SXSW: Downbeat with Danny Madden, Daniel Rashid, Addie Weyrich, and Arkira Chantaratananond
Episode 560
Friday, March 20, 2026 • Duration 39:37
Writer/director Danny Madden joins stars and co-writers Daniel Rashid, Addie Weyrich, and Arkira Chantaratananond to talk Downbeat, a "broke-wave" film about a lost soul that turns to bucket drumming and his younger sister to heal and find connection. The team digs into their collective improv that built the film's story, the central tension between pursuing art and commercializing it, and how Addie and Daniel's sibling-like bond on set unlocked one of the most heartbreaking and organic fight scenes of the festival. Plus: a cast that's almost 100% musicians, why every note of bucket drumming was recorded live, and what it means to fight for your sibling bonds and be the one who breaks the cycle of dysfunction.

Episode 563
Thursday, March 19, 2026 • Duration 25:33
***SXSW AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER*** Director Hannah Shealy and co-director/producer Celine Sutter talk Birth Is for..., a smart, funny, and impactful pilot that left everyone wanting a whole lot more. Hannah drew from her real experience as a birth doula to write something authentic to the work she was doing and dispel stereotypes. They dig into how the show will open minds, the "moan dance," and the scene where a laboring woman says she misses her mom that had the whole room feeling something.

Director-writer-star Aisha Evelyna joins co-stars Ruth Goodwin, Joseph Marcell, and Brett Donahue to talk Seahorse, a film about community, failure, and redemption.

Plus: Joseph's quietly devastating portrayal of Cyrus, the chemistry Ruth and Aisha share rooted in their longtime friendship, and how the haters gave Aisha the fire to prove them wrong.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 22:47
Director Mekhai Lee joins the sibs to talk Them That's Not, a short film about Drea, a queer hard-of-hearing woman navigating grief, family, and the feeling of being an outsider in your own home. Mekhai opens up about losing his grandmother the same day he got the grant opportunity that sparked the film — and how he chose to transmute that grief into art. They dig into the extraordinary collaboration with star Angel Theory, the Oscar-worthy sound design from Candace Mortier, and why sign language demanded a whole new visual grammar from cinematographer Sade Ndya and editor CJ Duncan.

SXSW: Directors Sonja O'Hara and Adam Hoelzel
Episode 565
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 29:31
Directors Sonja O'Hara and Adam Hoelzel join the sibs to talk about their feature, Snare, the psychedelic queer sexual thriller that started as a proof of concept and ended up at Tribeca's Creator Labs. They dig into the practical effects philosophy inspired by Pan's Labyrinth, how an intimacy coordinator transformed vulnerable scenes into a choreographed dance, and the scrappy reverse-engineering approach that got the film made. Plus: a very important debate about which Muppet should play RoboCop.

SXSW: Micaela Wittman is Perfect and Clairevoyant
Episode 555
Monday, March 16, 2026 • Duration 27:02
Micaela Wittman joins the sibs to talk Clairevoyant, the indie film that started it all for her. Micaela breaks down Claire, a well-meaning, slightly privileged, deeply flawed woman who keeps getting taken advantage of by the corrupt spiritual world around her (neutral color palettes bring you closer to god, apparently). They get into Earl's hilariously detached off-camera energy, 12 hours of improv, and why the film earns its compassion for a character. Plus, Micaela reflects on her character in the SXSW premiering Perfect — the grounded, no-nonsense counterweight to Kai (Ashley Moore)'s beautiful chaos.

SXSW: My NDA with Miriam Shor and Juliane Dressner
Episode 558
Monday, March 16, 2026 • Duration 32:22
Directors Juliane Dressner and Miriam Shor talk My NDA, a film that cuts to the heart of how non-disclosure agreements are weaponized against the very people they claim to protect. They dig into the legal and human cost of signing away your voice — and why forcing someone to choose between justice and silence is no different than any other form of coercion.

SXSW: Grind with Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Christoper Rodriguez Marquette, Chelsea Stardust, Brea Grant, and Ed Dougherty
Episode 557
Sunday, March 15, 2026 • Duration 32:32
Directors Brea Grant, Chelsea Stardust, and Ed Dougherty join actors Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, and Christopher Rodriguez Marquette to talk Grind, a horror-satire about the soul-crushing, bathroom-break-denying, time-loop nightmare of gig economy labor. They dig into how horror lets you take something already happening in the world and make it bigger to make a point, why the billionaire villains still get to be human, and how a rotating room, a matte painter who worked on Return of the Jedi, and a free warehouse in K-Town add up to a high production value indie that punches way above its weight. Plus: chair exercises, wardrobe arcs, worker solidarity, and the importance of tipping your barista.
