The BlondesAuthor: Heroic Collective
Now remastered! Madeline Zima (Twin Peaks), Helen Hong (Inside Llewyn Davis), and Rob Belushi (How I Met Your Mother) star in this podcast adaptation of Emily Schultz's satirical, sci-fi horror novel, The Blondes. Set two years after SHV has infected blonde women with a rabies-like illness, a fictional podcast examines how the "Blond Fury" has changed our culture: from fashionable new fever bracelets, to empowerment pop songs for the infected, to an entirely new understanding of women, gender, and beauty. What begins as the story of Hazel Hayes the unlikely, eight-months-pregnant hero who reveals government abuses at evaluation centers turns much thornier when her personal life and role in the outbreak is churned into the mediascape. Angry, funny, and with dark turns into body horror, The Blondes is an unflinching look at what happens when beauty becomes, literally, deadly. Starring: Madeline Zima, Helen Hong, Rob Belushi, Cecilia Corrigan, Yvonne Zima, Dana Berger, Jenny Grace, Carson Elrod, and Bree Elrod. Written by Brian J Davis and Emily Schultz. Directed by Duncan Birmingham, Brian J Davis, and Jenny Grace. Produced by Heroic Collective. Language: en Genres: Arts, Performing Arts Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

What if you made a podcast series about a fictional pandemic and then a real pandemic happened? In 2019 Brian J Davis and Emily Schultz adapted her hit novel, The Blondes, into a podcast. A few months later the world plunged into the Covid lockdown and things got weird from there. To mark the fifth anniversary and the release of these remastered episodes, Brian and Emily discuss what happened along the way, what they got right about pandemics, and what they got wrong. They share how the series ended up a worldwide hit, what the French don't find funny, and the craziest thing ever said by a network executive. They also talk about why a DIY ethic work matters and give an update on the future of The Blondes.
