Tim & Trevor White

March 27, 2026·48 min·3 clips

King Richard took years of writer searches, then Will Smith's Oscar night turned strange 15 feet away.

Fraley opens by bringing Tim and Trevor White in around Carolina Caroline. He frames the film as part of a longer producing career that has already touched Jamesy Boy, The Good Neighbor, LBJ, Ingrid Goes West, Wind River, The Post, King Richard, and Eternity. The brothers answer with the sort of producer talk that comes from getting your hands dirty, including the idea that you learn by jumping into a project and dealing with the mess. That leads to Jamesy Boy, which Tim says was the first big feature and which Trevor directed with him producing. Wayne Rogers comes up quickly. The Whites describe him as a Maryland producer who helped support them from the start, stayed close enough to become a repeated collaborator, and remains one of their closest friends beyond the business. Fraley keeps moving through the credits. He notes the cast around Jamesy Boy, then jumps to The Good Neighbor and to LBJ, where Rob Reiner enters the conversation. The interview pauses on Reiner as Fraley remembers interviewing him and seeing him at the Annapolis Film Festival and in Washington. When the topic turns to his death, the mood shifts into something more reflective. Trevor and Tim keep the emphasis on respect and memory rather than grand statements. The Maryland thread stays alive through the whole conversation. Fraley connects the brothers' career to Annapolis pride and the festival screening of Carolina Caroline. He also asks about the films that built their reputation, and the Whites answer with practical memory instead of polished slogans. That practical memory is the point. You hear how a producer career can be shaped by alliances, persistence, and the willingness to keep moving after the first feature. The conversation ends on a looser note after Fraley asks about The Threesome, which played at the Annapolis Film Festival last year and is now on Netflix. The brothers recommend it as a date-night movie and push past the title without making a big production out of it. The whole piece stays brisk, direct, and tied to specific credits, which is what gives it its shape. Fraley closes by thanking them and the episode rolls out with the show's usual sign-off.
