Seoul Switch is an extremely entertaining short film about an insecure Korean American boy who decides to switch places with an international K-Pop star that looks just like him. Writer/director Liann Kaye joins us virtually to explain how she got inspired to write this film, her own journey with her looks and feeling invisible as an Asian-American woman, and how she got real life K-Pop star Kevin Woo to come on board as lead actor.

But before we get to the interview, Erin and Ange discuss the importance of voting, and their thoughts with just days left before the most important election of our lifetime. If you need any information about your polling place, registration status, etc, head to vote411.org.

She joins us to discuss her memoir, The Manicurist's Daughter, that takes you through her life as the daughter of immigrants who loses her mother at a young age due to a botched tummy tuck. This amazing conversation covers everything from generational trauma to stand-up comedy, and channeling spirits to a love letter to Sizzler. A big thanks to Susan for teaching us how to live like we're mortal, and make peace with our belly fat! Now, who's down for some Sizzler?

It's been almost two months since our last Basic Bitch, and for two bitches that took a "month off", we were both busy AF! Find out how Ange learned about duck farts in Alaska, and which two exciting jobs Erin has added to her repertoire. Then they share some special event highlights from the Big Gay Supper Club at Hilda and Jesse (one of SF's best restaurants freshly minted with a Michelin Star), the intimate details behind W. Kamau Bell's newest live comedy show, joining Chef Catie Randazzo at the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world, and A Day of Film and Justice with the cast and crew of Sing Sing and Daughters, hosted by The Just Trust. Phew. We don't know about you, but we could use another break...

The Bay List is official, ya'll! And you've come to the right place to find out all about it (how it was conceived, how it was formed, who it will help, and how it will work). We sit down with writer/director/actor (and one of our favorite return guests) Rafael Casal, and film and tv producer (and creator of the original Black List), Franklin Leonard, while at a Screenwriter's Salon event in Berkeley a few months ago. And now that it's live, we can finally share how excited we are for this opportunity for writers and creative folks in the Bay Area!

Not only will you hear how Rafa and Franklin first met and how the Bay List came to be, but you'll get some screenwriting tips, hear their thoughts on what has happened to the industry since last year's strike, learn how Rafa became obsessed with horses, and find out which movie from the 90s Franklin thinks never got the respect it deserves (and the non-surprising reason why).

Holy shit, this movie is crazy! It's What's Inside (streaming now on Netflix) takes place during a pre-wedding party when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious game that awakens old demons, desires, and secrets from the past. We were joined virtually by two of the film's stars, Reina Hardesty and Nina Bloomgarden, for a lively conversation about the affects of social media, the challenge of one actor playing multiple characters, and what it would be like to have a penis.

We're back with a return guest who also just happens to be one of the best pool players in the world, Jeanette Lee! We first had her on the show to discuss her 30 for 30 documentary Jeanette Lee VS., and now she's back to discuss her new book, appropriately titled The Black Widow: A Memoir.

She shares what life experience inspired her to write her memoir, when Billie Jean King (who also writes the forward in the book!!) helped her realize her power and her voice, how fighting scoliosis and cancer helped her find her greater purpose, and her experience playing pool in the Philippines with another one of the greatest players in the world, Efren Reyes.

The film follows three estranged sisters as they care for their dying father while trying to find a way to reconnect. Azazel shares how caregiving for his parents inspired him to write this story, his deep respect for hospice workers, the impact of his decision to shoot on film, and the incredible score by composer Rodrigo Amarante.

Look Into My Eyes is an intimate look at a group of psychics in New York and their clients. Director (and return guest) Lana Wilson shares how she found clients willing to be on camera, the importance of witnessing someone, and the 20 minute lizard story that she struggled to cut down for time.
