We finally made it to the Emmys! Actually we were staying at a hotel across the street and watching them from the bar next door, but that's pretty much the same thing. We get into our favorite winners, who we thought should have won (#EmmysSoWhite), and what it was like to be Emmy's adjacent. Maybe one day we'll actually make it indoors!

There seems to be an increasing amount of things to #BasicBitch about these days, but we're focusing a major part of this episode on our outrage over the passing of SB8 in Texas. We're excited to be joined by businesswoman, political fundraiser, activist and friend of the show Stephanie Dominguez Walton, who is planning a fundraiser called Fund the Fight to benefit Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte. The virtual event is on Wednesday, September 29th, and will feature a couple of Bitch Talk's favorite guests (Alanna Brown and Rafael Casal of Blindspotting). We get into the broad scope of help that Planned Parenthood provides, the importance of stepping up in this moment, why California needs to set the example for the rest of the country, and share our own personal stories with how Planned Parenthood has saved our lives. We urge you to stay vocal and help in any way possible! (click here for tickets to Fund The Fight!).

Lisa Yadao is a badass producer/director/screenwriter that we first met at a Center for Asian American Media event in 2018. We bonded over our mutual love of food, and it's fitting that she is now here to talk about her exciting new food doc series, Roots & Wings. The series "profiles WOC chefs who use food as a conduit for cultural awareness and as a means of perpetuating their cultural traditions". And the first episode highlights Yana Gilbuena, a traveling Filipino chef bringing Kamayan food to the people, one state at a time. We get into Lisa's company, Paper Tongue Productions, how they chose which chefs to highlight, the importance of the series being 100% female made and majority BIPOC, the awesome perks on their GoFundMe campaign, and the perks of being Filipino. We had a lot of fun with this one, and we think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. You can help bring Roots & Wings to completion by donating to their GoFundMe campaign right now!

We're back with a #BasicBitch for your ass, and we have a lot on our minds. We share our anger at the passing of SB8 in Texas (we were also interviewed for a recent KQED article), losing Michael K. Williams, our fear about the upcoming CA Governor Recall (VOTE NO ON OR BY SEPTEMBER 14th please and thank you), fitted suits from China, elderly folks trying to hook Captain Party up with their nephews (please stop), and how to deal with dementia and aging. And for balance, we cap it off with our moments of pleasure.

We've been fans of Joel McHale since way back in The Soup days, and this interview is a result of the connecting of the minds via Instagram (we've finally found a purpose for social media). This conversation ranges from how he entered this world (it had something to do with sperm and Rome), to the impact of him earning a Masters degree (or lack thereof). Let's be honest, this guy doesn't need an introduction. We just hopped on the call and hoped for the best. Buckle up and enjoy!

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).

Today we're bringing you back to the Sundance Film Festival in 2020, when we spoke with director Sara Colangelo from the emotional film Worth. Worth follows a lawyer (played by Michael Keaton) fighting for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. It's based on real events and actual victims, and brings you right back to that horrible moment, 20 years ago. We get into how she got connected with this project, it's emotional impact, and what it was like to work with such incredible talent. 

You can watch Worth right now on Netflix.

We're celebrating the Bentonville Film Festival with director/writer Mari Walker of the intense and beautiful film, See You Then. Simply put, this film follows two exes who reunite ten years later after an abrupt breakup, but the topics it covers are so much more than this! We loved seeing an interesting Asian woman lead, and in depth conversations regarding trans issues. Honestly, some of the conversations in this film could have been recorded from a Bitch Talk happy hour (men, we suggest watching this film with a note pad). Mari shares her writing process, how making this film was like therapy, and how she came up with a XXX-Rated art exhibit idea for the film.

Welcome back to the Bentonville Film Festival! This time we're bringing you a fun conversation with director/writer Prashanth Kamalakanthan and producer Artemis Shaw from the film Have a Nice Life. This is a rode trip film involving a stoner musician, and an Indian housewife (played by Prashanth's mom!). We get into the importance of representation, the sweaty days on set (shot in North Carolina in the middle of summer), and their family dinners at the end of the day. Prashanth shares what it was like to shoot in his hometown, and his decision to hide the scripts from his mom. Artemis shares how she got involved in the film and how she ended up singing the film's theme song.  It's conversations like this that remind us why it's so important to support independent film.

This is our first year covering the Bentonville Film Festival, and we're excited to bring you this conversation with filmmakers/brothers Brandon and Lance Kramer, of the documentary The First Step. This film follows tv host/author/political commentator Van Jones as he attempts to pass a criminal justice bill under the Trump administration. They discuss their connection to Van Jones, the divisive nature of politics, and the difficulties of gaining access to interviews in the White House. In a country where we like to label people as villains or heroes, this film shows how real life is not that simple. 

If you live in California, don't forget to vote NO ON THE RECALL of Governor Newsom! This is a Republican power play that will end up costing us millions of dollars. For official information on the recall, click here.
