First & Worst is a show on ScreenJunkies Plus that takes a look at the first and worst works of famous actors, directors, and writers. Each episode explores the early projects of a particular guest and evaluates how their work has evolved over time. The show primarily focuses on the film industry but occasionally branches out to include television and other forms of media.

Hosted by Dan Murrell, First & Worst is an entertaining and insightful series that offers viewers a unique look at the creative evolution of some of the industry’s most successful artists. Through interviews with the guests and clips from their early work, the show examines the factors that led to their success and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Unlike other shows that focus on celebrity interviews, First & Worst offers a fresh perspective by highlighting the early work of its guests. By reflecting on their first roles or projects, the guests provide viewers with an intimate glimpse into their creative process and the challenges they faced as they rose to prominence.

The structure of the show is relatively straightforward. Each episode typically features a single guest, who is interviewed by Murrell. Initially, the guest is asked to discuss their first project and the circumstances that led them to get involved with it. From there, they move on to discuss their worst work, as well as the lessons they learned from those experiences.

One of the strengths of the show is the diversity of the guests. From legendary directors to up-and-coming actors, First & Worst offers a wide range of perspectives on the creative process. Some of the notable guests who have appeared on the show include Joss Whedon, Colin Hanks, and Kristen Bell.

What makes First & Worst stand out is its ability to strike a balance between entertainment and insight. While the show is undoubtedly entertaining, it doesn’t shy away from addressing the challenges that artists face in their creative careers. Whether it’s dealing with negative reviews or struggling to find work, the guests are refreshingly honest about the ups and downs of their respective journeys.

Another aspect of the show that sets it apart is the level of depth that it offers. Rather than just highlighting the guests’ early projects, First & Worst takes a holistic approach to their careers. By examining both their first and worst work, viewers gain a better understanding of their artistic development.

Despite its strengths, there are a few criticisms that can be levied against the show. For one thing, it’s relatively short. With episodes typically running around 15 minutes, First & Worst sometimes feels rushed. Given the rich material that the show has to work with, it would be nice to see longer episodes that delve even deeper into the guests’ careers.

Another minor quibble is that the show can sometimes come across as a bit too fawning. While it’s undoubtedly fun to see famous actors and directors reflect on their early work, there are times when it feels like Murrell is gushing a bit too much. While it’s understandable that he’s excited to be interviewing some of his favorite artists, a bit more objectivity would be welcome.

Overall, though, First & Worst is a fantastic show that offers a unique perspective on some of the most successful creative professionals in the industry. By focusing on their early and less successful work, the show provides viewers with a nuanced understanding of the journey that these artists have undertaken. With a great host and a diverse array of guests, First & Worst is a must-watch for anyone interested in the creative process.
