“Life And Nothing More” is the most authentic movie you will see this year. It stars non-actors in a story about a single African-American mom in a small Florida town, trying to prevent her 14 year old from following his imprisoned dad’s footsteps. The film won the prestigious “John Cassavetes Award” at the Spirit Awards. Star Regina Williams and writer/director Antonio Mendez join me.

Also the 6th annual Reel Recovery Film Festival is on now through November 8th at the Village East Cinema. We speak with founder and recovering addict Leonard Buschel.

Are you dreading Thanksgiving because of the political strife in your family (seemingly EVERY family)? You gotta see the new satire “The Oath,” which takes our divided times to extremes – starring the red hot Tiffany Haddish. Writer, directer, producer, AND stars Ike Barinholtz (“Mad TV” & “The Mindy Project”) joins me. I LOVED this movie.

Ricki Lake (“Hairspray” & the youngest person ever to host a TV talk show at 24!) goes to pot this week- Lake and director Abby Epstein explain why they created the doc “Weed The People”, which is all about marijuana as medical CURE... a CANCER cure!!!

We lost legendary bluesman Paul Butterfield to an OD at 44. Many believe it was Butterfield’s performance at the Newport Folk Festival that inspired Bob Dylan to go electric the next day: a pivotal moment in rock history...Just one tidbit from the new doc “Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story”. Such great interviews and footage. You can see it at the Roxy in Tribeca this weekend and at The Cinema Arts Center in Huntington Station in 2 weeks. Director John Anderson joins me.

Secrets. We all have them. That’s at the center of the new movie “Change in the Air” starring Mary Beth Hurt, Aidan Quinn, Macy Gray, Olympia Dukakis, M. Emmet Walsh & Rachel Brosnahan. Director Dianne Dreyer joins me in our second segment.
