The Gala Show

Each month this season, Gala features a returning guest on the mic. For the month of October, Chris Alexander (S1E20) comes back to the show to chat about KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. Chris explains to Gala how he was first introduced to the band KISS, how he first saw this film, and what this movie means to its fans — but first, a question about how fatherhood has changed his perception on cinema.

On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala meets filmmaker Ethan Berger to chat all about their favorite movies. Ethan shares with Gala how All That Jazz affected him, how viewing movies at different times in your life can shape you, and a bit about the films that influenced his directorial debut The Line — but first, a question about his favorite video game.

Ethan's new movie, The Line (starring Alex Wolff, Bo Mitchell, and Lewis Pullman) will be in theaters starting October 18th.

Can you believe that it's been a full year since Gala started conducting her interviews? 52 interviews and 3 bonus episodes later, we are ready to wrap up the year in a nice little bow. For her Season One Wrap-Up, Roger hijacks the show to ask Gala your burning questions in this mega-episode hang out.

On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala hangs out with writer Ian McDonald to hear all about his favorite true crime movies. Ian shares with Gala what draws him to the genre, what overlapping themes his picks share, and how to be comfortable in the uncomfortable — but first, a question about the films he made when he was younger.

Ian's new film, Woman of the Hour (directed by Anna Kendrick) is streaming on Netflix on October 18th.

On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala ditches her timer to chat with Type AB (Brian Netto & Adam Schindler) about their favorite debut feature films. Brian and Adam share with Gala 3 of their favorite flicks. The trio chat about why they picked the movies, their experiences watching them, and how the films affected their creative lives — but first, a question about how this directing duo met and where they got their name.

Type AB's new film, Don't Move, is streaming on Netflix starting October 25th.

On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala hangs out with filmmaker Michael Felker to chat about his favorite "oh shit, it's on!" moments in cinema. Michael shares with Gala the movies that give him goosebumps, how his dad imparted the importance of "it's on" to him, and some of his favorite moments that capture this sentiment — but first, a question about his favorite video game.

Michael's new movie, Things Will Be Different, will will be available on streaming and in theaters October 4th.

On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala sits down with filmmaker Al Warren (Dogleg) to chat about generational movie sharing.

Dogleg is now available for pre-order at Vinegar Syndrome.
