General Meeting with Becky Sloviter

About General Meeting with Becky Sloviter

Hollywood, but make it real. Warm, 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.

Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Right. And you know, those movies that you love, like, why do you love them? And what is in those movies that you feel and connect to that you could actually tell your own versions of? Yes. I had a student ask me, I did an event about a year ago at Emerson and she got up and it was a Q and A and she, she got up to the mic and she said something like, well, what do you, what would you say to like someone like me who wants to be a writer? looking at the fact that like every story's been told, every movie's been made, everything's been done. And I said, yeah, but not by you. Exactly. Right. That's why we tell these stories over and over and over again. […]
