3:05

But for now, two did to this replay

3:07

of our recent to grab life with

3:09

a Malka lead writer of

3:11

orphan black the next chapter.

3:16

Hi, Hey,

3:19

how are you? Thank you so much for

3:21

taking the time to

3:23

talk for anybody joining who doesn't

3:25

know. We're talking about Black The Next Chapter,

3:27

which is the official podcast continuation

3:30

of the show. And a

3:32

couple weeks ago, we had Marco,

3:34

who's the producer, and then And

3:36

then we had Christian who stars

3:38

in season two back as Donnie.

3:41

And so now we have Malka here, one

3:43

of the writers. So it's so great

3:45

to have

3:45

you. It's

3:47

great to be here, and it's always awesome

3:49

to connect with Club Club.

3:52

Yeah. That was actually one question I had was

3:54

was before you started working on orphan

3:56

black next

3:56

chapter, were you already an orphan black fan?

3:59

Like, what was your kind of relationship in

4:01

the beginning. I

4:04

was a huge fan. I

4:06

loved the TV show and that's why when

4:08

Brown came to me and asked me if I'd be interested

4:10

in working on a

4:11

continuation. I was just

4:13

so excited about it. And

4:15

you are you are on both season one and

4:18

season two. Correct? That's

4:19

right. What was the,

4:22

like, process, like, like,

4:24

from when you started, you

4:25

know, whenever realm talk to you about,

4:28

like, joining the project, like, kind of like, what

4:30

where did it go from there? Like, what was the process

4:32

like? So

4:35

they came to me and they wanted to talk first

4:37

about designing a pitch for what the

4:39

season could look like. And they

4:41

had already a couple of parameters

4:43

based on talking with the studio about

4:45

what they want. So we knew it was gonna be

4:48

a while after the end of the TV show, which

4:50

I was actually really happy about because the TV

4:52

show has such a great ending in conclusion.

4:54

And so, you know, I do wanna, like, jump

4:56

right on the end of that. But

4:58

at the same time, you know, having that space

5:01

let us look at where the

5:03

clones were you know, years later,

5:05

let us look at where some of the

5:07

younger clones and also Kira, you

5:09

know, how they were growing up and what

5:11

that was like. And just gave us a lot

5:13

of room to sort of explore how things were

5:15

going later on. So we we looked at how

5:17

we could do that and what we were interested in

5:21

going into that we could go into more depth,

5:23

they're going different directions from the show.

5:25

And, yeah, it's just been such a fun

5:27

process, like working with the other writers, working

5:30

with the producers. It's it's been really

5:32

great. And of

5:32

course, the actors, like, let me not forget

5:35

how amazing it is to be working with

5:37

those actors. Also,

5:40

like, as you mentioned, like, interacting with

5:42

Clone Club, and Clone Club is, like, very passionate.

5:44

Is that do you feel like do

5:46

you feel like there's more pressure on

5:48

you? Because how passionate Club

5:50

is, like, rather than other projects you've worked

5:52

on? You know,

5:54

I can see the potential for that, and I remember

5:57

now when I think about it, like being a little

5:59

nervous about the first season coming out. But

6:01

everyone who's been so supportive and

6:03

so excited and happy to see the

6:05

series. And I know that

6:07

everyone would love to see it on TV again, and

6:09

honestly, of course, I would too. But

6:11

I think everyone's really appreciated

6:13

what we have with this. And and honestly,

6:16

like, there are obviously a lot of straints

6:18

into doing it a whole TV show, especially

6:20

one with the technical difficulties of White

6:22

and Black, that

6:24

doing it as a podcast or radio

6:26

play kind of allows us to go

6:28

in a few different directions and, you

6:30

know, it's not as enormous an

6:32

effort and time sack for the actors. And

6:34

it just it lets us do more stuff that

6:36

I think television right now would be just really,

6:39

really difficult. So I'm really glad that we

6:41

get to continue it this way. And, yeah, the

6:43

Cloverleaf has been incredibly supportive

6:45

And just wanna give a big shout out to

6:48

all of fans. She's

6:53

most tweets and I'm

6:57

really so happy to see this. And I

6:59

know, like, I'm the

7:01

one who wrote Comeniela into that first

7:03

episode. And I was so glad to see

7:05

the appreciation for that and for having

7:08

a Cuban American culturally,

7:10

Cuban American clung. So I appreciate

7:12

seeing all the fans from

7:14

all of the Latino world and

7:17

the Lucerne world. It's just really

7:19

great. Yeah. There's, like, the fan

7:21

base is so international. Like,

7:23

it's it's amazing to see that,

7:25

like, a show could I mean,

7:27

and the show's from Canada, but, like, the

7:29

show that that a show could, like, touch so

7:32

many different people speaking different languages

7:34

from all over the world

7:35

and, like, everyone found something to, like, grab

7:37

onto. Yeah.

7:40

Yeah. I mean, I see lots and lots of other

7:43

fans from other parts of the world too. I've

7:45

seen Turkish and Thai and

7:47

just all over. But because I speak Spanish

7:49

and and can report to you, so I just I

7:51

see those tweets a lot. And so I wanted to

7:54

give a special shout

7:54

out. Yeah. And you can actually read them.

7:57

I unfortunately have to do, like, translate

7:59

tweet, and that's how this is really

8:01

sweet. I

8:03

I had to I had to translate it to

8:05

to read it. So

8:08

for working on like, you worked on

8:10

season one and season two, I'm sure

8:12

season two might have been a little different writer's

8:14

process because of the pandemic. But

8:16

what was the like, did you guys have,

8:18

like, a writer's room? Like, what how

8:20

did you end

8:21

up, like, in breaking out, like, who does what

8:23

scripts and all that kind of stuff?

8:25

So it was a little bit different. It wasn't

8:27

too different because we Typically,

8:30

with realm, what we what we used to do is just

8:33

have one writer's sort of weekend at the

8:35

beginning. And then after that, we'd be mostly

8:37

remote anyway. So we just

8:39

put that that writer's weekend

8:41

remote. And we it was a little different. We

8:43

did have to kind of chop it up a little

8:45

because it's you can't do a weekend an entire

8:47

weekend on Zoom the same way you can if you're,

8:49

like, in a room with a bunch of snacks and

8:51

people will take it continuously.

