mendes’ Jarhead; John Madden’s Proof; Miguel Arteta’s The Good Girl; Brad Silberling’s Moonlight Mile; Nicole Holofcener’s Lovely & Amazing; Joe Johnston’s October Sky; and Ed Zwick’s Love & Other Drugs, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination. In 2014, Mr. Gyllenhaal made his Broadway debut in Nick Payne’s Constellations and his musical theatre debut in the Encores! production of Little Shop of Horrors. The actor made his New York stage debut in 2012 starring in If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet, for the Roundabout Theatre Company, which earned him nominations from the Drama League and the Lucille Lortel Awards. The latter marked his first stage work since 2002, when he starred on London’s West End in Kenneth Lonergan’s revival ofThis is Our Youth, for which he won an Evening Standard Theater Award for Outstanding Newcomer. He recently formed Nine Stories, a production company acquiring and developing new material. The company is in development on a number of titles, including Denis Villeneuve’s The Son, which is based on Jo Nesbo’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name; a scripted limited series for A&E centered on cults throughout history; and the cartel drama The Man Who Made It Snow, to be directed by Antoine Fuqua. Additional projects in development include Theater of War, based on an episode of “This American Life,” which will be directed by Alex Timbers; and Ubisoft’s film adaptation of the Tom Clancy video game “The Division,” in which Mr. Gyllenhaal will also star. Through Nine Stories, he has produced Stronger, inspired by a true story and based on The New York Times bestseller of the same name. The movie, directed by David Gordon Green and to be released in 2017, is the deeply personal account of the heroic journey of Boston Marathon survivor Jeff Bauman (whom Mr. Gyllenhaal portrays). He currently stars in Focus Feature’s Nocturnal Animals.

This week we return to the topic of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing with Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Bryan Canterbury. Dr. Canterbury was one of many medical professionals, but only a few ER docs, who ran to the finish line on that sunny April day to treat the hundreds of victims injured after 2 bombs exploded during Boston’s hallowed race. With his typical candor & humility, Dr. Canterbury remarks on the differences between working traumas in the street versus the natural habitat of the ER physician, a well stocked & staffed hospital. Note: I would like to correct the name mentioned in the podcast. The man who held the femoral artery of Jeff Bauman is name Carlos Arredondo, a Costa Rican-American and Gold Star Father. Carlos’ son, Marine LCpl Alexander Arredondo, was KIA in Iraq on 25 August 2004. Since then Carlos has worked as a peace activist as well as an advocate for Veteran mental health. He was at the 2013 Boston Marathon finish line to cheer on runners from National Guard Tough Ruck, one of whom was running for his son.

In Episode Two, my publicist Kat Knox and I discuss imposter syndrome and growing balls. Not literally, though. We do go into detail about the reality of pursuing your passions, and ridding yourself of the thought that careers (or relationships) are linear. Kat also represents Jeff Bauman, and tells us about her personal experience surrounding the Boston Marathon Bombing ahead of its fifth year anniversary on April 16th. So remember, roses will always smell good. Be free little vines, reach for all kinds of goals and recognize your strengths. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/runningwildwithchristine/support
Hello, and welcome back to Small Screen’s Film Club. On this week’s episode (which also happens to be our last of 2017 [sad emoji]), Alessia and I discuss the film Stronger in which Small Screen favourite Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jeff Bauman who lost both of his legs when two bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon […]
En ce 15 avril 2013, Jeff Bauman est venu encourager Erin qui court le marathon : il espère bien reconquérir celle qui fut sa petite amie.

Producers David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman join me by phone to discuss their film Wonder and their work as producers in film and television. David Hoberman David Hoberman (Producer) is the founder and co-owner of Mandeville Films and Television. He is one of the leading producers in the entertainment industry today. His Disney-based company, Mandeville Films, is among the most profitable and respected production labels in the entertainment industry. Other notable films include the critically hailed Academy Award©-nominated feature THE FIGHTER, starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams, and directed by David O. Russell. Produced for $25 million, the film went on to gross almost $130 million worldwide and earned a host of awards, including an Academy Award© nomination for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor and Actress Awards for Bale and Leo. Hoberman founded Mandeville Films in 1995 and signed a five-year first look pact with the Walt Disney Studios. In 1999, Hoberman signed a first-look deal for Mandeville at the Walt Disney Studios with Lieberman. Two years later, Lieberman became a co-partner in the company. Hoberman created the award-winning “Monk,” a one-hour series for USA