Episode 053 - Starry Eyes

Published: Aug. 29, 2019, 11 a.m.

A new entry in the Old Hollywood/Path-to-Fame/Demon Cult subgenre?! This week Ryan and Tim explore their relationship with living (and dying) in Tinseltown and the pitfalls of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. Starry Eyes hit particularly close to home for Tim and his past life as an actor, while Ryan was compelled to explore a more esoteric, philosophical, hypothesis, and wonders if the traditionally competitive industry could someday change its measure of success to include more people. With a standard “stream” from Ryan and an unusual “buy” from Tim, the guys really balance the good with the bad on this one.
