BUILD Brunch: September 28, Sarah Ullman Joins The Table by Oath

Today we discuss Drew Barrymore’s reaction to Kim Kardashian’s childhood obsession with her (1:17), Mindy Kaling on gender parity in Hollywood (6:34), a reunion concert of the musical “Wicked” (12:47), a new study comparing sex to live music events (17:35), and “One Vote at a Time” founder Sarah Ullman joins the table to discuss the importance of voting in the midterm elections (23:12).

One thing Cameron Kasky saw, traveling around the country, is that people, from both sides, lack a proficient understanding of the issues he or she may be passionate about. After being thrust into a national conversation that hit so close to home, he realized he would be forced to engage in conversations with adults and he would fall short. Not because of lack of passion, but because of lack of critical knowledge on the issue. Based on the aforementioned, Kasky is starting "Middle Ground." "Middle Ground" is a 501(c3) aimed at educating the youth on all types of political topics. Kasky sat down with BUILD to discuss his new organization.

“Remy & Papoose: Meet The Mackies” premieres on Monday, October 1 at 9PM ET/PT. Over the course of the series, viewers can expect a healthy dose of #BlackLove as Remy and Papoose prepare to expand their blended family with their newest addition, otherwise known as the “golden child.” After several rounds of IVF treatment, Remy and Pap’s dreams have finally turned into a reality, and this time around they can look to their grown kids to help out with the new baby.

Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge’s "Matangi / Maya / M.I.A." is a startlingly personal profile of the critically acclaimed artist, chronicling her remarkable journey from refugee immigrant to pop star. The documentary provides unparalleled, intimate access to the artist in her battles with the music industry and mainstream media as her success and fame explodes, becoming one of the most recognizable, outspoken and provocative voices in music today.

"The Neighborhood" follows Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) as he and his family arrive from Michigan to an LA community quite different from their previous small town. However, their opinionated next-door neighbor Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer) is wary of the newcomers, certain that they'll disrupt the culture on the block. Dave realizes that fitting in with the new community is more complex than he had expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, there's an excellent chance of making the new neighborhood a great place to live.

In "The Samuel Project," Eli (Ryan Ochoa) gets to know his grandfather Samuel (Hal Linden) for the first time when he makes him the subject of an animated art project for school. With dreams of becoming a professional artist, the high school senior discovers that his grandpa, a Jewish dry cleaner, was heroically saved from Nazi capture in Germany by a young woman when he was a boy.

In "All About Nina," Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Nina Geld, an up-and-coming comedian in New York City. She’s funny, smart and has worked hard to build a career for herself in the male-dominated world of stand-up. But when it comes to romantic relationships, Nina’s life is a mess. She packs up and moves to Los Angeles, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to audition for Comedy Prime — the end all, be all of late night comedy. After killing it in Los Angeles, she meets chill contractor Rafe Hines (Common), who tempts the brash New Yorker into considering commitment. Sublimating her own desire to self-destruct, Nina has to answer the question, once and for all, of whether women can indeed have it all.

Today we discuss ABC’s Dancing With The Stars: Juniors (4:51), Rashida Jones’s newborn baby (8:50), Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume (13:34), Lil Xan’s flaming hot cheetos hospital visit (20:22), and Michelle Visage joins the table to discuss DragCon (43:32).
