| Flashback Friday - Black Zombie and Ghost in the Machine | 11 sept. 2026 | 00:38:56 | |
We're bringing back two films that left a lasting impact, and will (finally!) be coming to a screen near you! Black Zombie unearths the buried origins of the zombie, from Hollywood horror to the haunted cane fields of colonized Haiti. Director Maya Annik Bedward joined us at this years SXSW to share why this cultural reckoning is so important for Haiti, her difficulties in figuring out what to include in the film, and how a special scene with Erol Josué, General Director of Haiti's National Bureau of Ethnology and Vodou Priest, was one of the most beautiful things she's ever filmed. Ghost in the Machine is a documentary that we saw at this year's Sundance Film Festival which reveals the dark untold origins of Artificial Intelligence, and where we go from here. Director Valerie Veatch sits down with us to discuss her years long work examining the intersection of technology and society, why we should all be friction maxing everyday (and what the hell that actually means), and how being a parent informs her work (and vice versa).

| American Doctor Director Poh Si Teng | 26 août 2026 | 00:28:52 | |
This interview was recorded this past spring during SFFilm Festival, and covers one of the most powerful documentaries we've seen this year year — American Doctor . The film follows three American doctors — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian– as they enter Gaza to save lives, and ultimately risk everything to expose the truth. We sit down with director Poh Si Teng to discuss the urgency of this film, the importance of allyship, and why a film festival in Minnesota was her most powerful screening yet. To cap it all off, Poe drops the realest "This Bitch" ever. American Doctor is in theaters now!

| Frameline 2026 - Hunky Jesus and Leviticus | 22 juin 2026 | 00:28:20 | |
We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Frameline Film Festival (the world's longest running and largest LGBTQIA film fest!) with two films that shine a light on hypocrisy in religion in very different ways. Hunky Jesus is a wildly entertaining documentary about the annual Hunky Jesus competition that takes place in Dolores Park in San Francisco on Easter Sunday (amen). Director Jennifer Kroot joins us to share her thoughts on the displacement of counter culture in San Francisco, overcoming religious trauma, and why the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are part of the heart and soul of San Francisco. Leviticus is a queer coming of age horror film that is meant to be seen on the big screen! Director/writer Adrian Chiarella and actor Joe Bird join us to discuss making an original story with bold ideas, an opening scene that pulls you in from the start, and how religion (and beyond) uses fear as a tool to divide. Hunky Jesus is screening on June 26th at the Castro Theater. For tickets, CLICK HERE! Leviticus is in theaters right now! For showtimes, CLICK HERE!

| Frameline 2026 - At the Place of Ghosts and Black Burns Fast | 13 juin 2026 | 00:31:19 | |
It's time to celebrate Frameline's 50th anniversary (June 17th-27th), the longest running and largest LGBTQIA film festival in the world! We are proud to bring you two very different films that celebrate representation from international independent voices. At the Place of Ghosts is a trauma-centric horror film that follows two estranged brothers as they venture into the wilderness to exorcise a demon and confront the ghosts of the past in order to find healing and closure. We are joined by director Bretten Hannam to dive into the difficulties of filming in the middle of a dense forest, the importance of sharing the indigenous language, and the sibling dynamics and family secrets at the core of this film. Black Burns Fast is a sweet and awkward coming-of-age story about a scholarship student at an elite all girls' private school whose world is turned upside down when she forms a crush on the new girl in school. Director Sandulela Asanda shares why she wanted to share a lighthearted queer narrative, telling a story that she wanted to see as a kid, and how writing a letter to her 17-year-old self helped her write the screenplay. At the Place of Ghosts is screening on June 20th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE! Black Burns Fast is screening on June 19th at New Parkway and June 26th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!

| Sundance 2026 - The Oldest Person in the World and Sentient | 05 mars 2026 | 00:31:17 | |
These two Sundance Film Festival documentaries discuss human life, both in how we deal with aging, and the lengths that we go to live longer. The Oldest Person in the World chronicles the ever-changing Guinness World Record holders of the title of oldest person alive. Director Sam Green discusses his curiosity with our obsession with death, why the record holders are mostly women, and how the story became something bigger that he never saw coming. Sentient exposes the hidden world of pain in laboratory research (both from the animals and the scientists that work in the field), questioning the justifications for harming animals and our alternatives in the future. Director Tony Jones sits down to share his frustration with vaccine deniers in the US, how we can move forward without animal testing, and why his goal with this film is to make the audience feel like you're on an emotional roller coaster.

