Showrunner Stuart Zicherman shares his process of translating the Gladiator podcast for television, including the exhilaration of bringing the Patriots' locker room to life. And Executive Producers Brad Simpson and Nina Jacobson join Patty to discuss working with Ryan Murphy on the American Story franchise and how these series are really a way of looking at ourselves through the lens of shared obsessions and the role we, as a culture, play in how these stories unfold.All episodes of FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez are now streaming on Hulu.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Creator/Executive Producer Stu Zicherman and Executive Producer Nina Jacobson join Mase & Sue to talk about the first season of their F/X anthology series AMERICAN SPORTS STORY:AARON HERNANDEZ which focuses on the rise and fall of the polarizing former NFL player. They discuss the inspiration for tackling this project, where they found their source material, the culture of college and pro football that overlooked his behavior, the pressure of his secret life, the challenge of writing dialogue for real characters and hiring a former NFL player to capture the authenticity. Also, casting actors who check all the boxes, how you become a showrunner, the complex CTE issue, the gladiator aspect, and the million-dollar question – what will it take to make football safe?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe accomplished an unprecedented track record of box office earnings, followed by an uneven phase that included a few box office miscues and a mixed reactions to its span of Disney+ streaming series. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss two MCU series that had lower profiles in fan attention and viewership, but much to consider in what they got right in their storytelling: the binge-dropped live-action series Echo and the animated series What If? released weekly in its second season. Most significantly, both series featured stories with female leads that drew heavily upon elements of Heroine's Journey stories rather than repeating the long-familiar tropes of male-centered superhero tales. More than a decade ago, prior to the release of the first film in The Hunger Games series, producer Nina Jacobson highlighted a core aspect of the story of Katniss Everdeen: that she is a nurturing heroine rather than a conquering hero. In a similar vein, Captain Carter and Kahhori are heroes motivated by protection rather than power, and Hela and Gamora shift from conquering to nurturing motivations. In Echo, Maya begins the story seeking revenge and power, and ends it dedicated to protecting her family and community. Similarly, the Campbellian Hero's Journey traditionally focuses on a solo hero (who may have some allies), while contemporary Heroine's Journey stories portray her as the center of a team, rejecting savior tropes in favor of collective action and shared success. Captain Carter leads teams of supers in both seasons of What If? and Maya's story progresses from a solo vengeful quest spawned by men who kept her isolated from her family into a finale in which she prevails with a team of allies who help her restore bonds of family. We also note similar themes with Omega and her brothers in Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Outside the parameters of the stories themselves, What If? and Echo also provide lessons for Star Wars and other franchises. For one, they reinforce the importance of who creates or writes the story. What If? and The Bad Batch were led by women showrunners, while Echo had two women as head writers, other women on the writing staff, and five episodes directed by women, including four by Sydney Freeland, a Navajo filmmaker. Their perspectives bring a voice and authenticity that comes through in the storytelling. In addition, both series also serve as a reminder that lore and source material only go so far: telling the best story is what matters. The alternate-universe multiverse of What If? demonstrates clearly how departing from the MCU's “Sacred Timeline” can generate compelling and impactful stories that would be impossible within a single continuity – even going so far as to create a new character, Kahhori, who had not existed anywhere in the thousands of pages across decades of Marvel Comics. And although Maya Lopez originated in the comics, the Echo heroine we watch in Echo is changed in significant ways from that version of the character, reframing her characterization to increase the importance of her matrilineal ancestors and her powers to a more protective and defensive rather than combative emphasis – making her far more interesting as a comparison and contrast to the prior heroes in the MCU.

When the producers behind FX's smash "The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story" turned to the murder of Gianni Versace as the second installment in their anthology series, executive producer Ryan Murphy didn't have to look far to find the actor who would play serial killer Andrew Cunanan: His old buddy Darren Criss from "Glee." It was a juicy role for Criss, and Turn It On recently met up with the actor to discuss the mystery of Cunanan, the sensitivity of the fact that so many people impacted by Cunanan may be watching, and how his ethnicity as a half-Filipino man made him the perfect fit for the role. Later in this episode, we also talked to American Crime Story producers Brad Simpson and Nina Jacobson about the franchise.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY Star Bruce Greenwood. He plays DA Gil Garcetti. The show airs Tuesdays at 10pm. ABOUT THE SHOW   The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story is a limited series that takes you inside the O.J. Simpson trial with a riveting look at the legal teams battling to convict or acquit the football legend of double homicide. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, it explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. From Executive Producers Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Brad Falchuk, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story stars John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling Brown, Nathan Lane, Kenneth Choi, Christian Clemenson and Bruce Greenwood. The limited series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Bruce Greenwood recently played CBS News President Andrew Heyward in Truth, Jamie Vanderbilt's drama starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford. In 2015 Greenwood had a recurring role on the critically-acclaimed TV drama Mad Men. He recently wrapped the sci-fi/thriller Spectral and the drama Father and Daughters opposite Russell Crowe. He was seen in Andrew Niccol's military drama-thriller Good Kill opposite Ethan Hawke. In 2014, Greenwood earned a nomination for a Canadian Screen Award for his performance in the film Elephant Song.

An exciting BEHIND THE LENS this week as debbie is privileged to welcome Grammy winning and world renowned lyric coloratura soprano Sumi Jo to the show to talk about the stunning new film YOUTH, working with Michael Caine ("He's just so adorable") and her operatic solo of David Lang's hauntingly beautiful "Simple Songs #3", plus insight into her thoughts on opera and her passion for it now. In our last segment, we switch gears with a master of tragic irony, writer/director/producer/editor Rick Alverson, to talk about his new film ENTERTAINMENT. Plus, hear some final thoughts from producer Nina Jacobson in an exclusive interview talking the end of an era with the release this Friday of the final installment in THE HUNGER GAMES franchise - MOCKINGJAY-PART 2. And if you want to hear what cinematographer Sharon Calahan has to say about light and color and creating the "painterly realism" of THE GOOD DINOSAUR, you definitely want to take a listen at the midpoint of the show. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Can you believe Mockingjay: Part 2 is just five months away? Neither can we. To all our old fans and future listeners, please join us as we do another one of our "famous" second-by-second, obsessive breakdowns of the new 'Mockingjay Part 2' trailer. We are absolutely salivating to know what YOU think about the new trailer, so please leave a comment on our website, and don't be afraid to express your feelings! In addition, we will talk/come to grips with the end of shooting, reflecting on what an extraordinary franchise this has become and how wonderful it has been to be part of this fandom. How could we not be touched by the tweets from Nina Jacobson and Francis Lawrence? This has been our journey almost as much as it has been theirs, and we hope you jump on board for the final stretch.

In this interview, Nina Jacobson talks about how to become a successful screenwriter in Hollywood. How do you find a literary agent? How do you get your script in front of the studios? These questions and more are answered by one of the most powerful women in the entertainment industry.

This interview is for anyone who aspires to work in Hollywood--in front of or behind the camera. Instead of giving up and going home after being fired twice in 18 months, Nina Jacobson stuck with the entertainment industry and rose through the ranks to her current position as President of Walt Disney Pictures.
