Summary

Legend has it that women have been a pivotal part of the film industry since its conception, even though some corners of the internet get really angry if you say that. But this week on NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING, our guests Lauren Lapkus, Jackie Tohn, and Michael Urie get to the bottom of the mystery that is women in film (in an episode written and produced by women, as all of our episodes are)!

Guests: Actor Michael Urie (“Shrinking,” “Younger,” “Ugly Betty,”); actress and comedian Lauren Lapkus (“Comedy Bang Bang!” “Good Girls,”) and actress Jackie Tohn (“Nobody Wants This,” “GLOW”)

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a production of The Black List, LAist Studios, and The Ankler.
