It’s the seventy-fourth episode of On The List with Brett Gursky. This week's guests Cherry Chevapravatdumrong & Teresa Hsiao talk all about their hilarious new movie “Joy Ride”. They share behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the movie- Everything from writing the script, to casting the roles with actors like Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, & Sabrina Wu, to shooting the film in Vancouver. Cherry & Teresa also discuss their extensive careers writing for television, including the shows they’ve written on together- like “Family Guy” & “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens” (which Teresa also created)- and separately- like “American Dad”, “The Orville”, and “Fresh Off The Boat”. They talk about their upbringings in Michigan & Boston, their college experiences at Yale & Harvard, and why they ultimately gave up potential careers as lawyers and bankers to become comedy writers instead. They also offer insight into the current Writers Strike and, last but not least, they share their advice for aspiring writers everywhere. Be sure to check out “Joy Ride”, in theaters nationwide on July 7th!
