Lane Moore is all the hyphenates- writer/actor/comedian/musician/all around bad-bitch. We had so much fun diving into the origin of her Tinder Live show that is celebrating its 10th anniversary at SF Sketchfest with guest hosts Busy Philipps and Paul F. Tompkins at Cobb's Comedy Club on January 24th! She explains how she's been an all around artist since childhood, the comedy and sometimes horror of app dating, how her Ted Talk and books will reflect her legacy, and her band's (It Was Romance) second album coming out in February!

Nickel Boys is based on a novel (which is based on a true story) that follows two African-American boys who form a close friendship while enduring the the horrors of a reform school in Florida. Director RaMell Ross sits down with Erin to discuss how he was able to conceptualize big concepts from the book into a film through tone and an incredible soundtrack, why it took four years of research to collect the archival footage, and casting Bay Area favorites Daveed Diggs and Jimmie Fails.

Nickel Boys is now playing in select theaters! For tickets, click here

How is it possible that 2024 both flew by and seemed to last forever? With our Storied: San Francisco fellow podcaster (sometimes audio producer and Erin's partner) we recap behind the scenes highlights from festivals and live events, our favorite interviews and return guests, a year that brought the Bay's first POC Food and Wine Fest and Color Your Mind Festival, the birth of The Bay List, and ending the year with a trip to LA for good food, a Bitch Talk business coaching session with Morgan Shidler, and the spank heard 'round the world.

Have a good NYE everyone. Thank's so much for following, liking, re-sharing, and commenting on our content!

Nurse Unseen is a documentary that explores the untold history and humanity of the Filipino nurses who risked their lives on the front lines of the pandemic while being thousands of miles away from home. Director Michele Josue explains the importance of telling Filipino stories through our lens, and how she started filming before the pandemic and when the story took an unexpected turn. Then we share what it means to unpack the colonization mentality, and our mutual love for Tia Carrera in Wayne’s World.

Nurse Unseen was just picked up for distribution and will be rolling into theaters in 2025.

Anyone out there feeling burnt out? Have a full calendar, but not feeling fulfilled?  Daydream about another kind of life, but not sure how to get there? You're not alone. There's a community of folks led by curiosity deep diving into their lives and filling their days with play, gratitude, push, and hustling.

That community was founded and is facilitated by Morgan Shidler, who worked in the public education system in San Francisco and Oakland until she was laid off. Finding herself at a low point, Morgan started piecing together a system that helped her reflect and find ways to connect to the things she dreamed of. That system, called Hustle & Play, is a values-based program that helps you look at how you spend time in your life and how you want to change it.

In this episode, we speak at length about the process it took Morgan to create Hustle & Play, how the community has grown, what she's learned from years of having this program and its workbook out in the world, and how Erin has used it in her own life.

Look, life is going to get harder as the new year approaches and we will need to prioritize joy in our lives. If you want to meet new people, be in community, lead with play, and reflect in meaningful ways—hop on the Hustle & Play train. You will be investing in your own growth as the system keeps trying to push us down.

Right now, there are Palestinian and Israeli people working toward peace. This work has transcended chaos, war, and hate. Frequent guest of the show, director Julie Cohen (RBG, Every Body, My Name is Pauli Murray, Julia) and new friend of the show director Mo Husseini partnered on The Path Forward to capture the work done by everyday people who want to end histories of trauma and heal through conversation and community-building.

This short documentary film seeks to amplify the voices of some of the most eloquent and inspiring voices of peace. Interweaving their moving on-stage dialogues in the U.S. and Europe with their poignant life stories, this doc creates a tapestry of demands for peace and reconciliation. The film contains no images of war, death, or campus protests. Instead, viewers will be immersed in the minds and heart-opening world of innovative thinkers finding a new way forward.

We are honored to bring you this conversation with Julie, who identifies as Jewish-American, and Mo who identifies as Palestinian-American. Their work is essential to helping save our humanity.

A conversation with Jeff Hiller is so comforting, it's just the medicine we needed in this moment. He stars in one of Bitch Talk's favorite shows, Somebody Somewhere, which has started it's third and final season on HBO/Max/whatever it's called. He shares with us his biggest dream for a future acting role, the story behind his real life obsession with Mentholatum, which scene made everyone both in front of and behind the camera cry, and a life changing tip from the show's costume designer, Tasha. And just when we thought we couldn't love him any more, we cap off the conversation off by bonding over our mutual obsession for the film Moonstruck.

We were so excited to have director Nicholas Ma back on the show, and as you listen, you'll see exactly why. His new documentary, Leap of Faith, follows twelve diverse christian leaders as they struggle with some of today's most contentious issues. Nicholas shares his roller coaster of emotions while directing the film, his thoughts on why communication is the most important thing in a divided world, and how their vulnerability on screen has taught him how to be more vulnerable in real life.

Leap of Faith is out in select cities, and opens in LA today, Nov 15th! CLICK HERE for tickets to a city near you
