| 0:00.0 | Hello, my name is Andy Greenwald. This is my podcast. Today's episode is a great one. |
| 0:20.9 | I got the chance to speak with a legendary Hollywood producer, the CEO of Valhalla Entertainment |
| 0:26.0 | Gail Ann Heard. She came in today to talk about her new project, which is a USA series called |
| 0:31.9 | Falling Water. The show premiered last week on Thursday nights at 10 PM Eastern. You can |
| 0:36.2 | catch the second episode tomorrow at 10 PM Eastern on the USA Network. It is a very stylized, |
| 0:42.3 | very trippy story about three people who maybe can share the same dream. It's a beautiful |
| 0:48.1 | show. It is a very dense show. It's a very intense show. I was excited to talk to Gail about |
| 0:51.8 | that, but I was also very excited to talk to her about the length and breadth of her |
| 0:54.8 | really amazing career from starting with Roger Korman, first as an assistant, and then eventually |
| 1:00.4 | learning the ropes of production where she met James Cameron. She went on to co-write the Terminator |

| 1:27.6 | and the focus it takes to be not just a super producer, but a producer, as well as the enduring |
| 1:33.1 | presence of sexism in the industry. I thought her answer to that question was particularly interesting. |
| 1:38.6 | Let's get into it. This is my conversation with Gail and Herd. |
| 1:51.7 | Gail and Herd, thank you so much for joining me. I hope you don't mind. I would love to talk |
| 1:55.9 | you about Falling Water, which is your latest project. They viewing this week, I believe, on USA. |
| 2:02.0 | It is Thursday, October 13th, 10, 9th Central. And we're going to be airing this post that, |
| 2:08.5 | but just ahead of the second episode. Okay, good. I think I can take Intune in for the second |
| 2:12.0 | episode tomorrow, although I highly recommend watching the first episode first, because it might be |
