Kait and Julia sit down this week to discuss Lobby Hero by Kenneth Lonergan. They discuss the difficulties of the workplace, the difficulties of moral ambiguity, and of course, Elton John!Enjoy! 

An American master this week everyone. And a little bit of a hero of Jonny's. Kenneth Lonergan is the writer and directors of three movies, all of them masterpieces, and the playwright of groundbreaking plays like Lobby Hero and This Is Our Youth. Hear about birthing his plays, writing as the muscle memory of the brain, why he is fascinated by the state of adolescence, which of his plays started as a dream, how he jumped from prose to playwrighting and why movies don't quite touch the experience of a play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

About Nelson: Nelson Heino Leis is an actor and writer based in Vancouver, Canada. Nelson can be seen in Prey (2022) , 20th Century Studios' Predator origin story. In 2023 he will be appearing in HBO's The Last of Us (2023-) and FX's Shogun (2023-) , both highly anticipated series. Nelson was born in Kemptville, Ontario, to a French mother and Estonian father. When he was 3-years-old his family moved to Brownsville, Texas for a brief time, eventually returning to Canada and settling in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Web Fest, including Best Actor for Nelson, and resulted in him being brought to France for the inaugural Marseilles Web Fest. This was a meaningful event for Nelson as it took him to his mother's homeland for the first time. Most recently he co-wrote, produced and starred in the comedy A.T.A.C.K (2022) . Nelson has worked alongside some of Hollywood's most recognizable talent: Kiernan Shipka in 3 seasons of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020) as the terrifying Demon King Beelzebub; Kevin Bacon in Story of a Girl (2017) directed by Kyra Sedgwick; Steve Zahn in Valley of the Boom (2019-) ; Rainn Wilson in Backstrom (2015-2015) ; Freddy Highmore in Bates Motel (2013-2017) and Joel Kinnamen in The Killing (2011-2014) .
