Welcome to virtual Sundance 2022! We're kicking off our coverage with friend of the show and returning guest W. Kamau Bell to discuss his four part docu-series, We Need to Tak About Cosby. To say this is a heavy topic is putting it lightly, but Kamau proves to be the right person for the job, as he dives in to the life and legacy of Bill Cosby with thoughtful insight, and brutal honesty. We discuss Kamau's personal need to make this documentary series, and his emotional journey of coming to terms with the fact that his childhood hero, and cultural trailblazer, is also a serial rapist.

Trigger warning. Some portions of this episode talk about rape and drugging unsuspecting victims. Listen at your own discretion.

We Need to Talk About Cosby starts airing on Sunday, January 30th on Showtime

We have a special treat for you today! It's a never before heard "lost" episode from Sundance 2020, recorded by Ange and Producer Char in the wee hours of the night (after many cocktails). To set the scene - it was our final night in Park City, Utah, and after 6 days and 60 interviews, we decided to celebrate. A lot. After a High West whiskey tasting, a Lisa Loeb concert, a dance party, and a snow angel, Ange and Char decided to record their "thoughts". Enjoy!

We're fresh off the heels of a great interview with SF Giants manager Gabe Kapler (dropping next month!), sharing some behind the scenes details on how we made it happen, and how we bonded over hip hop music. Erin shares how she survived the West CoastTsunami while on a trip to Mendocino,  and we learn that Producer Char goes crabbing on the regular. Like, she owns a crab trap...who knew!? And then we cap it off, as usual, with our moments of pleasure. Be on the lookout for our coverage of the upcoming Sundance and Slamdance film festivals and in the meantime, we've got movies to watch!

This conversation was a real treat! Mica welcomed us into her beautiful, bright, and cozy restaurant, Pomella (on Piedmont Ave in Oakland), and quickly offered us Baileys and coffee. You can say it was love at first site. The conversation flowed as smoothly as our coffees as we got into why she moved to the Bay from Israel, starting her career in catering, the essence of Israeli food, the ups and downs of owning a business with her now ex-husband, bankruptcy, opening a second restaurant at the start of the pandemic, and how her community, regular customers, and loyal employees keep her going. She is fiery and hilarious, and we could've spent the entire day chatting with her. And we can't forget to mention, the food was AMAZING! (Order the cheese stuffed falafel. You're welcome.) Check out her restaurant, and if you're lucky, you'll get a chance to meet her too.

This is our first Basic Bitch of 2022, and unfortunately it's been a rough ass week. Listen as Erin and Ange process two completely different experiences that surprisingly end with the same lessons learned. And of course, we cap the episode off with our moment of pleasure, and we continue to be grateful for your support. Cheers to a steady climb to joy and happiness in 2022!

We're running a little fundraiser in honor of Ange's (and her sister Ant's) dog Bailey who crossed the rainbow bridge last Saturday on our Instagram. If you're so inclined to give a few bucks to the non-profit she was originally adopted from follow the link:  https://bit.ly/3nm5JS6

We're saying goodbye to 2021 (goodbye and good riddance!) with a bang, as we break down behind the scenes stories and facts on our favorite and most memorable interviews. Pop open a beverage of your choice and enjoy as we break down which guests we loved so much we had them on twice, which guests were almost too attractive to interview, which interviews left us speechless, and how our country's racial reckoning gave birth to some of our most powerful interviews yet.

It's been an emotional year, but we are still so grateful to bring you episodes filled with substance, hilarity, and heart. Thanks for coming along for the ride. See you in 2022!

The gang's all here, and we've got a lot to catch up on! We get into free porn in all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, a San Diego beach house getaway, how a belligerent SantaCon attendee ended up on Erin's families doorstep, and the good karma that is giving us hope in humanity. This is our last official #BasicBitch of 2021, and we thank you for spending this difficult year with us. Be sure to tune in next week for our 2021 year in review. See you on the flip side!

Sometimes the stars align and we interview someone we were meant to be friends with! Erica Eng was born and raised in  Oakland, California, and sat down with us to talk about her short film, Americanized, a story about growing up in Oakland's hip-hop culture, playing basketball, and struggling with her Chinese-American identity. She shares what it was like to direct her real life aunt as one of the cutest characters in the film, and why it was so important to share her story. We also dive into the LA film scene versus the Oakland film scene, and our shared experiences growing up as Asian-Americans. And to cap it off, we discuss our collective love of Erykah Badu, and why her Lunar New Year Panda Express commercial made us cry. Enjoy!

This conversation was a real treat! For anyone who has ever listened to Bitch Talk, you know how much we loved Anthony Bourdain. So you can imagine our excitement at getting the chance to speak with his co-author, assistant, and "lieutenant" for almost 10 years, Laurie Woolever. Her newest book, "Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography", is full of stories compiled by almost 100 of his closest friends, family, and co-workers. She shares with us the details of her first encounter with Tony, his obsession with tanning, some behind the scenes stories from their travels to Japan and Sri Lanka, why she thinks he would have loved living through a global pandemic, and what she misses most about him. We loved this conversation, and we love this book. Enjoy!
