NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING

From the team behind the first episode of NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING comes a second episode that’s bigger, bolder, and more explosive…That’s right, it’s a sequel!

In this week’s episode, we take a page out of Gladiator II’s book and pit your favorite Hollywood minds against each other in the Colosseum…aka, make them play games in a small, enclosed studio. Does anyone actually know what it takes to make a good sequel? 

Guests: Actor and writer Joel Kim Booster (“Fire Island,” “Loot”); actress Michaela Watkins (“Suze,” “You Hurt My Feelings”); and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes (“Queer,” “Challengers”). 

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler. This episode is presented by FX.

Support for this podcast is also brought to you by Gordon and Donna Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes L.A. a better place to live.

New episodes premiere Tuesdays and you can listen to the show on the radio at LAist 89.3 on weekends. 

Introducing NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING, a new show about how difficult – but not impossible – it is to make something actually good in Hollywood. Join LAist and The Black List each week as we put your favorite actors, directors, and writers through the wringer to see if they’ve got what it takes to make a successful movie or TV show – with, of course, an escalating series of helpful studio executive notes. In the process, we’ll poke fun at the industry we know and love, and see if famed screenwriter William Goldman was right when he said, “Nobody knows anything.”

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is hosted by Franklin Leonard, founder and CEO of The Black List, a platform that helps Hollywood discover great scripts. The show is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler.

The first episode premieres on Tuesday, December 10 and is supported by presenting sponsor FX. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays and can also be heard on LAist 89.3 on weekends.
