Is It Awkwafina vs Nora?

We're back - dissecting a profile of Awkwafina OR Nora Lum, depending on who's speaking, whose project it is -- and what each 'name' is allowed to do. We dive into how 'stage' names help and hinder, and what it means when one becomes the dominant name? We even dive into 'Lainey' vs Elaine, and which is used when. Then, we discuss cast chemistry -- what it looks like, how to create it -- and what happens to shows and movies when it doesn't exist.

Each week Duana and Lainey deep dive into work behind the gossip, the shows, the scripts, and the screenplays. From casting decisions to image management to the process of putting an idea onto the stage or the big screen, Show Your Work is a film or theatre geek's essential weekly listen. Tune in weekly and let us know your thoughts at @laineygossip and @duanaelise on Twitter.
