Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker on The Conformist
Jun 15, 202658 min
Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, ASC was in the tenth grade when her English teacher screened “The Conformist” on a film print. A single scene—a car moving through trees, shot by Vittorio Storaro—changed the direction of her life. Now an Emmy-nominated cinematographer with credits spanning Netflix’s record-breaking “One Piece” and the Spirit Award-nominated feature “Dust Bunny,” Nicole brings a career built on visual intelligence to Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1970 psychological thriller. Andy Nelson and Pete Wright dig into Storaro’s color-as-psychology approach, the fascist architecture that makes bodies feel small on screen, and the forest sequence that echoes across decades into the Coen brothers and Roger Deakins. Nicole also talks about the 3:1 aspect ratio on “Dust Bunny” and why scope is worth fighting for in a world designed for phone screens. Her word for “The Conformist”: elegant darkness.

Production Designer Roger Fires on The Exorcist
May 18, 20261h 19mS7
Roger Fires is a production designer—”Nobody”, “Violent Night”, “Psycho Killer”—and one of the films he loves most is William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” (1973). He first encountered it not in a theater but through a wall as a child in Brazil, told not to watch and so he listened in the dark. That experience kept him away for nearly twenty years. At thirty he finally watched it and fell completely in love—and the specificity of that arc is what makes this conversation worth your time. Andy and Pete dig into what Roger calls the “unnoticeably good” standard: the refrigerated set, the spatial geometry, the window that marks two deaths and carries the film’s entire theological argument. They cover what makes Friedkin’s approach—dread over spectacle, religious drama over horror movie—still impossible to replicate, and Roger talks about his work on “Psycho Killer” and the “Scrubs” reboot along the way. 🎥 Watch on YouTube 🎬 Watch & Discover Watch Psycho Killer: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd Watch The Exorcist: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd What to Listen to Next: The Next Reel — The Exorcist —Andy and Pete’s full discussion of the film as part of the Ellen Burstyn series Sitting in the Dark — Possessed! —Pete's demons-and-possession episode with Lester and Kynan of The Exorcist Minute as guests Movies We Like — Kevin Conran on The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai —keep going with production designers on films they love Membership 🔓 The movie ends.

Producer/Writer Josh Hyams on The Thing
Apr 20, 20261h 14mS7
"Nobody... nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired.” Producer/writer Josh Hyams joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss The Thing , directed by John Carpenter. When it opened in June 1982, audiences weren't ready for it—it bombed against E.T. and was widely dismissed, even as its atmosphere of paranoia played out on screen. Decades later it's considered a landmark of practical effects filmmaking and one of the great ensemble horror films ever made. Hyams—whose BAFTA-nominated Mr. Burton is now in US release—has loved this film since seeing it at an outdoor cinema in Greece as a child. He brings a filmmaker's eye to Rob Bottin's creature work, Morricone's bare and atmospheric score, and a film that, as he puts it, "draws you in, it doesn't patronize you—it is a grown-up, cerebral, well-told horror film that takes its time." Forty years on, it's earned every word of that. 🎬 Watch & Discover 👤 Meet Josh Hyams: IMDb 🍿 Watch The Thing: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd 🍿 Watch Mr. Burton: Apple TV | Amazon | Letterboxd 📽️ The Thing — Original Theatrical Trailer 📽️ Mr. Burton — Official Trailer 📚 Adapted from Who Goes There? by John W.

Costume Designer Jenny Beavan on The Leopard
Mar 16, 202650 minS7
“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.” Costume designer Jenny Beavan joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss The Leopard , directed by Luchino Visconti—the landmark 1963 epic that showed her what period design could be. A three-time Oscar winner whose career spans A Room with a View , Mad Max: Fury Road , and Cruella , Beavan traces The Leopard back to a Soho cinema in the late sixties and the influence of a mentor who kept returning to what Piero Tosi achieved there. "He was obsessive, Piero Tosi. I don't think he was happy because it was never perfect enough. But he was one of the most incredible costume designers ever." The conversation also moves through her recent Nicholas Hytner film The Choral and the challenge of building an authentic world on nearly nothing—which turns out to be its own kind of craft lesson.

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.
