We sit down with writers producers, and the cast for a conversation about PV & Franny. ___ At a school where no one knows who's inside the football team's bulldog mascot costume, where a game of hide-and-seek has been going on for the better part of a week, where Dale Wilson, the world's nicest bully, desperately wishes kids would stop giving him their lunch money, two wayward fifteen-year-olds are about to start a band.  PV & Franny is a stylized and occasionally surreal 30-minute single-cam comedy about young love, growing up weird, and making music. It follows PV, a confident, take-no-prisoners punk rocker in training, and Franny, a sensitive and taciturn singer-songwriter type, as they navigate falling in and out of love, artistic collaboration, and the perennial difficulty of tuning a B string. It's Sing Street meets The Other Two, with a healthy dose of cult classic The Adventures of Pete & Pete for good measure.  Written by the talented Tommy Wallach, and narrated by Ty Burrell, Fred Armisen and other notable names, the two-part series tells the story of two young souls who cross paths in school. Franny is immediately impressed by PV's musical talents, but their connection takes an unexpected turn when PV seeks Franny's help to solve a personal dilemma. Tune in to discover the heartwarming dynamics of friendship, intimacy, and the complexities of young love. In addition to Burrell and Armisen, the star-studded cast includes Liam Richardson, Kensington Tallman, Rahm Braslaw, O’neill Monahan, Samantha Morelos, Eileen Fogarty, and Ruben Ray each adding their unique flair to the narrative.  ____ Follow Table Read (@TableReadPodcastLA) on Instagram for more info!

LOVE & DARKNESS is a multi-generational saga tracking the triumphs and tragedies of a large, powerful Hungarian Jewish family during WWII. Based on an incredible true story, this project will be adapted as an action-packed historical podcast. LOVE & DARKNESS explores themes of discrimination, anti-Semitism and hope that remain relevant in today’s world. With these timely issues in mind, we will be partnering with a to-be-announced philanthropic organization that we will be supporting through this podcast.Summary:Avrum Katz (47) is a Rabbi and the patriarch of a large family in 1941 Hungary. Hungary is an ally of Nazi Germany and has been implementing increasingly strict anti-Jewish laws. Avrum’s family owns a farm and butcher shop in a small town. His son, Dov (22), brings a Christian woman, Inga (22), to the bris of Avrum’s first grandchild. Captain Tibor (30s), a Christian army captain, sees Inga at the celebration. He becomes enraged when he learns that Inga loves Dov and not him. In retaliation, Tibor has the Katz’s butchershop shut down, cutting off the family’s livelihood. Dov is infuriated and beats up Captain Tibor. Avrum and his son Isaac (24) travel to Budapest to meet with Moshe (70), Avrum’s estranged father and a powerful businessman, to ask if he can get the shop’s license reinstated. While there, Avrum and Moshe are unjustly arrested by the police for “inciting rebellion.” It’s clear that Captain Tibor is responsible. As payback, Dov, Isaac, their brother Wolf (23), and Uncle Yehuda (43) murder Gyorgy (40s), an anti-Semitic neighbor who reported the Katz family to Captain Tibor. Captain Tibor slays the family’s cattle as revenge. It's then shockingly revealed that Captain Tibor is secretly Jewish. In the final scenes, Avrum and Moshe are at the forefront of the Hungarian and Nazi’s battle against Russia. They have been forced into the Hungarian army’s Forced Labor Battalion. Moshe offers to walk in front of Avrum so Avrum can say a prayer before the men are forced to cross a minefield. Moshe is then killed by an exploding mine in front of his son. When it’s Avrum’s turn, he miraculously makes it to the other side and becomes determined to escape.
