  • Presenting “NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING”
    Mar 12 2025

    We have a special episode to share today of the podcast, NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING, a new LAist Studios podcast that gamifies the Hollywood creative process. Every week, the show puts your favorite actors, directors, and screenwriters through the wringer (a.k.a. through a series of games) to see if they’ve got what it takes to make it in Hollywood because the truth is, as famed screenwriter William Goldman put it, “Nobody knows anything.”


    In this episode, guests Fortune Feimster, Dana Fox, and Abdullah Saeed go head-to-head in a battle for points over movies about time travel, time loops, and the allure of going back in time to rewrite the future.


    Guests: Actor/comedian/writer Fortune Feimster ("FUBAR," "The Mindy Project"); writer Dana Fox ("Wicked," "Cruella"); and writer Abdullah Saeed ("Deli Boys," "Bong Appétit").


    NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler.


    New episodes premiere Tuesdays, and you can listen to the show on the radio at LAist 89.3 or LAist.com Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 10 p.m.
