Welcome to part 1 of our 2 part interview with  our dear friend of the show Evelyn Obamos! In this first episode, she shares her most recent adventures filming a trip to the Philippines with hip-hop rising star Ruby Ibarra, meeting the CEO of Rappler (the NPR of the Philippines) and all around badass, Maria Ressa, living in a shipping container with her family in Guam, and her adventures as a (semi) child celebrity. 

Thank you Evelyn for being open about both the struggles and the beauty of growing up poor, and what you learned about yourself in your most recent trip to the motherland. This interview was so good we didn't want it to end! Be on the lookout for part 2 which takes a completely different turn when her boyfriend Jeremiah joins in on the fun...Enjoy!

Be well, stay safe, and thank you for staying home.

Oooooo weeeee! We get back to basics in this Basic Bitch with Captain Party, Producer Char, and Erin!

We haven't been able to catch our breath and just have a basic bitch in a minute. It's been a really strong month of interviews with our heroes in  entertainment, food, politics, and poetry. On this episode we get to talk about the sneeze that made us laugh so hard we cried, Siskel & Ebert, news from one of our favorite films from Sundance, Seed & Spark, Mark Duplass, and RIP to director Lynn Shelton.  Crack open a cold one and laugh with us. It's good for the soul...Enjoy!

Be well, stay safe, and thank you for staying home.

You never know what to expect from a conversation with Rafael Casal, you just buckle up and enjoy the ride!  We get into his childhood in Berkeley, what sparked his love for poetry, battling Swine Flu at the age of 23, colonialism, politics, and the importance of journaling.  He dives into why he shouldn't have to choose between being an actor, writer, and musician, and why he'd love to be defined by his art. To cap it off, he introduces us to the term "Phenomenology" and we may have just joined his secret cult.

Check out Rafael in Bad Education on HBO!

Blindspotting is also available on HBO and Prime Video.

It's been a couple of years since we've had Director and San Francisco native H.P. Mendoza on our show. We catch up with him about his (almost) year living in Tokyo, what it's like to come back to the states during a pandemic,  Japanese chicken nuggets, CAAMfest, how he won the internet early during SIP, and his legendary Mission Arcade parties.  It's always a comfort to talk and hang with H.P. and we hope to have him back on the show again soon. 

You can follow H.P. here. 

Enjoy our two part interview with H.P here & here

This is our third time having Daveed Diggs on the show (first for Blindspotting, and then at an event in support of Moms 4 Housing at the Roxy theatre in SF), but our first time getting to really know him and just shoot the shit. To say this Basic Bitch was fun is the understatement of the year! He digs into his childhood, what it felt like to swim in his own pool for the first time, what it was like to meet and perform for the Obamas, why he could never work for Pixar, and the truth about his Tony Awards acceptance speech. And of course it wouldn't be a proper conversation with Daveed Diggs without discussing our collective love and affection for Oakland and the Bay Area. Aside from making us laugh, he taught us about a new cocktail that we're dubbing the "Diggs Delight".  For that, we are eternally grateful.

Enjoy the episode, and watch Daveed in Snowpiercer, premiering on Sunday, May 17th on TNT.

Stay safe, and thank you for staying home.

We're continuing our celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with friend of the show, filmmaker/butcher/jerky girl Anica Wu. She describes her life as a young immigrant from Hong Kong, the origin of her name, and what inspired her to become a butcher and start her own jerky company. 

Anica gives us the skinny on what it's like to be (one of) the only women in the butcher industry, the struggles of carrying a cow leg, and why her jerky is going to revolutionize the industry.

Be well. Stay home.

We're continuing the celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with Oakland native Chef Tu David Phu. We had Tu on the show back in December of 2019 for the first time and really connected with his story and his energy. In this episode we talk about the effects on the restaurant industry caused by the pandemic, realities of Xenophobia,  something called the "Paris Syndrome",  his parents, and Tupac. 

We love having Tu's voice on our podcast and appreciate his time, thoughts, and ideas. We hope you do too.  Stay safe, stay home, be well.

Being confined in an enclosed space with the same people and no physical contact with the outside world.  Sound familiar?  It's also the premise of the Hulu Documentary Spaceship Earth, which explores the controversial  Biosphere 2, an experiment started in 1991 to create a self-sustaining ecosystem to both advance space exploration, and to support life in the event that the earth becomes uninhabitable.

Listen as Ange and our Daily Buzz co-host John Wildman sit down with director Matt Wolf and subjects of the film Kathleen Grey and Mark Nelson. They discuss the challenge of sifting through incredible amounts of archival footage, the controversy and challenges of this experiment, and how the effects of this study are more relevant today than ever.

Side note: we first found out about the Coronavirus while in Park City, Utah, for Sundance. Since then, articles have come out considering the fact that Sundance may have been the perfect storm for  the spreading of the disease. We wish all those in attendance well, especially those we had the honor of meeting and interviewing.

Enjoy our interview, and check out Spaceship Earth, streaming now on Hulu and other digital platforms!

We're headed back to the Sundance Film Festival to hear Erin and The Daily Buzz co-host John Wildman talk with Director Laurent Bouzereau and Producer Natasha Gregson Wagner (Natalie Woods daughter) about their HBO documentary Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.  It was a treat to speak with the daughter of old Hollywood royalty and to hear her talk about the process of putting together a documentary about her mother and family. 

If you know the story about Natalie Woods death, it's been a mystery since day one. This documentary won't give you any concrete answers about that tragic night, but it will give you a glimpse into Wood's life as a mother, actress, and feminist. You will see through the interviews Laurent and Natasha put together that Natalie Woods is still missed and has left a huge hole in the hearts of the people that loved her. 

Enjoy our interview and catch the documentary streaming now on HBO.
