Hosts Jon and Tricia dig into the 2009 improv documentary “Trust Us, This Is All Made Up,” a film that also takes us straight back to the early days of the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival, when we screened it as an opening night feature and learned how programming choices shape an audience.

Jon's "Yes, And..." drink may have been a tranquilizer, but the real knockout is watching two improvisers build an entire world with nothing but trust, timing, and tiny physical choices.

Remember to imbibe responsibly! If you haven't seen "Trust Us, This is All Made Up," watch the film before you listen to the episode.