8:53

Right? And whiteboards and

8:55

lots and lots and lots of experts. So

8:58

it was a little different but not too much

9:00

because like I said, for the other ones,

9:02

for the first episode and the other Rome shows that

9:04

I worked on, we basically

9:06

got together for a weekend. It was very

9:08

intense. But after that, we had

9:10

a general sort of season

9:12

overview and also had divided up

9:14

the episodes amongst the different writers. So

9:16

after that, it was more kind of

9:18

supporting each other through the process, talking

9:20

about new ideas that came up for the

9:22

season of the plot as we went,

9:24

and then bouncing our episodes off each

9:26

other. And You know, I think

9:28

the fun thing about orphan black is

9:30

that all of us who are working on it just love

9:32

the show so much, and we all love the

9:34

characters so much. So, you

9:36

know, when you're writing an episode that

9:38

has Alison and Donnie in it.

9:40

Right? And then you send it out to everyone. And

9:42

everyone's like, Oh, yes. This is

9:44

perfect. You know, it's it's so

9:46

on brand for them. And then what if we

9:48

did this? Oh, you know what? I bet Alison

9:50

would say this. And then, you know, you

9:52

brainstorm with, like, what the fan

9:54

club that Nicknames for Donnie is gonna be.

9:56

And we just we did a lot of this sort of

9:58

back and

9:58

forth. And with this show, because the characters are so

10:01

great. Like, it was just there's a lot of fun

10:03

to go through

10:03

that. Yeah. I

10:04

think it definitely comes through that everyone's a fan

10:07

because it's, like, so much stuff that you're like, wow, fan this

10:09

is what fans would like to see or hear

10:11

or

10:14

Yeah.

10:14

No. We definitely we definitely all are we

10:17

all love show. And

10:18

and, yeah, just I mean, that's when

10:20

I'm writing for it. It's it's, like,

10:23

sort of, the best of both worlds,

10:25

and big slash IP.

10:28

Like, we we're very, very much

10:31

enjoying what we can do. And, you know, I

10:33

think there are things that we could do

10:35

in the podcast that

10:37

would be really hard to do on television. You know, it's

10:39

much easier for us to put all the clums in one

10:41

room. And they did an amazing

10:43

job with that on a television show, but, like,

10:45

we can do it really

10:47

much more easily without going through

10:49

all of the process, the technical process.

10:52

And, you know, we faced some difficulties too

10:54

similarly. I mean, on the television show, just

10:56

need to see someone's face and then

10:58

you know they're a clown and there's an instant

11:01

actor of mystery or creep

11:03

or wonder or whatever it is. And for us,

11:05

you know, you can't describe the

11:07

face in audio to say,

11:09

this person looks just like,

11:11

Tatiana was on me. Right now, you need to,

11:13

like, find ways to have that moment of

11:15

recognition differently. So,

11:17

yeah, there's there were a lot of really,

11:19

really interesting things about

11:22

this process.

11:22

Yeah. So in season one, for

11:25

anyone who doesn't know the

11:27

we're talking about work from Black the next chapter,

11:29

the podcast continuation of the show. And in

11:32

season one, Tatiana does everything.

11:34

She voices all the characters

11:37

like Donnie DelPine, everybody,

11:39

and she does an narration. So for season two,

11:43

Christian and Jordan and

11:45

Evelyn came back and reprise

11:47

their roles. So I wanted to

11:48

know, like, what did you think when you found out this was

11:50

happening? Like like,

11:52

what what did that mean for you guys?

11:55

The writers? Okay. So first,

11:57

when we found out that Tatiana Marzoni was

11:59

gonna be on it for the first season, because we

12:01

didn't know that when we signed on. You know?

12:03

Yeah. That that was agreed

12:05

later. And we were so excited. Like, I

12:07

cannot describe to you the excitement

12:09

in the call when we found

12:11

that out. So that was, you

12:13

know, it obviously and,

12:17

you know, I'm I'm someone who very

12:19

much cares about the

12:21

writing and shows, and I I try not to

12:23

get too hung up on actors, but this

12:26

is a special case. This is

12:28

a really really

12:30

special case where you just really see how

12:32

much the actor contributes to each

12:34

character. And I think everyone has

12:36

listened to the show, can

12:38

tell that she does that just as much

12:40

with her voices as

12:42

with the the visual stuff. It's

12:44

just so incredible and it it meant so

12:46

much to have her be a part of this project

12:48

and have her be adding that

12:51

that amazing just star

12:53

power and craft and everything to

12:55

the characters of both the the ones we

12:57

were reprising and the new ones that we created.

12:59

So that was just fantastic. And

13:01

then when we found out that everyone else was

13:03

gonna be on

13:04

one. And we kind of

13:05

we might have had a little hint because

13:07

Jordan was really

13:10

interested, and so he keep on

13:12

the, like, poster to season one.

13:14

And so we kind of knew there was a possibility that

13:16

we could feel like, which was, you know, awesome.

13:19

And then once we found out that it was

13:21

gonna be all the rest So it was just it was

13:23

such a great feeling because it

13:25

really does feel like we're bringing

13:27

the show back. And again, we all love

13:29

the show so much. And it feels really

13:31

good to know that the actors are

13:33

happy to be involved, but it feels to

13:35

them, like a continuation of the

13:37

characters that they played because that's

13:39

obviously you know, they know. And

13:41

I think they they are

13:44

willing to be to work on this and happy to

13:46

work on this because it does feel like a

13:48

continuation of the

13:50

characters that they that they love.

13:52

So, yeah, it was it was just great.

