EP.14: The Science of World Building - A Conversation with Richard Morgan Two Guys From Hollywood

    • Society & Culture

Ever wonder what it’s like to be in an airport lounge with Tina Turner while someone mistakes her for Aretha Franklin? Well, you’ll hear all about Joey’s experience and other great Tina stories, along with Alan and Joey’s thoughts on her new documentary. They also dive into the new Gucci movie starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, and what Alan’s client Patricia Gucci *really* thinks of the whole thing (spoiler: she’s not pleased with certain elements). And joining the conversation this week is sci-fi and fantasy author Richard Morgan to discuss the science of world building, something he’s built an impressive career doing. Richard is the author of 9 novels, one of which, ALTERED CARBON, was made into a hit Netflix series of the same name. They talk world building, his process (or lack thereof) and what it’s like to be a consultant on a tv show adapted from something that started as an idea inside your head. Richard tells the story of how his career got started and gives great advice to all the authors out there trying to get their work published. As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy THE ALTERED PERCEPTION (hold onto your hats for this one). Find the full recipe and more on @twoguysfromhollywood on Instagram, and @TGFHPodcast on Twitter and Facebook. Cheers!
