We loved reliving our high school awkward years with Hillary and Anna Elizabeth Shakespeare, the sisters  behind the film, Soundtrack to Sixteen. We get into the differences between growing up British vs American, coming to terms with your childhood bullies, choosing the uncertainty of a career in the arts, and the  process of creating an impactful soundtrack. We hope you enjoy this interview, support this film, but above all else- burn all the pictures of yourself in high school.

We are honored to have Academy Award nominated composer Emile Mosseri on the show! We first heard Emile's music chops as the composer of the score for the film The Last Black Man in San Francisco  and that score touched our hearts in a  way we've never experienced . PERIODT.  So when we heard that Emile scored the film Minari, we had to see if he'd be on the show.  

So let's get into it and talk about a film composers process, how Emile got involved with the film Minari, playing in bands with friends, and hanging out with his vaccinated family in Israel.

The first time we met director Azazel Jacobs was for his film, The Lovers, in 2017, and we bonded over our mutual love for dogs! We were excited to reconnect for his most recent film, French Exit, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges. We get into his process for building an incredible cast, working with cats, creating imaginary worlds, psychics and souls, and why making a film is a great excuse to travel to France. Azazel has created a world where the characters are just as colorful as the scenery, and we were happy to be along for the ride.

French Exit is available in select theaters on April 2nd. To find a theater near you, click here.

We just came off of (virtually) attending our first South by Southwest Festival, so we're talking all things film, music, comedy, and more! Including attending conferences with the likes of George W. Bush, and two of our favorite past guests, Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs (we can't wait for the spin-off TV series based on their film, Blindspotting)! We give you some behind the scenes info on our interviews, and the monkey football of being press. Some topics include being one degree closer to Peaches, witches, the Filipino takeover, and boners.  Enjoy!

This is our witch on witch episode featuring the Canadian musician Witch Prophet and Elle Callahan who is the writer/director of the film Witch Hunt.  It was so much fun for us to get into some witchy chat in two separate interviews during the SXSW festival with women who are creating art in their own genres!  With Witch Prophet, we talk music, Canada, and how her partner supports her music career. With Elle, we chat about her history with witches, filmmaking and writing, casting Witch Hunt, and growing up in Massachusetts. 

Thanks so much for listening to our block of SXSW interviews and hope you enjoy this last interview from the fest!

If you thought you knew about our country's troubling past, think again. Thankfully, Jeffery Robinson has come to our rescue, to fill in the major gaps (we're talking Grand Canyon sized gaps) in America's history of racism. The SXSW documentary Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, is probably the most important film that we, as Americans, can watch in this moment. And this conversation with co-directors Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler, and the film's subject/writer, Jeffrey Robinson, has left us with a lot to reflect on, and a lot of work to do. So have a listen, support this film, and visit the Who We Are Project for more information.

We had a lot of fun chatting with co-director of the SXSW documentary Luchadoras (and our new best friend) Paola Calvo.  The documentary follows four badass lady wrestlers who live in what is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. As if the work they do isn't hard enough, just existing as a woman in this town is a threat to their lives. We discuss feminism, borders, and the importance of comradery between the women of Lucha Libre.  And to cap it off, your girls at Bitch Talk may have secured a trip to Mexico to join the ladies of Lucha Libre in the ring! We're practicing our flying clothesline as we speak...

Does anyone out there remember the name Reality Winner? We had a fuzzy recollection of this 24-hour news cycle name that we heard early in 45's presidency but had forgotten because of the 24-hour news cycle we all lived through the past four years. Director Sonia Kennebeck has done a deep dive into this story following Reality as well as her families struggle with a government who punishes its citizens for whistleblowing even if it's in the countries best interest.  

Take a listen to our conversation with Sonia as we talk about the United States vs. Reality Winner, Edward Snowden, the strange goings on while filming in Russia, and how dangerous it is working on these types of documentary stories.

Today we're getting into the SXSW film Soy Cubana, a documentary that follows the Vocal Vidas, a musical group from Cuba as they attempt to travel to Los Angeles to perform in a summer concert series. We're joined by co-directors Jeremy Ungar and Ivaylo Getov and producer Robin Miller Ungar, who explain how they got connected with the Vocal Vidas, and why they had to turn this short story into a feature length documentary. We get into the ability of music to unite, why the documentary almost didn't get made,  and the serendipitous magic of being in the right place at the right time. This movie brings the joy and the warmth that we so desperately needed, and we hope to see the Vocal Vidas one day in real life! Remember concerts?

When we decided to have director Martin Edralin on the show to talk about his film Islands, we didn't know how the movie was going to effect us. Martin wrote and directed a film that perfectly describes the experience of a Filipino family outside of their homeland. It tackles the real challenges around the caretaking of one parent after the other passes away, processing (or not processing) death,  socializing as an adult, loneliness, and of course Elvis impersonators in our families. 

We thank Martin for letting us share our experiences and how they 100% related to his beautiful film. We see you, Martin, and are so excited for the wide release of Islands.