13:54

And, I mean, obviously, as

13:56

I said, like, Tedena's

13:59

performance is just so outstanding. But

14:02

I love the other actors

14:03

too, and so it's really, really

14:06

great to have them on. You

14:08

mentioned, like, you know,

14:10

there are new clones in season

14:12

one that weren't in a

14:14

show. So did you have a special process

14:16

for, like, creating new clones? Or, like, how

14:18

did you figure out what like,

14:20

when you create new clones?

14:22

So I a little bit. Like, we

14:25

kind of had we had a fair amount of free

14:27

reign in terms of

14:29

figuring out what we needed to make the thought

14:31

work. Right? And kind of what we wanted.

14:33

We knew we wanted to have at least one new clone who's

14:35

sort of a main character who's

14:38

Phoebe. And then, you know, we

14:40

we added another since we help me

14:42

get them. But we did go

14:44

through a process in terms of

14:46

thinking together as a group

14:48

of how do we like, how

14:50

do we make distinguish this

14:52

clone? Do they have an accent? And

14:54

how do we describe it? Do they

14:56

have they done something with their hair? What

14:58

is their style? Where did

15:00

they grow up? You know, so

15:02

that we could really try to define

15:05

the character as much as possible. To

15:07

make it, you

15:09

know, both, I think, for for for

15:11

the actor to to

15:14

give her a lot of of room

15:16

to create an individual even

15:18

with just voice and and

15:20

some description, right, and the narration. And then

15:22

also for the for the reader, I list so

15:24

that they would feel like this is a

15:26

really different person who's dealing with

15:28

this experience of being

15:30

a con and new and interesting

15:32

ways. Yeah. It really is

15:34

wild, like, that you can,

15:36

like, very specifically tell the difference even

15:38

though it's, like, touching on and doing

15:40

all of

15:40

them, even just voice. Like, it's amazing.

15:43

Like, whatever she does. Mhmm. It's

15:45

really amazing.

15:47

So Yeah. I I heard

15:50

that you were the like,

15:52

origin of the season two titles?

15:54

Episode titles. So can you

15:56

explain, like, what the

15:58

episode two

15:59

titles? Yeah. A little bit.

16:01

So all of the titles from the original

16:03

TV series come from books

16:06

and their quotes from from science fiction

16:08

books. So for you

16:10

know, knowing that and having some

16:13

control over it. For season one,

16:15

we really wanted to do

16:18

Octavio Butler. And

16:20

so we picked from quotes

16:22

from her work. I think I think all of them are from

16:24

parable of the sower, which is just

16:26

such an important book, and I think

16:28

really relates

16:30

to so many of the critical themes

16:32

of the show. And

16:35

yeah. So we we went through and we found

16:37

these. And then for season two, we

16:39

were looking for something a little bit older

16:41

for copyright reasons. And,

16:44

you know, we there were there some

16:46

sense of how we can just make them up, but I thought,

16:48

you know, why don't we look at

16:51

frankenstein, which is

16:53

the original science fiction book, which is

16:55

also written by a woman, And

16:57

when you look at it, I I have not actually

16:59

read the whole book. But when you look at the quotes

17:01

from the book, they are amazing.

17:03

And they are

17:04

seatingly, like, grim and

17:07

descriptive and ominous and it was

17:09

perfect.

17:09

Yeah. I think, like,

17:12

it's so clever when people use the titles, you

17:14

know, and as a way also for

17:16

the for the store to

17:18

give

17:18

information.

17:20

I always love people do that. So Good job. Yeah. We've

17:22

also really fun things. We all kind

17:24

of went around on our on

17:27

our Slack just

17:29

saying which quotes picking different quotes

17:31

from the book that we wanted for our different chapters

17:33

and trying to figure out which ones fit the

17:35

different chapters best And like I

17:37

said, there were lot of really wild

17:40

quotes in that book, so you can pick

17:42

it up. It's it's amazing stuff

17:44

in there. so was really fun, like, going

17:46

through and trying to fit it to the things that we had

17:48

written and that we wanted to be

17:50

highlighting for the readers and

17:51

listeners.

17:52

Yeah. That is,

17:53

like, an interesting challenge to kinda go backwards

17:55

that way, like, once you already have the episode.

17:58

Yeah. So we

18:02

already know you have

18:04

good taste since you're listening to this podcast.

19:48

Someone

19:50

in the someone in the comments wanted to know

19:53

if you have a favorite scene from

19:55

the season. Oh

19:58

my gosh. It's

20:00

hard because, you know,

20:03

we love all the clones. Right? And so

20:05

it's hard to pick favorite

20:08

scenes when the you know, each

20:10

character has their own like,

20:12

I think I

20:14

mean, I love caffeine. I

20:18

think my favorite line,

20:20

which I wrote in

20:22

the outline of an episode that I didn't

20:24

write the episode, but I think the line made

20:26

it in was cosmo

20:29

was I mean, Delfin was stress

20:31

baking. Cosmo was stress getting baked,

20:33

which is just, you know, something that I think we

20:36

can all relate to over the past

20:38

few years. But

20:40

I was, you know, I was gonna say it. So I love

20:42

COFINS, but then in terms of

20:44

writing characters like, Honestly,

20:46

Alison and Tony are so much fun

20:48

to write because they're just so

20:51

ridiculous. And so

20:54

and writing them with this you know,

20:55

having them do this reality show is kind of,

20:58

like, look, peek,

21:00

Alison and Donnie.

21:02

So, yeah, we

21:03

had a lot of fun with that. Yeah. That

21:05

was, like, my favorite thing when I was reading

21:07

this season, the reality show.

21:09

It's just although, I

21:11

will say, as a close second, the descriptions from

21:14

Felix's perspective of the

21:16

islands, and I'm wondering through the advent and

21:18

trying to figure out what all these treatments

21:20

are and things was

21:22

also really fun. Yeah.

21:24

It's I mean, all around, like, when I

21:26

was reading it, I was just like, wow, this is so great.

21:28

It's a good job.

21:30

Yeah. Let

21:33

me see if I can I

21:35

feel like someone else asked the question.

21:37

Yes. Please please read me a new season.

