Hollywood, but make it real. Fun, authentic conversations with the people who make the stuff we love — and the friends I’ve been lucky enough to make along the way.
I’ve spent the past 20 years as a Hollywood producer having what’s known as “general meetings” — one-on-one sit-downs with actors, writers, and filmmakers. These personal and creative conversations have always been my favorite part of the job — the moments when the glossy version of Hollywood drops away and you connect with the real person across from you. So now, I’m bringing that to life as a podcast.
Each week on General Meeting with Becky Sloviter, I sit down with smart, funny, and talented friends — actors and writers who have made us laugh and cry, and filmmakers who inspire us — for real conversations about creativity, connection, and everything in between. My hope is that these chats will help us all feel a little more connected — and a little less alone.
Because we’re all going through it these days — but as the iconic Penny Lane says in my third favorite movie of all time: “Famous people are just more interesting.”
Welcome to General Meeting with Becky Sloviter.
For Episode Three, Becky hangs with acclaimed screenwriter JJ Philbin (Only Murders in the Building, New Girl) as they reflect on how their friendship blossomed during the pandemic, the story behind JJ's fated run-in (kinda) with the cast of Friends, and JJ and Becky's thoughts on the most important person in both of their lives, Taylor Swift. (Note: This episode was recorded before Tay Tay and Trav got engaged.)
