Oscar-nominated producer Dana Brunetti, known for The Social Network, House of Cards, Captain Phillips, 21, and the Fifty Shades franchise, made his first public podcast appearance since leaving Los Angeles in 2019 on episode 1903 of the No Agenda Show, titled "Non-Practicing." Hosted by Adam Curry and broadcast from the Texas Hill Country on September 13, 2026, the two-and-a-half-hour installment pairs Hollywood war stories with a full media deconstruction two days after the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
The episode's emotional core is Brunetti's firsthand account of the 9/11 attacks. He was two blocks from Building 7 that morning and filmed the North Tower's hole from his rooftop before the second plane hit. He then evacuated over the bridge with his girlfriend, who was opening Issey Miyake's flagship store that day for Fashion Week. Curry revisits Senator Bob Graham's testimony and Megyn Kelly's reporting on the redacted 28 pages, while Brunetti connects the Adrian Lamo thread in his shelved documentary Hackers Wanted to Chelsea Manning's arrest. The segment also touches on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in 9/11 and widow Terri Strada's confrontation of sitting and former presidents.
Brunetti recounts the Saturday-night phone call from David Fincher that steered Kevin Spacey and House of Cards to Netflix's untested original-content push. He details how Reed Hastings' team bought the show in the room for $100 million across two seasons. On his own legacy, Brunetti remains flat: "So everybody gives me credit for starting streaming and all that. It would have happened no matter what."
The AI block dissects Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's G7 remarks, Anthropic's Moonshot AI accusations, and the Sanders-Hawley bill proposing 20-year prison sentences for building artificial superintelligence. The hosts frame the coordinated AI "kill all humans" narrative from Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Bernie Sanders, and Rep. Greg Casar as a psyop. Other topics include the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, the Black holdout juror, and NBC 10 Boston's rapid opposition-research doxxing. The AfD's 43.8% earthquake in Saxony-Anhalt and Russia's new targeting of Ukrainian rail and fuel depots are also analyzed.
Curry delivers the line that gives the episode its title after a TikToker declares herself "a non-practicing white." The episode is available at noagendashow.net and wherever podcasts are heard.
