#126 January 20, 2020 [Blood Ties]

A plane crash in a movie is something spectacular. There’s screaming, explosions, debris. A plane crash in a podcast is completely different. It’s subtle, something to be imagined, but not overplayed or overdone. That subtlety is core to the story of Blood Ties.When two rich parents are killed in a plane crash, their children — played by Gillian Jacobs and Josh Gad — are left with a decision: find the truth about what happened or live up to the memory of their world-renowned father.

Admit it: when you see certain actors, you always picture them in one specific role. The actors from Friends or Seinfeld will always be the actors from Friends or Seinfeld. In the case of Gillian Jacobs, for many people she will always be Britta from Community. Even in the successful Netflix show Love, she played a similar character: funny, a bit of a mess, and unsure what she wants from life.Podcasts allow typecast actors to break that mold and embody a new role without any preconceptions. That is Blood Ties for Jacobs. It’s serious, dramatic story and she fits right in. Have a listen and let us know what you think.
