Jeff Pearlman has been a sportswriter for three decades, and is the best-selling author of ten books on sports, including Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s, which was adapted as the HBO series Winning Time. In February 2025 he turned his attentions to the ultimate contact sport: politics. His new Substack newsletter, The Truth OC, digs deep into Orange County politics, skewering what he refers to as "the crazy people" in many Orange County local governments. If he is unabashedly partisan, he brings the receipts, sharing photos, videos and other documents of officials behaving badly - or at least strangely.He spoke with us about his decision to cover local politics, how a lifetime of sportswriting prepared him for this beat, and why Democratic messaging "sucks." :36 Oral History of Speaker Robert Hertzberg1:45 Problems at the State Bar3:01 Experts Expound: The best and worst political jobs in California3:51 Welcome Jeff Pearlman8:39 The Truth OC10:57 Style12:52 Seal of God13:49 "You bring the receipts"16:08 Impact in the community18:04 Enjoying the cruelty22:13 How did sportswriting prepare you for this?25:06 "I find him so exasperating"25:52 Getting in your face29:02 The N word at a school board meeting30:55 Don't let things disappear34:16 Will this affect your sportswriting career?36:32 What journalists/writers do you follow?37:37 The new Jon Fleischman38:33 How long will you do this?40:33 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

The Todd McLellan era continues to get better... Tune in as we open by discussing Ryan's return, a quick correction from last episode, and a lack of bold playoff proclamations (0:00) before jumping into the Detroit Red Wings extending their win streak to 5 games with a win over the Ottawa Senators, including Dylan Larkin's goal streak, Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat continuing to stay hot, Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson holding down the fort on defense, Joe Veleno's timely goal, Alex Lyon's injury and Cam Talbot stepping in, and Patrick Kane's Showtime magic in overtime (7:50). After that, thoughts on how sustainable the win streak is in the "PLAY F****G HOCKEY" era under Todd McLellan, what the playoff odds are for Steve Yzerman's Hockeytown team, & more (19:35). Next, more Dylan Cozens rumors between the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres, who on Detroit would be worth including (Marco Kasper? Nate Danielson?), and whether Elias Petterson or J.T. Miller would be a better fit (32:25). We then discuss Trey Augustine, Max Plante, James Hagens, and Team USA's 2nd consecutive World Junior Championship gold medal, Jesse Kiiskinen's strong performance, and Axel Sandin Pellikka's accolades, as well as a note on the Red Wings goalie pipeline with Sebastian Cossa and Carter Gylander alongside Augustine, and how Ville Husso and/or Jack Campbell may be used as trade fodder (49:30).

Welcome To The Party Pal: The Mind-Bending Film & Television Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed!
This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal celebrates Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, the sports drama television series created by Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht for HBO, based on the book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s by Jeff Pearlman. The first season, comprising 10 episodes, chronicles the 1980s Showtime era of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team featuring notable NBA stars Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It features an ensemble cast led by John C. Reilly, Jason Clarke, Jason Segel, Gaby Hoffmann, Rob Morgan, and Adrien Brody. In this episode hosts Michael Shields and Justin Wells laud the extraordinary cast, the massive (often disjointed) scope of the series, and the fascinating stylistic choices present in the series, while bemoaning how the series was unceremoniously cut short after two season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When cinematographer Todd Banhazl, ASC was hired by creator Adam McKay for Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, he knew he wanted to capture the look and feel of TV broadcasts from the 70's for season 1. As the timeline of the show moved into the mid-80's in season 2, Todd wanted to embrace the gloss and glamour of the era, with more dynamic camera moves on the court. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Winning Time is its signature look. The show integrates and embraces the camera formats used during each time period in the show. They used 8mm and 16mm film and for season 2, VHS-C camcorders. Each scene was also always covered with two 35mm cameras, so that the period look of Winning Time doesn't weigh on the viewer too much. The series is based on the book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s.” McKay and Todd wanted the show to be as loud, bold and maximalist as the personality of Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Todd and McKay tested the different camera looks for months before shooting the pilot, and they fell in love with mixing the formats. Todd made a look book approved by HBO, and shot the pilot that way. Next, they had to figure out the editing and post process, to make sure that the look stayed dirty- they wanted film grain, hairs and video imperfections to stay in and even be emphasized. Todd thinks they found the line where the look doesn't overwhelm the story. He enjoys creating art where the form and the way it's made is part of the emotional experience. For Todd, finding crew is much like a casting process. A TV shooting schedule requires finding people who you can trust and rely on. When it came time to find other cinematographers, he wanted to hire artists that he respected for their work, and he wanted his fellow DPs to be able to put their own stamp on the show. John chose to work with Mihai Mălaimare Jr. (a former guest of the Cinepod) for season 1 and John Matysiak (also a former guest) for season 2. He has always admired Mihai's work, and Todd felt that he and John had the same taste. In season 2 of Winning Time, Todd had the chance to direct episode 3, “The Second Coming,” which tells Larry Bird's backstory. The episode also deals with Larry Bird's father's suicide, and he and the crew had a lot of conversations about how to be deeply respectful and responsible about portraying an event that really happened. Even though there has been some criticism of the show by a few of the real people portrayed in Winning Time, Todd feels that their job on the series is to treat the real-life characters with humanity and empathy. Todd grew up in the suburbs of San Dimas, and he knew he always wanted to work in the movies. As a kid, he made home movies all through junior high and high school. He studied film at San Jose State, where he became the class's defacto cameraman. After film school, he went to AFI graduate school where he realized that cinematography was the career he wanted. Todd worked his way up, shooting music videos, camera assisting, and then becoming a director of photography. Blow the Man Down, a critically acclaimed feature he DPd, won awards at the Tribeca Film Festival. Todd was also the cinematographer for 2019's Hustlers, starring Jennifer Lopez.

One day in the summer of 2019, Solomon Hughes, a former Cal basketball star then working in academia, got a message from a former college teammate-turned actor: an untitled TV series was searching for someone to play the great basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
