In this episode, I brought on my great friend and aspiring writer Jacob Slavitt to catch up on what we've been up to since the Season 3 interview of the Kings of Comedy. We started to discuss Jacob's creative process when it comes to writing scripts and producing personal projects. Also, we discussed both our full insights of the Blade Runner Franchise, HBO's hit Original Series 'Barry', and lastly 'The Last Dance', a documentary about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls winning their sixth championship in '98. We both share out love for film and television through our favorite shows and movies. It is such an amazing episode to listen to and there's no one I would start this podcast with him as my guest. Like myself, we're both Communication majors and we love create/collaborate ideas. I hope everybody enjoys this episode.

Barry Berkman & Rick Deckard Walk Into a Bar (with Jacob Slavitt)

After 15 years of trying divorce cases in the courts, Barry Berkman had come to realize that ‘nobody ever won a divorce case.’ Litigation comes with a high price tag in the form of expense and the toxic effect on everyone involved, especially the children. So he started looking for a better way.
