(jenponton.com) About our guest: JEN PONTON (writer/performer SUGARCOATED) returns triumphantly to the New York stage with Sugarcoated, her autobiographical solo show, in its New York premiere. Last seen off-Broadway in Halley Feiffer's How To Make Friends and then Kill Them (Rattlestick, 2013), Jen has spent the past decade building a vibrant career in film and television. Highlights include Dietland, 30 Rock, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Orange is the New Black, Law & Order: SVU, and Blue Bloods, among many others. Jen also starred in Ash Christian's Love on the Run alongside Frances Fisher, Annaleigh Ashford, and Steve Howey. She has since appeared in Rebecca Miller's She Came to Me and Todd Solondz's Wiener-Dog opposite Greta Gerwig and Kieran Culkin. Off-screen, Jen is a passionate creator. Her works include the storytelling podcast All the Fucks with co-host Lillian Bustle_, a nostalgia-packed puppet sitcom, and her TEDx Talk, “Hollywood's Fatphobia Problem.” Her collaboration with _Sugarcoated director Tessa Slovis began with Tessa's film Pizza Party, wherein the two found an immediate connection through their commitment to bold activism through storytelling.

Three months after the broadcast from Base Theta (and beyond), we see how the world has been affected. Transcript here: https://monkeymanproductions.com/2023/09/mto-s4-e20-transcript/ Thank you for listening to the last full episode of Moonbase Theta, Out, featuring what I think is our largest cast ever - Evan Tess Murray, Serena Rahal, Corey Spruill, Tom Zalatnai, Robin Regalado, Becca Marcus, Tal Minear, Dalia Ramahi, Leslie Gideon, Cat Blackard, Cass McPhee, M.J. Bailey, Tau Zaman, David S. Dear, Anjali Kunapaneni, Dallas Wheatley, Sarah Rhea Werner, Hazel Stapp, Shereen Lani Younes, Cole Burkhardt, Elissa Park, Alicia Atkins, Steven LaFond, NayMyo Win, Rissa Montanez, Anna Godfrey, Tina Daniels, Lisette Alvarez, Emma Sherr-Ziarko, Claudia Elvidge, Jen Ponton, Jen Ponton, Journee LaFond, Danyelle Ellett, Gabriel Tankeo, and Leeman Kessler. And various voices in the outro that were most of those folks and a few more.  Written by D.J. Sylvis; Cass McPhee is our audio engineer. Our theme music is “Star” by the band Ramp; our cover art is by Peter Chiykowski. Music for the intro segment was “Extra Real News” ; music for the outro was "The Real Story"; both by Trace Callahan. And that's it, folks. That's really where the story ends - there are four bonus minisodes to come, but those dive deeper into the characters that each is focused on, they don't really push the plot anywhere new. The story, like Barnett Bell says about revolution, like what Bilbo Baggins says about roads … goes ever on, but that doesn't mean it will all be told in the same way. I hope our little Moon tales stay with you, that you think your own thoughts about what comes next, maybe tell your own stories with a bit of Roger and Alex and Ashwini and Michell and Wilder and Nessa and Tumnus in the bones of them. Maybe one day I'll find my own way to talk about them again as well. But in the here and now, we've reached the end … and I'll say it one more time, thank you so much for listening.  Our Exectutive Producers are Sarah Müller and Beka B, and our associate producers are Marty Chodorek, June Madeley , Timothy LaGrone, Marilyn Reid, Marissa Robertcop and Linda Boyer. Thank you guys so much for your support, and helping and trusting us to bring this story to life. We love what we've done with it, and we hope you love it as much as we do. As we bring this series to a close and thank you yet again for supporting us through it all, this is a great time to talk about how you can join us on our next adventure.

Deej here, and it's time for the resolution of our two-part Moonbase Theta, Out series finale! This is it, another hour or so and you'll have heard the rest of the story. Well, not really, of course - there'll be an epilogue in Episode 20, four bonus episodes to come after that, and … after that a long, well-deserved rest. For me, at least, probably not for our folks on the Moon. But before any of that, slide forward to the very edge of your seat and keep your feet firmly planted - because it's time!  OUTRO: And that's it, folks. That's our series finale, the end … until the epilogue, bonuses, the stuff I said in the intro. But there's lots of thank yous left before we let this episode go! We've mentioned the actors, we've mentioned the cover artist and composers who've worked on the show, we've mentioned our audio engineer though Cass deserves another shout-out for all his work this season! And we should thank Cass and Tina for their tireless efforts as my co-producers - this is a job no one person could have taken on.  Finally, I want to thank not people, but other stories in this space that have meant so much during the creation of MTO. I want to thank Girl in Space and Pasithea Powder and Greater Boston; I want to thank Civilized and Ninth World Journal and Interference and Caravan and Seren and Far Meridian and Love and Luck and Midnight Burger and The Night Post and Vesta Clinic and The Beacon and … I can't keep listing them all, we'd be here for another full hour, but thank you to all the bold, brave, engrossing, embracing, exceptional stories that have captivated and inspired us throughout our own creation.

