Nick welcomes journalist, podcaster, and filmmaker Amy Guth to talk about her latest behind-the-scenes movie work, her illuminating trip to Berlin for a major film festival, what it’s like to cover the news under the current administration, and why she’s excited to start working on a creepy new TV series in Canada.

Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to chat about the very subtle—but real—differences between Jason Statham and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, the hypnotic appeal of Buc-ee’s roadside stores, the many bizarre versions of “The Macarena,” and why it’s impossible to move a couch without referencing Friends.
