ICYMI | Encore: Jubilee Is Making Debating Worse

When screenwriter Russell Hainline first moved to L.A., his goal was to write high-budget monster movies and thrillers. Then one day, he was prompted to write a Hallmark holiday rom-com, and something clicked.
In this special holiday episode, Russell talks about his breakout Netflix hit Hot Frosty and how he found his groove writing movies for the Hallmark Channel. He also gets to the heart of why people connect to these movies and explains how he’s able to convey steamy sexual tension between chaste TV movie characters.

ICYMI | Why Are So Many Celebrities Joining Substack?

On today’s episode host Kate Lindsay is joined by porn historian <a href="https://www.instagram.com/all_day_breakfast_/?hl=en">Noelle Perdue</a>, author of the <a href="https://noelleperdue.substack.com/">Porn World</a> newsletter. OpenAI announced that they’d allow adult users to have erotic conversations with ChatGPT, just one more way AI and porn are becoming intertwined. As sex becomes more online, not only does it become more solitary, but also more surveilled. Both of these things are intended to divide us, but Noelle is confident that AI’s attempted sex-takeover will fail.
