This is Gary. You want to do it like him. If you can. 🎥🤩 @doitlikegary @ryanjohnsonofoz as Gary @anamariabelo17 as Brandy @daveeastgate as Brett #shortfilm #comedy #aussiefilm #legends

So this was an honor. This week we got interview the legend that is @geoffreybennett I’ve (Ryan) worked with him on my first ever series Headstart and then Young Lions, Underbelly, Sea Patrol, House Husbands, Brock, Love Child, Doctor Doctor and Bump. Those were just a slice of his phenomenal career, where he started on an Arnold Schwarzenegger doco and went on to direct some of the most Iconic T.V shows and Biopics in Australian television. He’s everyone’s on set dad, incredible with actors and just the best of the best! We love you G.B. Thanks for chatting to us! @ryanjohnsonofoz and @bloualston @podtangent_ #linkinbio LINKINBIO #podcast #australian #drama #legend

Happy Birthday @ldg_personal . I can’t tell you how many days a week I wake up and pinch my myself. Thanks for being my wife and an awesome stepmother. We love you so so much. 🥰🥰🎂

@annabel_osborne_photography Joins this week on Louise and Ryan’s Tangent Podcast @podtangent_ We talk all things Hollywood to City of Sydney Event Photography and being the first to publish NY 26 to the world, to the power of pivoting! Incredibly humble and incredibly talented. Loved this chat. Link in Bio.

Episode FIVE! @podtangent_ We talk to @rebecca_mcnamee_ I have to say, it was a very insightful and enlightening conversation about family, resilience, sanity and having something you do ‘As Well As’ showbiz. You may make a living from the biz but we all know there is a load of downtime. Rebecca (or Bec to Louise) has worn so many hats. She’s worked in the corporate world, had a successful run with Second City, raised three kids (including a Hollywood Star @teagancroft ) Her sisters @penny.mcnamee and @jessica_mcnamee starred in her early #proam #musical #theatre shows and went on to their own incredible careers. Now she has come full circle and returned to writing and directing. I think she may end up running for P.M. one day. I real hope she does. 💯% leadership material. #linkinbio @ryanjohnsonofoz @bloualston

This week’s ep has landed. We chat to @phlloydnow . Writer/Actor/Producer (WAD) of some of Australia’s best TV. ‘Sunny Nights’, ‘Good Cop Bad Cop’, ‘The Moodys’ , ‘Here Come the Habbibs’ and Ryan’s all time favourite ‘Review with Myles Barlow’. (To name a few). We talk starting out (guerrilla style with @tfod ) , his Hollywood work, the terror of the table read and the joys of writing for the likes of @patrickbrammall Plus the time he killed me on TV! This guy has done it all, while being an awesome dad. @bloualston @ryanjohnsonofoz #tangent podcast. #aussie #comedy #new #episode

Episode 3 of @podtangent_ is up with @thekymjackson One of those people you meet and become mates with instantly. Like when she spent a whole day with @bechewitt23 and @lleytonhewitt89 decided they were besties but didn’t know they were them until she asked for their number. Classic Kym! Link in bio.

Carlos Sanson @__sars sat down for a chat with @bloualston and @ryanjohnsonofoz on @podtangent_ Dude doesn’t know @jimmybarnesofficial so well. Is that heritage or Gen Z?! Either way we had a great chat about his life before and after @bump_stan He also is a super nice dude. Makes up for his unfortunate looks. Would chat with again. #podcast #tangent #barnsey Fun fact, @mattlday shot the #logies footage! 😂 Link in bio
