While the series is hit & miss S1 Ep7 with entertainment industry exec Alan Horn is one of the gems, a solid 10/10. Intelligent & articulate Horn's one of those natural born storyteller's you could listen to for hours. Helps that he's got an amazing wealth of experience to draw from and a resume to die for. From an average upbringing in Long Island NY he earns a Harvard degree (and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do), does a stint as a US Air Force Captain then transitions from being an exec for Ivory Soap to the top of the entertainment business food chain. How he pulled that off a story in itself, my favorite bit when he breaks down telling how gutted he was when the cast of 'All In The Family' collectively froze him out. Starting with Lear's TV production companies he moved on to becoming Pres of 20th Century Fox, one of the founders of Castle Rock then Pres/COO of Warner Bros. He is currently Chief Creative Officer at Disney Studios.

A Mixbag of interviews with those in the movie business
bettycjung25 August 2017
Stephen Galloway interviews 11 people involved in various aspects of film making, from actor to producer. Not as enlightening as I thought it would be. Not everyone is comfortable being interviewed and Galloway did only an average job of drawing out the people he interviewed. Apatow and Hawke were the most comfortable and offered up some interesting insight into their craft and personalty. Miller, Cube and Thorton sounded passionate about their work. The rest didn't come off too well, given their reputation.
