The Business of TalentRyan Coogler’s Game-Changing Sinners Studio Deal ExplainedSam and Jordan discuss the significant deal that filmmaker Ryan Coogler has secured for his new movie, 'Sinners.' The deal includes highly unusual points such as final cut rights, first dollar gross, and ownership rights reverting to Coogler after 25 years. These terms represent a monumental shift in power dynamics for filmmakers, especially for those from marginalized communities. They also delve into historical precedents, highlighting similar deals by directors like Christopher Nolan and Tyler Perry, and discuss the broader implications for the future of filmmaking and creative ownership in Hollywood.00:00 Introduction00:20 Casual Catch-Up and Setting the Scene2025-05-0220 minThe Business of TalentThis Platform is Redefining Creator x Brand PartnershipsIn this episode of the Business of Talent Podcast, hosts Sam and Jordan are joined by Tiffany Kelly, the founder and CEO of Curastory.

Doctor HuhCyberman Is the Name of the DoctorWe're back with the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost episode of all time, series 12 episode 8, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"! In multiple ways, this is an episode about spreading misinformation about the writing of Frankenstein. Who did it better, Maxine Alderton or Jordan? Please don't @ us. Forget about these writers though, the real star of the show this week is our imaginary version of Graham! What an absolute belter!

Sam @samtaylor922024-01-1403 minDoctor HuhFreaked-Up White ManThis week, we're going back to school with series 8 episode 6, "The Caretaker"! The Twelfth Doctor is going deep undercover, which means he's wearing coveralls and holding a mop and telling everyone that he's an alien called the Doctor. Meanwhile, he and Clara's boyfriend Danny are fighting over her love! Sounds annoying, right? Wrong! We liked this episode! Also there was a robot in it at some point!
(We're going to be off for a couple weeks, but we will return with an episode that made Jordan scream when the title came up, so look forward to that!)2023-06-051h 48Doctor HuhScoopus and GallantBad news for fans of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: this week's episode, series 3 episode 7, "42", has absolutely nothing to do with it! Instead, we've got a sweaty assembly of losers on a hot, hot spaceship hurtling into the sun. Fittingly, things get "heated" (ha ha) on the podcast as Jordan inexplicably refuses to hear Sam's very reasonable criticism of the episode. Unfortunately for Jordan, Sam is the one writing this description! Don't worry, most of that is edited out. Good thing we put aside our differences long enough to come up with Scoopus and Gallant!
Sam | Jordan2023-05-291h 35Doctor HuhNew Year's Dalekin' EveWe're stepping out of the Backpack Era - no matter what Jordan says - and into the Episode Directly Before Legend of the Sea Devils Era with the first 2022 special, "Eve of the Daleks"! It's a refreshing reminder that Chris Chibnall really can make a great Doctor Who episode. Maybe there's joy to be found in very very recent Doctor Who after all! Watch this episode a few times and you'll agree.
(Also, something went wrong with Jordan's recording and we had to use the worse-sounding backup! Sorry!)

Friend of the show Chai has joined us to talk about series 12 episode 4, "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror"! It's an episode that was very much written in the era of Nikola Tesla fandom, and we all have some opinions about that, except for Sam who is just smiling and nodding. We all learned a lot this week, and some of it was even about Nikola Tesla. Hey, maybe you'll learn something too!

It's our first dose of series 13, "Flux", specifically episode 3, "Once, Upon Time"! Definitely not an episode intended to be watched out of order, but seemingly not an episode that benefits from being watched in order either. It may have been incomprehensible to us, but we'll do our best to make it vaguely comprehensible to you! This episode was truly engineered in a lab to make Jordan angry at every turn. If that sounds good to you, as it does to me, then you're going to have a great time!

Well, Sam decided to ring in the new year by getting COVID and we haven't been able to record that episode yet. Instead, please enjoy our already-recorded Patreon bonus episode on parts 1 and 2 of Classic Who season 15's first serial, "Horror of Fang Rock"! It's got the Fourth Doctor running up and down a lighthouse for 40 minutes. A lot of people love it! One of us liked it! Hopefully next time we'll love it.

I don't know when it is) because this week we're talking about Doctor Who 2022 special #2, "Legend of the Sea Devils"! This is a very recent episode, featuring Jodie Whittakré, as Jordan has decided to call her for some reason. Will the Thirteenth Doctor prove herself an old salt and join our crew of hearties? Or will she be a scurvy dog, scupper our jibs and leave us keelhauling our peg legs? Good thing we had so much time on our last podcast to practice our pirate voices!2022-11-141h 49

In this week's episode, we read chapter 23, "Through Your Eyes", and found an excuse to scream at each other instead of screaming at the author. Make no mistake, though: the content still deserves it! In the end, no matter how much we fight about Master Chief's voice, we will always be united against Kessi. That's what family is all about, and it's something the Tragers will never understand, which is why they should all be in prison.

Madison continues to exist, Ben and Adrian get together to talk about how boring the show is and how much Amy sucks, and Ethan and Kathy continue to exist. All bad things!

We have found a polarizing episode. Friend of the show Matt joins Jordan on Team Wrong this week to incorrectly claim that S03E03, “Get Out of Town”, isn’t that bad, while Sam confirms that it’s one of the worst. The fact is, this episode was trash and Sam is good and smart. Jordan and Matt told Sam they will each give him $100 as an apology for thinking this episode wasn’t terrible! How nice!

Not a whole lot of redeeming qualities to this episode, it turns out! Ken Fields exposes himself as a fraud, Sam exposes himself as a hypocrite, and Grant exposes himself as a serial killer again, just for good measure. This week, we enter the Ricky Retrieval Arc.

Jordan is still in Japan but we’ve thought of a way to fill the gap he created by funny deleting his “Just Say Me” audio: we’ve fed the script of that Secret Life episode into Botnik Voicebox, an app that takes a text file and creates a predictive text keyboard, and with it we can create a script for a dramatic reading of what you all missed!

Jordan is going to Japan soon so we’re recording double the episodes until then so you don’t have to miss a second of that sweet content. What this means, unfortunately, is that we are going to be getting more and more exhausted and miserable with each passing episode. So, in other words, business as usual!

Looks like breakups are on the horizon, and you have to wonder why the last episode was titled “You Don’t Know What You Got…” and not this one.

Of course you do! She’s been here the whole time, but she’s really in the spotlight this week on S02E10, “Knocked Up, Who’s There?” AKA the title they wish they had thought of in season 1. It’s another relatively tolerable episode, besides Tom and Tammy and Lauren and Madison and Griffin and uhhh why did we kind of like this one again? Oh, that’s right, because of the cool belt buckle Jordan noticed an extra wearing. This week, Lauren’s parents still hate Amy.

This week, we’re talking about S01E18, “Making Up Is Hard to Do”, and it’s another bad one, folks! The dialog is somehow more robotic than ever before, and I guess over the break all of the characters forgot what they were doing and why they’re doing it. But one thing is consistent, at least: doctors on this show don’t know how to keep their mouths shut. This week, Sam learns about birth control.

We’re here this week talking about S01E12, “The Secret Wedding of the American Teenager”. The one time you really want the title to have nothing to do with the plot of the episode, and it’s completely accurate. This episode was so bad, Jordan’s throat exploded and he sounds awful.