Network. Executive-produced by Mandeville and spearheaded by Hoberman, “Monk” aired for eight seasons. Prior to forming Mandeville Films, Hoberman served as president of the Motion Picture Group of the Walt Disney Studios, where he was responsible for overseeing development and production for all feature films for Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures. During Hoberman’s tenure, Disney was often the top studio in domestic box-office grosses. In 1990, PRETTY WOMAN, supervised by Hoberman, was the top- grossing film of the year, and its soundtrack was the top-selling soundtrack of the year. Hoberman was also behind major blockbusters at the studio, including FATHER OF THE BRIDE, WHAT ABOUT BOB, DEAD POETS SOCIETY, ED WOOD, DANGEROUS MINDS, RUTHLESS PEOPLE, BEACHES, THREE MEN AND A BABY and HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS. While an executive at Disney, Hoberman championed the first-ever full-length stop-motion animation feature, Tim Burton’s THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Hoberman started his career working in the mailroom at ABC and quickly ascended in the entertainment business, working for Norman Lear’s Tandem/T.A.T. in television and film. He worked as a talent agent at ICM before joining Disney in 1985. Today, Hoberman is an associate professor at UCLA’s Graduate School in the Producers Program. He sat on the board of the Starlight Starbright Foundation for more than 10 years, is a member of the Board of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America and sat on the Board of the Los Angeles Free Clinic for six years. Hoberman is also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He is a member of the Board of Suffolk University in Boston and on the Board of Overseers at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Todd Lieberman Todd Lieberman (Producer) is a co-owner of Mandeville Films and Television. He is one of the leading producers in the entertainment industry today. His Disney-based company, Mandeville Films, is among the most profitable and respected production labels in the entertainment industry. In 2001, Lieberman was named one of the “35 under 35” people to watch in the business by The Hollywood Reporter, which also ranked Lieberman and Hoberman among the 30 most powerful producers in Hollywood. He holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Lieberman is a member of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences and a judge for the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting. He is also a member of the Television Academy and a Producer’s Guild mentor, as well as an active member of the Los Angeles chapter of the Young Presidents’ Organization. About Mandeville Films Since its founding in 1995, Mandeville Films has produced feature films that have grossed more than $2.5 billion in domestic box-office receipts and their slate includes a wide variety of genres, anchored by character-driven stories with universal, often uplifting themes. Todd and David’s most recent movie is Disney’s live-action retelling of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as The Beast. The critically- hailed film, directed by Bill Condon, has broken boxoffice records worldwide and has become the highest grossing PG-rated film in North America of all time. It also stars Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Luke Evans, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellan, Ewan McGregor, Audra MacDonald. Upcoming movies include STRONGER, the inspirational story of Boston marathon survivor Jeff Bauman, directed by David Gordon Green, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Tatiana Maslany, Miranda Richardson and Clancy Brown, to be released September 22, 2017 by Roadside Attractions. STRONGER makes its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto Film Festival. Following that is WONDER, based on R.J. Palacio’s best-selling YA novel, directed by Stephen Chbosky, starring Julia Roberts, Jason Tremblay and Daveed Diggs, to be released November 17, 2017 by Lionsgate. Both films were developed in house at Mandeville. Mandeville is currently in production on EXTINCTION, a sci-fi thriller starring Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan, directed by Ben Young, to be released by Universal Pictures. Mandeville is also in pre-production THE AERONAUTS for Amazon Studios, written by Jack Thorne, based on the true story of balloon pilot Amelia Wren and scientist James Glaisher and their extraordinary and harrowing journey to discover the secrets of the skies. Mandeville also produced THE MUPPETS, starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams and Walter, the newest Muppet. Directed by James Bobin, written by Segel and Nick Stoller, THE MUPPETS was one of the best-reviewed films of 2011 and earned the Academy Award© for Best Song. Mandeville also produced the next MUPPET installment, MUPPETS MOST WANTED.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jeff Bauman joined me on Cinema Royale this week to talk about the inspiring new film, STRONGER. The film centers on Bauman and how he became an unlikely heroic figure after his legs were destroyed in the Boston Marathon Bombing. The two talk about becoming fast friends while on the set, Jake's responsibility in tackling such a demanding role, and how Jeff felt seeing his life captured on screen. Tune in and check it out!
