Many thanks to our guest host this week, Erin Gibson! Check out her podcast Throwing Shade for more Erin every week.

Guest host Erin Gibson sits down with the veteran actor Sam Elliott. He’s currently starring in FX’s Justified and co-stars in the new movie I’ll See You In My Dreams with Blythe Danner.

He talks to us about being resistant to change, the ways in which his on-screen roles as cowboys and bikers do (and don’t) mirror his real life, how the Coen brothers snagged him for The Big Lebowski, and his stint on Parks and Recreation.

I’ll See You In My Dreams is in theaters this week.

Jesse sits down with comedy writer and producer Kay Cannon. She started off her TV career writing on 30 Rock, later moving on to write and executive produce New Girl. We’re also pretty sure she’s the first person to tackle the world of collegiate a cappella on the big screen in the screenplay for Pitch Perfect.

Cannon returned to that world to write the sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, which is in theaters this week.

She talks to us about why she sees Pitch Perfect as a sports movie (and not as a musical), coining new lingo for the world of a cappella singers, and honing her joke-writing at 30 Rock.
