Holy shit, we're 800 episodes old! And we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than with some of our all time favorite guests, Bill and Turner Ross. We met up during the SXSW festival at the Mean-Eyed Cat, one of our favorite bars in Austin, to discuss Gasoline Rainbow, their newest film that your favorite bitches make a brief cameo in!

Gasoline Rainbow  follows five teenagers from small-town Oregon who, with high school in the rear view, hop in a van and decide to embark on one last adventure. In this episode we dish on everything from how we met the Ross Brothers at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020, the photo that prompted them to ask us to be in their film, bonding with and mentoring the teens in the film, and how they were able to make an optimistic movie in a very difficult time.

Join us for the SF premiere of Gasoline Rainbow at the Roxie on Friday, May 17th @ 6:30pm! For tickets, click here

And then join us for the after party at the Casements Bar down the street!

We're excited to have return guest Jane Schoenbrun with a powerhouse film that they wrote and directed, I Saw The TV Glow. The film is set in the '90s and follows Owen, an awkward teenager whose classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night tv show, and his new obsession begins to cause cracks in his sense of reality.

Jane describes their "egg crack moment", and how important it was to cast queer actors (led by the wonderful duo of Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) that we normally don't see in teenage angst films. And then we discuss the '90s nostalgia and gorgeous cinematography that this film serves, our mutual obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the incredible soundtrack that'll leave you wondering if Jane is also a part-time DJ. Jane is a unique and important voice in the entertainment industry, and we are fucken' here for it.

Welcome to our SFFilm Festival episode! We start with some fun stories from our coverage of the festival, before sharing a great conversation with one of our newest friends/honorary bitch, director Nicholas Ma of the film Mabel.

Mabel follows 13 year old Callie, an awkward kid whose one friend, Mabel, is a plant- until her teacher Ms. G introduces her to the world of "plant intelligence". Nicholas shares why he has an obsession with plants, how working on the Mr. Rogers documentary helped him tap into young people and their concerns, his incredible cast (including Judy Greer), and the struggles of being a mixed-race kid.

This episode brings you an interview and a memorable red carpet experience for a SXSW film that we had so much fun watching!

I Don't Understand You is a narrative film that follows an American couple on the verge of adopting a baby as they find themselves stranded in rural Italy without transportation or language skills. And of course, chaos ensues. Our first interview is with producers Jessamine Burgum and Kara Durrett from Pinky Promise Films. We get into starting a production company during the heart of the pandemic, their decision making process for new films, how being a young company is an advantage in an ever changing industry, and what a difference it makes to work with really cool people.

We cap off this episode at the red carpet premiere for the film, where we were joined by co-directors/co-writers David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano,  and actors Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector, and Eleonora Romandini. We talk about everything  from parenting fears and horse sausage, to fake Italian accents and big clit energy! In short, it was a good time.

This is a special episode because we loved this SXSW documentary so much, we're covering it with two separate interviews!

Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a heart-warming film about the love between a man and a wild otter, set in the remote Scottish islands of Shetland. We are first joined by director Charlie Hamilton James and producer Jeff Wilson who share how they met Billy and Molly, the concept behind the incredible cinematography, and why they wanted to make a film that made people feel good.

Our second interview is with the film's main subjects, Billy and Susan Mail, who explain why they wanted to share their story, how Susan felt about being chosen to narrate the film,  and how this film (and their relationship with Molly, which is still going strong!) has changed their lives.

We've been wanting Gina Mariko Rosales on the show for a long time, and when you give this episode a listen, you'll see why! She gets into her origin story (born and raised in Daly City), and how working in the corporate world led her to start Make it Mariko, a Bay Area creative events agency led by women of color. Then we dive into the impact that Undiscovered SF has had on the Filipino community in the Bay, and why she was inspired to create the first annual all inclusive POC Food and Wine Festival (running May 2-5, 2024). This is a fun one, enjoy!

This episode explores two SXSW Film Festival documentaries that are very dick-heavy (literally and figuratively).

A House Is Not A Disco captures a year in the life of the world's most iconic homo-normative community: Fire Island Pines. Director Brian J. Smith and producer Jeremy Truong share the difficulty of staying focused while you're being offered margaritas during filming, how climate change became an important part of the story, and the concept behind "food for bottoms".

Dickweed tells the true story of a heist-gone-wrong that resulted in two people getting kidnapped, one man losing his dick, and no one getting paid. Director Jonathan Ignatius Green joins us to share how he got the green light to tell this story, sharing the narrative from the point of view of the convict as well as the victims, and his interest in true crimes involving everyday people who one day cross the line.
