It's day one of the SXSW film festival for us and we're covering a couple of our favorite short films  from the fest - PUSS and Learning Tagalog with Kayla.  Both have a lot in common - they feature cats, they were written and filmed during the pandemic, and each film covers topics we've often talked about while living through 2020.

Each film has its quirks which is why we love them. So let's get into our conversations with the filmmakers talking about all of the quarantine things we love - sex, vibrators, baking, and Tagalog.

Your bitches got some time on the calendar to Basic Bitch.  That's right, between film festival coverage,  we got to sneak some time in to talk about our undying love for the film Nomadland, the recently announced 2021 Academy Award nominations, our Covid vaccine stories, Ange's powerpoint presentation on how the Catholic church fucked up her life, and so much more.  Listen in and help spread the word of Bitch Talk. In this time of xenophobia and Asian hate crimes,  having you help spread our content with your friends, family, and colleagues helps our platform as AAPI podcasters grow. Thanks!

Thanks to our friends at FilmsGoneWild.com, we're at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival with Spencer Wilkinson, the director of the documentary Alice Street. The film centers around a mural created by the Community Rejuvenation Project to be located on an iconic corner of Alice street in Oakland, Ca.  But the film encompasses so much more! We get into gentrification, the cultural melting pot of Oakland, immigration, and creating productive solutions to development and growth in major cities. Big shout out to the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts and the Hotel Oakland which are historic landmarks that play major roles in the documentary. And any film that includes Bay Area journalist (and 2 time Bitch Talk guest) Eric Arnold is already a win in our book.

Welcome to Flash Back Friday! With 500+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).

In honor of the success of Steven Yeun's most recent film, Minari, we wanted to flash back to our interview with him from November of 2018. Not only was this interview recorded in studio (remember when we used to see each other face to face?!?), but he also enjoyed a glass of whiskey with us! We talk about his film Burning, Korea, life, and the meaning of Han.  Big thanks to Steven for sitting down with us, and for being so vocal against the racism sweeping this country against the AAPI community. He is a goddamn national treasure.

Yeah, this Basic Bitch is pretty much all about the Oprah / Meghan Markle / Harry interview.  All three of us bitches watched the Oprah interview, and then a couple of us followed that interview up with the Oprah/CBS Morning conversation the next day. So many enlightening moments came from the interview for all of us  including the overarching conversation around mental health, partnership, and knowing when to ask for help. Obviously there are so many other topics to talk about and we do, so download and listen in.

Our last Slamdance Film Festival interview is with director Alberto Gerosa from his film Dea.  We had an excellent time speaking with Alberto about his film which dives into the world of domestic help in Hong Kong.  His approach was unique as he immersed himself with the workers and then the script evolved out of a 9 month  acting improv laboratory with the group of Indonesian domestic workers, who have also been victims of domestic violence while working in Hong Kong.  They shared their stories which helped craft the story of the title character Dea. 

The migrant workers who are convinced to go to Hong Kong to work are taken advantage of and can not do any other work when they get to HK because of their work visa. Although Dea is considered  a drama, this is a reality for thousands of domestic workers.  We're appreciative of Alberto magnifying this real world storyline and happy we had the chance to amplify his work.

We had so much fun chatting about the Slamdance documentary Workhorse Queen with director Angela Washko and the film's star, Mrs. Kasha Davis. The film follows Mrs. Kasha Davis' journey (both on the stage and off) as a "International Celebrity Housewife from the suburbs", and how her her run on RuPaul's Drag Race changed the course of her career in ways she never expected. We get into the difficulties of being a performer on stage yet being your true self for the documentary, the divide within the drag community, the true definition of success, and how self confidence is the key for healing and forgiveness. This is a beautifully honest documentary with so much heart! And the work Mrs. Kasha Davis is doing to spread acceptance and joy is more important now than ever.

Visit Workhorse Queen on their website, then follow them on Twitter & Instagram & Facebook for all the latest!

We couldn't stop smiling and laughing with comedian and writer Rekha Shankar who had an episodic called Hustle that was a part of this years Slamdance Film Festival.  Hustle features two women of color, working their crappy day jobs  in New York City and suffering with their big bosses. The hook of the show is that while they're living their everyday lives, they get to use their gaming "superpowers" - think getting points for using your standards badge when having to work with challenging colleagues or gold coins for using a smart comeback. It's a comedic way to look at the often racist and sexist routines women of color have to go through on a daily basis - and we loved it!

Rekha was a breath of fresh air to speak with and we hope to have her on again soon for a Basic Bitch.  Thanks for listening!

We're so happy to bring you this inspirational conversation with director/talent Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander and cinematographer/talent Danisha Harris of the Slamdance documentary Anatomy of Wings. The film tells the story of an after school program that follows 10 young black women for 12 years as they come of age in Baltimore City. We get into the importance of giving kids a space to talk, the difficulties of following 10 different lives for 12 years, and how the line between mentor and mentee is often blurred. We hope this film and conversation inspires more programs like Wings, and more open dialogue, regardless of age.

We're so lucky that Slamdance has provided some deep conversations about race, culture, and community with filmmakers. This interview with director, actor, writer, and film professor Skinner Myers is nothing short of all of these topics and more. The Sleeping Negro tells the story of a young Black man confronted with a series of racially charged incidents, who must overcome rage, alienation, and hopelessness in order to find his own humanity. Skinner, who plays the main character in The Sleeping Negro, also shot this movie on Kodak film in  8 1/2  days. 

We dig in with Skinner, who we thank for getting vulnerable with us and talking about how truly racist America  is and how America keeps spitting out shitty humans. We get in to some real talk in this episode and we're very thankful for it.