In the days, weeks and months after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, a 27-year-old man who lost his legs in the attack became the public face of the city’s resilience — the face of “Boston Strong.” Jeff Bauman wrote about his experiences in the 2014 book “Stronger,” and this week a film based on the book, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Bauman, is opening. Here & Now‘s Robin Young speaks with Gyllenhaal and Bauman (@Jeffmbauman) about the film. Interview Highlights Gyllenhaal, on how he wanted to approach portraying Bauman Jake Gyllenhaal: “I mean, obviously I think it’s important when you initially from afar see the photograph, you’re struck by the event, and it was moving and angering and all of those things. But I think what a movie can do is get into the specifics of who a human being really is, and what I was interested in was being able to portray the pain that Jeff went through as best as we could, which inevitably led to I think the joy and the love between particularly Jeff and [Jeff’s then-girlfriend Erin Hurley] and his family. So it was just, it was important to get the specifics, and really understand who Jeff is as a person even before the event. We say, and I’ve said a few times across from him in interviews, there’s this idea I had: If all of his family and if Erin loved him for his legs, he’d be in big trouble (laughs). So I think that idea was essential in this movie, and I think getting the experience right, as well as the joy and hope.” Bauman, on struggling to find his way after the bombing Jeff Bauman: “I mean, I sort of always kinda struggled with that my whole life, like with school and just kinda being frustrated with what I wanted to do in my life. And especially when I lost my legs I was like, ‘Man, now what?’ I was lost, I was really lost, ‘What am I gonna do?’ I was aimless, and had no idea what was ahead of me. You saw me a couple times throughout that journey. I was doing OK, but I was still, inside I was lost, just like I think anybody … I mean, anybody that goes through something traumatic is kinda like, ‘Whoa,’ like their life is flipped upside down. And then you have all these things to worry about and deal with, like the future.” “Admittedly for me just playing someone like Jeff, there’s just a side of it that you just can’t help but feel fraudulent. You know you don’t carry with you that same history and that same strength.” Jake Gyllenhaal Gyllenhaal, on Bauman’s experience of becoming a symbol and whether he’s faced similar situations as an actor JG: “Well, I mean, it’s an absurd comparison just given the circumstance that Jeff went through and, you know, being an actor. But I think there is a certain type of attention, and I think a certain … you’re in a way forced to perform, sometimes perform yourself and the idea people have of you. And I think that’s always an interesting dilemma of identity, particularly for someone like Jeff and the character I play of Jeff in the movie where, not only you’re trying to recalibrate your life and trying to figure out how to exist in the physical world without two legs — which changes your identity and all of the specifics of that, recalibrating your nervous system to try and figure out how to walk in these [Genium prosthetic legs] and all of those things. And then, all of a sudden people are giving you a whole new identity, which is, there’s a line in the movie and I think Jeff said it often, ‘I was just standing there,’ and now all of a sudden I’m, someone’s deeming me a hero. “And I think actually there are two reasons I realize this, why people feel that way: One is because [Jeff] did play a large role in identifying the bomber, and that’s part of it. But I think essentially the idea of being a symbol for people is something that I can see Jeff having grown into.” Bauman, on his relationship with Carlos Arredondo JB: “He’s like the least selfish person in the world. He’s always worried about everything else, everybody else around him, and so is Mel, his wife, and they’re just so involved in everything. And I just, every time I kinda want to isolate, he’s there, and he’s always trying to pull me out. And he’s like, ‘Come on!’ He’s like, ‘Let’s go, you have to come,’ he’s like, ‘You have to come do this, you have to come do that.’ That’s just how he is. He is definitely a role model in my life right now, and he’s a very strong person.” Gyllenhaal, on portraying Bauman in moments when people are sharing personal stories and looking to him for hope JG: “Admittedly for me just playing someone like Jeff, there’s just a side of it that you just can’t help but feel fraudulent. You know you don’t carry with you that same history and that same strength. So I kind of, I knew entering this character and entering this world — particularly trying to tell Jeff’s story — that I was probably gonna fail at getting close. So you enter, you start knowing you’re not gonna succeed somewhere, to get as close as he is and who he is. But it’s, yeah it’s uncomfortable, but I would say that knowing Jeff now and watching him in those moments, he’s uncomfortable with those moments. There’s a sort of, it’s hard to feel comfortable in a moment when anybody says that to you, because we are all complex characters.” Gyllenhaal, on getting to see how love has helped Bauman get through JG: “Through all the complexities and idiosyncrasies of the characters in Jeff’s life — his family, all his relationships, himself, all the things that make him a complicated human being — what I noticed with everyone in the story, and everyone around him in real life, is that there is this unabashed, [unfailing] love, and you can see it in him. It’s why when he walks into a room or, I can see your guys’ relationship, that you really love him because he feels loved. And it’s what has gotten him through, I think. Even when trying to resist it, even when trying to say, ‘I don’t want it,’ it will not stop, it’s coming to him whenever.” “My journey is just starting. Especially, now I’m walking better every month, every month I’m just walking more and more.” Jeff Bauman Bauman, on the difficulty of going to events involving large crowds JB: “It was my biggest fear going into those events, it’s like, ‘What am I gonna do in these huge crowds?’ It’s just the crowd in general, because that’s where it happened, in a big crowd. So that does spark a lot of things for me, and even to this day I don’t do well in crowds at all, and I’m always kinda looking over my shoulder and on edge.” Bauman, on whether he has flashbacks to the bombing, and working to overcome the mental trauma JB: “I don’t talk about it a lot, and I’m just starting to reach into my trauma with my therapist. I do, especially when I sleep, when I’m about to go to bed. And it happened a lot early on. It’s like when your head hits the pillow, you start getting thoughts about the day, and then all of a sudden for me in the three years it was just mainly thinking about that day, and thinking about different things and kind of rehearsing it. Then I got talking about it with public speaking, and really telling my story. And that really helps. I could sleep at night a little better and better, and as I carried on it got better.” On what’s next JB: “My journey is just starting. Especially, now I’m walking better every month, every month I’m just walking more and more. We probably walked like five, four miles in Toronto [for the Toronto International Film Festival]…” JG: “From the time I met him till now, it’s incredible. When we first met, we’d walk a few blocks and you’d be like, ‘I gotta…'” JB: ” … I gotta go, I gotta go to bed.” JG: “Now, it was like all day long. Up stairs, down stairs, strange floors, lots of different things. And he’s just, he’s going all day long.” JB: “Jake, he likes to make fun of me. He’s like, ‘Yeah, a year ago you remember? You would be sucking wind up these stairs (laughs).'” [Youtube] Copyright 2017 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
