Comedy actor and podcast host Zach Justice has launched his own indie production banner, Dropouts University Studios.
After the launch of Justice’s Dropouts podcast in 2020, the media venture will produce new podcast shows. That includes The Lunch Table, which teams childhood best friends Justice and Skyler Horne at an old school lunch table to chat about all things sports, comedy, and navigating life in Los Angeles.
Dropouts University Studios will also produce Stop the Bit, hosted by Ryan Leader and Ben Ball and offering audio content that blends sketch comedy and longform podcasting. Justice’s production banner also has in the works a PBS kids education show, a deal with MGM Alternative, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, and other unspecified film and TV projects.
