Scott Frank is one of Hollywood’s most prolific screenwriters but he still has perpetual anxiety about his job security. Scott and Marc talk about the impulse that keeps him grinding away, whether he’s working on original screenplays, rewrites, or his limited series like Godless, The Queen’s Gambit and his new Netflix show Department Q. They also talk about Scott’s mentors, his influences, and the construction of his most well known screenplays, like Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Minority Report, and Logan.

This month's collection of material that was cut from the regular WTF episodes includes continued conversation with Peter Wolf about the music industry luminaries he's encountered throughout his life. Also, sections from Marc's monologues where he talks about his Zyn addiction, the last days of his tour, his summer wardrobe, watching rough cuts of his special, and more.

Nick Kroll was one of the first dozen guests on WTF and in the nearly sixteen years of his life since then, loved ones have been lost, babies have been welcomed to the world, and Nick can now see things about himself that he couldn’t identify before. Nick and Marc talk about those changes, as well as the artwork of his wife Lily Kwong, the trip to Italy he made for his new movie I Don’t Understand You, and the fulfillment of creating eight seasons of Big Mouth.

After Brendan and Kris pay their respects (or lack thereof) to the King of Renaissance Fairs, they discuss the expansive world of Peter Wolf, the sad fate of the Tower Records listening stations, and Marc's kitchen sinks (all three of them). They follow that up with an exploration of theme park roller coasters and why Sam Rockwell was correct to choose The Mummy ride for his afternoon thrill break with Marc and Natasha Lyonne.Check out the Sleepless Cinematic Podcast here.Listen to Kris's sonic playlist companion for the Peter Wolf episode here.

Peter Wolf didn’t want to write the typical rock and roll memoir filled with lurid tales and score settling. Instead he wanted to write a collection of short stories that stem from his serendipitous encounters with everyone from Marilyn Monroe to David Lynch. Peter tells Marc how he wrestled with his own memories to write the book, how he drew from his friendships with Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, and how he got right with the topics he wanted to avoid, namely his time with The J. Geils Band and his marriage to Faye Dunaway.