| Sundance 2026 - Public Access and Seized | 02 mars 2026 | 00:38:44 | |
These two Sundance documentaries touch on the importance of freedom of speech, and what happens when we both give people access and take it away. Public Access shares rare footage of NYC's media rebels who turned our screens into platforms for free expression, turning ordinary people into stars. We sit down with director David Shadrack Smith and subject/public access star Jake Fogelnest to discuss the wild west of public access TV, why Jake interrogated David before he agreed to participate in the film, and Jake being the original influencer. Seized documents the illegal raid of the Marion County Record, a small town Kansas newspaper, and what happened in its aftermath. Director Sharon Liese joins us to share how she gained the trust of the local people, the importance of telling both sides, and how the arrival of a new intern changed the way the story would be told.

| Sundance 2026 - La Tierra del Valor and Luigi | 27 févr. 2026 | 00:36:39 | |
This episode brings you two Sundance documentary short films that touch on such timely issues that our filmmakers rushed to get them out as soon as possible. In La Tierra del Valor (The Home of the Brave), during a summer of grief and fear brought about by ice raids in Los Angeles, one small act of bravery brings a community of hope. Director (and return guest) Cristina Costantini and producer Alfie Koetter sit down with us to discuss how they met Nezza, the patriotism of immigrants, and how bravery feels a lot like fear. In short, FUCK ICE. Luigi is a short film about the cultural sensation (and obsession) following the murder charge of Luigi Mangione. Director (and return guest) Liza Mandelup shares why she was inspired to tell the story from this perspective, how she scouted online and in her own backyard of NYC for the subjects of her film, and our collective rage and frustration that has led us to this moment. In short, HEALTH CARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

| Sundance 2026 - Joybubbles and Ghost in the Machine | 25 févr. 2026 | 00:37:04 | |
This episode brings you two Sundance documentaries that show very different ways that technology can have an impact on our lives. Joybubbles is a biopic about a blind man (born decades before the internet or the computer) who learns how to manipulate the telephone system by whistling, and inadvertently lays the groundwork for the future of hacking and technology. Director Rachel J. Morrison joins us to share how she learned about Joybubbles from his obituary in the NY Times, his connection to Mr. Rogers, and the meta way in which she found hours of tapes of Joybubbles speaking about his life. Ghost in the Machine is a documentary that reveals the dark untold origins of Artificial Intelligence, and where we go from here. Director Valerie Veatch sits down with us to discuss her years long work examining the intersection of technology and society, why we should all be friction maxing everyday (and what the hell that actually means), and how being a parent informs her work (and vice versa).

Once Upon a Time in Harlem invites the viewer to be a fly on the wall at a gathering of Harlem Renaissance artists and intellectuals at Duke Ellington's house in the summer of 1972. Director David Greaves and producer Liani Greaves join us to discuss the importance of engaging in meaningful communication, honoring William Greaves' legacy, and the significance of this film being released 50 years later. The Baddest Speechwriter of All is a short film about MLK's attorney and speechwriter, Dr. Clarence B. Jones. Co-director Ben Proudfoot and producer Erick Peyton sit down to discuss working with Stephen Curry (as co-director), the colorful way they decided to open the film, and why Dr. Clarence's life makes them optimistic about the future.

Levitating (Para Perasuk) follows Bayu as he attempts to become a shaman of a trance party so he can make enough money to keep from being evicted. We were joined by director Wregas Bhanuteja, and stars Anggun and Maudy Ayunda, to discuss the historical roots of trance parties in Indonesia, why Wregas was inspired to write this story, the creative way that Anggun channelled the sounds of an ant, and how Maudy choreographed her own trance dance moves. Bedford Park is the beautiful tale of two lost souls colliding, a Korean American woman struggling with family expectations and her own aspirations, and an ex-wrestler haunted by his past. We sat down with director Stephanie Ahn to discuss her years long process in casting, why becoming a mother helped her make this film, and the contradictory love languages between eastern culture and western culture. Jaripeo is a documentary about the queer desires that come to the surface on the sidelines of Michoacán’s hyper-masculine rodeos. We were joined by co-directors Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig to share why they wanted to make this film, how they decided that Efraín needed to be on camera, and why the queer community in Michoacán gives them hope.

Today we're bringing you three Sundance Film Festival short film narratives that explore the darker side of life. Crisis Actor follows an impulsive actress as she reaches a breaking point in her addiction to drama. We sit down with director/writer Lily Platt and actor Sarah Steele to talk victimhood, privilege, and why everyone could use a little therapy. Congrats to Crisis Actor for winning the Short Film Jury Award for US Fiction! Taga follows a Filipino American as she travels to the Philippines to reconnect to her roots, but encounters a group of eco-volunteers who disturb the village and awaken ancient monsters. Director/writer Jill Marie Sachs and producer Louise Barretto join us to discuss the wealth of monsters and folklore in Filipino culture, why they prepared an offering for the land before filming in a remote village of the Philippines, and how "woke backpackers" can sometimes turn toxic. In Prime, a trauma victim joins a utopian farm and realizes she's bitten off more than she can chew. Director/writer Meagan Coyle joins us to discuss why people are drawn to cults, the art of pacing in a short film, and how she went from make-up artist to director.
