    NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING

    NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is 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. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays and can also be heard on LAist 89.3 on weekends.