21:39

Everybody just wants I feel black about

21:41

it. Yeah. Much

21:45

straight. Let's

21:47

see. But all of my constraints. So Yeah.

21:50

I know. Michael. Okay. Thank you for your

21:52

inputs. I didn't

21:54

get

21:54

confused. Say it loudly because that's

21:57

how it happens.

21:58

But a lot of people want it. I definitely yeah.

22:00

I definitely think the fandom is what's contributed

22:03

to, like, the continuation in in different

22:05

formats for

22:05

sure. Like, the the fandom just seems to, like, keep getting

22:08

bigger. Like,

22:09

every day, there's somebody else who's, like, I'm watching

22:11

this show called Orphan Black or I'm I didn't

22:13

sound out about this podcast or

22:15

whatever. And oh,

22:17

I was gonna ask you if there are any,

22:19

like, pairs of characters that you, like,

22:21

would have liked to have more, like,

22:24

scenes together or because that

22:26

was that was one question somebody asked Christian

22:28

if there

22:28

were, like, other characters that maybe he didn't get

22:30

to work with as much than maybe he would like.

22:33

So I

22:33

mean, it was it was

22:36

this is one thing. It is really hard to

22:38

fit everybody in. I know that

22:40

in the first season. Everyone wanted more Rachel and

22:43

more Helena. And we did too. It

22:45

was just, you

22:47

know, telling the story

22:49

and having enough time

22:51

with the sons who were the main focus

22:53

was made it really hard to get as much

22:55

as we wanted of everyone. So we we did try

22:57

to have more helena and more Rachel in

23:00

this one But, yeah, we always want more time

23:02

with them. I think this

23:05

season, we miss Kira a

23:07

little bit And

23:09

I I think Rachel

23:12

gets some really interesting stuff

23:14

going on this season. She's

23:17

always a fun one to pair with other moms. So

23:19

while she gets some really good time with Cosma

23:21

and with Charlotte, Yeah.

23:25

More more Rachel pairing with others. And

23:27

and and also,

23:28

Helena, like, anything

23:31

Helena does is always just

23:33

cabinet.

23:33

So Someone

23:35

said, is Delfin going to have a

23:38

baby this season?

23:39

I am

23:41

not sure. I'm allowed to

23:42

help you with oil. Yeah. I don't know. Don't

23:45

think I can do spoilers like

23:48

that. I will

23:50

say that as

23:53

a writer, like, I'm really interested in

23:55

the way that pregnancy is shown

23:57

in fiction. And

23:59

so I was trying to break a little

24:01

bit some of the tropes that come around

24:03

that.

24:04

So take

24:06

that as

24:07

you would like to take it.

24:10

Someone

24:11

asked who your favorite OG clone

24:13

is. See,

24:15

I knew I was gonna get this

24:17

question because it's so hard.

24:20

So hard.

24:20

I so I

24:23

think in the

24:27

first season I mean, the first not

24:29

the first season. The whole first the TV show.

24:32

Right? The thing is,

24:34

like, we really identify with Sarah

24:36

through that. And so it's hard not

24:38

to to to identify with

24:40

Sarah and love Sarah. But

24:44

but then I don't know, like, they were all

24:46

awesome. Like, Sophie Okay. Cosma

24:49

is definitely, like, more sort of

24:52

closer to me.

24:54

Allison, as I said, is not someone I'm

24:56

sure. I think I could hang out with, but she's,

24:58

like, hilarious too much. Elena,

25:01

also, not necessarily. But you

25:03

do want you would

25:05

want her be the person that you could call,

25:07

right, if you if you

25:09

needed someone to break

25:11

someone's finger in a bar or

25:13

something. Right? Or just sitting on a road trip. I mean, there's a

25:15

lot of things that you would want Kelly has to

25:17

be your bud for, but so Yeah.

25:22

It's such a hard question. It's such a hard

25:24

question. I'm gonna you know what? I'm just

25:26

gonna bucket. I'm gonna go with

25:28

SSS because Sure. I

25:30

love her.

25:31

Yeah. I missus s seems to be a

25:34

favorite because lots of people mention her all the

25:36

time. Yeah. I feel like

25:37

it's, like, honestly, I'm just slow in

25:39

like, I'm sorry, if it says that show in any way,

25:41

but I was so angry when I woke up.

25:44

And,

25:44

like, if if I love

25:47

writing for the next

25:47

chapter, but I would also really really

25:50

love to write a spin off

25:51

about, like, her use and

25:54

how she learned to do all these things.

25:56

And, yeah, I would love to

25:58

do just any kind of show with her.

26:00

I would have loved it. The hand can drop

26:02

to do spin with like, leader. Not

26:05

necessarily yeah. Only only

26:07

her youth because she

26:09

got But, like, any I was a show about her

26:11

in any way. And one of my favorite

26:13

sort of scenes from the original series

26:15

is that when where she and Sarah are

26:18

working together, sort of running together

26:20

for a little bit. And it just

26:22

it's it's she's so fabulous. And I've

26:24

also I love that actress ever since she

26:26

was in the commitments. Many

26:29

years ago, which is a wonderful movie

26:31

and in which she also sings

26:33

as she does in in our

26:35

products. So highly recommend. There's,

26:37

like, conflicting comments in here where some people

26:39

are, like, give us spoilers and other people are,

26:41

like, please don't spoil it for me. And

26:44

I'm, like, We can't we can't do both of these things.

26:46

Sorry. I I don't think I'm allowed to

26:48

spoil

26:48

it. And this is the Internet, and

26:51

nothing ever goes away. So

26:53

don't

26:53

yeah. I don't think we should spoil it, but if you haven't, like,

26:56

listened to season two up to this point, you might

26:58

get a little spoilers for

27:00

that. Like, We've we've already definitely

27:02

done some minor spoilers for our season

27:04

one.

