Adeel Shamsi & Jono Hunter
35 episodes
6 months ago
(Formerly the Blue Sky Podcast) Adeel Shamsi and Jono Hunter plunge into the madness of screenwriting with a vow to write a complete short film script in each episode. Backed by their extensive (and otherwise useless) movie knowledge, they stretch their improv skills to the limit and turn the randomized prompt (genre, theme, character arc, etc) into a rough first draft. Each script is then brought to life as a radio drama in that very same episode.

Foie Gras (feat. Alex Tindal)
It’s a tale as old as time. You’re 16, raised staunchly religious by your satanist parents. Instead of spinning Beatles Records backwards like a good little demon, you played them forwards to hear secret messages about god and love. Oh yea, then you and your best friend got turned into ducks and were sacrificed at your first Bacchanal. This week, actor, writer, and improviser Alex Tindal is on the show to help us tell a totally-normal story about a totally normal “Hellbilly teen that meets a talking duck”.

Control Room (feat. Emily Callahan)
We’ve all heard the rumours that Shakespeare had a ghost writer. The details are just a bit fuzzy. Actor and improviser Lance Oribello is on the show to help us bring things into focus for a “Shakespeare” prompt. Somehow, this evolves into the 17th century-Back to the Future-Dude Where’s My Car? crossover that no one asked for.

Ditched (feat. Brandon Craggs)
Romantic Comedies are usually about people getting together but in this story, we endeavour to tear them apart. Actor, writer, and improviser Brandon Craggs is on the scene to dismantle the “first love lost” prompt and the result is… pretty much the movie Hitched but in reverse. Though you’ve never asked for it, you’re welcome.

Twenty Dollars Short (feat. Ghazal Ghiami)
Glen Giddy is not laughing when he finds himself twenty dollars short on rent. Writer, performer, and comedian Ghazal Ghiami joins us to unpack the “worst day ever” prompt. Together they grapple with a struggling artist, a child of divorce, a John-Wick-obsessed landlord, and clandestine high school gamblers. Will Glen get to keep the lights on? Or is his (John) wick about to burn out?

The Key (feat. Chelsea Larkin)
Actor, Improviser, and writer Chelsea Larkin comes to the rescue after the “5 minutes to save the world” prompt threatens everything we hold dear. When the Pentagon detects an imminent nuclear launch, there's only one man who can stop it—a brooding, gravel-voiced agent with the grit of Batman and the intensity of Jack Bauer. The catch? The vital key to prevent Armageddon is in the possession of Jim Pickles, the Pentagon's bumbling concierge, who’s more concerned with the fact that he’s getting dumped and kicked out of his house for some highly questionable Facebook activity. With just 5 minutes on the clock, our hero must race against time, cut through chaos, and somehow reason with the hapless Pickles before it's too late.

Money Shot (feat. J.J. Greenberg)
Actor and Improviser J.J. Greenberg thrust into the world of adult filmmaking after pulling the prompt “Judd Apatow” (and somehow it all makes sense). The story follows super-successful adult film star John Thrust, who yearns for a career in ‘real’ movies but the offer of a lifetime leaves him at a crossroads. Will John pull out of his career, even if it costs him the ones he loves? Or will he put his money where his mouth is?

Putt 2 Death (feat. Tim Blair)
Actor, Writer, Standup Comedian, Improviser, and Actual Tall Boy, Tim Blair joins us to tackle yet another “Sports” prompt. This time, it’s the most extreme sport there is: Mini Putt! Retired champion, Gilligan Condor, must dust off his putter and enmesh himself into a group of elite (and definitely evil) minigolfers in a high-stakes tournament where the cost of losing is death. Will Condor succeed in bringing these crooks to justice? Or will he be…Putt To Death?

My Robot
Adeel and Jono are left to their own devices to face yet another 'musical' prompt. Seeking inspiration, they also draw "robot" and "fight scene" from the bowl and use them to craft an improvised musical about a displaced robot named Chris Paul in search of its human owner. Will the boys win a Grammy? No. Will Chris Paul find what he’s looking for? You’ll have to suffer through it to find out.

Chünk
In this “Bottle Episode”, Adeel and Jono’s love of filmmaking once again forms the backdrop of the story. This time, it’s a hot-headed casting session wherein a production team debates the lead role for a new feature film. The director wants to cast 6’4” dreamboat Brock Dormand, while the producer pushes for Paul Chünk, an inexperienced and dorky actor with astonishingly-large hands. As tempers flare, we learn there may be an ulterior motive to the producer’s choice.

The Cloudfire Chronicles: An Unsanctioned Star Wars Story
Adeel and Jono are back in full force with a new season and a new name! They kick things off with their most epic script yet: a Star Wars Stoner comedy! After the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of Darth Vader, the Jedi order has been all but decimated and the galactic empire scours the outer rim to snuff out the remaining few. Meanwhile, on the desert planet of Tatooine, a lesser-known Jedi, Caelum Cloudfire, is in hiding and has hung up his lightsaber in favor of a bong, lit by his fading spark of rebellion. As Sith Lord, Darth V’iruz closes in, Cloudfire sinks deeper into his couch, high on the dankest weed in the galaxy: Yoda Kush.
