Time Management Workshop About Andi: Andi Matheny is a 25-year veteran of Hollywood who started the Andi Matheny Acting Studios in 2010 and has coached hundreds of actors to book their first roles in TV and film. Andi has had a recurring role on The Resident as Dr. Kelly Whitley, starred opposite Sara Rue in The Hallmark Channel Movie True Love Blooms, opposite Kelsey Grammer in the film High Expectations, opposite Phylicia Rashad in the Oprah Winfrey production David Makes Man and opposite Ryan Phillippe and Patrick Duffy in the comedy Lady of the Manor, written and directed by Justin Long. Other notable credits include Devious Maids, The Mentalist, Ugly Betty, Zoey 101, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and The Shadow Effect. Andi hosted the talk shows Friends or Lovers, Essentials, Fit Resort and Spa, and Kwik Witz. She appeared in dozens of commercials, including a worldwide campaign for Olay. Andi won the Jury Prize for Best Florida Film for her directorial debut The Newest Member at the 2017 Sunscreen Film Festival. Her web series Good Morning St. Pete! which she wrote, directed, and starred in, won Best Web Series at the 2018 Sunscreen Film Festival and garnered her the Best Leading Actress Award at the 2018 Tampa Bay Underground Film Festival. Andi's groundbreaking book “Act ALIVE: The Essential Guide to Igniting and Sustaining Your Working Actor Career” was published in 2022 and debuted on Amazon at #3 in Acting and Auditioning.  Get the book: Act Alive How hosting has changed.  Human beings are interesting.  hHere is a thing that beginning actors and even experienced actors do. They'll look at a script, right? And the script will say things like, "I hate you, you have ruined my life, blah, blah, blah." And everybody jumps to the conclusion of, “Well, this is an angry scene, and I got to say, I hate you, and you've ruined my life.” The hot person confrontation is when you find somebody, this "hot person" in your life who has screwed you over, and now you're kind of doing the fantasy version of talking to them the way you wish you could have talked to them in that moment. As a coach, I'm not interested in your excuses. I'm interested in what you're going to do about it. In spite of all the odds against you.  If your job is to act, you better get fucking good at acting. Understand what casting directors had been trying to get through my head, which is, I want you to be good.  When you audition, you are solving somebody's problem. So when you have the working actor mindset, you show up in a collaborative, helpful spirit to help solve the casting director's problem because the casting director has pressure on them to fulfill all of these roles. As soon as you make it about the other person and not about you and your ego, that's when your bookings are going to start soaring. Art comes from a totally different place. You've got to be connected. You have to be connected from your soul, from a soul level, to what you're doing.  Sometimes the less, the better.

I flew into a late 90s flurry when I saw that episodes of Popular were on Youtube. From the mind of Ryan Murphy in 1999 this is not your typical show about high school. Both me and Mikey are day 1 fans and we talk our history with the show, the evolution of Ryan Murphy, and why Mary Cherry is one of the best tv characters ever. I hope more people discover this 90s tv gem! Link to watch the episode: https://youtu.be/7UsPO16MmYo---Get OVER 50 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007 Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Writer, Director, Actor, and Craft Services expert Marshall Cook talks about his new movie Film Fest satirizing the film festival circuit and working with several other unrelated Cooks on the set. Marshall Cook, works along with Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That, Josie and the Pussy Cats) and Matt Cook (Man With A Plan, That's Not Funny), in the new comedy movie Film Fest, satirizing the film festival scene. Now we definitely make a lot of jokes about Cooks in the Kitchen but surprisingly not a single one is related to each other. Add in Will Sasso, Sara Rue and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter turned podcaster and comedian Brendan Shaub and we've got a recipe for a good time...yes we recognize that bad puns. Cook and I even talk about Sasso and my addiction to 90 Days Fiance and out love of reality television. Film Fest premiered to rave reviews at the Austin Film Festival and is now available on Amazon Prime Video and iTunes. Official Synopsis: After submitting their first film "Unknown Unknowns" to every major film festival with no pick up, Logan (Matt Cook) feels defeated until one day, his producer, Alex (Diona Reasonover) succeeds in getting the film into a festival, the Hollywylde Film Festival. No Sundance by any means, and with no real connections, Hollywylde is their only hope at a distribution deal. Skeptic at best, Montgomery Nash (Will Sasso), festival organizer, uses all his charm to turn their attitudes around. But will it be the push they need? FILM FEST is a fun look behind the curtain of what it's really like for filmmakers and critics alike at the perceived glitzy film fest world. Marshall Cook wrote and directed the film, and even makes an appearance on screen. For more information about Film Fest visit Marshall Cook's official website at www.marshallcook.com. Follow Marshall Cook on social media via Twitter @MarshallCook and Instagram @thismarshallcook. Follow Film Fest on Instagram @filmfestfilm. Film Fest is now available on Amazon Prime Video and iTunes.