27:04

So I'm sorry. Yeah. That's a minor. But,

27:06

like, you you'll

27:07

still enjoy it. If you wasn't too for

27:09

sure. Oh, so

27:11

one thing I did wanna ask about when you

27:13

found like, was everything written when you

27:15

found out that the new character like, that the the

27:17

actors were coming back to reprise

27:20

their

27:20

roles? Or was there a

27:22

way that that impacted the writing

27:24

at

27:25

all? It did

27:27

a

27:27

little bit. We we

27:30

found out not all at once. I we kind of knew Jordan was

27:32

interested earlier on. So

27:34

we knew we wanted to have a bigger role for

27:36

Felix. I mean, we always wanted to have a

27:38

bigger role for Felix. Awesome.

27:40

But like I said, time

27:43

constraints and just so many people moving

27:45

around. So we we knew we

27:47

wanted to make that something of

27:49

a priority. On the season. Delfin

27:53

was always going to be in a

27:55

pretty big role because the way

27:57

COFINA has evolved and that that's just really a

27:59

central thing. For the

28:01

show. But but, yes, once we

28:03

knew that Ellen would be

28:05

coming back as well. So

28:07

exciting. So we're like, yes, we've gotta give her lots of lots of

28:09

lines, and and we didn't

28:11

actually find out about Christian until

28:14

much later. I'm

28:16

also a big fan of him. I've seen him on

28:18

Odd Squad, the kids TV show where

28:20

he's just straight. So I

28:23

was really happy that he was

28:25

coming back. And, yeah, we

28:27

definitely were like, okay. But we I

28:29

think we already had a lot of Donnie at that point

28:31

because just like I said, Donnie and

28:33

Alison are such wonderful com comedic

28:36

characters. And they're like, comedic

28:38

while often driving the plot in

28:40

really interesting ways. So

28:42

So, yeah, knew that. So a little bit, I think,

28:44

but but only really in the the sort

28:46

of, like, very early window

28:49

we want a lot of

28:51

these characters, and it makes us

28:51

happy. Yeah.

28:54

Some okay. So somebody who is asking what

28:56

we're talking about, so I'll do another

28:58

reminder. We're talking about

29:00

Work of Black The Next Chapter, which is the podcast

29:03

continuation of the

29:05

show. The first season, Tatiana,

29:07

narrated and did all the voices and then for

29:09

season two, Jordan and Evelyn and

29:11

Christian all came and reprise their

29:13

roles. So if you haven't listened to it, if you're

29:15

just finding out you have a lot to listen

29:17

to. There's a small in season one, a

29:19

lot of season two, and you

29:21

can get it, like, wherever you get

29:23

podcasts like Apple Spotify. It's on YouTube too,

29:26

on our on our site realm dot

29:28

f

29:28

m. Yeah. So that's what we're talking

29:31

about for anyone who is good.

29:33

And you can read it. If

29:34

you don't yeah. Listen to podcasts for whatever

29:36

reason, you can also read it as text.

29:38

But

29:38

with all those amazing actors, like, this is a

29:40

good time to make an exceptional listen to

29:43

podcasts. If you don't know. But the text is

29:44

there.

29:44

Yeah. Like, you

29:45

want you like, would you not wanna hear

29:47

Tatiana in your ear? Like, I

29:49

said, I would. Someone

29:53

asked if you were Tatiana Missany,

29:55

that would be what

29:57

a great compliment? Yes.

30:00

Yes. That's an amazing compliment. No.

30:02

I I am not. That's Anna Masai, but

30:04

thank you. I

30:08

think she's amazing. High Wolf

30:10

and Girl.

30:11

So there is, like, a little bit of a spoiler

30:14

question I wanted to ask you. It's it's just for

30:16

for today's episode. So it's not really a spoiler

30:18

because they did come out already. But apparently, there was, a

30:20

scene that you were really pushing for

30:22

at a police

30:24

station. Do

30:27

you remember what I'm talking about?

30:30

Yeah. So, I

30:32

guess, this is a a big

30:34

spoiler for the first season. So

30:36

if you have not yet seen the first

30:38

season, maybe, like, mute us

30:40

for a second. But, you know, in

30:42

the first season, the world finds out about close.

30:44

And they become public knowledge. And this is, you

30:47

know, this was for us, like, honestly,

30:49

one of the greatest things that we could do with this

30:51

show because it changed the dynamic

30:53

so much. And we had all these

30:55

interesting new problems that came up for the

30:57

clones and new, you know, just

30:59

dynamics to work with. And

31:01

it was you know, I think it's really

31:03

refreshed. A lot of what we're doing is we have the

31:05

characters dealing with this whole different

31:07

situation as opposed to the

31:09

secrecy. And so you

31:12

know, there's this the scene where

31:14

Khozema is in a police station, and she's

31:16

trying to convince them to help

31:18

her find her wife who's

31:20

been who's disappeared. She doesn't know which

31:22

one. And the cops are basically

31:24

like, well, we've got

31:26

video

31:27

from closed circuit cameras, and

31:30

your wife got in a car with

31:32

you. And

31:33

because it was, like,

31:36

but not me. But you can

31:38

tell who I am because I know you've seen Crohn's

31:40

all over the place since I know that that might

31:42

not be me just because it looks like me and

31:45

they're

31:45

like, what can we do because they're

31:47

obviously claustrophobic. So

31:50

that was, you know, I think

31:52

for us, we were thinking about So

31:55

much of the show, right, the original show,

31:57

is about how technology

32:00

messes with our identities, about

32:03

how you know, surveillance

32:05

works and so having the show,

32:07

having looked at it from a secrecy perspective,

32:09

you

32:09

know, looking at it from the opposite, from

32:11

a sort of fame perspective.

32:14

And this

32:15

idea of, like, what is it like to live

32:17

in a facial recognition world

32:19

when you do not have a unique face.

32:22

Which is not such a stretch as a problem

32:24

because facial recognition is not actually all

32:26

that refined yet, and this

32:28

sort of mistake can happen even

32:30

about actual clumps. So, you

32:32

know, looking at some of these problems and

32:35

especially how they can kinda be exploited

32:37

by the powers that

32:39

be to do what

32:41

they want, whether it's to help or to not help,

32:43

and think about, you know, what

32:45

does it mean when you share

32:48

DNA, exact DNA with all these different people,

32:50

some of whom are criminals, and some of whom

32:52

are totally different from you and live somewhere else

32:54

and what does it mean for international trouble?