The deadites are back, and they are as mean as ever. Evil Dead Rise changes it up from the cabin in the woods format, and it pulled it off successfully. Listen/watch our latest episode with special guest Jen Ponton. Synopsis Evil Dead Rise continues the story of deadites just trying their best life, and those meddling humans that try to ruin their fun. In this latest entry in the Evil Dead franchise, two estranged sisters Ellie and Beth (played by Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan) awkwardly reunite in the midst of personal crises. Before they can work out their issues, an earthquake strikes and Ellie's children discover a hidden ancient tome and mysterious recordings of a priest reading from it. If you've seen any of the previous Evil Dead films, you know where this is going. They inadvertently release flesh-possessing demons and have to fight for survival. It doesn't go well.  Review of Evil Dead Rise This is a very strong entry into the franchise that expands the world outside of just a cabin in the woods. Like 2013's evil dead, this film foregoes the majority of the humor that the original trilogy featured. Not to say that this film is completely humorless, it just goes hard into the body horror and torture porn. This film has some of the wildest and darkest scenes I've seen in a long time. It makes you all but certain that no one is safe from the deadites even up till the end. What I appreciate is that despite the simple nature of the horror, that being trying to escape or kill scary demons, the film does give stakes for the characters and changes up the setting in a unique way. Instead of disposable slasher teens, we are shown a loving and functional family. When one of them is preyed upon by the demons it hurts, and it adds to the disgust and terror of the moment. Alyssa Sutherland chews up the material and spits it out. It's unsurprising that most of the trailer featured her. She is a delight to watch, and the vile and manipulative things that the script gives that mother are the most compelling parts of the movie. Overall, this film really brings it. If you are looking for a supernatural gory horror film, this one pulls no punches Score 10/10 Check out Jen Ponton Thanks to Jen Ponton for joining us.

Mental Note: Journeys of Health and Recovery

Beyond the rush and noise of the Holiday Season, hides an amazing treasure - the passing of stories and wisdom from our elders. And we're not just talking about tales of the good ol' days from grandparents! Because an elder is simply someone who's gone before you, no matter their age. So, to celebrate this special time of year, we are featuring short stories from some of you - the elders in our community who have already walked the road of recovery. We wanted to know how you have integrated recovery into your homes and living spaces. Each featured response is brief. Our hope is that they spark your imagination to consider ways that home might become a partner instead of an opponent to mental health. Many thanks to Kara Richardson Whitley, Ashton Grooms, Jen Ponton, Jane Zeltser, Patrick Devenny, Tony Wilson, Niki Dubois, Chris Henry, Ivy Watts, Katie Kittredge, & Jayne Mattingly for sharing.

If you were to ask me to point you in the direction of someone who knows how to put their finger on the pulse and create the thing that the world truly needs (while simultaneously making them cackle!), I'd point at today's guest.   Today, the glorious and out-of-this-world joyous, Jen Ponton, joins us on the show. Jen is an accomplished actor, writer, producer, and prolific content maker. Prior to hitting record, I asked Jen what she wanted to share with you all, to which Jen responded, “I really want to talk about creative people making content.” And that's exactly what we do in this episode.   Best known as the fiercely feminist fat activist 'Rubi' on AMC's critical darling DIETLAND, Jen is an award-winning actress and body, liberation activist. Her television resume includes 30 ROCK, UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, LAW AND ORDER: SVU, THE BLACKLIST, and BLUE BLOODS.    As a screenwriter, she now has several pilots and feature scripts in development. She is also a puppeteer and co-creator of the digital puppet sitcom, THE WEIRDOS NEXT DOOR, now in its sixth season.  We discuss the power of creative works and the responsibilities it has when it highlights marginalization – normalization of Black-centric art, queer-centric art, size inclusivity and diversity, and a plethora of backgrounds and life experiences.    Jen also shares her hot take on cancel culture and the hope she has for society to recover from some of the insidious ways society conducts itself, such as undermining marginalized communities. We address the innate places that we need to uncover in order to unlearn the prejudices we were taught.   This conversation with Jen will challenge and flex your creative muscles, as it encourages you to create for change. Tune in as this inspirational veteran of the industry shares intimate stories and reminds us of the larger role that kindness and empathy plays in the entire journey.   CLOSER LOOK & TAKEAWAYS How to write with inclusivity and diversity in mind Why an emphasis on marginalized identities doesn't make or break the story The shift in power to white women through soap opera television The option to rewrite history in narrative fiction Room for reparation and why we should hold white voices accountable What's it like to come out as queer during the pandemic Disorientation from a heteronormative life Thoughts on cancel culture and how to approach it in a healthy way Jen's call and mission to help bridge communities and healing for the world, especially in the plus-size community that thrived from the labor of Black femmes About the All the Fucks podcast and the coolness of not caring   Watch the uncut behind-the-scenes video of this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/brianpatacca   CONNECT WITH JEN Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jenponton/ http://www.jenponton.com/ http://www.jenponton.com/allthefucks Twitter https://twitter.com/jenponton?lang=en   CONNECT WITH ME Instagram https://www.instagram.com/briansaysthat/ FREE TRAINING www.MakeAgentsWantYou.com Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!    If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave an honest review.

Hello hello hello! We're back with a banked episode from July where we sat down and chatted with the amazing Jen Ponton! Jen's performance story isn't unfamiliar (and not too dissimilar from our own stories) - she started in theatre and ran into a bit of wall. Unfortunately the theatre world hasn't seemed to have caught up when it comes to telling the stories of fat people. But when she made a bit of a career switch she found the world of film and television to be more forward thinking. She's got several credits under her belt including the lead in an indie film that came out this past fall called Love on the Run. She's rocking the comedy world and one of the awesome ladies paving the way for more acceptance and richer stories for fat people to tell. It was so easy to talk with Jen about our experiences auditioning for theatre. For those of you who aren't actors, Nicole Byer showcases one of the many... quirks... that come up when pursuing a job. It's funny, cause it's true. Please check out Jen on twitter (she promises less yelling nowadays) and instagram (lots of cute pics of her pupper!) And if you're in the biz and need some marketing support or direction, make sure you hit her up at gobeyondthepostcard.com
