Warning: this episode is what happens when you start drinking Crement (French sparkling wine) at 1 pm. We discuss the Emmy nominations, the exciting diversity in our Olympic gymnastics team, Erin's newfound love of tennis, and our attempt to become three-peat winners of the 48 Hills Best of the Bay Readers Poll for Best Podcast (vote here)! And then we dive into our thoughts on threesomes, the crackling details of Erin and Ange's first (and last) couple's massage, and being propositioned for an orgy.

Owl is a film that debuted at CAAMFest this year about a woman who returns home to Oakland to care for her ailing father, and her problems quickly become much bigger than she ever expected. Director/writer/co-producer Julian Pham and co-producer/lead talent/musician Marica Petrey join us to share how the idea for this film stemmed from a picture Julian took of Marica, their pride in highlighting Oakland and finding beauty in the grittiness of the city, the reason behind their eclectic choices in music styles, and some great advice for budding filmmakers.

We're excited to share our first official coverage of the Tribeca Festival! (virtually through Zoom, but it still counts!)

We kick things off with the documentary New Wave, which follows director Elizabeth Ai on a mission to share the untold story of rebellious punks in the '80s Vietnamese new wave community, but in the process, ends up facing her own haunting past. Director Elizabeth Ai and producer Rachel Sine reflect on how the film took a turn on an unexpected emotional roller coaster, the importance of archival footage (and their creative way of collecting it), the importance of discussing mental health in the AAPI community, and getting Simu Liu on board as Executive Producer.

Next, we discuss the short film A Family Guide to Hunting, about a daughter who takes her uptight Korean-American parents and All-American boyfriend on a bonding hunting trip, where things turn from bad to grisly. Director/writer/producer Zao Wang and producers Joyce Liu-Countryman and Louise Barretto join us to share the behind the scenes logistical complications (ie: snow in LA?!?), why Margaret Cho was the only person who could play the role of the mother, and the special brand of love that is unique to immigrant families.

We're continuing our celebration of Pride month and wanted to remind you that the Frameline Film Festival (the longest running and largest LGBTQIA film festival in the world) is currently happening in SF and Oakland until June 29th! We start off this episode with our experience at opening night, and encourage you to find the list of events and buy tickets here!

We're flashing back to the South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas, to a powerful and entertaining film that you can stream from the comfort of your home right now!

Queendom is a documentary that follows Gena Marvin, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, as she wears costumes and stages performances that blend a new form of art and activism- and the dangers she faces as a result. We were joined by director Agniia Galdanova and producer Igor Myakotin to discuss how they met Gena, how they kept their crew safe while filming her in public, and the complications that were added while filming during the start of the war in Ukraine.

Thelma is the action/comedy film we've all been waiting for, and this interview was just as fun as watching the movie! Thelma is a 93 year-old grandmother who gets duped by a phone scammer and sets out on a quest through the streets of LA to reclaim what was taken from her.

Director Josh Margolin and the film's star, June Squibb, join us to explain how Josh's 103 year-old grandmother was the inspiration for the film, and that June was always his first choice for the lead. Then June shares her favorite stunts to perform, and the story behind her new nickname "stops-on-a-dime Squibb". We cap it off with some touching behind the scenes stories of their time working with Richard Roundtree.

Thelma opens in theaters on June 21! Get tickets here

Welcome to Flashback Friday! We're bringing back two great films that we covered at SXSW, because you will be able to see them on the big screen (and we highly recommend that you do) during the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco (from June 19th -June 29th)!

A House Is Not A Disco captures a year in the life of the world's most iconic homo-normative community: Fire Island Pines. Director Brian J. Smith and producer Jeremy Truong share the difficulty of staying focused while you're being offered margaritas during filming, how climate change became an important part of the story, and the concept behind "food for bottoms".

I Don't Understand You is a narrative film that follows an American couple on the verge of adopting a baby as they find themselves stranded in rural Italy without transportation or language skills. And of course, chaos ensues. This interview is with producers Jessamine Burgum and Kara Durrett from Pinky Promise Films. We get into starting a production company during the heart of the pandemic, their decision making process for new films, how being a young company is an advantage in an ever changing industry, and what a difference it makes to work with really cool people.

Purchase tickets to see these films here!

We're continuing our celebration of Pride Month by discussing the Frameline Film Festival (the world's oldest and largest LGBTQIA film festival, running June 19th-June 29th) with Executive Director, Allegra Madsen!

Allegra is a badass bitch who has been able to marry her love of community building with her love of films as Frameline's newly coined Executive Director. She shares how she ended up in San Francisco, her (sometimes embarrassing) favorite movies growing up, how she was able to create a space for communities that are continually displaced in SF's Bayview district, and why film is a great gateway to other art forms. We then discuss our collective excitement over this year's festival lineup, including an epic (and free!) Juneteenth block party in the Castro District to kickoff the whole event. We'll see you there!

Join the fun and get tickets to this year's Frameline Film Festival here!
