    Jenna Ricker Feb 25, 2020
    Show notes

    This week's guest is actor, writer, producer, director, JENNA RICKER! Meeting Jenna (Ben's Plan, The American Side) was such a lucky catch with both our schedules - but we had our share of struggles to get to the start, let alone the finish line. We met up in NYC at a restaurant, and by the time we finally found a quiet spot... the restaurant staff decided to have their meal right next to us! Technical difficulties aside, I was not about to let this opportunity slip by. So plug in your headphones and pull up a seat at the table, we're ready for you to join! We talked about being a "lazy actor," Terms of Endearment, music in film, creativity in math, how to recharge, being patronized during financing, comebacks, problem solving, Janet Guthrie and more!

    Follow her work at #jointheconspiracy #theamericanside #qualified #30for30film. She's working on adapting several of her existing projects into new series' - follow Jenna below to hear more!

    Show notes

    Our guest this week is brilliant human, actor, writer, dog mom, SARAH MCVIE! You know Sarah from her hilarious role as Val on Workin' Moms and in the latest season of The Handmaid's Tale. She's also an award-winning theatre actor and writer! For this chat, she stopped by my place while she was in LA, but we're actually neighbours in Toronto! She has a beautiful Bichon Frise Shih Tzu named Coco, and we see each other at the dog park all the time. My dog Rufus wasn't having the best time, so he's only around at the beginning, but I think he adds some cute ambient kinda sound, right?

    Let us know either way @firecrackerdept!

    LA Comedy Panel Feb 11, 2020
    Show notes

    Our guests (plural!) on the podcast this week are coming to you LIVE from the launch of our LA chapter at the Impro Theatre in Los Angeles! We hosted a fierce panel of LA comedians led by Naomi @snieckus, including Alana Johnston, Madi Goff, and Katie Thomas, in front of our first-ever live firecracker audience!

    This hilarious panel of ladies talk candidly about building your own reputation, Mary Tyler Moore, complaining vs self deprecation, feminism, elbows and more! AND we promise it doesn't start with "What's it like to be a WOOOMAN in COOOMEDY?!?" ...because BLHSNCLVRPJGJPERVMS!

    We had such a good crowd and I love these ladies so much! One wanted to be the first female player in the NBA, one has never booked a gig through an actual audition, one is pregnant, and they are ALL just fantastically funny firecracker women. Panel begins at 05:00!
