This week, J. McVay and Matt Ruby discuss the competing documentaries recently released by Netflix (‘Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened’) and Hulu (‘Fyre Fraud’) within days of each other, both about the infamously failed Fyre Festival, which was planned by Billy MacFarland and Ja Rule for April and May of 2017, ostensibly to promote their Fyre booking App.
Also, Jacqueline Soller and J. McVay discuss the 2018 movie, ‘First Man,’ directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy...
And we’ll take an exclusive early listen to a performance by Brooklyn artist Bedstudy, from their upcoming BTR Live Studio session.
Music composed by and show edited by Hansdale Hsu.
