Ep. 38 - Kristy LaPointe
In today’s episode, Amanda sits down over some dirty vodka martinis (thanks Tito’s!) with screenwriter, actor Kristy LaPointe (Yoga 101, Let’s Do This, Spilling Eve) to discuss puns, the entertainment industry’s obsession with youth, and the writing process. Kristy is the writer and star behind CBC Comedy’s comedy series Yoga 101 available to watch at cbc.ca. Her first feature screenplay Let’s Do This, which she co-wrote alongside her husband Chris, was selected for the Breaking Through the Lens program, the Harold Greenberg funding, and was optioned for development! Kristy hosts her own podcast Spilling Eve, a weekly podcast that celebrates and breaks down each episode of the amazing dark comedy series Killing Eve. She also has her own plant-based food blog where she shares delicious plant-based meals that she loves to help fight fucked-up diet culture while encouraging others to do the same.

The Liquid Courage Podcast
Hey, I’m Amanda Pereira. I’m an actor, comedian, and creator based out of Toronto, Canada, and I get stuck in my head. A lot. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and if I can’t do something perfectly I don’t do it at all. I’ve wanted to start this podcast for years and I rewrote this description too many times to count. Admitting that feels scary because now I’m wondering if you’re surprised that I settled on this as the final product. See what I mean?But I’m really tired of trying to be perfect and constantly doubting myself. Like, I need a nap. It’s makes me withdraw from the people around me and it feels impossible to make new friends. When I meet people, I’m so focused on only showing the parts of myself that I think they would like, that I might as well not even be there. This imposter syndrome is even worse when I’m around fellow actors and artists, which leaves me feeling disconnected, like I “know” a ton of people in the acting and comedy community, without really knowing them at all. And damn does that ever feel lonely.But this year I’m turning 30 years old, and enough is enough! Enter: The Liquid Courage Podcast…Each week I will sit down with a different woman in the entertainment industry that I admire, that up until now I’ve felt inferior to and flawed in comparison, and finally have a truthful, one-on-one, candid conversation with them. Sound intimidating? Uh, yeah! So, in each episode my guest and I will enjoy their favourite drink (some liquid courage!) to help me get out of my head and finally ask these women the questions I’ve always wanted to.Join Podchaser to...
