It's been a busy couple of months, and the bitches have a lot to catch up on! First Ange shares some deets about her trip to New York, including watching Jeff Hiller perform improv, drinking horny mezcals, and a happenstance hug/live performance with Bay Area rapper LaRussell. Then Erin shares how she became an award winning journalist! 

Listen to our first and second interviews with Jeff Hiller!

Highlights from New York (this is not at all comprehensive, just some gems I happened to wander upon):

Caveat Theater's RAAATSCRAPS - The Best Improv Show in the World, often featuring one of our favorite guests, Jeff Hiller

Joe's Pub - Just a cool ass iconic venue to be entertained in

Little Branch - dark AF, free live jazz every night, excellent cocktails. What more do you want?

C as in Charlie - cool ass restaurant, bomb ass food, fun staff, just overall a standout place

Mixteca - TJ style tacos on the east coast? Top it off with delicious fucken cocktails made with tomatillo salsa. (try the Tomatonico and the Verde Michelada. You're welcome.)

Art Bar - Queer and cute bar with a more divey feel. Check out the comfy couches, working fireplace, and beautiful art in the back room. 

Dante NYC Happy Hour - $10 for the best martini (normally $20), starts at 4pm!

Attaboy - No menu, just vibes. I requested a horny mezcal...what kind of crazy drink can you come up with?

DCTV Firehouse Cinema - A retrofitted firehouse turned into a theater dedicated to documentary film. I watched Remaining Native, wh

Welcome to our second neighborhood basic bitch! This time we're collaborating with San Francisco podcast - Storied: San Francisco and talking all things Mission District. This is our third to welcome multi-hyphenate, San Francisco born and raised, and Mission resident H.P. Mendoza on to the podcast. As we enjoyed the backyard of the bar Zeitgeist, H.P. gives us his experiences on growing up around the Mission, hopping on busses to sneak in to movie theaters, how multi-culti living in this part of the City was just a couple of decades ago, and also his current mainstays in the neighborhood. 

All of us round robin about some of our now favorite and missed businesses (and people) in the Mission. RIP KitKat! There is also a tangent about that Google Glass incident that happened in 2014 (not 2004 as we all thought) in the lower Haight neighborhood of the City. It was a pivotal time in San Francisco. 

Thanks so much for listening! You can listen to our first neighborhood basic here.

Friend of the show and multi-hyphenate artist Rafael Casal returns just in time to celebrate the release of the inaugural The Bay List! He shares how they chose the top 10 scripts from over one thousand applicants, the significance of this project being done in the Bay, and why he's more inspired than ever to create. 

Then we dive into his most recent work on FX's The Lowdown, some of our favorite shows, and our collective excitement over New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Come See Me In The Good Light is a beautiful documentary that follows two poet lovers, Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, as they explore their relationship, laughter and mortality after receiving news of Andrea's incurable diagnosis.

Welcome to Flashback Friday, we're bringing you a film that we covered for the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco that is now available in select theaters near you!

Lesbian Space Princess is an animated film about a space princess who is thrust out of her sheltered life into a galactic quest to save her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens. Co-directors/co-writers Emma Hough Hobbs and (return guest) Leela Varghese join us to laugh about their spectacular lesbian pun making abilities, their thoughts on whether scrapbooks are a good gift for a significant other, and their continued work with the talented Shabana Azeez.

We were so excited to chat with return guest Shabana Azeez about one of our favorite shows of the year, The Pitt! We talk activism, mental health, and how she had to study up on American culture (she's originally from Adelaide, Australia). Then we dive into whether Noah Wiley is hot (spoiler: he is), how she accidentally went viral on social media, and which actor made her fall to her knees when she met them.

Director Geeta Gandbhir has made a revolutionary piece of work with her newest film, The Perfect Neighbor. The documentary uses police bodycam footage to show how minor disagreements between neighbors takes a lethal turn. Geeta joins us virtually to discuss her advocacy against "Stand Your Ground" laws, our desperate need for gun reform, and how this film can be both a training tool for the police, and a catalyst for change.

The Perfect Neighbor is streaming in Netflix right now!
