It's day 2 of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage and today we're sharing three very different, yet powerful Slamdance narrative films. Joined again by our friend & Park City cohort, John Wildman of FilmsGoneWild.com. 

Mascot follows a frustrated young man whose dangerous actions are endangering not only himself, but his whole family. Director Remy van Heugten shares how this film was an expression of his fear for the younger generation and  the long term effects that our society will have on them.

The Underbug is a thriller (that won the Slamdance Grand Jury Award for Best Breakout Feature Film) based in India that shows what happens when two untrusting strangers meet in the midst of country-wide riots and violence. Director Shujaat Saudagar and star Ali Fazal share how they were not only able to make this film during the peak of the quarantine, but it also helped them cope with the trauma of the moment.

Waiting for the Light To Change is a coming of age film about a group of twenty somethings trying to process life while on a weeklong beach getaway. We had a big group for this one! Director/co-screenwriter Linh Tran, producer/co-screenwriter Jewell Santos, director of photography David Foy, and talent Qun Chi sit down with us to discuss how they were able to write and shoot this beautiful film (that won the Slamdance Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Film) in a short amount of time, with a limited budget.

Welcome to Day One of our Sundance and Slamdance Film Festival coverage! We've joined forces again with our dear friend and Honorary Bitch, John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, and we're excited to a share our interviews with two Sundance narrative films that we really loved... 

First we sit down with director Sing J. Lee to talk about his beautiful film The Accidental Getaway Driver (winner of the Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition Director Award). The film follows a Vietnamese driver in Southern California  as he unknowingly picks up escaped convicts and becomes their hostage. Sing shares how he was able to infuse both action and thoughtfulness with both the writing and directing of the film, and how he adapted the film that was based on a true story.

Next we discuss the film Mamacruz with director Patricia Ortega. This hilarious and touching film follows a religious grandmother who accidentally stumbles across porn on the internet, and goes through a sexual awakening. Patricia shares how growing up under the sexual repression of Catholicism, as well as finding an interesting picture of her mother, led to her need to make this film.

Welcome to Flashback Friday! With 700+ episodes in our archive, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with y'all!

This week, in celebration of the 11 Oscar nominations for one of our favorite films of 2022, we're throwing back to our interview with the directors and stars of Everything Everywhere All At Once.

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, their 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 wardrobes while playing villain Jobu Tupaki, and Ke Huy Quan talks about coming back to the big screen after years of feeling invisible in Hollywood.

Welcome to Sundance 2023! And while we thought for a while that we might not make it, we are here and ready to take Park City by storm. But until that happens, we're sharing the frightening details of our 2 day, 21 hour journey through snow storms, sliding wheels, icy roads, and a car with electrical problems. So sit back, relax, and make sure you have chains in your trunk.

Also, we are at the tail end of our Sundance fundraiser. We take off in just a few days but are still in need of some financial help. If you are in a position to be able to help us, we'd really appreciate it. Covering Sundance costs us upwards of $6K - the majority of the cost is housing and travel for our small and independent team. Details of our donation levels are below, and know anything helps. 

*Basic Bitch Level - $25: Tagged shoutouts in our Instagram stories while we're at Sundance. You never know who will show up.

*Fancy Bitch Level - $100: Only 5 slots available! You get a personal thank-you at the end of each of our original Bitch Talk episodes from Sundance 2023

TW, the topic of suicide is brought up during this conversation. 

We think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Chef Catie Randazzo joins us from HBO's The Big Brunch, to talk about why they love being in the kitchen, how they got on the show, and the incredible difference the show has made in their life ever since. Catie shares what it means to be a "recovering pentecostal", coming out as non-binary, and being a self proclaimed flirt. Then we wax poetic about our mutual love for Dan Levy, and make plans to meet at the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world!

Sixth time is a charm for one of our favorite returning guests, Mr. Daveed Diggs. He's our emotional support human and we are so thrilled that he is our first interview episode of the new year.  Normally we have Daveed on promoting a film or TV show, but this time we got to shoot the shit a bit and dig in to his music project Clipping - which is described as American experimental hip hop group and has been around since 2009. We also dish on a couple of his upcoming film and TV projects - The Little Mermaid live action film coming out this Memorial Day weekend, the second season of Blindspotting (which we just found out will debut at this years SXSW festival!) and hear about his holiday family activities. It's all about the board games we're told.

Also, we are at the tail end of our Sundance fundraiser. We take off in just a few days but are still in need of some financial help. If you are in a position to be able to help us, we'd really appreciate it. Covering Sundance costs us upwards of $6K - the majority of the cost is housing and travel for our small and independent team. Details of our donation levels are below, and know that anything you can give helps.

Hey there! Happy new year!  2023 marks our 10th year in podcasting and we're so excited to share this major milestone with you. Earlier this week we sat together in studio and recorded our first Basic Bitch of this year. In this episode we talk about our Sundance fundraiser that is going on right now. It costs upwards of $6K to cover both the Sundance and Slamdance film festivals (both go on at the same time in Park City, Utah) and as an independent podcast, this is a big stretch for us to cover. Any donation is appreciated and if you can't donate, spreading the word helps!

We also get into our new year's eve/new year's day shenanigans, Ange's boner killer convo's with dudes, how Erin is not going to run for Mayor of San Francisco, and more.  Stay tuned for our upcoming interviews with Daveed Diggs (our emotional support human) and The Big Brunch's Catie Randazzo in the coming weeks and of course, our coverage of the Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals.  

Donate to our Sundance/Slamdance fundraiser HERE . Details on donation levels are below:

*Basic Bitch Level - $25: Tagged shoutouts in our Instagram stories while we're at Sundance. You never know who will show up.

Welcome to Bitch Talk's official 2022 year in review! We go over our favorite interviews, interesting things we learned about each other while Basic Bitching, and the return guests that make our year complete. We also share which episode "some people" call Erin's best interview, which guest was almost too hot to handle, and the magic of "perm talk". Thank you for hanging with us through the highs and lows of a truly crazy year, we'll see you on the flip side. Cheers!

Jeff Hiller plays one of our favorite characters (Joel) on one of our favorite shows (HBO's Somebody Somewhere), so this interview is something of a love fest! We discuss the significance of his character, the complicated nature of religion, and how he deals with the  pressure of singing alongside co-star and icon Bridget Everett. He also teaches us the secret to acting in an episode of Law and Order,  and gives us some things to look forward to for season 2 of Somebody Somewhere. He is a breath of fresh air and a warm blanket on a cold night. Enjoy!
