NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING: We Love L.A.

Los Angeles has been through a lot this year. It’s hard to find a single person in Los Angeles who hasn’t been affected in some way by the recent wildfires. There’s so much to be sad and even scared about right now, but since we can’t fix all of that, we’re here to do what we know best — in the words of the great Donald O’Connor: “Make ‘em laugh.” In this episode, we honor all of our friends, neighbors, and nemeses that call Los Angeles home, and put on a show that’s all about the movies that make us proud to be Angelenos. Guests: Writer/director Jason Reitman (“Saturday Night,” “Up in the Air”);  writer/director/producer Julie Plec (“The Vampire Diaries,” “The Originals”); and actor and host Joe Manganiello (“Deal or No Deal Island,” “Magic Mike”). NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler. This episode is presented by NEON, and the movie "Anora."

Support for this podcast is also brought to you by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes L.A. a better place to live. New episodes premiere Tuesdays and you can listen to the show on the radio at LAist 89.3 Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 10 p.m.

Hollywood, The Sequel is a limited-run podcast series in which leading journalist John Horn asks some of the most important and influential people in film, television and entertainment at large (established stars and emerging taleånt) about how they hope Hollywood will change in this moment of severe disruption.
