We have a dang delight for a guest this week. We are joined by the self-proclaimed “artist, educator, and instigator” Nayland Blake to discuss Rebecca Hall’s directorial debut, ‘Passing.’ Drea also suggests that Alonso and his husband Dave dress up as “Turkey Pugsley” from ‘Addams Family Values’ in honor of Thanksgiving. Plus, we have another installment of the ‘Christmas Movie Minute.’ And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

In news, M*l G*bson is back to direct ‘Lethal Weapon 5’, the dialect coach for ‘House of Gucci’ is critical of Lady Gaga’s accent work, and Lindsay Lohan is set to star in a Netflix Christmas movie.
