Political Science, The film MeaganLeavy and it's screenwriter, the son of a cop Pt. 1

Today my guest is professional screenwriter and amateur Political Scientist?, Tim Lovestedt... We talk politics.  Not because of a particular political figure… or a political issue… or the next presidential election next year…  but because Tim has a bachelor's degree in Political Science. So technically he has a BS about BS'ers. I really don't know any more about politics than I do anything else, so I have some questions.  On this program there is no such thing as a stupid question. In fact that's my bread and butter.   He's also a writer who started out writing sketch comedy, moved to writing a LOT of essays and theme papers and position papers for his college degree and then screenwriting.  They say write what you know … Tim and I talk about a project he is currently working on that is very personal and it really takes a lot of bravery to expose that,  not only to the world but to put it in front of executives like movie studio executives and network executives who get paid a lot of money to have expert opinions but don't know a goddamn thing more than anyone else… no bitterness or resentment here. But it does take courage and he is in the process of getting it out on paper.  And we'll hear a little bit about what it was like having a father who was a homicide detective in Los Angeles during the late 70's and 80's.  But we probably won't get to that until the episode after this one. We also talk about a screenplay and film he worked on called "Megan Leavy" starring Kate Maura, Edie Falco and Common the rapper?  Yeah, I knew Common was a rapper.   Also, at the end of this episode, I'll have some details on the rest of this "season" if that's what you want to call it,  and what we'll be looking at in those episodes as we wrap up this pretty crazy decade.   It's a thumb in the eye of Poly- Sci … Plus the Movie Meagan Leavy on … the Modern Moron. #PoliticalScience, #MeganLeavy, #KateMaura, #EdieFalco
