Our motto is that if you want to record a podcast, you gotta do the research to sound like you know what you’re talking about. And while we’re at it, your performance review is coming up. You’ve shown some real initiative downloading our episodes, as well as having an enthusiastic attitude to our posts. But if you ever miss an episode again, make no mistake. We will terminate you.
Of course we won’t! Because we’re too busy laughing at all the self-help management talk in Dan Gilroys stand out debut film, Nightcrawler (2014). We’re also too busy spending some of it completely frightened at Jake Gyllenhaals unforgettable performance as Lou Bloom, a man who becomes obsessed with capturing the horrific accidents and murders in Los Angeles for local news networks. We also have to shout out to Riz Ahmed, who also nailed it with his performance as Rick (the interview scene with “hire rick” is a particular pod favourite moment). In our SOTW section, we’ll be covering Rachel Stubbings short, Mum of the Year, which we all had a good laugh at indeed.
This episode is extra special as joining us all the way from Brooklyn, as well as having us convinced he is actually the real Bruce Wayne, it’s Dylan! A special friend of the NYFYF community, he holds it down for our American market, whilst also advising us that if we ever go public on the stock exchange, he’ll make sure to “take care of all the details”. Dylan practically schooled us all on American history and its media landscape, which sounded twice as cool through his thick take-no-bullshit Brooklyn accent. If you ever find yourself in New York, he’ll take you down to the guys at Joes Pizza in Greenwich, demanding you eat a slice whilst educating you on what a real slice of pizza is. (also shout out to Joes Pizza in Greenwich. We know the score).
Happy listening.
