Hi listeners! The main podcast is back on September 1st! But to tide you over, we have an interview special with the great Naomi Ackie. She joins us primarily to talk about BLINK TWICE in which she stars as Frida, a cocktail waitress who tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites to his private island. But vaction bliss soon evaporates as Frida begins to question her reality.

It's an impressive directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz, and Ackie is on career-best form in the lead role. We hope you enjoy this conversation (and the movie) as much as we did!
