“In my mind, Belle is going through life, at least our version of Belle – I've never met the real Belle – she's going through life with this hole inside, this overwhelming need for approval, that social media absolutely capitalizes on and she just keeps trying to feed the beast. She hasn't grown up with the healthiest of role models herself. She has learnt that being sick is a shortcut to being loved and to getting attention,” says Samantha Strauss, creator and showrunner for the Netflix limited series Apple Cider Vinegar, about understanding her main character's disgraceful motivation to lie about having brain cancer.  Adapted from the book, The Woman Who Fooled the World, by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, Apple Cider Vinegar chronicles the incredible and heartbreaking rise and fall of the real Belle Gibson (Kaitlin Dever), a notorious health and wellness “scamfluencer.” Strauss talks about starting her young life in Australia as a ballet dancer before a terrible injury led her to discover TV writing. She also talks about how her previous TV show, The End, got the attention of Nicole Kidman, who championed her writing career. Strauss gushes about how she was inspired by Kidman's, “Fierce intelligence, just exactly what you'd expect, and rigor. You know, she would be giving notes at the end of a really long day of filming. She wasn't resting on her laurels at all. There's just such a generosity of spirit there and to think she's helped other emerging Australian creatives is pretty special,” she says.  Strauss discusses the challenges of adapting a true story while the subject is still alive, tips and tricks for making the show feel immediate and seductive while mimicking the addictive nature of social media, and getting the primal relationship of mothers and daughters authentic on screen.  To hear more about Apple Cider Vinegar and Strauss's advice for writers adapting true stories, listen to the podcast.

This week on Danger Close, Jack Carr is joined by two pivotal figures behind the hit Amazon Prime Video series THE TERMINAL LIST: former Navy SEAL Jared Shaw and Executive Producer and Showrunner, David DiGilio.Jared Shaw, a longtime friend and SEAL teammate of Jack's, played a crucial role in bringing THE TERMINAL LIST to life — handing the manuscript to Chris Pratt before the book was even published. That single act set the project in motion and laid the foundation for what would become a powerhouse creative team.David DiGilio entered the story after reading the novel and immediately connecting with its authenticity, psychological complexity, and emotional depth. As showrunner, he helped shape the tone, structure, and cinematic vision of the series alongside director Antoine Fuqua and star Chris Pratt.Jared came on board as a technical advisor and producer and was later cast as “Boozer,” training alongside fellow SEALs and contributing to the show's realism, tactical authenticity, and emotional weight. David guided the production through the unique challenges of the COVID era, with writers' rooms, casting, and collaboration taking place entirely over Zoom.Together, Jared and David worked closely with Jack at every stage — from script development and character arcs to tunnel fight choreography and post-production editing. Their combined efforts helped ensure that The Terminal List remained grounded in truth, honoring the brotherhood and sacrifices of those who serve.This episode pulls back the curtain on how a bond forged in the SEAL Teams — and a shared commitment to authentic storytelling — helped create one of the most compelling and accurate military thrillers ever brought to screen.FOLLOW DAVIDInstagram: @digiliofilmsFOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X:  @JackCarrUSAFacebook:  @JackCarr YouTube:  @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - BCM Stock MOD3:https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-stock-mod-3-black/   and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

“The most important thing that I've learned as a storyteller is that I have to treat every character in the show as though they're the lead in the show, and they are never doing anything so that I can prompt a move from another character. They are doing things that are true to what they want and their motivation. So that's what makes that architecture hard, because you know you want things to happen, but they have to happen coming out of character, not coming out of what the room wants to see happen. So it's like the merging of those two. We know what architecture we want, but if it doesn't feel true to the character, the character wouldn't do it. Every time, you've got to say no, even though it's tempting, because that is who you have to protect – your characters,” says Jennie Snyder Urman, creator and showrunner of Matlock, about creating story architecture in a series.  On today's episode, we talk with Jennie Snyder Urman, who created the reboot of Matlock starring Kathy Bates as Madeline Matlock. We chat about reinventing the beloved character once played by Andy Griffith, the joy of building a show around an older female lawyer and the generational changes in social attitudes women experience, and the sacrifices women often make when it comes to sexual harassment, including Matty herself.   “[Matty] realizes now, coming back [to the legal profession], what it cost her. And it's not like every day she was thinking about it. It was just, ‘Oh my gosh, I made these changes to avoid this. And why do I have to make these changes? Why didn't that person make the changes so I could be in the space where I was comfortable?' And I think what's so exciting about Maddie is that she's still learning new things at 75. I think there's also a little bit of a wish fulfillment, that you can still evolve, and you still learn, and you still feel new things,” says Urman.  To hear more about Matlock, what we can expect from season 2, and Urman's advice for writers, listen to the podcast.

