Nobody Cares (Except for Me)

It's true: a lot of people care about basketball. But to be honest, Anne doesn't at all and Cadence Weapon does a lot. Which is why he sits down to talk to her about why he loves it, how it's a metaphor for bigger things, and why it's always been a big part of his life. Also, apologies for all Raptors references: at one point, we were all so hopeful. You can follow Cadence Weapon on Twitter and Instagram, and catch his tour dates here.

If you have a special place in your heart for documentary filmmaking, vulnerability, and talent, turn up the volume and cry: AGNES VARDA is here. (Well, sort of.) Join cléo founder and TIFF and Miami Film Festival programmer Kiva Reardon who sits down with Anne to explain why Agnes Varda means so much, why her work matters more than ever, and what it was like to sit in the filmmaker's living room and talk about feelings. (Spoiler: amazing. It was amazing.) You can follow Kiva on Twitter and Instagram.

Some of us watch reality television, others (hello) have memorized entire seasons of The Great British Bake Off. But comedian, actor, writer, and Beaverton co-host Miguel Rivas takes solace in YouTube cooking videos which he can (and will) not apologize for. Join he and Anne while they talk cooking, family, and earnestness. Even though Anne isn't always partial to two of those three.  You can follow Miguel on Twitter and Instagram, and make sure to attend the next Rapp Battlez when/if you're in Toronto.

You know what's cooler than a million dollars? Listening to writer Rachel Davies explain why she's obsessed with The Social Network. So while you can't crank up the (best movie) soundtrack (ever) while listening to her opinions on Mark Zuckerberg, Aaron Sorkin, and Rooney Mara, you can sleep soundly knowing that you're not alone: it really is one of the most comforting films to watch and re-watch during times of stress and strife. You can follow Rachel on Twitter and on Instagram, or you can head to her website.

Heartbreakingly, this podcast hasn't been executive produced by Dick Wolf, but don't let that small setback deter you. This week, writer and Drunk Feminist Film's Amil Niazi joins Anne to talk about Law and Order: SVU and the world it created for true crime fanatics. Plus: the best episodes, the worst, why it's a source of comfort despite being inherently upsetting, and why under no circumstances does anyone care about Olivia's son. You can follow Amil on Twitter and if you're lucky, on Instagram.

Crop circles, aliens, the Illuminati -- one of these subjects is boring and comedian, actor, and improviser Sarah Hillier doesn't bring it to the table. But the rest? And the allure of conspiracies altogether? And what they mean? And their downsides? Hello. Join Anne and Sarah as they talk about that strange airport with the mural (you know the one) and what constitutes as a bankable conspiracy theory vs. pure garbage. Just don't blame them if you can't sleep at night. You can follow Sarah on Instagram and on Twitter.

You can't always get what you want. At least, within reason. This week, writer, actor, and comedian Nelu Handa joins Anne to talk about MANIFESTING, and why her beliefs about it are less about The Secret and more about . . . well, you'll have to listen. Which isn't hard when Nelu begins generously sharing tales of her own professional arc. You can follow Nelu on Twitter and Instagram, and you can catch Yas Kween live at Bad Dog Comedy Theatre on the first Thursday of every month.

Writer Nourhan Hesham has a lot to say about Point Break -- but don't worry: she only cares about the good one. Join her as she goes in on why it's the ultimate love story, why it's a commentary on the myth of male masculinity, and how serious she is about all of it. (Also, Anne admits that she would be fine with robbing a bank.) (JK.) (Or not.) You can follow Nourhan on Twitter and on Instagram.

After the winter of our discontent, summer is finally here and we all know what that means: RUMMAGE SALES (or garage sales or antique markets -- whatever). Fortunately, author of A Brief History of Oversharing and comedian Shawn Hitchins joins Anne to dissect the ins and outs of antiquing, thrifting, and why both of them are so obsessed with other people's old shit. Spoiler alert: they're also very into ghosts. You can buy Shawn's book online and wherever books are sold, and you can follow him on Twitter and Instagram.

Thanks to actor, writer, and comedian Paloma Nuñez, Anne gets to talk about something she and every Canadian baseball fan have feelings on: the Toronto Blue Jays. Together, they talk tradition, the dangers of boys' clubs, and what it means to be a fan -- and yes, they'd appreciate if the Jays let them throw the first pitch for once in their lives. You can follow Paloma on Twitter and Instagram, or catch her live when she's performing.