32:57

And what you know, getting a bank account

32:59

and just all these different things that are

33:01

so interesting as we all

33:04

navigate them. In this increasingly

33:06

digitalized, increasingly, you know,

33:08

unique identity and two factor

33:10

authentication and everything everything

33:12

worlds. So yeah. was was

33:14

a really interesting scene I thought to go

33:16

into, like, some of these repercussions.

33:20

How going public had

33:22

solved some problems for the close. They didn't have

33:24

to be totally secretive and keep their face off

33:26

all social media

33:27

anymore. But it created this whole host of

33:30

new

33:30

problems. Yeah. And

33:32

it's kind of, like, lose lose. Like,

33:34

there were there were definitely problems,

33:37

but

33:37

then you think,

33:38

like, oh, this will solve everything and it

33:40

just kind of creates other other

33:43

issues. Yeah.

33:43

And I think it really, you know, it speaks to

33:45

the fact that they are kind of an edge

33:47

case. They're stuck in this being different

33:50

in some ways. And so whether

33:52

they're trying to keep that difference, a

33:53

secret, and dumpling, and normal

33:55

or whether they're like, we're different. We're here. We're proud.

33:58

Either way, you know,

34:00

it offers opportunities for people

34:02

with authority to

34:04

manipulate what's happening to them and make it different

34:06

from the sort of assistance they would expect.

34:09

So

34:09

basically, it could go

34:11

this show could go on forever. Because

34:13

there's just gonna be lots of problems.

34:15

I mean, honestly, there's it's it's

34:18

such a great concept. And the

34:20

directions that they took it

34:22

in initially are so interesting and rich that I

34:24

do think that there's a lot and

34:26

it's so and just so relevant to our world

34:28

too, as I

34:30

was saying. You know, between

34:32

civilians and identity and all

34:34

of these concerns and community

34:36

and reproductive rights

34:39

and, you

34:40

know, nationality, and there's just so many elements

34:42

of it that I think are really relevant

34:44

for everyone, and it's such an interesting conceit

34:46

to get at them. But yeah. I mean, I think there's

34:49

there's a lot to write in it. And meanwhile, you

34:52

know, we get more dead spots on it.

34:54

So

34:56

Hello, listeners. I'm Ellen

34:59

Goodlett here to tell you about

35:01

my new podcast series, Elixir. Elixir

35:04

is the kind of story I've always wanted to write about women

35:07

who love women, illicit magic,

35:09

speakeasies, and twists you'll

35:11

never see coming. That in a

35:14

prohibition inspired world, elixir

35:16

follows two women from opposing sides of a

35:18

ban on magic who unite to solve

35:20

a mystery. And end up falling into forbidden

35:22

love. Like a queer moulin rouge mixed with

35:24

shadow and bone, I hope Elixir will

35:26

remind even the most jaded among us

35:28

how powerful

35:30

love this. Elixir is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

35:32

Be sure to listen and subscribe

35:35

for weekly episodes.

35:38

So a lot of people are saying that Evelyn has a really nice voice

35:40

and, I mean, I agree. Yes.

35:44

I've always everything as far as

35:46

I

35:46

know. She's

35:48

very nice. I I have to She's just so someone

35:50

asked

35:50

if there was an inspiration for Blythe, which

35:53

I think is a great question.

35:58

Because Blythe was, like, is is super

36:00

interesting.

36:03

She is.

36:06

We you know, we try not to take

36:08

so there's a little bit of

36:11

ripped from the headlines, but you sort of ripped the headlines out

36:13

and then put them in a blender. If

36:15

that makes sense. So we were thinking

36:18

about sort of Hollywood celebrity, and

36:20

we were thinking about politicians

36:22

celebrity, we were thinking about reality

36:24

TV celebrity, and

36:26

coats. And and obviously,

36:28

like, there are a lot of like,

36:30

all of those categories have sort of merged.

36:33

In various ways and overlap

36:35

in various ways as we've seen

36:37

over the past, I mean,

36:39

honestly, several decades.

36:42

But especially I think the last few

36:43

years. And so we were we were just kind of

36:45

thinking about that dynamic

36:47

and how it's played out in

36:49

a couple of real cases and then trying to,

36:52

like, smash them all together to get

36:54

something that was a little

36:56

bit different but it had some of

36:58

those echoes and residences and

37:00

still fit in the world of

37:01

the clones. So it's

37:03

not necessarily, like, one specific

37:05

person. It's like, a bunch of It's

37:07

it's definitely not. And and I say definitely

37:09

not because we, you know, we did

37:11

go through

37:13

this process. As I mentioned before with, you know, with a new

37:16

clone, we kind of

37:18

we shot

37:19

out different ideas, and we mentioned different

37:21

names of real people,

37:24

but we mentioned, like, a lot to make sure that we

37:26

didn't really make it one real

37:28

person because we wanted to say, like, okay. It's

37:30

like a mix of this person, this person,

37:32

this person,

37:34

And also, we're gonna change this and make it a little different,

37:36

and obviously being a clone makes things

37:38

different as well. Not just

37:40

in the sense, but, like, it's

37:43

legally, deniable, whatever. But but,

37:45

like, we wanted to think about really what

37:47

going up as a clone and and eventually

37:49

learning that had done to this person's

37:51

personality and their goals and their motivations

37:54

and so on. So so there's that

37:55

too. Someone asked if there

37:58

this is like

37:59

I don't know if you wanna say this, but someone asked

38:01

if there was gonna be a Dell Phoenix

38:03

Helena interaction on Blights Island because they never

38:05

interacted in the show.

38:10

I would really like to say it's because they're played by the

38:12

same person, but that's not actually true.

