Part two of our Basic Bitch is here!  This time we talk about Ange's 48-hour trip to San Francisco. It was supposed to be a week long trip, but life happens and she was able to come up at just the right time. You'll hear us talk about our new favorite restaurant Prubechu, how kick-ass the musician Peaches remains to be, some casual racism at Erin's job,  comedian Hari Kondabalu, nursing home care, and some crying (because life is kinda fucked right now).  

Like you all, we are trying to grapple with the current state of the outside world as well as what's happening in our own worlds. We hope you'll respect how much we share on this episode and if anything hits you in any way, please reach out to us via socials or our email at [email protected] .

It's been a minute since we've caught up - and as usual, there's a lot to talk about. This is the first part of our two part Basic because we needed a full debrief on Char's vacation on a Disney cruise, how much she loves a private island (duh), her bad luck with luggage, and our sidebar on the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial (spoiler, we don't give a fuck about it). 

We'll have part two of our Basic this Friday when Ange catches up on her 48-hour San Francisco extravaganza and how two nights can make you fall back in love with a city that often times breaks our hearts.

Welcome to Flash Back Friday! With 600+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).

Before we close out AANHPI Heritage Month, we're flashing back  to February of this year, when we hang with Lisa Ling as she launched her new show on HBO Max. 

Holy shit, it's Lisa Ling! This was a big deal for us, and she lived up to every expectation. Her new show, Take Out with Lisa Ling, is an HBO docu-series that takes a deep dive into the diverse communities behind Asian American take-out, and their contributions to American society. The conversation ranges from how she finally feels connected to her Chinese roots and the importance of traveling the world, to cussing and karaoke. She's worked on The View, CNN, The National Geographic Channel, and The Oprah Winfrey Network (Lisa, if you're reading this, we're still waiting for Oprah's number), and now she's hosting one of our favorite shows of the year, and her most personal project yet. We are filled with pride, and hoping for a season 2!

Take Out with Lisa Ling is streaming right now on HBOMax

Had a great time talking with director Sally Rubin about her short film Mama Has a Mustache which screened at last month's 65th annual SFFilm Festival . Sally's film is a short, quirky, fully animated doc about gender and family, as seen through children’s eyes. Driven completely by audio interviews of kids ages 5-10, the film uses these sound bytes combined with clip-art and mixed media to explore how children are able to experience a world outside of the traditional gender binary.

In this interview, Sally and Erin talk about the idea of using clip art/photos/video/and drawings to tell this story, the wonderful animation that is throughout the film,  what it was like to show the film to a theater full of elementary kids at the historic Castro Theater, and the fun JVN (Jonathan Van Ness, duh!) quip that she decided to leave in the film.   

Films like Mama Has a Mustache are so important as a tool for education. If you have a little one in your life this is a great conversation starter or continuation about gender.

When Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked in January 1994 it was the story of all stories that year. Fast forward 28 years later and we're sitting down with director Justin Young who's directorial debut, My Hero the Hitman, focuses on the person who was hired to attack Nancy Kerrigan, Shane Stant, and his sister Maile Stant.  There's a lot to uncover in this film. It's not specifically  about the act of violence that happened in 1994, but dives into the backstories of siblings that grew up with an abusive father, how their fathers behavior shaped their worlds, and what healing looks like years later as adults.  

We speak with Justin about how he ended up telling this story, how redemption is at the heart of this film and what he learned from Maile and Shane's relationship, Justin's music career, his friend Michelle Kwan (who is a part of this documentary), the buttoned up skating world, and more. Thanks so much to Justin for his time and making a film about healing family trauma.

Comedian and author Ginny Hogan has written her first book I'm More Dateable Than a Plate of Refried Beans and Other Romantic Observations and we're here to give it the Bitch Talk bump.  Ginny's book takes us on the ride of how silly online/modern dating has become and has some hilarious observations on how these apps could work a little better for all of us, like, wouldn't it be fun to have an away message option for your DM's? Fucking brilliant.  We also chat with Ginny about her book tour, what sober sex is like (and should we give it try?), how online dating has become a job, will her book become a show, and more.  Thanks to Ginny for her time and  humor. She's a total treat. 

If you're looking for a fun summer read or as a gift you can find Ginny's book at Chronicle Books, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org (or head to your local book store and see if they have it on their shelves).

Howdy Bitch Talkers! We're taking you back to the March 22 online event that we hosted for San Francisco non-profit WeXL with film financier Chiquita Banks, Esq. We were drawn to host this event because filmmakers and/or creatives need to understand insider knowledge of how projects get made in Hollywood - let's get rid of the gatekeepers already! Chiquita has a wealth of knowledge of how film projects are funded, how streaming has taken over the industry, how Covid changed the way we watch everything, the right and wrong ways (and when) to vet projects, the ways in which filmmakers should educate themselves on what it takes to make a film (first stop - create a budget!), and so much more. 

We're also excited to be in partnership with WeXL! WeXL is a non-profit that focuses on uplifting  non-normative voices in the media and arts world. WeXL is run by a truly badass Filipina named Arabella DeLucco whose commitment to diverse storytelling is contagious. If you are looking for a way in to support the arts, please join us at WeXL's FUNdraising event on Thursday, May 19 at 111 Minna in SF. We'll be there celebrating diverse creators and supporting the work WeXL promotes through their platforms. Plus the legend DJ Umami will be spinning records. It's gonna be the jam.

Hi Bitch Talkers! We're all back in the same Zoom room catching up on life. We get into Ange's birthday trip to Mexico - how she almost missed her first flight out, going to an adult prom, celebrating opening weekend of Mexican baseball, and her love of cenotes. We also talk about the circle of Covid that seems to be closing in on us, and the shows and movies that are making us happy ( and Erin's obsession with actor Walton Goggins right now  ) .

Hope y'all are doing well out there and thanks so much for listening.

Did you know that in the past 6 years, 33 states (including California) have passed laws to silence boycotts against Israel on its human rights record? This blatant attack on our freedom of speech has happened with very little coverage or knowledge on the part of the average constituent, which is what makes this documentary so very important. Boycott follows the stories of three court cases of individuals across the country who are putting their livelihoods on the line to protect our freedom of speech and expose the political ties behind these anti-boycott laws (spoiler alert: it's the fundamentalist right-wing). We sat down with the wonderful and intelligent producer Suhad Babaa to discuss how they found which court cases to highlight, how and why the meaning of "patriot" has shifted, and what we can do to fight back. 

Get tickets to watch Boycott at DOCLands on Sunday, May 8th here

Learn more about the film and these anti-boycott laws on the Just Vision website

Well, we met a new best friend - her name is Dahlia Gallin Ramirez and she has a new book out called Sex and the Single Panda : The Revolting Pursuit of Love in the Animal Kingdom.  The illustrated book was an idea that came to the cartoonist during the pandemic and explores the bizarre, intriguing, and often *disgusting* mating rituals of the animal kingdom. The book brilliantly sets itself up like a dating app in which the animal (male or female) writes up their "profile" first before you, the reader discovers what type of animal it is. We encountered a lot of surprises along this illustrated journey for instance did y'all know that the western honey bee leaves their peen inside female honey bees and then they die!? It's a total suicide by mating mission. WHAAAA??? And, there are also animals that have  BALLOONS ON THEIR BODY to entice the opposite sex. Do you have a balloon on your body to attract an interested party? Wait, don't answer that.

We had a great time talking with Dahlia and finding out about her artist journey so please head to your local bookstore and purchase her book. The knowledge you'll gain will certainly come in handy at your next neighborhood pub quiz.
