Welcome to the South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas! 

It's Only Life After All is a documentary that gives you everything you've ever wanted to know (and things you didn't know you wanted to know) about the Indigo Girls. Director Alexandria Bombach sat down with us to share how the Indigo Girls changed her life, the role that homophobia and misogyny played in their career, how she managed to sift through massive amounts of never before seen archival footage, and their groundbreaking environmental activism that started in the 90s with Honor the Earth.

Welcome to the South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas! 

Queendom is a documentary that follows Gena Marvin, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, as she wears costumes and stages performances that blend a new form of art and activism- and the dangers she faces as a result. We were joined by director Agniia Galdanova and producer Igor Myakotin to discuss how they met Gena, how they kept their crew safe while filming her in public, and the complications that were added while filming during the start of the war in Ukraine.

Welcome to the South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas! We're kicking off our coverage with two powerful short films, Scotty's Vag, and Vibrator Girl.

Scotty's Vag explores a night of sorority hazing, and how far one girl is willing to go to fit in. Director Chaconne Martin-Berkowicz sat down with us to talk about her experience with sororities, her apprehensions with the film's title, and the difficulty of shooting a scene that involves jello wrestling. 

Vibrator Girl is a horror/fantasy that imagines what happens when a girl uses her vibrator compulsively to the point of no return. We were joined by screenwriter/star Zoe Mintz, and screenwriter/producer Morgan Ciot to discuss why this had to be a horror film, and the ongoing themes of femininity, body dysmorphia, and pleasure.

A Good Person follows Allison, a woman who seemingly has her life together, until her involvement in a fatal car accident changes everything. It's safe to say we all loved this film, yet we were not prepared for the emotional gut punch. It was the first time that a movie had everyone on the Bitch Talk team not only laughing, but also in tears. 

We sat down virtually with writer/director Zach Braff to discuss the themes of grief, addiction, and the importance of laughter through tears. He also explained why he loves telling stories set in his hometown of New Jersey, and how he's excited for the world to find out that Florence Pugh is not only a phenomenal actress, but an incredible singer/songwriter.

A Good Person hits theaters this Friday, March 24th. For showtimes, click here

WE ARE AT SXSW, Y'ALL! With the help of a special someone in our Bitch Talk community, we were grateful to get to the SXSW  (South By South West conference & festival) in person for the first time. SXSW is not for the faint of heart. There are conference panels (with folks like Barack Obama), film and TV premieres, music EVERYWHERE, comedy, and art exhibitions.  It's probably THE MOST a festival can get. Your Bitches landed  on the second half of the festival and one of us (not saying who cause it's obvious in this first Basic) lost their voice in our first two days.  We'll have more to say when we record a recap, but enjoy this first catch-up while we were on the ground in Austin, Texas with one of our podcasting partners Jeff Hunt of Storied: San Francisco. Yeeeehaw!

P.S. - If you listen to this entire recording, we're including the Ode To Whataburger by Amir Safi link here. :)

In honor of the upcoming Oscars (Sunday, March 12th), we're rewinding to the films we've covered that have been nominated for Academy Awards! This film is nominated for a record eleven academy awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best supporting Actress (for both Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu), Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Score, and Best Song. So in other words, best everything!

The Daniels Everything Everywhere All At Once is 2022's best film. Go see it and tell us it is not. This is the most excited we've been about a major action/sci-fi release in a long time (maybe ever) and we were ecstatic to welcome the lead cast to the mic - Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, and directors  Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. 

With the Daniels, we get to hear how they met, how they're process was writing this script before and during the Trump presidency, they're very fun fight props, setting the tone on-set and off, how in the hell they got Andre 3000 on the score of this film and a little bitch talking about some of our favorite directors making movies that feel tone deaf. 

Changing over to the lead cast, Erin talks with Michelle Yeoh about an off camera comment she made to one of the Daniels, Stephanie Hsu talks all about her bad ass wardrobe's while playing villain Jobu Tupaki, and Ke Huy Quan talks about coming back to the big screen after years of feeling invisible in Hollywood. 

Everything Everywhere All At Once is a wild ride that needs to be watched more than once. Thanks for listening!

In honor of the upcoming Oscars (Sunday, March 12th), we're rewinding to the films we've covered that have been nominated for Academy Awards!

The animated episodic series My Year of Dicks follows Pam, a teenager trying desperately to lose her virginity, and the dicks (literally and metaphorically) she meets along the way. We're joined by director Sara Gunnarsdottir, showrunner/writer Pamela Ribon, and lead actor Brie Tilton. In other words, get ready for a Zoom room full of women ready to commiserate about our younger years! We dive deeper into Pamela's childhood memoir that this series is based on, and the fantasy of a young girl's crush vs. the awkward (and sometimes gross) reality.

In honor of the upcoming Oscars (Sunday, March 12th), we're rewinding to the films we've covered that have been nominated for Academy Awards!

In Sara Dosa's Fire of Love, we get an intimate look at the lives of the world's most famous volcanologist couple, Katia and Maurice Kraft, whose love for volcanoes and capturing the most informative (and closest) footage of them eventually leads to their death. We discuss the wealth of archival footage that Sara had to work with, and what Katia and Maurice's relationship and love of volcanoes can teach us about life. (Sara is also a return guest, you can catch our prior conversation with her here)

Pixar's Turning Red follows Mei Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian who starts turning into a giant red panda when she gets too excited- a metaphor for "magical puberty". Mei Lee and her friends are also obsessed with a boy band called 4 Town, and with that, the ladies at Bitch Talk have never felt more represented by an animated film. Director Domee Shi shares her origin story and how she ended up at Pixar, how being the first of many things as a woman of color gave her the confidence to do things her own way, and the joy that came with creating Pixar's first boy band (4 Town, WE LOVE YOU!!).

Turning Red is streaming exclusively on Disney+

It's been a minute since we've caught up, and a lot has happened! Ange has been traveling, Erin met a ghost (or two?!?) and they both share their attempt at the keto diet. We also discuss the return of our friend Richard aka "The Curse" aka "Ricardo Falls", and how the novel Shantaram spawned a unique encounter. Plus we give you a tease at our coverage for the upcoming South by Southwest Film Festival in March, which will also be our return to Austin, Texas!
