  Speaker 1: for sure. Now when I look at this body of work,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know it. First of all, it's just shows a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: range that's a comedy, I see drama, I see action, adventure,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sci fi. Uh, and then this then we have this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: new series series, Home Before Dog. If you don't mind,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Before we get to Home Before Dog, I'd just like
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to talk about and compliment you on your body of work, uh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that you that you put before and just just just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just tell us about your mindset from a creative standpoint
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: when you walk into projects and such a such a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: level of diverse projects that that I've just presented to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the two listeners on my podcast Money Making Conversation, Well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I just I go wherever I'm called. I mean, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: know that that sounds overly spiritual probably for this conversation,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but I really do try to read everything that comes
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: my way and think about whether or not it's the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: thing that needs to be made or the thing that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: needs to be said at that time, um and so.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And also by the way, sometimes it's just something that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I feel passionate about. Obviously, like Daredevil said a lot
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about justice and uh, you know about vigilante justice in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: particular and having to work sometimes outside the system. But like,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: ultimately I was really just excited to work on a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Marvel show because I'm a nerd. So you know, it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's sometimes it's fun and sometimes there's messaging. Um in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: terms of why I go where I go, that's the reason,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and in terms of like why the different genres and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the breadth of the work. One of the things I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: really love about what we do. And I tell this
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to my students because they teach at USC and Sundance
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and a couple other places. We can really write ourselves
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out of any corner. And it's been sort of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: most beautiful part of my career has been this ability
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to not get pigeon holes into anyone thing. It's every
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: time you know, you think, Okay, well, I guess she's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a romantic comedy writers, Well let me show you this
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: dark drama that I just wrote completely your expectations. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: um so yeah, it's it's really is. One of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: most wonderful things about being a writers is being able
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to have that breath and it is beautiful. I'm looking
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at your body work now. Okay, I'm a nerd Marvel, Netflix, Okay, Daredevil,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: my wife and I oh, I'm telling you. We we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just couldn't wait, and we were big when we started.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't stop every time. Now to starve the show.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Charlie Cox okay, incredible athletes, excellent actor. But the fight
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: scenes though, yeah, I mean, and you know one of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: my favorite all time fight scenes was when he was
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: coming down the stairwell, remember that scene. Incredible, Yeah, that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we we used that fight scene, the hallways, that that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: hallway fight scene, the stairwell one in my episode, the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fire escape one. Always there's a hallway one in um
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the first season, which is incredible, that's like a one,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: but it didn't that fire escape one. Oh my god,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the five escape one was really really fun to shoot. Yeah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that was really
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: cool for me was I went from Shooter, you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: where we only had seven days to shoot our sequences
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and didn't always feel as safe as it might um
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and uh, and then we went I went to Daredevil
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and I was really I mean, that machine is such
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a I'm very happy for everybody at Dizzy plus who
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: are who are now you know, getting to make these
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: new Marvel shows. That's the way that those Marvel Netflix
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: shows was was run was really quite remarkable, and they
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: took such teainstaking care to make every single one of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: those action sequences fun as how, completely reminiscent of the comics,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and also really safe for everybody involved. So it was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: really it was. And by the way, I grew up
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in New York City, so I would text like my
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: my movie nerd friends who I grew up with and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: be like, I am shooting. And actually, because I used
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to like hang out on the soup and you know
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the fears of my friends. Oh my god, that's awesome.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You know the thing about Daredevil and I I'm not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna bring up okay that those two
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: fight scenes were great. And then the fight scene where
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he had to break out of the prison. Remember that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: one of course, my dear friends one Master Dean wrote
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wrote that one, and I mean he kills it. That's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: my favorite sequence in the whole season. Okay, now I'm
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you my favorite scene sequence was when the Punisher.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Remember when the Punisher was sent in to kill that
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: guy and he had to he came out and realized
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he had been set up and he had his way. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm that was the most brutal. That was great. Come on, dog,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that was brutal. But I loved it. I went wow,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I just I was tired watching it. I'm like, this
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: guy has to be incredible shape. I was like, oh
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: my god. So so it's just it's just the fascination
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of being able to do work like that. Do I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just I'm kind of you know, which ain't to be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on your shoulder just watching sometimes because that stuff is great.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'm a little Nerrid, I'm sorry, it's really and you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: know that real it really is a good back to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the thing that I started saying, right is like one
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of the reasons to sign on to a Marvel shild
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: has that kind of read. If you can actually sort
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of within that, you can use that as a platform
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to say whatever you want to say. You can talk
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: about vigilante justice, you could talk about in the system.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You can, and you know that it's actually getting out
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: there in the world is supposed to. When I was
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: on Island sick, I loved I Love Dick. It was great,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but ultimately I'm pretty sure we were mostly preaching to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the choir. I don't think that the feminist message much
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: beyond the feminist audience you know that ended up finding it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The Marvel shoesn't really are really special because of their reach.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Well they're not only special because the writing. I love
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the character development, you know, and you know how you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: remember when he came, he was in he was at
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the bottom I think it bottom the church and just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: watching him suffer and to deal with the pain. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I guess you're saying this, this dude really did watch series.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It's I'm sorry, Yeah, we were and everybody on the show,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like really took such incredible care with the with the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: original material. Everybody with a deep fan of the material,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: everybody read the most recent comics. We wanted to make
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: sure that it was something that the deep fans of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the show would love but also be surprised by, you know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: be influenced by the comics, but not follow them so
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: closely that everybody knew what was coming. Um, it was
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a real bummer for everybody when that got canceled. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I was, really, why are you going to do that?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You don't bring up the bed. So we were going
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to go and you know, I know it's canceled, you know, God,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: God bless, but I really wanted that fourth season for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: all the folks at day. I was very lucky by then.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I had moved on to home before dark, but I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: had a lot of friends who are still on the show.

