Episode #473
Episode 473: 'The Musical' with Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino
Sep 25, 20261h 6m
This week we've got expert musical improvisors Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino with us to discuss a movie about a middle school musical gone way off course, at the hands of a drama teacher pushed to the edge. Part comedy, part film noir, it's the feature debut of director Giselle Bonilla, and it was a Sundance premiere. THE MUSICAL! Then we talk about other films that use film noir tropes to comedic ends, and pitch some actually-pretty-genius new movies in that genre too. Look out for Jess and Zach's movie, Mock Trial Listen to Off Book (or see it live !) What’s Good Alonso - Get your colonoscopy! Drea - Bob the Drag Queen even makes the Love Island Reunion show fun Jess - The Gilded Age on a plane Zach - The Wolves of Glendale, Go to the Woods Kevin - seeing the Rams live ITIDIC AMC Burbank Pepper-Spray Guy: Villain or Hero?

Episode #472: 'Practical Magic 2' with Angie Han
Sep 18, 20261h 2m
The stars of the original Practical Magic stars are back (at least, most of them) and just as cursed as ever. We have Hollywood Reporter TV Critic Angie Han with us to weigh in on whether this film left us feeling charmed, or like we'd been hit by a truck. Then, in honor of a family that has two sisters in every generation, we have a movie quiz about two-sister films!  What’s Good? Alonso - Meg Stalter’s Emmys ensemble Drea - uno spaghetto Angie - TrüFrü Dark and White Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Strawberries Kevin - Movie theater seat snobbery ITIDIC ‘ Woman Unknown’ Wins Venice Film Festival MPA Projects Proposed Federal Tax Credit would Add 143,000 Film & TV Jobs Staff Picks Drea - If I Go Will They Miss Me Alonso - Now, Voyager Angie - The History of Concrete Kevin - Martha Marcy May Marlene Here's a Letterboxd list of Two- and Three-Sister Movies Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Episode #471: It's Absurd, It's Disturbing, It's 'Buddy'
Sep 11, 20261 hour
Casper Kelly might be most famous for his this-shouldn't-be-so-creepy comedy short "Too Many Cooks." Now he's got his feature directorial debut on his hands (but don't sleep on Yule Log 2 , according to Alonso), and It's Buddy,  a comedy horror that owes a debt of gratitude to the insistent cheerfulness of Barney the Dinosaur. We'll get into all that, and then talk about some of our favorite times TV crossed over onto the big screens. What's Good: Alonso: kouign amann Drea: Minnesota State Fair Kevin: Costco belt ITIDIC • Summer U.S. Box Office Hits All-Time $4.76B Record: How Audiences Surrendered To Moviegoing • Telluride’s Top-Secret Film Was a Documentary and people are abuzz ( You Can See Everything , Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes doc) Staff Picks: Alonso: We Are Pat Drea: Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger Kevin: Colony (Gunche) Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Episode #469: ‘Tony’ with Katie Walsh
Aug 28, 20261h 3m
Hey, you! Be a buddy and take our listener survey! It'll help us keep the show great and maybe even...make it better?!  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! - Producer Marissa and the MaxFilm Gang *** The main character of TONY is Anthony Bourdain, but Matt Johnson’s latest film is not exactly a biopic. We have film critic Katie Walsh with us to discuss Dominic Sessa, Antonio Banderas, and the rest of the kitchen crew in this unusual coming of age movie. Then we’ll think up some other personalities we’d like to see inspire coming-of-age/early-life pics.  What’s Good Drea: actors with real teeth Katie: Matt Johnson’s biceps Kevin: finding childhood books ( Chilling Ghost Stories , and Choose Your Own Adventure: The Cave of Time and Revenge of the Rainbow Dragons ) ITIDIC Sold-Out Silent Film Fest Showcases Brand New Silent Films IndieWire: The Prescience of Disney’s Direct-to-Video Sequels Staff Picks Drea: The Cycle of Love Katie: The Rivals of Amziah King Kevin: The Conversation Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
