ComingSoon.net can exclusively announce that the 101 Studios and Soho House’s podcast The Backstory is returning with new episodes on Tuesday, February 9! Guests include Academy Award-winning director Bryan Fogel (The Dissident), Casey Affleck (The World to Come), author Kathryn Scanlan (The Dominant Animal), director Darius Marder (The Sound of Metal), composer, songwriter, and producer Ludwig Göransson (The Mandalorian, Tenet), and Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory).

Hosted by former KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic host Jason Bentley, The Backstory is a series of insightful discussions pairing creative innovators to share ideas and make connections.

Previous guests include Kristen Bell and Adam Grant, Margaret Cho and Paul Feig, Justin Min and Rosalind Chao, as well as Terence Blanchard and Kemp Powers.

Supporting the ethos of Soho House, a place to have fun and make an impact, The Backstory is a platform for Soho House members to connect with fellow creatives, share ideas, and collaborate. In discussions hosted by Bentley, the guests—thinkers, artists, and tastemakers from across the worlds of film, music, politics, and beyond—reveal what drives them and what inspires them, through never-before-told stories about their personal histories and the projects that brought them professional acclaim.

Bentley has also supervised major motion picture soundtracks for TRON: Legacy and The Matrix trilogy, and is working with the music supervision team on the official soundtrack for the forthcoming release of Top Gun: Maverick.

The Backstory is supported by D’USSÉ Cognac. Sullivan Doh, D’USSÉ’s global brand ambassador and premier mixologist will create custom cocktails inspired by episodes from the podcast.
