We're discussing one of the busiest months of the year and it's not even over yet! First Ange recaps supporting local artists and prior guests, from Nurse Boogz' jazzy and melodic Sabina Olamina record release party at Spire the Church, to a Midnight Review sketch comedy show at The Lost Church, and then a dark comedy about grief and identity, Homecoming by Dara Kosberg. Then Erin gives us a behind the scenes look at covering the Golden State Valkyries' historic second season in the WNBA for KALW's Bounce. And finally we cap it off with Ange's trip to one of San Francisco's snazziest senior homes, and fundraising and jello shots at the 2026 Lupus Walk.

We're back with one of our favorite return guests, actor/director/writer/musician Rafael Casal! He's here to share some exciting updates about his character in season 2 of The Lowdown (streaming now on FX and Hulu), and his experience directing episodes 5 and 6.

We dive into how he feels about playing a TV dad, what he learned about directing from Tommy Lee Jones, Sterlin Harjo's acceptance speech at the Gotham Awards, our excitement about Blindspotting now streaming on Netflix, and updates on his work with Make it Bay.

We've been wanting to have Rachel Morrison on the show for years, especially after she became the first woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography (not to mention her cinematography work on Black Panther!). So we were beyond thrilled to speak with her as director of her latest film.

Love of Your Life is a romantic drama that follows Maya as she experiences all of life's hurdles on her ultimate journey to loving herself. We talk grief in all of its forms, how this film gives a healthy spin on dating, and the incredible soundtrack (and a new exciting  playlist on the way!).

Love of Your Life is out in theaters now, and streaming on Amazon on October 13th!

We're bringing back two films that left a lasting impact, and will (finally!) be coming to a screen near you!

Black Zombie unearths the buried origins of the zombie, from Hollywood horror to the haunted cane fields of colonized Haiti. Director Maya Annik Bedward joined us at this years SXSW to share why this cultural reckoning is so important for Haiti, her difficulties in figuring out what to include in the film, and how a special scene with Erol Josué, General Director of Haiti's National Bureau of Ethnology and Vodou Priest, was one of the most beautiful things she's ever filmed.

Ghost in the Machine is a documentary that we saw at this year's Sundance Film Festival which reveals the dark untold origins of Artificial Intelligence, and where we go from here. Director Valerie Veatch sits down with us to discuss her years long work examining the intersection of technology and society, why we should all be friction maxing everyday (and what the hell that actually means),  and how being a parent informs her work (and vice versa).

JOIN US AT OUR 13th ANNIVERSARY PARTY! RSVP HERE.

This interview was recorded this past spring during SFFilm Festival, and covers one of the most powerful documentaries we've seen this year year  — American Doctor . The film follows three American doctors  — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian– as they enter Gaza to save lives, and ultimately risk everything to expose the truth. We sit down with director Poh Si Teng to discuss the urgency of this film, the importance of allyship, and why a film festival in Minnesota was her most powerful screening yet. To cap it all off, Poe drops the realest "This Bitch" ever.

American Doctor is in theaters now! Find tickets HERE