Neue Woche – neue Podcast-Folge: Direkt zu Beginn beschäftigen wir uns mit einer wichtigen Frage: Warum zur Hölle bewirbt sich Jana eigentlich nicht bei GNTM?! Wir sind ratlos – aber nicht ideenlos. Vielleicht helfen Gruppenzwang, sanfter Druck oder einfach ein Laufsteg aus Rosenöl? Apropos: Jana ist in Duftlaune. Sie beschreibt detailverliebt den Duft der Gartenrosen von Ramon und Lars. Was hat das mit der „Zitronelli“ zu tun? Wir philosophieren über die feinen Unterschiede zwischen Blütenduft und Anti-Mückenkerze. Jana war außerdem bei einem 50. Geburtstag, und das war … intensiv. Es gab Partyspiele – und wir fragen uns: Sind solche Spiele auf Feiern ein Hit oder ein harter Cringe? Stichwort: „Wie verpacke ich ein Geldgeschenk kreativ, ohne dass alle leiden?“ – Peter Paul hatte da so seine ganz eigenen Vorstellungen. Auch Thema: Cluedo! Jana war im Krimi-Fieber und klärt uns auf, dass der Begriff aus dem Wortspiel „Clue“ und „Ludo“ (lat. für „ich spiele“) stammt. Lars sieht sich schon als Inspektor mit Monokel, Ramon eher als Butler mit düsterer Vergangenheit. Dazwischen: Wer öffnet neben Ramon noch immer in Unterwäsche die Tür? Das ist zwar rätselhaft, aber immerhin konsequent. Weniger konsequent war Janas Besuch bei Subway – 20 Minuten Wartezeit für ein „belegtes Baguette“, das einfach... enttäuschte. Wir sagen nur: kulinarisches Trauma. Dann wird's romantisch – oder trashig – oder beides: Wie oft darf man in Deutschland eigentlich heiraten? Diese Frage bringt uns direkt zur Idee: Was wäre, wenn es „Amore unter Palmen – Queer Edition“ gäbe? Wir träumen von der perfekten Reality-TV-Show mit queerer Liebe, Glitzer, Drama, Herzschmerz – und ChatGPT als kreativer Showrunner. Klingt das gut? Dann nichts wie reinhören.