In this clever picture book,  a young boy anxious for bedtime discovers his bed is a time machine! Bedtime means lights out, with dark corners and spooky sounds. But it also means... Adventure! Because it's not a bed, it's a time machine. Our hero rides it to the coolest time of all--the age of the dinosaurs. He makes a tyrannosaurus-sized friend, who helps him become the Boss of Bedtime. While tonight's sleep will span millions of years, it'll feel like it's over in the blink of an eye.

This movie has EVERYTHING one could want in a Hallmark movie: A busy woman with no time for love. A high-powered man who threatens to take away the only joy in the woman's life holds. A premise that involves some aspects of DIY (hello, gardening!). A buildup to a big event in town (this movie has THREE of those events, BTW). The community rallying together. And a single somewhat chaste kiss. As the guys sort through it all, Les and Jason point out to Kurt all of the very blatant produce innuendo that he missed.  Facebook : alifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

I first met Sherri Shepherd more than a decade ago when I was a reporter in Tulsa. She graciously let me interview her for a feature story I was working on and I immediately became a fan.  She was funny, down to earth, and if I remember correctly, she couldn't wait to be a mom someday. Cut to many years later and her star has risen astronomically and she is finally a mom. When I met her she was starring on ABC's "Less Than Perfect" with Sara Rue. She also spent 7 years as a co-host on The View and is now starring in the new NBC comedy Trial and Error. She tells me that co-star John Ligthgow is a huge help to her on set with her son Jeffrey. And away from set she has an amazing support system in place to help when life in Hollywood seems overwhelming. She explains how friends like Niecy Nash and women she met in Mocha Moms are her lifeline when things get complicated. She has built a mom tribe of women who understand the challenges of motherhood in the entertainment industry and don't care if she's uber famous. I've always wondered what it's like for celebrity moms to try to make genuine friendships. How do they know someone isn't a creepy fan or just out to use them? (Photo by Steve Mack/FilmMagic) I guess you can never really know something like that which is why sometimes you have to open yourself up and trust people. That's hard for me and Sherri admits that's hard for her too. She tells me she recently met a new mom friend and was reluctant to open up at first. But in the end, she was glad she did because they had a lot more in common than she thought. Sherri broke down in tears after announcing she would not be returning to The View. In this interview she's very honest about the challenges of balancing a very busy career of traveling and work with the demands of motherhood. Like a lot of career moms, there are times when you miss a homework assignment or a school event because of long work hours. It's hard not to feel guilty or beat yourself up about that. Fortunately, Sherri says she's at a place in her career now where it's easier to build her work schedule around her son. He's at the age where he can travel with her for her comedy tour. And now that she'll be working steadily on a sitcom in LA, ideally that means a more consistent schedule. Sherri clearly loves her son and makes it a priority to make sure he has some consistency and feels safe despite her often inconsistent career. She tells me that once the red carpets are wrapped and the glam squad goes home, she's curled up in her sweatpants watching TV like the rest of us. One of the things I've discovered since starting this podcast is just how much alike we are as moms. We just want our kids to be happy and feel safe no matter if you're the biggest star in the world, or the biggest star on your block. Watch for Sherri as "Anne Flatch" in season two of Trial and Error on NBC.
