From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

Some of my contemporaries who make movies, I know them to be some of the most ambitious,

driven, work-obsessed people, but they tend to, like, not get into that stuff.

And so you see, they're thinking, like, this is not the person that I know.

The person I know is, like, totally in the game.

The divide between who we are and who we want people to think we are is the anxious space filmmaker Mike White explores in his new movie, Brad's status. White, whose screenwriting credits

include The Good Girl, School of Rock, and Beatrice at Dinner, tells us about finding backers for his new movie,

about actually having a nervous breakdown

while making a sitcom called Cracking Up

and about teaming up with his dad on The Amazing Race, twice.

But first on the news banter, streamers Netflix and Hulu

are in the hunt for Emmys, but Amazon, not so much.

Stick around. It's the business from KCRW.

I'm joined by my partner in banter, Matt Bellany of the Hollywood reporter. Hello, Matt.

Hi there. So, this is Emmy Weekend, and as we speak, we're recording before we know the results.

But what we do know is that Netflix is in there in a huge way with 91 nominations.

Hulu is in there, of course, with the Handmaid's Tale, so they're breaking through.

Amazon, only 15.

That's quite a sharp disparity.

And there's indications lately that a lot of problems with original programming at Amazon.

Right.

And you could make the argument that, yes, Netflix is spending a lot more on original content than Amazon.
