We're about to dive into Tony, the, uh, s- origin story of Anthony Bourdain, and we're about to talk to the two brilliant writers, uh, Lou Howe and Todd Bartels, about where this idea sprang from.
Daniela Taplin LundbergHOST
It was just something that they had come up with and decided to go and, and write it.
VanessaHOST
Yeah.

Tony is directed by Matt Johnson, written by Johnson, Matthew Miller, Todd Bartels, and Lou Howe, and is credited as being based on that book, based on, like, a story from Kitchen Confidential.
Eli BrownHOST
Definitely somewhat a dramatization, but historical in some aspects as well.

Um, distributed by A24 and, uh, released on August 7th of this past year, hour and six minute runtime.