“It's not ripped from the headlines. We're not using any of [the Buss family's] real-life stories and putting them into our show. Because Mindy [Kaling], Ike [Barinholtz], and I have so many influences like Arrested Development, 30 Rock, The Office and Succession, we're coming up with our own fun stories and fun situations to put this dysfunctional, very wealthy, successful family into a blender and then have them going back and forth and arguing and solving problems together and against each other,” says David Stassen, showrunner of Running Point, about taking inspiration from Los Angeles Lakers' President, Jeannie Buss's family and turning it into a hit TV show.   In this episode, we chat with David Stassen, showrunner and co-creator of the Netflix show, Running Point, that's just been given the greenlight for Season 2. The show centers on Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), the daughter of a powerful basketball magnate. She's now taken the helm of the legendary team with the help – or hindrance – of her four well-meaning but unpredictable brothers.    While firmly set in the brawny world of basketball, Stassen talks about the true core of Running Point, which revolves around the siblings trying to earn the love of their deceased father. To get this particular narrative right, Stassen says the writers room spent a lot of time focusing on the family dynamics and differentiating each character's struggles and traits. Much of the comedy in the show comes from the clashes between the siblings and their attempts to live up to their father's fierce expectations. Stassen also talks about how the character Isla, a woman at the center of a very male-dominated universe, relies on speeches from gangster films to communicate with her basketball team.  “Movies transcend our society. So, I think it's a great way to connect and even if you haven't seen Casino, most people know that Joe Pesci is viewed as a very scary person on film. We were lucky enough to get the rights to show a scene. So even if you didn't know anything about it, you got to see the moment. It's just a fun thing to have this beautiful, airy Kate Hudson taking on these roles of the tough Italian mobster or the contract killer getting revenge for his dead dog, like John Wick. And I guess it probably speaks to something bigger about this show – about a woman in a man's world. But at the same time, Isla is powerful in her own way, right? She's powerful 95% of the time just being herself and standing up for herself. And then the fun flourishes are maybe using a movie reference to illustrate a point,” says Stassen.    To hear more about Running Point and Stassen's advice to TV writers, listen to the podcast.

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson are the creators, showrunners, writers, and executive producers of the hit Showtime drama series, YELLOWJACKETS. YELLOWJACKETS, equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over. YELLOWJACKETS stars Emmy Award-nominee Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, and Emmy Award-nominee Christina Ricci. In this interview, we talk about the pros and cons of working as a writing partnership, the challenges and rewards of writing original content versus writing for existing shows, what they look for when hiring writers for their staff, the specific difficulties of writing a show with two timelines, and much more.

darkstalker.wof.podcaster@gmail.com-FULL STORY OF WHAT WENT WRONG-Ok, essentially I used to record on a tablet. But when my microphone cable went missing, so did the attached Lightning adaptor, which meant that I had to buy a new adaptor. At the time, I figured why not get one for my computer! So instead of my tablet's adaptor (Lightning), I purchased a computer adaptor (USB-C). But recently, I relocated the Lightning adaptor, and decided to make this episode with my tablet as a celebration. But you probably can tell what went wrong with that....

“One of the things we talked a lot about in the room is that very rarely do people set about their day saying, ‘Okay, I'm going to go do some evil.' But for most people, we're all sort of the leads in our own stories and we're all crafting the narrative of who we want the world to see us as. And we do start to believe that. You tell yourself these stories about yourself that you want to be true and you move through the world and you make decisions based on that narrative. And I think that one of the things that as writers, we really try to do is get into the shoes and the heads of the characters that we're writing and really try to break down why they're doing what they're doing and make it feel as real and true as possible. The things that these characters believe – or convince themselves that they believe – have to feel really real and grounded to us,” says Katie Robbins, co-showrunner of Good American Family, on writing flawed characters who prefer to live in fantasy, not reality.  On today's episode of Write On, we speak to Katie Robbins and Sarah Sutherland, co-showrunners on the explosive limited series, Good American Family. The show tells the story of a midwestern couple who adopts what they believe is little girl with dwarfism. Soon they are in the midst of a battle fought in the tabloids, the courtroom and ultimately their marriage. The show is based on the real-life story of Natalia Grace that made many headlines. Robbins and Sutherland talk about the unusual yet brilliant structure of telling various episodes from different characters' points of view, and how the tone changed when they got to the episodes told from Natalia's perspective. They also talked about the messiness of writing a dysfunctional family while still keeping the story grounded.  “We all know family is this wonderful, beautiful thing, but it's so complex. And I think that it's really hard to talk about the complexities of family because we're afraid to undermine the sacredness of it. It's my view that if we are actually more open about what is hard about coexisting as a unit who loves each other, but also what's not perfect, it would make us all better. And I think that that's true both for family but also even for our enemies. We're not writing autobiographies, but I think that we take those very real emotional experiences that we all have and then put them into a story that is cinematic, that is more interesting than our lives, but that is deeply steeped in those real moments of heartache and joy and confusion,” says Sutherland.  To learn more, listen to the podcast but be aware there are SPOILERS ahead.