38:15

I

38:19

am gonna not answer that. I think I'm gonna just not

38:21

answer anything this past this

38:23

episode. Sorry. I don't feel like

38:25

I can. But

38:28

we'll definitely like, if there's another season which I don't know yet, we'll

38:30

definitely keep in mind all these interaction

38:32

hopes because it is really

38:36

one of the really fun things about the show

38:38

is seeing these different characters and tracks or pretend to

38:40

be each

38:41

other. Yeah.

38:42

I definitely, like, think more than, like,

38:45

any other show. Like, I noticed people commenting on different

38:48

interactions they want on this show

38:49

specifically. Yeah. I don't know if it's

38:52

because they're all Tatiana

38:54

or because They just like all

38:56

the characters and they want all the characters to

38:57

be friends. But I I think they're just they're such

38:59

well defined characters and

39:02

you

39:03

know, they they

39:06

get

39:06

sort of close to types, but they're never

39:10

purely stereotypes. They're, you know, they all have a lot of

39:12

depth. And so

39:14

I I find something really

39:17

lovely when I read things and I know the character is

39:19

well enough so that when I see them interact

39:21

or hear them interact, I go like,

39:24

yeah, of course that's how they're gonna even

39:26

I couldn't have set it myself. Right? When you read

39:28

it and there's that sense of familiarity,

39:30

that sense of being like, yes, definitely

39:32

that is how this person

39:34

would react. And that is just I think it's such an

39:36

important part of what we

39:38

get out

39:40

of fandom.

39:42

Yes. Someone says they want Rachel and Helena to become friends, which I

39:45

do. What a

39:47

chaotic parent? We're just start

39:49

a whole man. This is all the company. Like

39:53

someone just said thank you for bringing the story of my

39:56

favorite

39:58

show back. Thank

39:58

you for listening. So

40:00

heavy. And, yeah, it's it's just

40:02

been great because it's brought it back for me

40:04

too. You know? Yeah. Different

40:07

and more effortful way but still. It's

40:10

it's just so nice for a turn to the world on

40:12

those

40:12

characters. Yeah. Coldplay is so

40:14

lovely. Like, I don't know how to

40:16

say it. Just like such a nice, like so

40:18

I think everyone it's like, you can tell

40:21

everyone enjoys it. Like, everybody at Realm's really

40:23

excited about it, quote unquote, really excited about

40:25

other

40:25

writers. Like, everybody's just It's like

40:27

a big love fest. All the

40:29

actors. So

40:30

we are running a little

40:32

bit towards the end of time.

40:35

So

40:36

if anyone has questions, you can keep dropping them in there. But I wanted to

40:38

ask you about some of your other projects

40:40

and you've written like a lot of

40:43

stuff on Realm Is there anything

40:45

specific, like, any round specific shows that you thought? Like, Club Club needs

40:47

to check this out, this

40:49

other show too?

40:52

So definitely nine step murders, previously

40:54

known as nine step station because

40:57

it is kind of cyberpunky

41:00

and body money, and it's also

41:02

got a lot of the

41:04

elements of their sort

41:07

of like some mystery and there's some

41:09

Buddy Crop relationships. It's

41:12

set in two thousand and thirty

41:14

two Tokyo and the main sort of fairness

41:16

between an American

41:19

the US peacekeeper has

41:22

deployed Tokyo and Tokyo cop who are working

41:24

together. They're both female

41:26

and they solve murders.

41:30

And it's and we we had a ton of fun putting it

41:32

together and having also some really

41:34

interesting cyberpunk elements

41:36

in it. And

41:39

it is occasionally dark, but it

41:41

is not grim or

41:46

super violent. Although it is sometimes amusingly gory or okay.

41:48

Maybe not amusing. It's sometimes

41:50

gory. Okay. So it's a little violent,

41:52

but it's it's generally meant

41:54

to be, like,

41:56

a But with them. And also

41:58

in Macchino's, the other one that I've worked on

42:00

that's kind of a similar,

42:02

like, near

42:04

future lots of robots, lots of AI

42:06

trying to get to Mars,

42:10

workplace competition. Really

42:12

on cereal as well. So those two,

42:14

I think, are the closest in in

42:17

vibe to orphan

42:19

black, and then I have written a trilogy

42:21

of books that are

42:24

science fiction political

42:27

thrillers So they're a bit wonky, but they actually cover a lot

42:30

of the territory that orphan black does

42:32

because these are things that I'm really interested

42:34

in. There's a reason that I love the

42:36

show so

42:38

much. So the first one is called Infomarkercy. And

42:40

as I said, it's a trilogy, but

42:42

the first one is standalone. And, yeah,

42:46

there's katana's and flamethrowers and

42:48

some chase scenes and also just

42:50

a lot about the future

42:52

of

42:52

democracy. And data and

42:55

surveillance. So it

42:56

sounds very real.

42:57

Like, I need to I definitely

42:59

need to read it.

43:01

Someone someone just posted

43:03

on Twitter, like,

43:06

I wish I was as confident about my

43:08

students that the worst parts of

43:10

Infomarketry won't happen. And I was like, I'm

43:12

trying to think of any bad things in the book

43:14

that aren't already happening in the

43:16

world. And then the professors, like,

43:18

yeah, I was trying to gently guide them in

43:20

that direction. It's not meant to be super pressing.

43:22

It's meant to be

43:24

kind of hopeful, but there is also a

43:26

lot of like, stuff that

43:28

reflects the world and the politics

43:30

of the

43:30

world. So not completely hopeful,

43:34

obviously. And if

43:36

people wanna find you, like, what's the

43:38

best way for them to, like, find you and

43:40

your stuff

43:40

and, like, follow along with your

43:43

all of your work?

43:45

Yeah. You can find me

43:47

on Twitter usually at

43:50

m underscore

43:52

holder And I am on

43:54

Instagram as in democracy, the title

43:56

of my book. I don't host a whole lot

44:00

on here. I don't actually have a smartphone. I had to borrow what

44:02

to do this. Right. But

44:04

I I usually post something from

44:06

my computer. I also have a

44:08

Facebook author page, and you can find my

44:10

44:15

rather unusual names, and you'll

44:17

find me pretty easily.