  Speaker 1: dot ai. Great transition to an amazing series that I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: had the fortune of screening this weekend and m and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: watch amazing nayo actors called Brooklyn Princes. You know, you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you know Dakota Fanning. I thought she was brilliant, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: watching her do her things. Um, and then transition in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: through teen and now as an adult actors, she is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: always very difficult to do. UM. I'm looking at this
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: young lady. Tell us about her u in the whole
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: casting process to bring on board. And before we really
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: get into detail about the series Home before Dawk, we
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: were very lucky in that we were told that Brooklyn
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Prince's parents were not that excited about doing a television
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: show that they you know, they knew that that was
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a commitment that they didn't necessarily want to put their
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: kids through because they have a very they have very
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: nice life inse Florida, like as a regular family. And UM,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we sort of the woman who brought me the original
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: underlying material said me, you know what if we just
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: send it to her and let's just see what happens.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And we got them to read it and they and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn both loved and read the scripts. And in the meantime,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: we have been we had been auditioning all of these
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: other kids, and none of them were getting it. I mean,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: looking back the idea that we were we decided to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: do a television show about a nine year old girl
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: without having the said nine year old girl at task already,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: who we knew could actually handle this sort of it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: crazy that we decided to do that, because the show
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: could have been a disaster with the wrong kids. UM.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But we ended up getting her and her father to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: read with John to our director um on a long
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: distance audition. And the thing that was so remarkable was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that Brooklyn and her dad would like correct each other.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They had this sort of peer relationship where like, hey, Dad,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you missed the line and he's like, oh sorry, And
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you could see that they really respected each other as
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: colleagues as much as you know, she's he's also her father,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly the same as the real healthy and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: her father. They deeply respect each other and they have
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a very peer like relationships. They're almost like, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: crime investigative, like crime partners in a lot of ways.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: The way that they tell stories is almost like the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: way like people who have been married for fifty years
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: tell stories, like remember when you did the thing in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the place that okay, find you tell that first. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that's very much Brooklyn on her dad, because we knew
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that Brooklyn would understand what we were writing in terms
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of like reflecting the real healthy. Oh it's beautiful. It's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: just a beautiful script. Uh. You know. The one thing
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I love about watching creative writing is you know the story,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: watching the story developed. You know. And so, but before
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we go into the story, let's talk about the real
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: healthy And and I saw a social media post where
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you know, she had gotten stopped by police officer. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: believe in Arizona. And so she videotaped that and then
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: posted it and then then you reach you you you've
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: made a comment to on social media, and then she
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: said something about she doesn't do any interviews, and it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: was really funny watching this little mature girl have this
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: conversation with adults at a very professional level talk about
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that whole that whole relationship. I got all kicked off
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because I was just laughing watching I just watching the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: whole relationship build itself out on So your media and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: your your interaction, and you are a naturally funny person, doll.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just going with you. Thank you. It's really funny,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: it's really sweet. I mean, so, yes, she is incredible.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: She's a tiny warrior. And now she's actually not so
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: tiny anymore. She's a like fourteen fourteen years old. UM,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But when we met her, she was a tiny warrior.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that I actually
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I love about that video that you're talking about, by
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the way, that's a great example of like using your
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: privilege in a way that your people can't. UM. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I think that even though she's a journalist and she's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: non biased, I think she's very aware of that. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: think that she's aware of what she can and can't do,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and feels the obligation to report on those things specifically
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: because she can. Um. One of those things that she
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: said to us was, you know, one of the one
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of her. Even though she doesn't like it when people
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: call her a young journalist, she's just a journalist to her.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: She's also aware that like being a young female white
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: child in America, I means a people will sort of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: say and do things around her. They'll let their guard
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: down in a way that they kind of normally wouldn't.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And that was I mean, people literally would just confess
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: things to her. You know, she in her tiny town
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, she uncovered a mess rings, she uncovered a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: vandalism rings, And basically these were just people who didn't
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: take her seriously enough to realize that she was gonna
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: be essentially handing them straight into the arms of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: associates worry UM. And so we were really just so
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: taken by her, and we were really taken also by
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, her relationship with her father, who was a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: daily news reporter. UM for many many years covered homicides
