About The Ben and Noah Show

Post-Grad can be a scary adjustment, especially for creatives who make the jump to live in a big city. As two NYC-based recent grads with backgrounds in theater and film, Ben Soffer and Noah Lian discuss the ways they are staying connected to the arts post-grad. Weekly episodes often include guests who have varied arts backgrounds, ranging from music to painting. They discuss the paths one can take to pursue the arts while paying the bills, from a traditional day-job to restaurant or gig work.

   A Surplus of Sequels (Toy Story 5 and Shrek 5) | B&N Ep 23

   If you knew there would be 5 total Toy Storys in 2010, how would you react? In this episode, Ben and Noah discuss how studios exploit their existing IP by making too many sequels, and why we need them to create more original and new ideas rather than recycle old franchises and characters beyond their prime.