44:18

44:23

older. That's

44:23

right. You can't find it. Send it to the top

44:51

I could be wearing it right now.

44:54

Like, the vestra hat that we

44:56

have.

44:56

Yeah. I I realized I

44:58

should've got one for myself. I

45:03

I sent one to my brother who is also

45:05

a writer and writes for Star Wars, but now he's got

45:07

a writer for Star Wars wearing his

45:09

brother, Cestra, hat. So Yeah. And he

45:11

posted such a cute picture

45:13

wearing it and I was like,

45:15

wow. It's like a

45:15

family. It's a family affair. It's a

45:18

beautiful. It is. It

45:20

is. He sends us Star

45:21

Wars stuff and I sent him a form of black

45:23

stuff. And Well, thank

45:25

you so much for taking the time

45:27

45:32

orphan black, orphan black neck strap. You're giving,

45:34

like, insights into, like, how

45:36

it gets

45:38

made because I feel like a lot of people have no idea what goes into

45:41

it. So

45:42

it's it's

45:42

always it's a pleasure to be

45:45

here and there. And it's so great to to see all

45:47

the fans and just hear people saying that they enjoy

45:49

the show because, yeah, that's why we do it

45:52

besides wanting to reconnect with the characters

45:54

it's great to know that it makes people

45:58

happy. Awesome. A new episode

46:00

46:04

there are three more says after.

46:06

So we're getting kinda close to the end of

46:08

yeah. Getting kinda close to the end of season too. So

46:10

I hope everything's

46:11

46:14

it. Yeah. And there's lots of cool things to come.

46:16

So keep

46:16

listening. Have a good day everyone. Have

46:19

a nice weekend. Thanks

46:21

for tuning

46:22

in. Bye.

46:24

It's Marco again,

46:27

back with that

46:30

extra bonus I

46:32

promised you. Malca mentioned another film show she worked out

46:34

called Ninth Step Burgers, which

46:36

is set near future Tokyo, where

46:38

a Japanese investigator had a

46:40

US peace keeper reluctantly

46:42

joined forces to solve a series of

46:44

bizarre burgers. Enjoy this

46:46

trailer for Nightstar burgers and check

46:48

out both seasons of the series wherever

46:51

you're listening to this show right now.

47:01

The blade

47:02

cut through the air, echoing silence,

47:05

and then a scream,

47:07

low and men

47:08

high. Raimo, clearly,

47:10

over every other sun.

47:12

Inspector Miyako

47:13

Korida of the Tokyo Metropolitan

47:16

Police Department,

47:17

You remember lieutenant Higashi Emma,

47:19

my partner. She's joined us from the

47:21

American peacekeeping

47:23

detachment. Miyako slid her finger along the edge of her sleeve to

47:26

bring up the pales, and her pulse

47:28

jumped again as she saw the crimson color

47:31

coating,

47:31

murder, phrase,

47:34

Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Tension

47:38

warmed Miyako's body. Her

47:40

heartbeat sped up into a

47:42

dizzying panic.

47:44

She didn't know how

47:46

much time passed, seconds, hours, lifetimes.

47:49

The outside world

47:52

fell away. Perfect

47:54

darkness. Realm

47:56

listeners. This is Mary from the Realm

team. We brought you the show you've been listening to

48:18

right now. And wanted to tell you

48:20

about another show we think is right up your

48:21

alley. But rather than me tell you about it, I'm

48:24

gonna let Mackenzie tell

48:26

you herself.

48:27

Welcome to dead air. In the

48:30

weeks to come, I'll be telling you all about

48:32

the sordid tale of the murder of Margaret

48:34

Heather Graham. Known as peg

48:36

to her friends, and the bizarre

48:38

twists and turns that led to the killer's

48:39

confession. Yes. At least you don't have to

48:42

worry about him showing up your doorstep.

48:44

He's in

48:45

prison. Hello. This

48:47

is Mackenzie. You have

48:49

it wrong.

48:50

What if the person you

48:52

ill pick gram, isn't it prison? Excuse

48:55

me. The murder. Pick gram. Everyone

48:57

thinks they know what happened,

48:59

but it doesn't add

49:02

up. There's more to it. You should

49:05

look deeper.

Orphan Black: The Next Chapter

After a groundbreaking event changes the world, all clones— familiar and unknown— must face the consequences.Starring Emmy award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany, Realm presents the official continuation of the hit TV series Orphan Black. “The sequel fans deserve.” —Comicbook.com“Wildly fun, sexy sci-fi.” —Chicago Sun-TimesSince their victory against Project Leda eight years ago, the original sestras—Sarah, Alison, Cosima, and those they love—have been free to live quiet, anonymous lives. But that anonymity comes at a cost: Cosima is unable to pursue the cutting-edge science that saved her life; Sarah’s daughter Kira is suffocated by her mother’s insistence on secrecy; and Charlotte, the youngest Leda clone, questions why her family gets to survive while other, unaware clones get sick and die. Everything changes when Vivi Valdez, a CIA Agent, discovers she, too, is a clone—and goes rogue. Vivi’s pursuit of the truth brings chaos to the original Clone Club when one of them is accused of murder. To prove their innocence, they must step out of the shadows and publicly claim the secret they’ve sacrificed everything to protect. Family ties will be tested, long-lasting alliances betrayed, and the future of all clones hangs in the balance.Season 2 picks up where Season 1 leaves off, with (spoiler alert!) the Clones exposed to the general public. Now that the news is out, hundreds of previously unaware clones strive for justice and clash with anti-clone protestors. In the middle of it all, the Sestras and their families wrestle with the consequences of their actions, and what it means for their future.  Emmy Award-winning Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany returns for Season 2, but is now joined by original TV show cast members Jordan Gavaris (Felix), Evelyne Brochu (Delphine), and Kristian Bruun (Donnie). Orphan Black: The Next Chapter is a Realm production written by Malka Older, Madeline Ashby, Mishell Baker, Heli Kennedy, E.C. Myers, and Lindsay Smith. Listen Away.For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm
