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

This week on The Business, we're taking one last look back at some of our favorite moments of the year that was.

Stories of bold gambles, big inspirations, crazy coincidences, and climbs back into the saddle.

An actual saddle on a literal horse.

We have writer and improv actor K. Cannon about making

the leap to directing with blockers. I said yes immediately and then I met with all of the producers.

So it's basically like me and 10 producer dudes. Former rodeo star, Brady Jan Drew, on the horrible

injury that led to a leading role in the awards contender,

the writer.

You know, I've had some things I've had to go through, but I've been getting better each day.

Dear white people creator Justin Simeon about the impact of growing up without ever seeing anyone like himself in movies or on TV.

Gay black looked like RuPaul and that was it.

And by the way, I live for RuPaul.

But that wasn't me. Tanya Saracho, creator of the stars series Vida, on dealing with a debilitating

spinal infection as her show was about to launch. So I was like Frida Kahlo on a bed, writing it.

And Crazy Rich Asians director John M. Chu and author Kevin Kwan on the proof that they were

destined to work together. There's a reference to me in the book itself. That is weird.

But first on the news banter, so what did the guys accuse of misconduct do over the holidays?

Stay tuned. It's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my New Year's buddy and banter,

Matt Bellany of a Hollywood reporter. Hello, Matt. Happy New Year. Same to you. So, Matt,

there's been this conversation off and on a year plus into the Times Up, Me Too movement of what's going to happen to some of these guys.
