In the show's first ever episode, hosts Neal and Lauren describe what each week looks like on Curated by Chance. Powered by an algorithm named Chance, built by a NASA scientist, Neal and Lauren will receive several prompts (words, numbers, colors, etc.) that will spark lively discussions in the world of art, film, literature, theater, and more! On the premiere episode, Neal takes us to the grimy streets of New York City to talk about The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) and its influence on the modern heist movie. Lauren details the behind-the-scenes stories of one of the world's most beloved pieces of art, Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night (1889). Together, the dynamic duo learn, laugh, and hopefully provide enough to keep you coming back week after week to see where Chance takes them!
