Miss Americana and The Assistant

Did we learn anything new from 'Miss Americana', Taylor Swift’s new Netflix documentary? Where does the film fit in the library of 'female musician documentaries'? What is the work that goes into documenting her work? The Assistant is a film about one day in the work life – which is her only life – of a Hollywood assistant. Director Kitty Green joins us to talk about showing the many ways a workplace and culture can be abusive. Each week Duana and Lainey deep dive into work behind the gossip, the shows, the scripts, and the screenplays. From casting decisions to image management to the process of putting an idea onto the stage or the big screen, Show Your Work is a film or theatre geek's essential weekly listen.
