A lot of older men in their 60s, 70s, 80s with guys in their 20s and 30s.

Guy DavisHOST
I mean, of course, I m- I imagine Jordan's got a fair bit of say in who gets to play this role.
Guy DavisHOST
David Geffen is the producer of this as well, and Geffen was a, I don't know if he was a producer on Risky Business.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Oh, right.
Guy DavisHOST

SarahHOST
Vampire movies were traditionally made at the lower end of the scale on a shoestring on rudimentary sets.
SarahHOST
David Geffen is very powerful and he poured money into interview.

I wanted to make it an epic scale of something like gone with the wind.
SarahHOST
And I really do think he succeeded.

LeahHOST
literally.
SarahHOST
He continues and says, I called David Geffen, who was a good friend.
SarahHOST
He was a producer and he'd just come to visit.
ZeusHOST
But here he was, the drummer of Nirvana, or as someone, Nirvani, Nirvina, Nirvina, Nirvana, okay? So, Bleach is their first album, sub-pop, sub-pop records, it was a hit, but it was an indie scene hit.
ZeusHOST
And then they signed with the David Geffen company, and boom, Warner Brothers and everyone...
ZeusHOST
And then they say, hey, let's make this album.
ZeusHOST
Never mind.
Dean BrownroutGUEST
I was more interested in the business aspects of the music business when I would pick up Rolling Stone or Cream.
Dean BrownroutGUEST
I would always go to the stories about David Geffen or Mo Austin, you know, and, you know, rather than I want to dream of being a rock star.
Dean BrownroutGUEST
Right.
Dean BrownroutGUEST
You know, it was the stories behind that.
Dan WilberHOST
Yeah, so he basically, through his shorts, he comes up with a short that feels a little bit similar to the real life, part of his inspiration.
Dan WilberHOST
David Geffen, I believe, comes to him and asks if he has an idea for a movie.
Dan WilberHOST
David Geffen was a producer on his album, A Star is Bought.
Dan WilberHOST
He worked on A Star is Bought with Harry Shearer, who he also worked with.
Dan WilberHOST
Harry Shearer was doing radio comedy at the time, and he worked on stuff with him.
Dan WilberHOST
Around this time, he also meets Monica Johnson, who becomes his main writing partner for most of his big movies.
Dan WilberHOST
And all this – David Geffen, all these things come together, and he pitches real life because he's inspired, and we'll get into it by this basically early reality TV documentary on PBS.
Dan WilberHOST
But just real quick, David Geffen's like – they're writing the movie.
Chris McCalebHOST
Do we say this every episode? Yes.
Chris McCalebHOST