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and the bronx and covered Savon Martin and covered new Town,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and he got so disillusioned by the news and the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: clickbait of it all that he left. He left New York.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: He took his four girls and his wife and brought
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: them to see Lescrow, Pennsylvania, back where he was from,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and he could write. He was really depressed. Um. He
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be writing a book. And Hildee, who
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he had taken to all of these crime scenes, was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the only one of his four daughters who had been
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: interested in journalism, started riding her bike around Seeland Scow,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and reporting these very small, very truthful stories, including
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: just down the street, a man killed his wife with
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the hammer and she scooped the local paper of that story. Um,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and and then those the story went viral, and the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: comments for the story went viral. The comments were awful.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: They were all about, you know, you're just a little girl,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: why aren't you having tea parties? And she's like, if
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you don't like the news, why don't you do something
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: about the news? And I love And that brought Matt
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: her dad out of his depression, and it really brought
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the whole family. Shining a light on the truth and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: reporting just the fact brought the whole family got together.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know how to be not
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: inspired by that story. You know, well, you know the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: thing about it. You can be inspired by the story,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: but how you develop it and make it and maintain
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: some level of realness and also entertainment because this is entertainment.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And and then as you built the story out, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: basically the reason the show work for me, it really
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: is a parenting show. It's a parenting storyline. It's about
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it's about a relationship between a common of age with
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: her her sister, older sister. You have a marriage that's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's dysfunctional that has to find itself, a father,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: father's son. It's a lot of abc D stories that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I felt were really relatable. And it's all sent around
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it's all centers around this young girl, which you're saying,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: stay true to yourself, don't let bullying turn you, don't
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: let the people not understanding you. And even in the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: story as we go through, there's some conflict with the dad,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you know, because he suddenly wants to become a parent,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and and and and and it's really it's really that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: what I enjoyed about it, and and I never was
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: bored in the whole process, but it was just watching
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: this young lady developed and then you guys doing that
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: little nice little skills set. She has like a photographic
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: memory type and that's real, that's actually true, had that
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: kind of memory. So it was it was an easy
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: thing to throw in there because it was the reality
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of the of the real kids. Well, all I wanted
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to just say is this is that you know this series.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I recommended all my fans on social media,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: all my fans or whatever. Ninety thousand um email fan
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: newsletter goes out every Friday, nine am. I'm putting it
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in that um I from the very beginning, I fell
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: in love with this young lady, Brooklyn Prince. If you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: guys know anything about him to talking to my listeners.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Now look her up. She's upon a five star and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: then she cries. She cries immediately, she laughs immediately, she
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: controls the scene, she knows how to, she knows the level.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: But throughout I think the key in this series she
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: remains a nine. She remains a nine year old child. Darry.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: That was the key for me, you know, because sometimes
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you can get these these kids actors and they go,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you're an adult. You're not You're not an adult. You're
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: nine years old, right, And I never believe that she
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was not nine years old. She's just a small your girl,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And I bought the storyline that guess what, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: she learned these things from following her dad on crime scenes.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And so all the all the layers that you wanted
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the story to bring credibility to stories, you definitely put
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: in there. Your your skill as a writer, as a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: co creator, as a co executive doucer, and a show runner,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and all the excuse me, executive and co show runner
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: shows out and uh, brilliant body at work. So so
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to stay before the clothes. So what
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: happens when you do a series, Dora, and then renew
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it they reknew it do before you air? What runs?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Do you mind? Did you go? Right? I don't even
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: know if I'm if I'm supposed to say this, but
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I'll say it anyway. Like we actually got renewed before
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: we were even I think officially done with the pilot.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Renewed essentially based on the basis of how the pilot
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: looked like it was turning out and how we had
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: written all the other scripts for the season, so they
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: were judging it based on how the scripts were coming in.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we were pretty poor. We were,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: we were you know, there's those moments where you mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it was even more than even more than I'm renewed,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: although yes, absolutely that. It was also like how did
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I get this lucky? You know what I mean? Like
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: how do I get this lucky to live this life
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and have this opportunity? Like holy crap. So that was
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: really incredible. Um, and you know, unfortunately the pandemic happened
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: right in the middle of the second season. But you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: we'll get back to work. It's safe to get back
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to working. In the meantime, this has really offered me
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to do a bunch of other stuff that
