"Somewhere In Queens" had its world premiere at last year's Tribeca Festival, where it received positive reviews for Ray Romano's writing, direction, and acting from him, Laurie Metcalf, and the rest of the ensemble. It's finally being released in theaters this weekend by Roadside Attractions. Romano was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the jitters behind directing his first feature film, how vital casting was to him, what advice he received from Bradley Cooper, and more. Please take a listen down below and enjoy! Thank you.

"Evil Does Not Exist" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction, writing, ambiguous ending, and commentary on climate change. Academy Award-nominee Ryusuke Hamaguchi ("Wheel Of Fortune And Fantasy") became a household name after his previous film, "Drive My Car," was nominated for four Oscars, winning Best International Feature Film, so naturally, anticipation for his follow-up was sky high. He was kind enough to sit and talk with us about his latest work during the New York Film Festival last year, where it also screened. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released this weekend in American theaters from Sideshow/Janus Films. Thank you, and enjoy!
