Caravello believes he has been given a chance to make a movie called Windy City Heat, a crime drama about a "sports private eye" named "Stone Fury." However, there is no such film; it is all an elaborate prank played on him by Kimmel and Carolla. Every actor, extra, or any other person who appears on the show was paid for by Jimmy Kimmel to add to the joke. The actual context of Windy City Heat is a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, which is really nothing more than a series of situations set up as pranks on Caravello, playing on his gullibility and naïveté of the film industry.-- Windy City Heat wiki-- The Greatest Trick Comedy Ever Pulled-- The World Famous Comedy Store in LA-- The Ding Dong ShowContactDon Barris-- Simply Don The Podcast-- The Big 3 Podcast-- Simply Don The Podcast Network Store-- TwitterDave Bullis-- Official Site-- Twitter-- Instagram-- Facebook-- Youtube-- BlabGary Knudson (Sound Engineer)-- SoundCloud  -- Hire GarySupport the Podcast1. Sign Up for Dave's email list2. Rate the Podcast on iTunes3. Buy on Amazon.com using my affiliate link4. Buy Final Draft screenwriting software using my affiliate link5. Buy Jason Brubaker's, 'How to Sell Your Movie' course via my affiliate link6. Buy Jason's Brubaker, '101 Short Film Ideas' book for only $7!7. My Podcast Amazon wish list 8. Buy a shirt in the Zazzle storeSubscribe to the Podcast-- Podbean -- iTunes -- StitcherBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-make-your-movie-podcast-a-filmmaking-and-screenwriting-show--4508418/support.
